After the assembly, Milken Educator Awards Founder Lowell Milken joins recipient Rory Inouye back in the classroom to continue today's math lessons. A master in student-led learning, encouraging collaboration and higher-order thinking, Rory's classroom is a destination for observation by other schools and leaders. He emphasizes presenting a safe space for students to think critically and creatively while discovering how math applies to their lives beyond the classroom.
“Only when society demonstrates respect for educators will the brightest and most capable students choose it as their profession.” - Lowell Milken
