Team Awesome is a innovation group of educators across elementary, middle, and high who forged a bond over their passion for creating a high-quality system of resources and support so that more educators are prepared to Be There When it Counts for students "at-risk" for school failure. Team Awesome includes two school psychologists, a special education teacher, and Director of Virtual Education. Their work leads them into a rabbit hole of design work, cross-pollinating district departments, teacher-network building, technology exploration, and Disruptive Innovation......that works.
