Just Chill with Oliver George #49 - Karin Jacobsen & Shane Wong

Join Oliver as he chills with married educators Karin Jacobsen and Shane Wong! They both work for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board as middle school teachers, in addition to being parents themselves. Karin is an English literacy development teacher who has helped refugee children overcome huge language barriers. Shane's main focus is teaching English and math as well as coaching basketball, touch football and more.

Things kick off with Karin and Shane describing their beginnings in education and talking about how they came to be a couple. The conversation then shifts to talk about how schools have been trying to adapt during the pandemic. Oliver asks what it has been like adjusting to teaching virtually, especially while their own kids are simultaneously online as students. This leads to discussion about the importance of mental health awareness and proper working conditions.
