Unfortunately, it's rare to find a kid who goes through school and emerges more curious, passionate, and engaged in their learning than they started with. Sometimes it feels like an inevitable result. But does it have to be that way?

This week, we're excited to introduce you to Karen Elaine Rogers, an innovative educator who is hyper-focused on helping kids come alive through learning.
