EP 162 Merri Bragg from Lightspeed tells Mike Ficara why the classroom may not sound like the one you grew up in

Merri Bragg from Lightspeed tells Mike Ficara why your classroom may not sound like the one you grew up in. 

I think we can all agree that classrooms are not nearly the same as they were when we were in school. Things are drastically changing compared to just five years ago. 

Check out this clip from THE START DOWN podcast where I had the pleasure of connecting with Merri Bragg. We discussed changes not only with what we are teaching the children but also the lack of funding and support for teachers through the pandemic. 

Comment below on the biggest changes you've noticed in schools now vs. then.
