Erin & Rick got to meet and have a chat with Patrick Cook-Deegan. Patrick is a former teacher and the founder and CEO of Wayfinder, a K-12 SEL program. Patrick’s passion is working with students to identify and discover their purpose so they may truly thrive! He’s seen huge ripple effects by using SEL to support educators in establishing a healthy and thriving school culture. We take the journey from Wayfinders’ conception to what it’s become today, we talk purposeful learning to gain durable skills, and we explore the importance of belonging and purpose.
