Today, Maria shines the light on the change in education that often occurs unnoticed through initiatives teachers lead in their classrooms. She shares the stories of three high school teachers who teach different subjects from history to English, physics and chemistry but do have one thing in common: They want to help their students build skills that are rarely developed through the traditional curriculum, or they are developed in ways that students don’t find engaging. Under their respective circumstances and in their own ways, these three teachers decided to lead initiatives and create new experiences for their students. In doing so, they expanded or replaced the standard curriculum in their classrooms. Listen to these inspiring stories and Maria’s reflections to help you make education better, one classroom at a time.   Listen to this episode and explore:How teachers’ initiatives help high school students build skills rarely developed in the classroom (0:30)How Matt identified a different approach to motivate students to learn to write by becoming bloggers (2:20)How Howard taught his students financial skills to help them avoid making the mistakes he did  (7:20)How Dennis started a school newspaper to help his students develop media literacy skills and find their voice.
