Dave Burgess Chats About His Teach Like A Pirate Movement And What Outrageous Teaching Looks Like

It is not everyday that I get a chance to interview a pirate, especially an “edu” pirate like Dave Burgess, my guest dave-burgess-headshot (1)today.
Dave is from the US and is on a mission to inspire outrageous teaching that creates life changing lessons and growth of the student spirit. He does this through presentations, his book and his publishing company.
We talk today about what his movement looks like in and outside of the classroom, how any of us can change our teaching methods and the future of teaching like a pirate.
