Digical Education

I had the opportunity to meet a long-time educator and school leader, Becky Midboe, in Northwest Washington. We got to talking about the podcast, how she shares it with others, and the things she's learned from it. This podcast is some of her reflections from those learnings.
Enjoy!

This is our monthly conversation with an educator as we hear their stories as inspired by my friend Dennis Eastman. This month's conversation is with Samantha Navarro of New Millennium Secondary School.

Dr. Doron Zinger is Director of CalTeach Science and Math Program at UC Irvine and has been a teacher and administrator. In this conversation we begin to scratch the surface of what Ungrading is, why it makes a difference in the learning community, and how to get started in thinking different about our work.

In this conversation, I get to talk to Andrew Campanella about National School Choice Week, and how to "Celebrate Schools and Engage Parents" as we support and develop educational opportunities for each student that best meets their needs, hopes, and dreams.
Andrew Campanella is the president of National School Choice Week, the largest public awareness effort in the U.S. focusing on opportunity in K-12 education. He is also the author of The School Choice Roadmap: 7 Steps to Finding the Right School for Your Child, a guidebook that helps parents identify education environments that meet their children’s needs.
You can find some great resources on both of these links.
