      About EduMatch Connect

      From the publisher's feed

      EduMatch Connect is our monthly live conversation where educators from the EduMatch community sit down together and talk through what's really happening in schools right now. Each episode is hosted by Desmond Hasty, our Community Director, with a small panel of educators, leaders, and authors who bring their own experience to the table. We've covered AI in the classroom, building a strong PLN, teacher wellbeing, and community in hybrid and remote schools, and there's a lot more coming.
