Today’s special edition episode of SparkChasers Season 2 was recorded on location at the 2015 Annual ASCD Conference and Exhibition Show in Houston, TX back in March. Greg and I share with you some insights about the conference, who we connected with from around the world (so many people were there!), and an overview from our presentation on Turning the Flywheel of Innovation.
You’ll hear about the fun icebreaker activity that we did that made a lasting impression on several attendees, as well as some of the big insights that we discovered about how most leaders are approaching innovation that needs to stop right now if we want creativity to flourish. And while it was rainy, we had a great view of the city from our location:
Look at how spread out the city is – it just keeps going on and on. With that spirit…”on” with the episode!

About the podcast
The Art Works for Teachers Podcast helps teachers crack the code of creativity and use it as a hidden advantage in the classroom. Each week, we’ll use “creative clues” from authors, artists, and teachers to unlock the power of the arts and where it can take us in education today.
