Welcome to Roots L.E.A.D. to Results—a weekly podcast that brings soul-deep encouragement to educators who are tired of surviving and ready to serve from a place of alignment, clarity, and conviction.
I’m Lisa Karosas—science teacher, curriculum designer, and believer that classrooms change when teachers are rooted.
This podcast is my own accountability check-in: a chance to slow down, reflect on the bigger picture, and disciple through my daily work right alongside you.
Each week follows a simple rhythm—L.E.A.D.—
-
L: Let Go & Lead Yourself
-
E: Establish Rhythms that Sustain You
-
A: Align with What Actually Matters
-
D: Disciple Through Your Daily Work
Through scripture, storytelling, and reflections on the realities of teaching, this podcast will help you reconnect with your calling, rediscover your voice, and refocus your energy on what matters most—not just in your classroom, but in your life.
Whether you're a science teacher or not, if you're craving grounded leadership, grace-filled persistence, and a reminder that you're not alone—you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow the roots that lead to lasting results.

Technology is a cornerstone of student-centered learning in science in our modern society.
In this episode, I’ll give you some examples of which technology I love for my own student-centered science classroom, but this isn't going to be an episode focused on examples of technologies that work or those that may be among the best. In fact, there's no way any one person could possibly share that information because because there are just so many choices out there!!! Each and every day, I swear I discover yet another amazing tool I’d love to try, and they all have a unique and focused purpose.
So, I'd rather spend my time with you today -- and your oh-so-precious time! -- describing five ways that the integration of technology, in general, is going to leverage your attempts to create a more student-centered classroom environment. And, guess what? These five ways span every aspect of your job as a teacher, from content area expert to social-emotional support and family-connection-extraordinaire!
