In this episode I chat with Darcy Baakegard, an innovative professional development & tech integration coach with a fascinating background teaching theater, dance, and English internationally. She is also a soon to be published co-author of, The Startup Teacher Playbook. I loved our conversation about interactive teaching strategies, this time of rapid change, and professional development strategies and tools that educators can use to think like start-up entrepreneurs and make innovation a reality. She is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration and you will love hearing what she has to say!
