In this episode, my guest, Crystal Frommert, and I have a great conversation about something that challenges new and veteran teachers alike: How to have better conversations with our students’ parents and/or guardians in order to make connections and ensure collaboration that will really enhance our work with their kids. I love learning new things from my guests, and I certainly got some tips and ideas from Crystal that I wish I had known earlier. But it’s never too late! And if you love Ted Lasso as much as Crystal and I do, you’ll have a blast playing my Ted Lasso themed The 5-Minute Game Show! I want to thank my special guest, Crystal Frommert and my fauxmercial helper today, Yossie Frankel.
