Rooting in STUDENTS

Roots L.E.A.D. to Results

09-01-2025 • 21 mins

In this episode, I share the story of a student who found newfound confidence and skills after a shared connection over football fandom and a meaningful classroom challenge.

Using this story as a springboard, we’ll explore strategies for creating student-centered learning experiences that foster trust, relationships, and personal growth. Together, we’ll discuss how adding a thoughtful challenge to instruction can inspire critical thinking, self-reflection, and curiosity.

Join me as we dive into the roots of teaching and uncover how these elements can transform a classroom into a thriving community of learners.
