About this episode

Today on the Learning Can't Wait Podcast, host Hayley Spira-Bauer sits down with Michelle Newstadt and Barbara Hubert, Directors of Learning Design at BrainPop.  Hear about how both guests had non-linear paths toward education, and how a drive for equity and access landed them at BrainPop.

In this episode, we explore how BrainPop connects with kids, and look at why empathy for both teachers and students is at the core of what they do.  We also hear about why data is essential to tracking efficacy in education.

Join us every Monday at podcast.learningcantwait.com.  Next week, we talk to Marlon Styles from the Learner-Centered Collaborative.

Every child deserves the opportunity to access exceptional education.
