Hitting the Reset Button for 2022
December 28, 2021
reset button 2022

So many of us said goodbye to 2020 with starry-eyed hope for 2021…only to feel a sucker-punch at all that this year has offered up to us. I’ve felt the same way in many aspects.

But while 2021 wasn’t the year we had hoped, I choose to look at the positives. I want to take learnings from this year and grow from them in the new year. Hit a reset button, if you will.

This week on the podcast, I’m reflecting on four big bright spots of 2021 that have impacted society on a global scale. And I’m sharing my own three big lessons from the year. Some of these lessons we’ve already put into action at my micro-school, LEADPrep, and I’m sharing what that looks like.

I hope you’ll listen to this positive message and take some of the bright spots and learnings to heart, too!

What Do You Want from Education with Lainie Liberti

A question we don’t ask enough is what we want from education. Of course we all want well-rounded young adults when they’re done with school, people who can become productive members of our society and who also have a healthy worldview. But our schools are not...

Why Isn’t Educational Change Happening?

School change is so much harder than I thought! When I did my doctoral research on school innovation and created a hands-on learning school-within-a-school in the 90s, I had no idea that I’d spend the next few decades making tiny changes. Changes that often...
