Ep #17: School's out for Summer

We wrap season one with honest end-of-year reflections, from what we wish we knew in August to the surprises that changed our classrooms and our tech plans. We share what we are building over the summer and end with a short, joyful conversation with two preschoolers about what makes school feel special. • noticing how the building changes when a grade level leaves • taking a breath and letting go of what we cannot control • practicing saying no and pacing big projects across the year • the unexpected shift to MacBook Neos for incoming freshmen • how classroom furniture and space can affect engagement • summer plans including an Apple Learning Coach certificate and tech help videos • redesigning transition meetings using SEL data and early benchmark data • inviting listener suggestions for topics, programs, and guests Reach out on social media.
