Teacher Appreciation Week 2025 is here! With that in mind, we wanted to have a conversation around what exactly it means to be a teacher in this moment.
Joining that conversation? Chanea Bond, a teacher who has for some time now been an influential, important voice amongst teachers all over—advocating for what students need and deserve, and challenging educators to rise the occasion of our work.
In today’s conversation, Chanea discusses her own path into the classroom, how she sees herself as a teacher at this point in her career, and what she believes is most important to consider when thinking about one’s place in the classroom.
As always, thanks to: Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for writing and recording original intro music; Tom Csatari for allowing us to use his band’s recording of “Woodstock” from their 2020 album, Garden; and Courtney Milavec for graphic design.
Find Tom’s work at uncivilizedtom.com, and on Instagram @banduncivilized.
