We still have the power to create meaningful, enriching learning experiences for our students.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today’s guest, Kyle Wagner, shares with us that sometimes, simple innovation is the most powerful thing we can do for our schools. Teachers: Don’t overthink it. Focus on what you</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">can</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">do for your students and what changes you</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">do</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">have the ability to make. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And parents?
