Donuts in the Lounge: A Podcast for Educators
by Ryan Estrellado
Hi, I’m Ryan Estrellado and this is Donuts in the Lounge, a podcast for educators. I’ve worked in public schools since 2001 as a school psychologist and as an administrator. I’ve met a lot of educators over the years and they all have one thing in common: they want to create the best possible experience they can for students. But the truth is, that means something different to everyone. And there are challenges along the way. On this podcast, we talk about those challenges honestly. You’ll hear from teachers, leaders, and researchers about what they’re up against in their education jobs.
