Education is hard. No matter your role in education, creating independent learners is the goal and the means to closing the achievement gap, lowering overwhelm in teachers, and re-engaging students in learning. Each episode, we will talk through implementable ways to equip your teachers (or yourself) to be a responsive teacher and help your students thrive.
