S2 EP 030 | Student Advocacy & Activism: a Conversation with Advocate & Consultant, Kristen
For the 30th episode, a local MA teacher shares how she successfully fulfilled her dream of becoming a business owner. Kristen, a fellow MA teacher, transitioned from special education teacher to building an advocacy and consulting company focusing on student well-being. An avid activist for students with disabilities and education reform, Kristen has worked mostly with middle and high school students since 2012.
Kristen discusses how COVID impacted education and what led her to pursue consulting advocacy for students and families. This passion ultimately inspired her to launch “L&F Educational Associates,” where she works with districts & families for a top-down & bottom-up approach.
After 13 years in the field, Kristen has seen a lot and discusses the importance of doing what’s best for kids, even if it’s challenging. As she says, “One misstep can change the trajectory of a child’s life”. This episode covers student equity & well-being, the lack of transparency in education & the importance of amplifying student & family voices in the community.
You’ll want to listen to discover how Kristen is making a difference in the education community, bringing about positive change & how the “lightbulb” moments keep her going!
