Episode Summary: In this bonus episode of the Learner-Centered Spaces podcast, host Starr Sackstein and Crystal Frommert interview Nick. They discuss the importance of building relationships in a learner-centered space and how to create a more student-focused assessment approach. Nick also shares his recommendations for educators looking to incorporate more learner-centered practices in their classrooms.

• Building strong relationships with students and their families is essential in creating a learner-centered space. Getting to know students on a personal level, understanding their interests and motivations, and involving families in the learning process can greatly enhance the classroom environment.
• Moving away from traditional grading practices and focusing more on formative assessment and feedback can lead to more meaningful and effective learning experiences. Using a scale of 1 to 4, emphasizing growth and progress, and providing opportunities for self-reflection can help students take ownership of their learning.
• Embracing a mindset of curiosity and finding math in everyday situations can make math more engaging and enjoyable for students. Encouraging students to ask questions, explore real-world problems, and see math as a tool for understanding the world around them can foster a love for the subject.

Welcome to the 100th episode of the Ready, Set, Growth podcast! It's a momentous occasion, not just because we've hit a triple-digit milestone, but also because we're celebrating with a unique and insightful conversation.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing two very special guests: my student Ben, and his father, Jeff. They were the lucky winners of a silent auction that supported our grade nine group, and their presence on the show offered a fresh perspective on education from both a student and a parent's viewpoint.
