Today's episode is (appropriately) a collaboration between Lemonade Learning and Focus on K-12. Lainie Rowell and Brianna Hodges join me as we discuss collaboration. Adults are expected to collaborate on almost everything they do at work, but unless it's specifically noted on an assignment that students should collaborate, it's considered cheating when they do. We also touch on a few other elements of collaboration along the way- let's dive in! Thanks for joining us today on Focus on K-12, EdTech

When things get busy in a school district, it's easy to reduce your work to checklists on a Post-It, canary yellow legal pad, or the latest to-do list app. In this episode, I talk to Dr. Neil Gupta, Director of Secondary Education for Worthington Schools in Ohio, about the importance of continuing to build experiences for our students and staff rather than settling for checkboxes.

In education, our curriculum rarely keeps up with shifts in the market, the economy, and other forces that shape the world we live in. While not all of our students are planning on starting a business, many can benefit from teaching and learning around the skills that are sometimes relegated to an entrepreneurship curriculum: defining and solving a problem, confidence and clarity of communication, and so much more.
