This week on That's SO EDVOLUTIONARY, Annie opens with a powerful story and Ali pulls out a history lesson to help us understand how we got to where we are in education. Big questions are asked and the building of a new roadmap begins.
Inspired by Seth Godin's podcast episode, "Stop Stealing Dreams" Annie and Ali discuss:
-What was school for at it's inception?
- What do parents, educators and kids think school should be for now?
- What are we currently acting like school is for?
- How can we start to change the parts of what we are doing that don't align with our values?
