Listen Later

“When we were growing up, having good grades wasn't cool. What we're trying to do is make it cool today,” says David Wyatt about his commitment to driving educational change through his work with the South Carolina Football Hall of Fame and the South Carolina Top 10 by 2030 initiative.

A seasoned attorney, advisor, and community leader in South Carolina, Wyatt joins All For Literacy host Dr. Liz Brooke for Season 3, Episode 5, which was recorded live during The Reading League 2024 Conference. Wyatt and Brooke discuss empowering youth, making learning cool, and how educators can partner with community organizations to make change happen in their classrooms and districts. 

Wyatt shares how he’s used the powerful influence of sports in his community to increase educational excellence and career readiness among students in his home state:
