KSTA's 2021 Outstanding Elementary Science Teacher Shad Lacefield is featured in this episode of Science Connections: The Podcast from Amplify.

“It’s about being engaged with your students and figuring out what are they liking. Every year it’s going to be different…when you have conversations and you build relationships with your kids.”

In this episode, Shad and I tackled the following questions:

• How can educators build meaningful relationships with their students?
• Has classroom engagement shifted after remote learning?
• What can educators do to cultivate the love of learning science content?
