112. Change Takes Action from Everyone

We recently hosted our second annual EdActive Collective summit to help support a learner-centered, equitable learning environment for all children. With the help of a fantastic list of trailblazing educational and industry leaders, attendees heard from experts on topics that helped to reimagine education models, apply neuroscience to learning, raise youth activists, support leaders through this challenging time, and so much more.

 

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing some of my own biggest takeaways from the summit and giving you access to all the presentations, even if you didn’t sign up ahead of time.

 

If we want to change the face of education, we have to keep talking about it and we need to take what we’ve learned and take action. I hope this episode is the catalyst for such action on your part.
