Is the role of the educator to impart knowledge or something more? In this episode, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Lauren Pinto, and Komal Shah deconstruct the role of the educator, and how to define it for the future within our school system. We take a closer look at the Encyclopedia definition of an educator, and how this outdated definition is still evident in K-12 schools. In our conversation, we find ourselves debating what is "truly" the role of the educator, whether as a guide, a facilitator, a knowledge expert, or something more.
