January 25, 2021 041: Solo | Reimagining the Educational System Post-Pandemic
#RCLBeforeSEL. Welcome to our first Mindset Monday in 2021. Join me as I lay out all the exciting things we’re going to do as we grow the Relationship-centered Learning (RCL) approach in the education space.
As we slowly come out of this pandemic, we should consider the strategies that we implement in school to enable our students to learn better. Instead of simply re-opening the doors of education, we should re-imagine. Let’s all re-imagine an educational system wherein relationships with one another are at the center of learning. What does it look like for you?
