Anton on One with Rica Basilio (Education, Child Development, Online Teaching)

Rica Basilio is a teacher from Urban School for Children, a progressive, play-based preschool based on a social studies curriculum that started during the pandemic. We discuss the challenges of teaching online and the realizations she gets on the job while teaching her 4-5 year old students. It’s true what they say, that the teachers are the ones thatt learn so much from interacting with these young unadulterated minds.
