Stellar podcast!
Such a terrific podcast to inform, advocate for, and advance the field of school psychology. The guests are trailblazers in their respective areas of expertise. Meanwhile, the hosts are innovative, witty, and smart in their own right. A must-listen for any school psychologist or district administrator. I wish Apple allowed for more stars.
