Speaking with Students
"There can be no kindness too soon"
This podcast was inspired by the greatest resource in education; our students. I found student-voice to be surprisingly absent from educational podcasts, and so "Speaking with Students" was born.
My hope is to highlight student experiences and elevate student voices in casual, but meaningful conversations with former students. Engage in the themes and concepts of each episode, driven by the real, live reflections of students.
