Revolutionizing Education: How Teachers Can Transform Education and Save Democracy - Michael Soskil | Season 1 Episode 2

beyond the curriculum

“An educated, enlightened and informed population is one of the surest ways of promoting the health of a democracy”

— Nelson Mandela

Michael Soskil is a fourth-grade science teacher, Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Teachers Advisory Committee, 2016 Global Teacher Prize Top-10 Finalist, and the editor of the book “Flip the System: How Teachers Can Transform Education and Save Democracy.”

On July 8th, Michael gave his keynote at the National Network of State Teachers of the Year’s Teacher Leadership Conference titled, “Flip the System” where Michael challenged educators to be political in their role without being partisan.

This the second episode of a five-part series. You will hear from the speakers themselves who will help us dive deeper into their message.

Throughout this series, I am joined by the 2018 Virginia State Teacher of the Year, Michelle Cottrell-Williams.

Michelle is going to help me unpack the takeaways of these educational leaders who’s messages will take us beyond the curriculum.
