Lorraine Connell: How to Develop Every Learner’s Student Leadership Skills

My guest today is Lorraine Connell. She first caught my attention with some great blog posts on her site Peers Not Fears and now she has a new podcast that features voices of students, as well as teachers called Unimagined. Among other things, she has been working with all students to help develop their leadership skills. It’s a great conversation that includes questioning our pre-conceived ideas of what student leadership looks like to include all learners, dealing with implicit bias and going gradeless. And to top that off, Lorraine aces The 5-Minute Game Show.!

Special thanks to my guest Lorraine and to my fauxmercial voice helpers Naftali Bookstein and Tuvia Frankel.
