Today I\'ve invited two current teachers,\\xa0Tamara Russell\\xa0and Sarah Plumitallo,\\xa0onto my Truth for Teachers podcast\\xa0to talk about what they\'re doing with their students. This is something that I hope to do on the show more often because it\\u2019s just another angle of expertise that I think is important for you to hear as a teacher. These two ladies are in the trenches, so to speak, on a daily basis and they share about their work on social media, which is where I first connected with them.\\xa0We\\u2019ve had countless conversations about an issue we\\u2019re all very passionate about, which is education equity, and\\xa0I invited them both on the show so that more educators can learn from their experiences.

Our conversation ended up running for over an hour! For the first time ever on Truth for Teachers, I\'ve decided to air almost the entire interview and split it into two episodes. The first half hour of our conversation was focused on classroom-based work, and the last 20 minutes was focused on building trust and relationships with families.

Tune in today to our conversation centered around classroom ideas that teachers can focus on in high poverty classrooms that actually work!
