In this episode of Teacher Voice, Cyndi and Brendan chat with Misti Kemmer, a fourth grade teacher from Russell Elementary in Los Angeles, and Tynisha Jointer, a behavioral health specialist who works for Chicago Public Schools.

The two educators discuss their own educational journeys, as well as their experience advocating in Washington D.C. as a part E4E’s #InClassNotCuffs campaign. The conversation zooms in and out, discussing the importance of the 2014 Discipline Guidance issued by President Obama and the potential consequences of rescinding it.
