Listen to our second LIVE IDEAcon featuring IL educator, Carrie Baughcum, and Featured Speaker, Jed Dearybury, who returns to the Growth Over Grades Podcast.

Carrie Baughcum has been an educator for 26 years and specializes in teaching students with IEPs. Her new session was about helping create a strong foundation for educators to help them throughout their careers. She has her own Doodle & Chat YouTube Series with Dr. Mandy Tolen, and shares her take on creativity in the classroom.

Jed Dearybury started his education career in 2001. He was an early childhood teacher until 2010 and now focuses on Professional Development and teaching Higher Education to future teachers. He shares about his new sessions on "Destroying The Box" and how creativity and play can change our classroom learning and culture.

We are three friends who have embraced creativity in the classroom and enjoy sharing our experiences. We hope you will be inspired and find a way to add more creativity and play to your teaching and learning experiences. Sometimes it's about modeling this through discomfort and inviting our students to do the same.
