In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Sam Drazin, educator, speaker, and founder of Changing Perspectives—a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering social-emotional learning (SEL) and promoting inclusive school communities. Sam shares his personal journey and the pivotal experiences that led him to create Changing Perspectives, as well as insights into why SEL and disability awareness are critical to creating compassionate, equitable learning environments.

We dive into how Changing Perspectives helps schools integrate empathy-building programs, the importance of embracing diversity in all its forms, and actionable ways educators and communities can champion inclusion. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or advocate, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to rethink how we nurture understanding and belonging in our schools—and beyond.
