Incorporating voices from different angles of innovation drives meaningful change around a collective purpose to build community and support.  Logitech’s interactive tools to avoid complacency, increase student voice, and alleviate stress in the classroom. The need to pivot from unrealistic assumptions pertaining to classrooms is needed to find balance in discovering true knowledge and abilities within your learning community. Arm your staff with the right knowledge of what is truly a classroom.  You need this “North Star” to drive impact that takes many different routes.  Why is teaching infinitely harder than being a doctor? “Sometimes it's hard to really stand your ground where maybe it's cheaper, maybe it's faster, or we need to hit a certain timeline.  I've learned my personal Northstar is just as important as having team values. I can stay really focused when there are those decisions to make, when the impact in the classroom is against the corporate need to be within a certain budget or timeline.” -Maddie Mortimore Maddie Mortimore’s Resources & Contact Info: Linkedin ​​Logitech for Education website  Education Center page   Read my latest book!
