This week on the show we discuss our brand new PD guide and Denver Public Schools' approach to PD, the launch of not one, but two new accelerators this week, and the controversy brewing over history role-playing game, Mission US. We also welcome EdSurge reporter Charley Locke as a podcast host for the first time.

Thanks as always to everyone listening! We're working on making the podcast more subscribe-able soon!
