Episode 7- Kelly Carlson

Today’s guest, Kelly Carlson, has taken on many roles in her time at our school, and has most recently taken on the title of attendance dean while continuing to teach social studies part time. Something that really amazes me about Kelly is her ability to lean into all the challenges that we face as a school in the hopes of creating an inclusive, supportive, and also academically rigorous school experience for our students. In today’s episode you hear Kelly talk about the process that she takes to innovate around some of these difficult challenges, and how she has helped to create a system at our school to set our most vulnerable student up for success. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/matt-brisbin/message

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
