Dr. Bertrand & Dr. Porcher co-host with Mrs. Marian Dingle to discuss the great resignation of educators in K-12 spaces. More specifically, we discuss Mrs. Dingle's pivot from the classroom to an educational organization. Mrs. Marian Dingle was a classroom elementary educator for twenty-two years. Her early career involved local advocacy for marginalized students and families, while her later work involved national activism through publications, presentations and leadership in educational organizations. Realizing that she could no longer accept current schooling structures, she left classroom teaching nearly a year ago to work with an organization devoted to better social and emotional outcomes for Black and Latinx learners. She speaks from the heart and strives to lead with authenticity, determined to leave the world better than she found it.
