Episode 4: It's Not Just a Job, It's Been a Life
Episode 4!! This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Doug Endee. He has been an administrator at Overbrook for 20+ years and taught in Camden prior. He shares amazing insight on how he has supported students through difficult times and making connections with them by being authentic.
Melissa and I truly enjoyed listening to all of the stories Mr. Endee shared with us because his passion for his job and the love for all of his students is undeniable. We hope you can sit and listen and learn as well! -

Customer Reviews
Love The Podcast!
As an African American student, I have to say thank you. I face the reality as a person of color in America, but often times I think students see teachers and administrators as authority figures which leads to a disconnect. School faculty have lives outside of the school which leads to experiences that are similar to my own and my fellow peers. This podcast brings to light many issues that are often swept under the rug. Thanks to this podcast I now see things from a new perspective!
Amazing!
This podcast is absolutely fantastic! As an educator it is an invaluable resource.
