18 Jun Social-emotional learning in middle school [NAESP]

[I realized that I am way behind on posting recent podcast episodes, so I am catching up!]

Liz Garden and I had the pleasure of hosting Francesca Peck, principal of Polaris Charter Academy in Chicago, Illinois, on the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) podcast in May. Polaris is a flagship EL school and is doing absolutely incredible things with its advisory program, Crew, and its social-emotional learning work with students. I hope that you find this conversation as inspiring as I did. I was absolutely blown away when I visited Polaris a couple of years ago!
