Season 3: Episode 10
Educator Wellness: Moving Beyond the Hot Cocoa Cart
Amanda Culhan with guest Jon Acton
WHERE TO LISTEN
In today’s episode Courtney Flessner has a very special guest to kick off a new series on Educator Couples. Her partner in life and math education, Ryan Flessner, joins her to share their journey as educators and partners from the corridors of Ross Hall at Butler University, to the Graduate Program at Columbia University Teacher’s College, around the country and back home again to Indiana. You will love hearing their laughter and delight as they recount their early teaching missteps and successes, the authentic struggle of being an educator while having your own young kids at home, and now as they are leading the charge to create transformational change for educators across Indiana.
