Get (micro)Schooled

Welcome to the Get (micro) Schooled with CALE Ed. & Co podcast! We are dedicated educators, with many years of experience in the field.

We are committed to partnering with anyone in the educational sphere to make learning opportunities and outcomes the very best they can be. But don’t let our passion for education fool you - we also know how to have a good time! We started this podcast to bring some laughter and light back to education. So get ready to laugh and learn with us as we share what we are learning on our microschool journey.
