Table For Four: A Family Conversation

For the month of March we will we be talking to essential workers. They are the force that drives New York City. From first responders, transportation workers, educators all the way to the restaurant industry. We talked to our good friend Byron, a coworker of Andre. He hails from up north to pursue a career of acting in NYC. Somehow he met Andre. He has a BS in Bio Chemistry and a BA in Psychology. What a better person than to talk with him about his battle with the pandemic first hand and being one of the first groups to get the vaccine. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tableforfour/message

This week we are circling back to a topic that we kicked off our podcast with: Remote Learning.

On our first episode, we spoke about our own personal experience as parents and students and the struggles we have been dealing with learning throughout a pandemic. We knew it would not be fair to not have the same conversation with the most important people that are in our student's lives- teachers.

This week we will be talking with Jessica Martinez to hear her story and her journey through remote learning as an educator.
