113: A.J. Juliani

In this episode I am speaking with A.J. Juliani. Here is his bio from his website:

I am a lucky husband and father to four amazing kids. I currently work as the Director of Learning and Innovation at Centennial School District (PA), and I am Faculty at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (PLN). I previously worked as an Education and Technology Innovation Specialist at Upper Perkiomen School District, as well as a K-12 Technology Staff Developer overseeing a 1:1 initiative, a middle school ELA teachers, and a high school English teacher (as well as a football and lacrosse coach).

More importantly, I’m someone who truly believes in the “inquiry-driven” education movement. I have four kids of my own, and I want them to grow up in a world that values their ideas. This blog and site serve as a place where I can share ideas and thoughts around “Intentional Innovation” and the future of learning.
