Dr. Janet Pilcher celebrates her new book, The Extraordinary Gift: Our Teachers, by sharing powerful stories from two Studer Education team members. Listen as Tiffany Latshaw shares how a fourth-grade teacher's belief transformed her life, and hear from Dr. Casey Blochowiak about the school community that became a safe haven during a difficult time. Their experiences reveal how a teacher's simple act of kindness can change a child's life and how a school can become a vital source of security and hope.
This episode addresses questions such as:
- How does the simple act of a teacher "seeing" a student create a lasting sense of security and belonging?
- Why is a school so much more than a place for academics?
- What is the incredible power of one educator to change the trajectory of a child's life?
