We kick off Season 4 of Highest Aspirations featuring a conversation Ellevation co-founders Teddy Rice and Jordan Meranus. Jordan and Teddy talk about how Ellevation’s origin story is directly connected to an EL teacher working to maximize impact on her students, what organizations like ours need to be doing to keep current happening in school districts across the country, and what you can expect from Ellevation in the near future. 

During our conversation, Teddy and Jordan reference the following books:

• Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson (Also his books on Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein)
• The Innovator's Dilemma, by Clayton M. Christensen
• Savage Inequalities, by Jonathon Kozol
• The Four Steps to the Epiphany, by Steve Blank
