In this episode, I chat with Gerardo Martinez, Executive Director of Educational Technology for Westminster School District, about what educators can learn from the field of architecture when designing meaningful learning experiences.

Gerardo shares how his journey from architecture to education shaped his thinking about instructional design and the role of physical learning environments. We also explore his innovative i4 teacher leadership program, why inspiration must precede innovation, and how districts can cultivate cultures in which teachers feel empowered to experiment and grow.

Finally, we discuss how AI is reshaping the design process and why the teacher's highest-value work has never been delivering information, but designing learning experiences that foster curiosity, agency, and deep understanding.
