Today we are joined by author Ted Dintersmith. Ted's LinkedIn profile reads "change agent" – and the changes he's focused on are at the intersection of "education, innovation, and democracy." He is the author of What Schools Could Be, which details the trip he took across the U.S. in 2016, visiting some 200 schools in all 50 states. Listen as he asks and answers his own question: "Is thinking about what's going on in schools nice or imperative?"
