Between the Lessons

Susan Chung & Kavan Yee

Susan and Kavan are two Gen X educators who’ve spent decades in classrooms—but the lessons that shaped them most didn’t come from textbooks and studies. Between the Lessons is a space for real conversations, meaningful connection, and thoughtful reflection about everything in and out of the classroom. Class may not be in session, but sometimes, the most important learning happens in the in-between.
