Episode 34: Rethinking Education: Unmasking Failures and Embracing Innovation with Dr. Chris Bagley
Episode 34
Can schooling really meet the unique needs of every learner? What happens when the system that's supposed to educate us all, falls short? As your host, Dr. Olivia Kessel, I'm rolling up my sleeves with Dr. Chris Bagley to dissect the challenges with a cookie-cutter education system. Bagley, renowned for his expertise in educational transformation, helps us unmask the stark realities of a system designed to fail a third of its students.
We'll not only question the status quo, but also reimagine the possibilities. Do you know the origins of our modern schooling system? It's time to embark on a temporal journey that uncovers how elitism and the veneration of specific historical figures have shaped our approach to education. But it's not all gloom; we'll also spotlight transformative work being done by educational innovators.
We're going beyond just criticizing the system. We explore the paradox that teachers face, the rising trend of home schooling, and the potential for change. It's about understanding the system, questioning it, and adopting innovative approaches to make it work for everyone. So, join us as we initiate this crucial conversation about overhauling an outdated system and nurturing an educational landscape that truly serves all students. It's time to flip the script on education – are you ready?
