I presented earlier this year at the Big Ideas Fest in California on the idea of teacherpreneurship, a concept I helped to develop in co-authoring the book, Teaching 2030 and one that is gaining some momentum these days. The video of that presentation is forthcoming.
Until then, here is a teaser video about this year’s fest that can serve as proof that I was there…
While at the conference I was interviewed by KQED. A clip of that interview, in which I talk about the need for a teacher career track is posted here on Mindshift. And you can watch it right here (amusing opening frame…):
