Teachers In Line for Vaccines
Now that teachers are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines, Governor Gretchen Whitmer says she wants schools to start offering in-person learning for students by March. But that depends on those vaccines actually getting to educators. On today’s episode, we’ll talk to a reporter about how quickly that might actually happen. You’ll also hear from teachers themselves about what this year of pandemic learning has been like for them. GUESTS: Sarah Cwiek, Michigan Radio reporter based in Detroit Teachers: Jessyca Matthews, English teacher at Carmen Ainsworth High School in Flint, Michigan James Kelly, English Language Arts teacher for 9th and 10th graders at the Early College Alliance in Ypsilanti Samantha Cherwalk, high school English teacher in the Wayne-Westland Community Schools district Janine Scott, math teacher at Davis Aerospace Technical High School in Detroit Tara Cleveland, middle school choir teacher in West Michigan Stateside’s theme music is by 14KT.
