Beyond The Letters

I loved everything about this podcast from the intro music and purpose statement at the beginning to the five questions at the end of every episode and everything in between. In multiple episodes Kate and Maggie speak of teachers that want to make LGBTQ inclusion a part of their learning environment but fear they can’t. I felt like they were speaking right to me. Each episode made me reflect on myself as an educator and the classroom space I create for my students and their families. If you feel the climate of your community limits your ability to be an outspoken ally, this podcast offers you small tokens of advice that will leave you inspired, hopeful, and motivated.

Thank you for the very important work you are doing. Thank you for helping well intentioned but still learning teachers like me.

Thank you, Kate, Maggie and your awesome edu-guests! I'm a mom, an educator, a citizen. And I know it's important for me to be a learner, too. As I listen to Kate & Maggie and their dynamic and honest guests, I've built up more knowledge about the LGBTQ community AND heard ideas about how I can be a braver upstander for queer kids, teachers and community members -- work we need to do to have healthy world. AND -- I love the 5 questions feature at the end of each episode.

So very important. Thank you for bringing light to these issues in such an engaging way!
