The Class Act
The Class Act podcast goes beyond lesson plans and report cards—it’s about the people who shape our lives through encouragement, creativity, and compassion. It may be your favourite teacher, but it could also be a supportive coach or mentor. Host Rhodora Meliton-Vanderpool has been an educator for over twenty-five years and has mentored many students and colleagues along the way. She’s also an author who’s written children’s books with Juno award-winning artists Maestro Fresh Wes and DJ Charlie B. Rhodora also cares deeply about “holding the door open” for the next generation. More importantly, opening new doors! She’s also an artist manager and serves on the Board of Directors for Women in Music Canada. At home as a mom of two, in the classroom as a teacher, or on the sidelines as a coach, she embraces every teachable moment as a chance to learn alongside the next generation. Because every class act deserves a champion. Follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and watch for new episodes at the theclassactpodcast.com.
