12 - Marisa Thompson Embraces the Messy

In this episode, Shannon talks with instructional coach, presenter, and classroom teacher, Marisa Thompson. Marisa resides in California and is famous for supporting teachers with her TQE method and other strategies that put students at the center of learning and teachers with real-time data rather than loads of marking.   Before the conversation, Shannon shares a special extra long opening with a strategy that will help you build in twenty-first-century skills into any course, any unit, and any lesson.
