The Podcast for educators! The name Haven is like a personal homage to the area of the Bronx where I worked for the past seven years, the Mott Haven section, the name of the first school I worked in was Mott Haven Village Prep H.S. and where I really built my foundation as a professional, Bronx Haven H.S.
Bronx Haven was given the name Bronx Haven because of the fact that it is located in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx, also because part of the vision was for the school to be a Haven for students. The definition of Haven is: a place of shelter, safety, refuge. 
The mission of this podcast is to play the role of a digital haven for educators where educators can find shelter, safety, refuge. It will be a place for educators to connect, to network, to build, to be encouraged because this field can be very draining, has a high burn out rate. It will be a place to escape for a short period where not only can they network, build and be encouraged, but they can hear funny stories, share funny stories, and hear some light-hearted things. It will also be a place for a constant reminder. Working as an educator the past several years, during the most stressful times, during the times where I even questioned if I was in the right field, questioned if I was making any difference, felt like giving up, I always brought myself back to this one question to get my focus back and I always used this question to help my peers get their focus back and it’s: What is this all about? What is the bottom line, the ultimate goal of my job? It’s all about the students. That’s the constant reminder that will be shared. It’s all about the students!
