Happy holidays to our EdTalks listeners. While we are on a brief winter break, we thought that a terrific way to send 2025 off in style would be to rebroadcast our conversation with the 2025-26 Greenville County Schools Teacher of the Year, Morgan Smith. We hope that you carry some of Morgan's passion and positivity into the new year and beyond.
