He is a designer, educator and entrepreneur. He believes that entrepreneurship is so important and should be taught in schools. Particularly schools with diverse student populations.

Ms. G works as an assistant to Mr. LittleJohn. She is in charge of the "spark" questions when we enter the virtual space. She leads us in a discussion on a range of topics to get a conversation going and to facilitate more connection between the students. She then leads the class in a movement activity which usually consists of stretching or jumping around to boost our energy. Then, she helps Mr. LittleJohn as he teaches a lesson on entrepreneurship.
Movement and Mindfulness
Ms G leads us in movements, stretching, and physical activities to to get us into a creative and relaxed state of mind.

Within their roles each student has responsibility to perform the functions of that role.
