Description:
Hydie Hess works at a private Catholic school as a middle school teacher where she teaches classes on science and religion. In this interview we discuss her early experiences with education, how she became a teacher, and the significance of strong relationships between teachers and their students. She tells her story of how the Covid-19 virus shut down her school and the work she did to help make online teaching functional and as equitable as possible. She also discusses the impact George Floyd’s death and the subsequent National Black Lives Matter protests had on her teaching practice as well as the type of anti-racism work being done by her staff and administration.
