Hi,
I really enjoyed listening to your podcast. I think the learner-centered innovation model is really interesting. I like how you have us start by thinking about, “what if?” It is important that we make sure the learning is focused on what the students need. I have made a note to find out what my students’ interests are for next school year. Love the idea of having the students learn what the issues are in their own communities and then work to find solutions for them by working together.
Thank you
