Podcast Description: Getting out of the yearly cycle of existential threats to public education will require electing more politicians with a practical understanding of education as well as real empathy for educators. One such political hopeful is Natalie MacLachlan, a WA theatre teacher and WAEA member who is running for the House of Representatives in Idaho District 22A.
We sit down with Ms. MacLachlan to talk about teaching, what inspired her to throw her hat in the ring, and what she would focus on if elected.
