We are joined by GRAMMY Award winning music educator and leader Jared Cassedy, the Director of Performing Arts for the Lexington, Massachusetts School District. We talk candidly about why it seems so god-awful hard to do our jobs in this specific moment in time, coming out of the most unprecedented year in education’s history and feeling like we have to revive all the things we used to do pre-Covid (even though some of the stuff we used to do pre-Covid was actually kinda harmful). We talk about strategies for making it through to the other side too — spoiler alert: it’s all about remembering we and our students are human.
