Find out what he learned from three months on the road visiting 21 states, 64 schools, and the great ideas of 500 educators. Presented by Grant Lichtman, Author and Educational Consultant.

Since I still get the opportunity to work in my field, I try to absorb those experiences and incorporate it into my teaching. It's important that as educators we stay current. The world changes too quickly. It's easy to fall behind.

I also try my best to keep my students up to date using my experiences in the field. I feel very lucky to have access to these experiences and the audience to share them with.
