Show Highlights
- Setting clear values on how you function as an educational team requires reorienting structure toward impact for students in the education space, not what's easiest.
- Incorporating voices from different angles of innovation drives meaningful change around a collective purpose to build community and support.
- Logitech's interactive tools to avoid complacency, increase student voice, and alleviate stress in the classroom.
- The need to pivot from unrealistic assumptions pertaining to classrooms is needed to find balance in discovering true knowledge and abilities within your learning community.
- Arm your staff with the right knowledge of what is truly a classroom.
- You need this "North Star" to drive impact that takes many different routes.
- Why is teaching infinitely harder than being a doctor?
"Sometimes it's hard to really stand your ground where maybe it's cheaper, maybe it's faster, or we need to hit a certain timeline. I've learned my personal Northstar is just as important as having team values. I can stay really focused when there are those decisions to make, when the impact in the classroom is against the corporate need to be within a certain budget or timeline."
