Virtual Session
This session is meant to showcase a balanced approach between a recent graduate and a veteran teacher. The student will share the biggest hurdles to her learning effectively (connections, grades, student agency) and how these impacted her experience of school. She will also share a What Works for Me section. The veteran teacher will then address some of the ideas shared with practical ideas which address the big ideas which have worked in her context.
