I've had Thomas Arnett on the podcast before to talk about Innovation in Education, but this conversation stems from an article I really enjoyed entitled "New Value Networks: The missing piece in the K-12 disruption equation."

He also studies demand for innovative resources and practices across the K–12 education system using the Jobs to Be Done Theory.
