Seeing Possibilities with Chris Friesen - Podcast

30/05/2022

Please check out the four episodes I have posted in May. These include conversations with Dan, who is a Secondary School teacher in South-Western Ontario, and Jessie, who is a former student of mine and currently completing her Master's in Geology at the University of Ottawa.
There are two other episodes that are just me going solo. The first one, Time Well Spent, outlines a particular effort I made to engage parents. The second, 23 days, is an example of trying to relay a bigger perspective message to my staff at a time where we were struggling.
