In this episode of Professional Development, I sit down with Cassandra Masters, a multi-talented educator with a background in music and karate. We explore Cassandra’s journey from a band and choir specialist to a generalist teacher aspiring to move into educational leadership. Cassandra discusses how her karate training shaped her approach to structure and discipline in the classroom and reflects on how teaching multiple subjects has broadened her perspective as a future leader.We also discuss the unique challenges of teaching in a small-town school, balancing diverse teaching
assignments, and pursuing a master’s degree in educational leadership. Alongside her teaching journey, Cassandra shares her experiences fostering older animals — a passion she and her husband developed after seeing how difficult it is for elderly pets to find homes. With a dedicated room in their home, they provide a safe space for senior pets to live out their remaining years in comfort.If you enjoy this episode, be sure to follow, subscribe, and leave a review—it really helps the podcast grow!
