Nick and Nicole share real examples of "Being There" experiences, guest speakers, classroom transformations, and virtual experiences that spark students' natural pattern recognition abilities. Tune in to learn practical strategies for leveraging Phase A to drive deeper learning and engagement. This is part 2 of a two-part interview.
