What can we do better for the future of education (with Charles Williams) - a podcast by Elena Agaragimova

In this episode of Shift - Getting out of your comfort zone! - I sit down with Charles Williams - educator with a mission to change the way we educate our youth & prepare them for the future of work. We chat about importance of social and emotional skills at an early age, about importance of making connections with students and teachers at the schools as a leader, and what the future of education might look like.
