Derek Mitchell Shares Insights on Teaching the World to Change on “Coffee & Change” Podcast with Bill Kirst
How important have teachers been to changing your world as a child? When you were a student? As you are now as an engaged community member and/or parent? Partners in School Innovation CEO Derek Mitchell shared the following recently:
“Frankly, teachers are everywhere where we need things to improve…They spend a good amount of their time in the community where the need is greatest. They’re a tremendous source of knowledge about need, a tremendous source of connection to families and community if we leverage them that way.”
