It's just so unique," gushed the 14-year-old ninth grader at Tara High. "I love how it's just ones and zeros. I love just talking in binary messages. I set up an entire alphabet."

In order to fully support teachers as they mold students into tomorrow's innovators, school leaders must create schools that empower teachers to grow and have meaningful collaboration, according to a new report from 100Kin10.
