Welcome everyone to National Board conversations. This is episode eight, our final episode of the season. We're so grateful to have been able to provide this programming for you. We thank you for tuning in. It was a really great opportunity and we had so much fun connecting with all these National Board certified teachers and educators, and we're just really proud of our teachers in America. So thank you for listening. If you're a fan of the podcast, share it around, tell your friends, colleagues, other educators, and teachers. Our hope is to get these talks to as many listeners as possible and help them on their journey to National Board certification. Today's guest is Jonathon Medeiros. He is a National Board certified teacher based in Hawaiʻi. Our conversation centered a lot around self-reflection, which is a major tenet of the National Board process. We talked a lot about how we can be self-reflective and be nimble in order to pivot so that we can service the students and offer a really enriched and dynamic educational experience. The ideas we discussed seemed even more relevant considering the pandemic that we're all living through.
