Fairness in Sports: Why Can't Transgender People Play, Too?
<p>The issue of transgender athletes and their participation in sports has been a topic of debate in recent years. Some people believe that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete in sports, while others argue that they should be allowed to compete.</p> <p>The question of whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete often centers around concerns about fairness and safety. Opponents of transgender athletes competing in sports argue that transgender athletes have physical advantages over cisgender athletes, and that this gives them an unfair advantage in competition. </p> <p>However, many experts and organizations argue that there is no evidence to support the idea that transgender athletes have an unfair advantage in sports. The International Olympic Committee, for example, has established guidelines for the inclusion of transgender athletes in the Olympics, and these guidelines require that transgender athletes meet certain criteria, including having a testosterone level below a certain threshold, before being allowed to compete.</p> <p><strong>The ladies of Educated & Evolved support the right for transgender people to participate in sports. It is important to ensure that all athletes, regardless of their gender identity, are able to participate in sports in a fair and safe manner.</strong></p> <p>Links to legislature:</p> <p><a href="https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H574v2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">NC legislature AGAINST the right of transgender people</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/734/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Congressional Bill AGAINST transgender athletes</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/03/18/978716732/wave-of-new-bills-say-trans-athletes-have-an-unfair-edge-what-does-the-science-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">NPR: Wave of Bills</a> </p>

Educator Burnout: Actionable Steps
<p>Thank you for listening to part one of Educator Burnout. Today we are presenting part two which includes actionable steps. During this episode we explore ways to help educators with burnout as well as actionable steps you can take today to support educators in your community. Some ways to help educators are volunteering your time, supporting local education initiatives, and advocating for education funding by contacting your elected officials and urging them to support education funding at the local, state, and national levels. In addition, show appreciation. Educators work hard and often go unrecognized for their efforts. Take the time to thank the educators for all that they do to help educate our future generations.</p> <p><a href="https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm" target="_blank">Contact your Senator</a>.</p> <p>Resources mentioned in this podcast are <a href="https://www.burnedinteacher.com/burnoutquiz" target="_blank">the burnout quiz</a>, <a href="https://teachsmartwithme.com/teacher-burnout-quiz/" target="_blank">burnout quiz 2</a>, <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/education-news/articles/2022-06-13/educators-report-highest-level-of-burnout-among-all-other-industries" target="_blank">US News article</a>, and <a href="https://www.uopeople.edu/blog/what-is-academic-burnout/" target="_blank">blog about educator burnout</a>.</p> <p>Thank you for listening and sharing our podcast.</p>

Educator Burnout: What Are You Going To Do About It?
<p>Today's topic is one that is near and dear to our hearts. Our topic today is about the burnout of educators. Frustration among educators is a common issue in the education system. Common frustrations are lack of support, large class sizes, low pay and benefits, administrative demands, and high-stakes testing. To address frustration among educators, it is important to provide adequate support and resources, prioritize educator wellbeing and development, and involve educators in decision-making processes that affect their work. Additionally, it is crucial to recognize the value of educators and compensate them fairly for their work. </p> <p>For those who are serious about helping now, please volunteer at a school. Registration and background checks are required. If you're saying you don't have kids in school and this doesn't matter, think again cause your power is also in your votes. Because of the importance of this matter, we will be doing a follow-up to help everyone understand ways you can help. </p> <p>Articles that were quoted in this podcast are available <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/22/teachers-are-in-the-midst-of-a-burnout-crisis-it-became-intolerable.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mei-Lin-Chang/publication/226517875_An_Appraisal_Perspective_of_Teacher_Burnout_Examining_the_Emotional_Work_of_Teachers/links/550990a80cf26ff55f85f24f/An-Appraisal-Perspective-of-Teacher-Burnout-Examining-the-Emotional-Work-of-Teachers.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a>, and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/markcperna/2022/11/08/burnout-is-educators-top-concern-here-are-4-ways-to-help/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.
