Maine ASCD: The Podcast returns for Season 2!
We've been off since April because... well... I'm sure most people know why. Things have been crazy, to say the least.

The Importance Of Connection... Now, More Than Ever

The Importance Of Connection... Now, More Than Ever

This episode is nothing fancy, but incredibly important. It‘s about the power and value of CONNECTION, and the impact it can have during a crisis. The message: you matter, and your ideas matter. To share your genius, because your idea that you think isn’t much of anything could be a game changer for someone else. Get connected; stay connected; and we’ll make it through this.
