She co-founded The Agile Mind to build collaboration, connection, and communication in classrooms across the world. She has always been an early adopter of techniques that will bring more student agency and active learning in the classroom.  Jessica is passionate about pushing education to evolve to meet the needs of today's students.

He spends his time helping educators, administrators and board members bring more adaptable and visible ways of working into their schools –from the classroom to the boardroom– so they can enjoy less stress, more learning and a more energetic, productive experience of their working life.  He also is an organizational agility coach. Outside of work, you’ll find him riding a bike, skiing, reading or eating stinky cheeses, but never at the same time.The Disrupt Education Podcast is a proud member of The EdUp Experience Podcast Network#rebelteachernetworkCheck out our sponsors beloweLearning PartnersNeed help starting your eLearning courses or training?
