Key Takeaways:

• Student driven learning is key
• Teachers should attempt to fulfill the role of being a compass among us
• Ask and then emphasize why teachers got into teaching
• Only teachers care about standards not kids
• Use content as your playground when teaching
• Support student driven learning
• Help teachers with the work it takes is work it takes to connect different subjects because it's harder for them then students
• Gaining knowledge is not selfish if you share it
• Accepting an event as trauma makes you a victim
