S07 | E07 Creating Change in Education with Dr. Maureen O’Shaughnessy

<p>The youth of today are our future, so investing in them is one of the biggest ways to create a collective change for tomorrow. But, we know that to continue guiding our kids towards a better future, we have to evolve the way we connect with, teach, and support them.</p> <p>That’s why today I’m joined by Dr. Maureen O’Shaughnessy, an education activist working to change the current landscape of education. Her educational model is built on a foundation of love and compassion, focusing on human-centered learning that prepares kids for the “real” world, while giving them the tools they need to thrive as their authentic selves.</p> <p>Tune in to learn from her years of experience in education and success stories from her students, as well as ways that we can <em>all</em> make a difference and create change in education to better support our future.</p> <h2>About Maureen O’Shaughnessy:</h2> <p>Maureen O’Shaughnessy is on a mission to connect the dots between education, belonging, and youth empowerment.
