Brilliant Minds, Caring Hearts: The CES Podcast
Conversations with Education’s Changemakers
Join co-hosts Suzanne Judson-Whitehouse and Elkie Burnside as they talk with the brilliant, funny, and inspiring professionals who share their educational expertise in a variety of ways at the Collaborative for Educational Services (CES), a public nonprofit educational service agency in western Massachusetts. These conversations highlight important perspectives and insights on diverse education-related topics. Tune in twice a month for a new and thought-provoking episode for educators and for anyone who cares about preK-12 education. Topics range from showing up authentically in educational settings, developing strategies to approach learning with digital tools, exploring ways to find joy in difficult work, developing youth leadership and engagement strategies, and more.
The Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) offers direct and support services to its 37 member school districts and to state and district-level clients and partners across New England. The work of CES includes a range of direct programs and services for children and youth, particularly those at risk; and professional development, coaching and consulting projects for educators, schools and districts, and community organizations. We are excited to have this new way to share all that we are learning through the work we do and from the people who do it.
