Thanks to @khmmc and the @LearnerEmpower team for giving me a platform to discuss learner empowerment, identity, and self-efficacy! These factors are essential for creating learner-centered models.
I recently had the chance to chat with @ziegeran and @davidmbeyer about our experience developing a learner-centered pilot program. If you're interested in learner-centered education, check out the podcast and other resources on @TheHumanSchool website!

"As with all of the work involved in bringing learner-centered education to life, there is no distinct endpoint but rather a series of both incremental and radical changes that we create to improve our learnersâ educational experiences." - @JoshEckereducation-reimagined.org/fivâŚ
Quick clarification: schools arenât âshutting downâ amid Coronavirus spikes. Theyâre going virtual. Teachers will be working tirelessly to make distance learning happen because a school isnât about a building. Itâs about relationships. Always has. Always will.
As challenging as this year has been, one silver lining is that it's revealing opportunities to innovate in school communities that can accept and embrace change.

Whatâs the worst typo youâve made in a professional email? I once invited 100 parents to check out the âInternational Bachelorette Program.â I had a principal who told parents their kids needed to show up to a âmeth intervention.â
I had the awesome and surreal experience of being on a podcast I've listened to for years at this point. Thanks @ziegeran and @lfuinihetten for having us on, and thanks @davidmbeyer for being a great teaching and podcasting collaborator. #yoursalisbury
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, on an individual and societal level. What leads to people, children and adolescents included, becoming active participants in their learning and in life? joshecker.com/2020/01/22/whaâŚ
