In 2019, Remake Learning and HundrED worked together to spotlight 12 organizations in the greater Pittsburgh region. Lasse Leponiemi, co-founder and executive director of HundrED, now joins us as part of “Tomorrow.”

Together, we’ll explore:

• How can schools learn? We help students to learn new things daily, but what kind of practices help schools as a whole to strive and get better?
• Are we obsessed with data? What is big data and small data – and do they help us anyway to understand student well-being?
• Why do innovations matter? We are often asked to be innovative when budgets are cut and things are difficult – how can we cope with the business language and find pedagogically sound solutions to make things better?
