Adam Welcome Revisited

Several months ago we were fortunate to sit down with Adam Welcome for a discussion about leadership, culture, and improving instruction. The audio quality on our original recording was less than perfect, to say the least. With production assistance from the Learning Technology Center of Illinois, we were able to reduce some of the distractions to help make the episode a little easier on the ear. We hope you enjoy this look back on our talk with Mr. Adam Welcome.

We would also like to encourage you to check out the soon-to-be-released book that he has co-authored with our friend Rae Hughart (@raehughart), entitled Teachers Deserve It!

One last thing: We’d really appreciate it if you’d take a moment to give us a rating and a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your input helps us improve our podcast and helps spread the word about our show.
