Brian Straka from New West Charter Hybrid Learning School shares the importance of connection in education. Students must feel connected on a deeper level for learning to take place. He gives unique and fun examples of activities from when he was a History Teacher and now as a Principal. I found this episode to be a refreshing change of pace and know that you will as well.
