Book Love Podcast

We are Patton Proud of 8th grade teacher Brian Kelley who was interviewed by teacher, author, and advocate, Penny Kittle, on her Book Love podcast. In it, Mr. Kelley had the opportunity to share a story about the impact of student choice in his classroom. His segment begins at the 12:20 mark and only runs for a few minutes.
