In this episode, we sit down with Sourcewell Educator Summit keynote speaker Thomas C. Murray to explore what it really means to keep learning personal, authentic, and rooted in strong relationships. Thomas shares practical ways to move from believing in student-centered learning to applying it through intentional design of experiences, spaces, and school culture. We also dig into what “Future Ready Schools” look like in practice—and how educators can create personalized learning at scale, even amid the realities of time, workload, and competing needs.
