Summary

In this podcast episode, my cohost, Steve Miletto, of the "Teaching, Learning, Leading K12" podcast, and I talk with Elizabethton, TN High School teachers Daniel Proffitt, Jason Clevinger, and Patrick Roberts. Elizabethton is an XQ Super School with a mission to build a culture for learners to think and act as changemakers.

This episode discusses how the school actualizes this mission at the individual student level through its curriculum, school activities, and professional development. The school advocates for student agency, giving students a voice and choice in what and how they want to learn and promotes curiosity as a core determinant of academic achievement.

The episode also explores how faculty members in traditional core subjects such as Math, English, Science, and History encourage curiosity.
