🎙 Elevating Teachers and Their Exponential Impact with Nínive Calegari: Hope Is My Middle Name, Season 4 Episode 4

Why aren’t we paying teachers for their exponential impact? We all have teachers who have made a difference in our lives and we might be surprised to learn how little they are compensated. In fact, 62% of parents advise against a career in education due to this wage gap. Teacher morale is the lowest in our lifetime. Yet we know that education is so important when it comes to ensuring the health of our economy, our democracy, and our very existence on this planet.

That’s why former social studies teacher Nínive Calegari started the Teacher Salary Project. She’s on a mission to make teaching the prestigious, financially viable and professionally exciting job that it can and should be. With novelist Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, Nínive co-founded 826 Valencia, a nonprofit helping students find their voice through storytelling and creative writing. And most recently, she headed up Enterprise For Youth, which since it began in 1969, has placed more than 25,000 young people in paid and often multi-year internships in fields like health care, climate and technology.

With her Mexican-American heritage and intergenerational perspective, Nínive inspires us to do better when it comes to fostering our country’s greatest asset, our young people. Join us for a powerful conversation on what the future could be if we step up and support our teachers.
