Paying it Forward - Chris and Lynne Dier

When you're a teacher in large part because of a teacher you had, there is no greater gift you can give than to tell them so. In the next three episodes, you'll meet three teachers duos, one inspired, the other inspiring. Truth be told, in every case, the inspiration most definitely goes both ways. First up is history teacher, Tik-Tok-er (@cmdla), Stanford Hollyhock Fellow, and Louisiana State Teacher of the year, Chris Dier, who brought with him the teacher that most inspired him, his mom, Lynne Dier, now in her 45th year of teaching. Their mutual adoration will leave you knowing for sure that we belong to each other; their ethic will remind you there's no such thing as other people's children. This episode is a must listen if you want to remember just how important your work is.
