In this episode, I’m joined by Kathryn Laster while at the Georgia Educational Technology Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. We’ve been connected and have crossed paths at various conferences but never formally met until GaETC 2024. She’s served in various roles in education such as a math teacher, Instructional Technology Coach, and Digital Learning Consultant. She’s passionate about building professional development and professional learning. We discuss the difference between the two and then…the conversation comes full circle! Tisha Poncio joins us at the table because Tisha was a teacher in one of Kathryn’s cohorts years ago. These two take us through the journey and Tisha lets us know how much of a pivotal role Kathryn played in her educational journey. This is such a special episode for these two that you have to hear for yourself. While listening to this, think about who has made an impact on your own educational journey and what you’d like to say to them. Buen provecho!
