I've been listening to StartEd Up since pretty early on. It's a great show! I love the "disruptive discourse" that takes place. Don does a great job creating conversations about what's done in traditional classrooms and schools from the lens of what students will need in...Read full review »

I enjoy the 'crucial conversations' Friday show as well as Don's quick Monday Motivation episodes. They've got great guests from not only the education space but often from the entrepreneur space as well.Read full review »

Fire years ago I bumped across StartED Up and Don Wettrick while researching innovation in Schools and it has become my go to podcast for developing my classes and professional development. Always up to date and relevant topics. 👍 from Norway

Appreciate your devotion to student education and growth!

What a great podcast. Don interviews innovators and forward thinkers, people you need to know more about. My students enjoy listening and learning about open source learning. You need to listen.
cornyhead66 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/18
I wish Don used more inclusive language. His questions aren’t as deep as other interviewers and you can find his guests on other programs. While I like that he’s talking about new approaches in education, I don’t need to hear about “the erection he gets” with some of these new ideas. It’s a shame...Read full review »

I’ve been listening for a few months and I always end up with something new to think about adding to my teaching practice. Interesting guests with various takes on life and education make this a must listen.

Don is the encouragement educators need to take risks.
ZacharyBorgman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/18
I mostly love the ideas in this podcast. It’s encouraging to hear ways other educators are encouraging students to be innovative. I think this is missing a critical perspective. It seems these ideas propose to students that America is a meritocracy. I’d also like to hear more that is about ways...Read full review »

First head about StartEdUp podcast during the 2017 DitchSummit. I can’t get enough of this podcast. Listened to the one with J Acuff this morning. Put ‘Finish’ on my must read list of books. Thanks for such great podcasts. Please keep them coming!

Just listened to Ep. 128 with Dave Burgess -- big take aways. If we as teachers are doing truly disruptive innovate work with Ss then it is our "moral imperative to share it if it will help others", AND it is our moral imperative "to get good @ sharing and lear what we need to learn...Read full review »

The Dave Burgess interview brought me here, fantastic piece of work. My biggest take away was about making sure you are part of an online community, sharing, and the reciprocity that comes with this type of engagement.
Medffssff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/17
This pod gives me inspiration every time I listen. If you want to push students to be creators rather than consumers, thinkers rather than followers, trailblazers instead of settling...this is the podcast for you!

This is by far my favorite podcast. I love the passion Don brings to his classroom, but also to a stage.

Phenomenal!!! Dave Burgess’ energy and passion for education in the Disrupt Like a Pirate episode on Start Ed Up was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing Dave’s message.
Teach Like a Boss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/17
Don continues to deliver a podcast that is pure genius. His latest interview with disruptor Dave Burgess tells a story of how educators can and should spread their message so we all can get better together for kids. Thank you Don and Dave for this latest episode.

I had Don as an instructor during his first year at Noblesville and his ideology and perspective literally changed the course of my life. Don is teaching the future of education and the impact is incredible. If you’re not already a listener you best subscribe and sit tight. Great work Keep it up!
