College Talk

** THIS EPISODE IS FOR K-12 ADMIN, COUNSELORS, AND TEACHERS, AND HIGHER EDUCATION FACULTY AND STAFF!!I'm joined by THREE lovely guests today to talk about the internet sensation that sweeped the nation! Bean Dad.In the fast paced current of the internet and social media, this seems like ancient news, but we talk about how we see Bean Dads all over the place in education and how we, as educators (professors, staff, k-12 or higher ed folks) can make changes if we think we've been a Bean Dad ourselves. I want to take a moment to thank Chris, Kate, and Sabbi for giving up some of their weekend time to have this great conversation with me. Almost two weeks later and I am still thinking about it.
