Restoring Childhood with Wren Goedken

Join Kosta and his guest: Wren Goedken, STEM Teacher at Algood Middle School and organizer for the Restoring Childhood Initiative.  Restoring Childhood is a grassroots movement of parents, educators, and community leaders who want to help kids reclaim play, creativity, connection, and freedom by intentionally reducing screen time and sparking meaningful change in how we think about childhood. Restoring Childhood is a non-partisan, community-driven initiative open to everyone who cares about kids and wants to see them thrive. In this episode: What makes Restoring Childhood different from other child enrichment or education programs? Do you think it can change the culture of how children learn and play in the Upper Cumberland? What can children and parents alike expect from events hosted by Restoring Childhood? Whether it’s a book study or unstructured play time, what should we know? A lot changes over 30 years, and as a teacher I can only imagine the changes you’ve seen. In your opinion what’s changed the most since you started teaching?
