This Ain't On The Test

WITH YOUR HOSTS BRANDYN AND BETH

What started as conversations between educators grew into a multi-format project: a podcast, live events, and digital media that push past standardized narratives of what teaching, development, and self-care are supposed to look like. This here can't be taught. But it will be told.

Who All Gon Be There?

Creating a classroom where every student feels seen, heard, and valued is no small task. Beth and Brandyn challenge us to rethink what a culturally responsive classroom really means. It’s not just about recognizing a few cultures or identities; it’s about understanding the full range of experiences everyone brings to the space, including the teacher. When we honor all these voices, we build a learning environment that connects, teaches empathy, and mirrors the diverse society
