Interview with "Dissident Teacher" hosted by Paul Rossi

In this wide-ranging interview, a high school teacher with 20-years’ experience--using the pseudonym "Dissident Teacher"--discusses the current state of K-12 education, how she does right by her students despite pressure to cave to the lowest common denominator, and her recommendations for other frustrated educators struggling to offer quality instruction despite institutional pressures.
