Kassick's Corner
by Josh Kassick
A podcast for teachers, students, and anyone who needs a safe place to talk through and process the trauma of daily existence inside of and outside of public education. I have been an educator for ten years, and I am building a platform of educators that are ready to make a difference and to talk about their stories and the stories of their students. Join me in my little corner of the internet to talk all about it and all the other things that may come up along the way. Nothing in education is off limits, and I have experience in enough roles to make these conversations matter: general education, special education, and school counseling.
