Steph and Josh end the year with a new podcast name and an exploration of recalibration—both personal and professional. We’ll share insights on adapting, growing, and learning from experience while staying connected to our core mission of amplifying student voices and empowering creativity.

Join us as we define recalibration and talk about what it looks like in the classroom and beyond. We will also discuss how we’ve worked to make intentional adjustments to improve our practices and support others in their learning journeys as well.

During this podcast, we also touch on AI, shifts to make in 2024, and setting high expectations for students. Recalibration is key in all aspects of our lives as we look to make progress (not seek perfection).
