I believe that choosing to pursue a career in education is a choice that is rooted in the ultimate goal of helping others and creating lasting impact and change.  2018 Pennsylvania teacher of the Year, Mike Soskil, acknowledges his original jump into the education world came from a desire to coach soccer, but since then he has gone from a self-proclaimed mediocre teacher to an international speaker, author, leader, and positive change agent.  On this episode Mike dives into how he uses community needs to drive learning and engagement in his classroom, how teachers can begin to own their leadership potential, and how his new book “Flip the System U.S.” challenges the structure of the educational system in the United States and how we can begin to change it for the better.
