Honoring the Teacher and Learner in All of Us Join us for an engaging EDTalks conversation about the innovative ways we teach and learn outside of the traditional classroom setting. Our presenters include: • Beverly Cottman, who tells stories, myths and folktales rooted in African and African-American traditions. Beverly uses storytelling as a powerful tool to transform lives, pass on values, instill pride, evoke self-love and celebrate culture. She developed her expertise as a storyteller during 30 years as an educator in Minneapolis Public Schools and 15 years as a grandmother.  • Lindsay Walz, founder and Executive Director of courageous heARTS, who will help us discover our roles as community teachers and learners. Lindsay's experience as a youth worker has been strengthened by her lived experience of trauma. She uses this experience to shine light on the prevalence and impact of trauma in our everyday lives.
