Between the Bells - HFM BOCES

Education has been a huge part of who Michele is for the past 33 years, all spent in the Canajoharie Central School District. She began her career as a reading teacher for five years before spending 19 years teaching third and fourth grade, where she learned that relationships are just as important as academics. For the final nine years of her career, she served as the Pre-K thru 12 School Family Facilitator, leading the district’s work in social-emotional learning and supporting students, staff, and families. Michele’s passion has always been helping educators look beyond a child’s behavior and ask, “What is this student trying to tell us, and what skill do they need us to teach?” 

This episode introduces Jennifer Flynn, 6th grade teacher at Gloversville Enlarged School District. We discuss social studies, English, relationships in education, and the importance of laughter.
