You- I'm energized by educators across the country, like those I had the opportunity to collaborate with last week at the Jefferson County Kentucky Deeper Learning conference, who believe in themselves and our collective future enough to make the changes that are necessary today. Check out conference highlights.
Learners- The resiliency of our young learners and their ability to solve problems that matter to them when the right enabling conditions are in place continues to inspire me every day.
