Series 9 Episode 8: Transformative Learning - Glenn Whitman

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this penultimate conversation of Series Nine, we talk with Glenn Whitman. Glenn is a History teacher at St. Andrew’s where he is also the Executive Director for the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning. He is the co-author of Neuroteach: Brain Science and the Future of Education and co-designer of Neuroteach Global. Glenn loves the challenge and opportunity to help students, teachers, schools, and districts translate the most promising research and strategies in how the brain learns to their practice or programs. He is driven to meet the CTTL's vision--A world where every teacher understands how every student's brain learns--through the CTTL's Bridge and contributions to Edutopia and EdSurge in addition to presentations and workshops at public, private, and international school conferences world-wide. When not thinking about the student and adult learning brain, Glenn can be found working on his own brain by listening to Bruce Springsteen or playing a round of golf.
