Gifted and talented educator, experiential learning specialist, ELA teacher, or digital media instructor. No matter the title, I am just trying to develop human potential. The goal of this podcast is to help students not only survive but thrive in school and in life. I know some of the decisions they make and the skills they develop in middle and high school can set them up for success later in life. I interview teachers, middle school students, high school students, and graduates to try to find the secrets to making this challenging time of life a little bit easier. Let's thrive together!
