Learning, for Truth and Love
Podcast Description
The main goal of this podcast is to bridge research and practice. Many are frustrated by student disengagement, classroom challenges, and mental health issues. We must attend to engagement and have real solutions now for the mental health and well-being of our students, educators, and parents. This show provides insights into learning from various perspectives that attend to issues in our society. As a researcher and educator, I use my experiences to provide insights into educating students. This includes but is not limited to specific classroom exemplars, pedagogy, and so on.
