My guest today is Blake VandeBunte.  Blake is a School Development Coach for New Tech Network, a national network of innovative schools.  Previously, Blake was a principal at a New Tech school in California and also taught English and Social Studies at a variety of schools.

In our conversation, Blake discusses how he takes a listening approach to his work with schools and really models being a facilitator rather than a disseminator of knowledge and information for the various schools he works with.  He discusses some of the challenges and opportunities that 2020 has presented to his school and why New Tech is such a great fit for him personally.
