Let Student Curiosity Lead with Kevin J. Butler (Part 6)

We’ve made it to Part 6 of our Teacher-Tested Hacks for Smarter Days launch series—and we’re closing strong with educator, author, and coach Kevin J. Butler.

Kevin’s strategy? Use student questions as the blueprint for building better units.

In this final episode, Rae dives into Kevin’s clip and the brilliance behind centering instruction on what students are actually wondering. She reflects on the moments curiosity transformed her classroom—and how agency isn't a buzzword, it’s a blueprint.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by the pacing guide or stuck teaching content students couldn’t care less about, this one’s for you.

And remember: Kevin is just one of 30+ educators featured in this course. Short clips. Real strategies. Ready when you are.
