How can we tackle declining student performance? After over a year of difficult transitions and decisions, Janet shares why we need to rethink and unlearn what schools have done in the past. Most people in our educational systems want to contribute to student success - it is our purpose. Using the book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant, Janet explains how we can question and challenge our current thinking to prepare students to perform at the highest levels.

This episode addresses questions, such as:

• Why is unlearning more important than intelligence?
• How can we improve student performance results? 
• What can we learn from scientists and apply to our practice to get the best results for students?
