    A Very Special Episode: Identity in Education

    In this special episode, I share some thoughts and experiences from my time working in education, as well as information I've learned during my first semester in graduate school at Temple University. This episode was created as my final project for "Leadership in Diverse Context", taught by Professor ShaVon Savage.

    Removing Outside Obstacles with Joe Hejlek

    In this episode, I sat down with my colleague Joe Hejlek to discuss how he created his role as Director of Wraparound Services at KIPP NJ--and what he does on a day-to-day basis--as well as our similar roots as newbie teachers in New Orleans, the nuances of school funding and income inequality, and why he thinks requiring educators to be extraordinary is a bad idea.

    Blue Sky Origins with Robert Esposito

    In this first episode, I sit down with my father, Robert Esposito, to discuss his 40+ year career in education. We discuss his own experiences in school in the 50's and 60's, his time in an open-model classroom, and decisions about education from a parent's perspective. We also dug in to his roles as both a teacher and administrator--and what he thinks they each get wrong about the other--as well as  the "Blue Sky" theory that became the namesake for this podcast.
