In the first of two episodes in our Building Construction program, we talk with Robbie Sharpe, the program director. Robbie talks about how he brings everybody in his complex classes on board, getting buy-in from the start. 

Robbie is the definition of a lifelong learner and uses many techniques to help his students learn and therefore succeed. Many of these are based on relational learning, creating connection between himself and between learners. We talk about Robbie’s own learning practice and how he offers his students many opportunities to achieve deep learning of crucial knowledge and skills. 

We talk house construction, mistakes, math, and knitting!
