Being “Agents of Our Future” with Rachel Davison Humphries
"Is this the best way to make change in people's lives?"
That's the question Rachel Davison Humphries faced in the 2000s. As an EMT in East Texas, she knew she was providing immediate help to people in need, but she was searching for a career that would leave a longer, lasting impact.
Humphries began exploring colleges, philosophy, and charity, which led her to embrace the concept of direct assistance — which eventually led her to enter education.
In this episode, Humphries discusses teaching at Montessori schools, developing curriculums in Guatemala, and helping students internalize the importance of civics through he position at the Bill of Rights Institute.
Humphries' story will connect with career changers and career teachers alike as she recounts transformative moments and highlights the importance of agency-driven education.
