Episode 15 - A Career in Education / Being a male elementary teacher with Doug Wren

In this episode we begin a conversation with Doug Wren, a recently retired colleague. He has an interesting teacher’s story to share. I knew Doug as an Assessment and Evaluation expert, and in the next episode, he will share insights about assessment. But before that, he taught elementary school. I find his insights into being a male teacher in a largely female dominated world fascinating.  It’s always good to lean on the experience of our colleagues, and I find Doug a wise head to talk to. Here is his story.
