Summary
Where my educators at y'all? Where my parents at, where my aunts and uncles and grandparents and siblings and anyone who has kids, works with kids, or just cares about the future of this world (soon to be run by these kids as they grow up)? Today we sit down with Wade and Hope King, a married couple who just so happen to be rock star teachers, speakers, and leaders about how to reach kids where they're at. If you're ready to get fired up about how to transform your school, give back to an educator who has had a major impact on your life, or how best to support your child through their educational journey, this is the podcast for you (oh yeah, and we talk about Fortnite, so if you're listening with your kids in the car, you're welcome).
You can learn more about Wade and Hope, their books, subscriptions, and conferences, by visiting their website.
