Kevin Gant - Network Innovation

from Humble Badass Educators Hosted by Jeremy John Jensen

Today’s humble badass educator is Kevin Gant. Kevin is the Director of Network Innovation for New Tech Network, a nation-wide network of over 200 schools spanning Elementary, Middle and High schools that are working to transform teaching and learning. Previously, Kevin was a Teams Designer and School Development Coach for New Tech. Kevin has also worked at New Tech school Nex+Gen Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico as an integrated Math and Science teacher and later as a Teacher Coach. Kevin was recognized by President Obama as New Mexico’s 2015 recipient of the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. In our conversation, Kevin discusses some of the key elements that foster successful student-directed learning in Project-Based Learning (PBL) classrooms. He names some of the partnerships that he utilized in his own classrooms and how integrating with other subject areas through co-teaching enhanced a connected experience for his students. He talks about some of the ingredients that led Nex+Gen Academy to high levels of success and larger picture insights of what direction he would like to see our education system take. It is my opinion that Kevin Gant would make for a fantastic new Secretary of Education, so President Elect Biden, I hope you are listening to today’s episode of Humble Badass Educators.
