About this episode

On today’s Learning Can't Wait Podcast, we revisit a conversation host Hayley Spira-Bauer has with Marlon Styles from the Learner-Centered Collaborative. Listen as Marlon describes his work designing meaningful learning experiences, where students are given a prominent seat at the table and placed firmly at the center.

Marlon and Hayley also discuss why representation matters, and Marlon shares how his grandmother's lessons on listening have influenced his work with learner-centered approaches.  Finally, we hear about how appreciating the joyful moments as an educator leads to more joy all around.

Next week we start Season 4 of the Learning Can’t Wait podcast!  Join us every Tuesday at podcast.learningcantwait.com.
