2022 TEACH BETTER CONFERENCE

There have been dramatic shifts in education since schools first opened in the USA in 1647.

Though we haven’t fully capitalized on that opportunity yet, our time is coming. It involves a shift in mindset that allows ourselves to be more creative, compassionate, and critical. And it all boils down to just two words: Hip Hop.
