About the Host
Anne K.
A 36-year veteran of middle school teaching, Anne is now happily retired. But just because she gave up her room keys doesn't mean she's given up her passion for public education. Anne now works as a university supervisor, helping student teachers and interns navigate the credentialing process while maintaining their sanity in their classrooms. As the creator, producer, editor, and one of the hosts of Transparency in Teaching, Anne hopes to shed light on the plight of public school teachers and the issues that affect them the most. Her mission is to open the classroom doors so that people everywhere can see the real problems educators at all levels deal with, not the politicized garbage that comes out of Aunt Mary's Facebook feed.
When not working to enlighten the masses, Anne enjoys spending time with her husband and two dogs (an adorable Italian greyhound mix thingy and a Boston Terrier, courtesy of the local shelters. Adopt a pet! They need you more!). She also enjoys spending time with her two grown sons when they can break away from young adulthood to spend time with their mother.
