Episode 8 - Kevin Honeycutt - Outside the Classroom

Recorded live at the Hartley Outdoor Education Center during the Outside the Classroom Camp-Style Overnight PD Experience, this episode features a conversation with nationally recognized educator, speaker, storyteller, and self-described “unicorn protector” Kevin Honeycutt.What started as a discussion about karaoke and camp culture quickly turned into a deeper conversation about connection, creativity, belonging, and what makes great schools and great educators stand out.In this episode, we discuss:🦄 Protecting the “unicorns” in our schools and why creative and passionate students and educators deserve more than tolerance—they deserve support.🌲 The magic of camp-style professional learning and why stepping away from our daily routines can help us reconnect with the joy of learning.🏫 “Bend the system to match the kids instead of bending the kids to match the system” and what that mindset looks like in practice.💡 What gives Kevin hope about the future of education and the educators who continue to show up, learn, grow, and serve kids.A special thank you to everyone who helped make the Outside the Classroom experience possible, including:• Kevin Honeycutt• Mark Lyons• Saginaw ISD• REMC Association• Hartley Outdoor Education Center• Outside the Classroom• The organizers, presenters, volunteers, and staff who made this event possible🌐 Learn more about Kevin Honeycutt:https://www.kevinhoneycutt.org/
