In each episode of Elevating Student Well-Being, we’ll discuss challenges and innovations in K-12 education, and ways we can all support the physical, mental, and academic well-being of students inside and outside of the school day.
In the latest episode of the Elevating Student Well-Being podcast, host Brian LeTendre welcomes Katie Brackenridge to the show for a conversation about how districts, schools, and expanded learning program providers can better align their work to fully realize the potential of expanded learning for students.
Katie is a champion of whole-child education and a pioneer in the expanded learning space, and she shares insights from her journey as an educator, program director, consultant, and advocate. She and Brian discuss the impact that high-quality expanded learning programs can have for students, helping districts and schools understand the unique value of expanded learning, and better aligning school, district, and expanded learning initiatives.
