Medfield's Design Your Learning Day
#Whats Your D?
Calling Fellow Educators
Passion Pitches🔥
As a way to shake up #DLDMedfield2019, we have six educators who are influential, passionate, and demonstrate great leadership and innovation lined up to kick off and end our day by delivering their “Passion Pitches.” Similar to an ignite talk or TedTalk, these “Passion Pitches” will be approximately 10 minutes and focus on something that they are truly passionate about that will entertain and inspire our audience.
For more info on the Passion Pitches, follow...
