This is episode #58 of “Classroom Matters” by Educate.Today.  We are a program dedicated to speaking with some of the most outstanding educators in the nation, covering different topics in the world of teaching and learning.

On today’s episode I will be sitting down with Suzanne DeMallie, who is not only a driving force in the world of educational change, but also a breath of fresh air for parents and educators across the globe.  Suzanne is a former math teacher, advocate for auditory reform and the author of the book Can You Hear Me Now?  where she exposes the unsettling reality of our classrooms with a brutally honest account of the policies and practices that leave so many children behind.

During this conversation we will be discussing the challenges that educators face when attempting to make educational change and initiating courageous conversations.
