Carly shares her essential elements for an ideal learning environment: strong relationships and community connections, teachers as lifelong learners who use technology to enhance learning, and fostering a student growth mindset where mistakes are safe and celebrated. Discussing the conference’s four elements—Spark, Amplify, Flow, and Grounded—Carly selects Amplify, emphasizing student voice and choice and how technology can increase equitable access, including an example of using AI tutors to support AP students while she was on maternity leave. She reflects that what has stayed the same in teaching is the importance of relationships and holistic connections with students, while technology has expanded the tools available to personalize learning for both students and adult learners. The episode concludes with Carly’s advice for first-time conference attendees to make connections with the many experts in the room and an invitation to the UCET conference March 16–17 at the Salt Palace."}
