In this first episode of the InnovatEngage podcast, Gabriel and Lauren have a conversation with dynamic middle school reading teacher/ITS duo Nicole Flood and Michelle Haider. Because of their long standing relationship, collaboration comes easily to these two...but it wasn’t always that way! Tune in to hear about how they kicked off the 2019-2020 school year with “Draw My Life”, a new and engaging lesson collaboration that focused on the writing process and various SEL components all while helping Nicole get to understand her students better. We also chat about all things collaboration, troubleshooting, and engaging a new generation of students - you’re in for a treat!
