Maine ASCD: The Podcast returns for Season 2!  We've been off since April because... well... I'm sure most people know why. Things have been crazy, to say the least.  Today MEASCD President Matt Drewette-Card (@DrewetteCard) and MEASCD Executive Director Dr. Leigh Alley catch up on what's been happening since April, where MEASCD is now, and where MEASCD is going. We discuss what it's been like these last few months; reflect on and celebrate the MEASCD Micro-Credential Suite and our winning of the Affiliate Excellence Award for Professional Learning (2020), our new website (www.meascd.org), and more.

This episode is nothing fancy, but incredibly important. It‘s about the power and value of CONNECTION, and the impact it can have during a crisis. The message: you matter, and your ideas matter. To share your genius, because your idea that you think isn’t much of anything could be a game changer for someone else. Get connected; stay connected; and we’ll make it through this. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/maineascd/message
