Mentoring and Coaching 4 Change with Marquis Taylor

Ronald Beghetto and Marquis Taylor from Coaching 4 Change have a conversation about the power of college students serving as mentors to the K12 students and how Taylor sees this model as a tool, and a means to build a talent pipeline in schools. Taylor explains that college students enhance what the teacher is already doing well, but the collaboration allows teachers to think differently about how to best serve and support the needs of each student. Taylor imagines a future where school districts begin using mentoring as a tool to recruit and create amazing talent.
