We’re joined by the 2018 New York State Teacher of the Year. Throughout his decades-long career, Christopher Albrecht has helped students and fellow teachers navigate great change in the education system. The past few years have been no exception. Albrecht has also embraced experiential learning, both for himself and his students. For the last four years, he has spent his summers working with the National Park Service and has found ways to connect his classroom to that work.

Albrecht joins us for the hour to discuss these efforts and to weigh in on the current state of the teaching profession. Our guest:

  • Christopher Albrecht, 2018 New York State Teacher of the Year, 4th grade teacher at the Fred W. Hill School in the Brockport Central School District, and National Park service ranger
