How do students choose courses that reflect who they are, and who they’re becoming?

In this episode of Talking the WCASD Way, we explore high school course selection and how thoughtful planning helps students design learning paths aligned with their interests, strengths, and future goals.

Whether you’re a student, family member, or community partner, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and perspective on choosing a path that fits, without pressure to have everything figured out.

In this episode, Superintendent Dr. David Christopher joins Talking the WCASD Way for a State of the District conversation. Together, David and Kalia reflect on accomplishments across classrooms and communities, discuss current priorities, and look ahead to the work that continues in support of every student, every day!

Sometimes the best conversations are the unplanned ones! In this pre-winter break episode, Mrs. Molly Schwemler and Dr. Kalia Reynolds hit pause on the typical episode plan and talk about how Talking the WCASD Way came to life, why creating space for stories and transparency matters, and what they’ve enjoyed most along the way. They also share what they're hoping to highlight next, and invite listeners to help shape future episodes by submitting topic ideas. Consider this your backstage pass and an invitation to join the conversation.
