Compelling Conversations For Real Educators
I have been an educator for seven years and am always looking for new resources to further the effectiveness of my work in the classroom. This podcast is a deeply engaging way to stimulate new thoughts and creative strategies. I enjoyed taking a deeper look into classical education and especially loved hearing the break down of Colleen Dong’s experience and observations in the kindergarten classroom. Hoping for more enriching episodes as the year goes on!
