We are joined by Dr. John Spencer for the first part of a two-part conversation about empowering students in our classrooms. In this episode, we dive into the topic of student empowerment by breaking down the book he cowrote with A.J. Juliani, Empower: What Happens When Students Own Their Learning. We explore strategies for helping students develop the key skills that they will need to be successful today as well as adaptable in the future.

Dr. Spencer says, “When people would say we need to prepare students for jobs that don’t exist yet, I kept thinking, well if we don’t know what those jobs are . . . maybe the best way to prepare students for the future is to empower them in the present.” Tune in to this episode to hear our full conversation.
