Dr. Tom Toohey: Recognizing the Gifts of Every Child - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast S4 EP36

George Couros opens this episode with a reflection on the term “scholar.” Couros shares that while he understands the intention of lifting students, but struggles with how connected that term is to academics. This opening reflection connects nicely to the conversation Couros just had with Dr. Tom Toohey, the assistant superintendent of Edison Township Public Schools. Dr. Toohey shares some great strategies and ideas about elevating students. The two share the same mentality that every single student should walk out of a school knowing what their individual gifts are. Watch or listen to this episode for ideas to help students find their own pathway to success that is meaningful to them.
