In the episode:

-At its core, what does innovation mean to you?

-Hypothetical example here: An educator works in a school that has great test scores, relatively no behavior issues, and endless resources. Does a school like this need innovation? Why? Why not?

-You mentioned earlier to me about shifting your perspective from “everything happens to me” to “how can I rise above my circumstances.”

-How did you get to this kind of “innovative thinking?”

-And, how can others get there?

-Part of what I tell my students and colleagues all the time is “some people are going to love what you do, but some are going to doubt your abilities and hate on you for trying to change things.” What do your haters/doubters say?

-No one really knows what the future of education is going to look like, but should adults do TODAY/THIS SUMMER to prepare?
