“First, I want to acknowledge the work you're putting into the world. It matters and its message deserves to be heard” (Tal Gur, 2026).
Thank you, Tal Gur and Elevate Society, for acknowledging this work. We are very grateful.
We ARE HONORED TO SHARE THAT THE WHEELHOUSE WAS RECENTLY FEATURED IN A REVIEW BY ELEVATE SOCIETY.
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that the review captured something that has guided every conversation we've had from the beginning: The future of education is not simply about innovation. It's about humanity.
Over the past several seasons, we've had the privilege of engaging with educators, leaders, researchers, students, and change makers who continue to challenge us to think differently about schools and leadership, and what it truly means to create schools rooted in humanity.
The review highlights The Wheelhouse's commitment to exploring educational transformation through the lenses of dignity, belonging, agency, and hope—values that sit at the heart of the Students Matter, LLC. ecosystem.
Students Matter is deeply honored, grateful and humbled for this work to be recognized by Tal Gur, the founder of Elevate Society. We especially appreciated his comment about why you should listen to this podcast, "The Wheelhouse offers more than educational commentary; it provides a compelling framework for rethinking how schools can better serve students and communities. Listeners gain access to experienced voices, practical insights, and thought-provoking ideas that encourage meaningful change. Whether you are leading a school, teaching in a classroom, or simply interested in the future of education, the podcast offers inspiration and guidance for creating learning environments where every student has the opportunity to succeed and thrive."

This recognition belongs to all of you.
