About Beyond My Years, with Ana Torres and Eric Cross
Join host Ana Torres and her classroom insider, Eric Cross, to learn what the new Amplify podcast Beyond My Years is all about. Together, they dig into the essence of what it means to be an educator, the challenges that come with it, and how Beyond My Years will connect with it all. Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek into what's ahead, including conversations with legendary educators (like one who was an inspiration for a hit TV show).Quotes:“As lifelong learners, as educators, it's built into our profession and our DNA to want to be mentored, but there's a shrinking population of those people.” —Eric Cross“The people who've been in the game for a long time, they can save new teachers a lot of years of trial and error.” —Eric Cross“We're more than just the educator or the teacher. We're more than that. We're the nurturer. We're the nurse, we're mom, we're dad, we're aunt, we're all, we play different roles in their lives. And again, it is showing up.” —Ana Torres
