What happens when you take a group of students, many of whom struggle with a disability, and you put them in an Educational Service Center that is launching an entrepreneurial initiative? In a word: engagement.
Tom Isaacs, superintendent of the Warren County Educational Service Center, brings his over 40 years of experience in public education to this episode where he explores a range of themes related to reaching students with disabilities while supporting the staff who provide their care.
Tom explores the need for ongoing positive affirmation, the need to give students real-life experiences where they have ownership, the need for a career-ready education, and the need for schools to teach durable skills.
