Dr. Matthew Joseph - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq1h-aLBrxM Dr. Matthew Joseph shares how a teacher inspired him to write daily by differentiating the writing assignments required for the semester and allowing Dr. Joseph to keep a journal. This enjoyment of writing was inspired because the educator recognized the needs of the learner and empowered Dr. Joseph to take ownership of his own learning. Dr. Shaun V. Carey - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hBUAsQUebw George Couros asks Dr. Shaun V. Carey how he makes decisions that will ultimately do what is best for kids even when he knows he will get pushback.
