On a recent episode of The Travel Wins podcast, Dr. Larissa Rector, PhD, shared eye-opening insights into the challenges facing modern educators. From teacher burnout and test score pressure to the increasing reliance on uncertified teachers, she highlighted the growing struggles within the education system.
As a single mother and dedicated educator, Dr. Rector understands firsthand the balancing act teachers must navigate. She passionately advocates for teacher empowerment, a culture of collaboration, and a broader definition of student success—one that values emotional and social development just as much as academic performance.
Beyond the classroom, Dr. Rector’s Snug as a Bug Foundation provides hospitalized students with books and pajamas, emphasizing the need for compassion in education. Her work serves as a powerful reminder of the impact educators have on young lives. 🎙️ Listen to our full conversation to learn how we can better support teachers, rethink student success, and inspire positive change in education.
