A Tale of Two Learners
Description:
This is the story of two learners—a young man from Alabama who was good at the “game of school;” yet felt empty and disengaged. And, a young Iowan for whom school was a constant maddening struggle. At two ends of the “success” spectrum, neither was happy. Yet, through their unique journeys, they each discovered a new path that changed everything: learner-centered education. Join these young leaders to hear how they found their voices—and united to change the future of education for all learners.
