    Karen and Tim speak to Dr. Greg Hessee. Greg shares perspectives on the current state of AP courses and the issues around access to AP opportunities for all students, not just a select few.

Greg is an English teacher as well as the AP coordinator, was formerly the Program Director of the Colorado Legacy Schools Initiative, and has been a teacher and school leader in urban schools throughout the U.S., including New York, Austin, and Denver.

Not Quinn ,

Great resource for educators!

The show keeps getting better with each episode. They explores how educators can better serve their students, and shed light on how important teachers and those who support them are in providing that service.

Scuba Jack ,

great new podcast!!!

I've listened to the first two episodes and this is gonna be a good one. For anyone with kids in the
public school system it's good to get the perspective of the educators of this country. I have a feeling
that we are going to get a lot of insights into the inner workings of the education system. Keep 'em
coming!!!
