Listen Later

Often times teachers want to do what is comfortable for them, but what if the best way to help your students was to step out of your comfort zone and teach differently? Listen in as Robert Barnett tells his story about how he shifted his teaching style and stepped out of the norm for his students.
Quotables
** All quotes are by the interviewee **
  • "Learning should feel good. Students should build self esteem to build confidence when they learn something new."

    • "Every child deserves an excellent education no matter who they are or what their background is. "
    • “The more I got away from this sort of one lesson at a time approach, the more I just appreciated the incredible diversity of talent, interest, and potential that students bring to class. ”

      About Robert Barnett
