And science educator Dan Gallagher takes us into the ordinary school day that turned out to be extraordinary. Gallagher won the Milken Educator Award in a surprise school assembly.

He joins Gina Benz and Jackie Wilber on our Teacher Talk panel to talk about his education career so far and how he tries to show up for students (16:07 to 48:56).
