What if the key to unlocking student potential lies in transforming traditional teaching methods? We explore this question with the innovator, Lauran Kerr-Heraly, Ph.D., from Houston Community College, who is revolutionizing classrooms through active learning, Project Based Learning (PBL), and gamification. Lauran shares her approaches that bring history to life, illustrating how smaller class sizes at her college provide the perfect environment for creative experimentation. Her techniques, including turning a classroom into an escape room, aim to inspire curiosity and prepare students for real-world challenges by enhancing critical thinking and teamwork.
Tune in as we dissect the pivotal role of executive function skills in education and how the pandemic has magnified their importance. We debunk myths about students naturally mastering skills like time management and focus by the time they reach college. Instead, we emphasize the necessity of intentionally teaching these skills through PBL. This episode explains how breaking down tasks and understanding motivation can empower students to conquer academic and professional hurdles.
Join us as we champion the power of partnerships and community in education. By gradually reducing the support students need, educators can cultivate a sense of ownership and self-sufficiency in learners. Lauran shares an inspiring success story of a student who thrived through a personalized oral history project, underscoring the transformative impact of individualized education.

Join us for an eye-opening episode where Jared and Jen, the dynamic co-founders of Forget the Rankings, challenge the traditional perceptions of college selection. They push back against the prestige-driven mindset, urging us to reconsider what truly matters in the college search. Through their engaging conversation, you'll learn about a values-based approach that prioritizes personal happiness and fulfillment. Jared shares a memorable anecdote illustrating why we should celebrate every student's journey, not just those who reach elite institutions. Jen echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's motivations and priorities in the college landscape.
Our discussion unfolds with an exploration of how conventional college criteria, like size and location, often overshadow the deeper question of what brings joy and purpose to a student's life. We unpack innovative techniques such as card sorting and guided questioning, offering a personalized roadmap for first-generation college students who might find the process overwhelming. The insights shared by Jared and Jen are invaluable not only for students but also for parents, coaches, and guardians who wish to support them on this journey.
As we confront the challenges posed by the obsession with rankings, we also spotlight the often-overlooked benefits of smaller liberal arts colleges. Jared and Jen advocate for a shift away from the pressures perpetuated by the college admissions industry, encouraging a paradigm where educational choices are genuinely reflective of personal values. By doing so, we hope to spark a broader societal change that promotes long-term fulfillment and happiness, reducing the high rates of career dissatisfaction and financial burdens faced by many.
