So often I come across a voice and/or perspective with this podcast that I’ve never encountered before—and almost immediately, it becomes a mainstay in my thinking going forward. This podcast challenges educators with empathy and advocates for students with conviction. A must-listen for anyone in education. Could not recommend more!
This is a must-listen for all who wish to bring the humanity back to learning in our schools.
A much needed platform for progressive and humanizing perspectives in education reform.
