Michael Clinkscales - Student Health & Well Being

Schools for the blind are often responsible for more than sheer academics.  We are responsible for the whole student; helping them navigate the world as well as textbooks.  TSBVI Social Worker (and 27-year veteran of blind education) Michael Clinkscales joins Emily for a wide-ranging conversation on what brought a college student intent on teaching to taking on social work for a school for the blind, the challenges and rewards of the work, and some energizing new teaching methods on the horizon.  TSBVI Instructor John Rose joins us for the expert segment to discuss one of those new methods: the Unhushed Curriculum.
