Level Up Podcast Gives Voice to Empowered Learning

Introducing "Level Up," a new podcast series with Superintendent Bruce Gearing. When it comes to the idea of Empowered Learning – both for students and staff – this series will look to bring to life real-world examples of this happening in #1LISD. In this series trailer, hear from Gearing as he shares the journey he has been on the past few months and how the importance of "ownership of learning" became crystal clear. It's the bedrock of connecting students to their passions. That passion leads to purpose, and that purpose can change the world. The future of our community, of our state, of our world is right here in our public schools. And this way of thinking is about empowering them to take the future and mold it into something that is theirs. Later this week, be on the lookout for the series' first episode with a very special guest: A.J. Juliani.
