Also, we talk about about being a parent of a DISD student which hasn't happened nearly often enough on our show. Enjoy. Hopefully we can do a second AFT podcast next week. Stay tuned.

We wanted to introduce you to the person behind the Executive Director title by chatting with her about how she got her start in education and why she decided to stay. In this week's interview, I asked her more about the organization and the role of TFA in Dallas. If you have any problem listening directly on our site, you can also listen on Soundcloud.
She pretty much never does interviews and explains why this week. We were lucky enough to get two! Common complaints she addresses include, but are not limited to the following: 1. TFA teachers only get 5 weeks of training. 2. There are no people of color. 3. All TFA teachers quit. In case you missed it: Alex Hales - Dallas Education Podcast: Part 1 Follow us on Twitter; iTunes; Soundcloud; Stitcher; Facebook When have you ever heard an interview with Executive Director of Dallas-Fort Worth Teach for America, Alex Hales? NEVER, that's when. This is what we call a Turn and Talks exclusive. This is a rare moment in Dallas education news, and she did not just one, but TWO interviews with us.
This first one will introduce you to the woman behind the organization bringing hundreds of new teachers into DFW and let you get to know her as more than just a nameless, faceless, leader behind a sometimes controversial and misunderstood organization (Teach for America) Next week, you'll hear me talk to her about TFA's plans and priorities in DFW. Alex also debunks some of the common myths and complaints about Teach for America in Dallas-Fort Worth. You can also listen on the platforms below.
