Some of you might not know that Sal Khan (Khan Academy) actually has a PHYSICAL SCHOOL in California! Aaaand you guessed it, today we're incredibly lucky to be joined by Brandon Lee, director of Project Based Learning at Khan Lab school.

First of all, an INCREDIBLY HUGE SORRY for the unexplained silence. May fizzle now rest in peace, and the podcast live on (even while I'll be immersing myself in good ol' traditional education!)

Prisma isn't teaching kids WHAT to learn, but HOW to learn.
It's personalised, practical, teaching essential 21st century skills, and basically solving a lot of what i've ranted about on this podcast! We're joined by CEO and founder Victoria Ransom to discuss:
- How her own children inspired the creation of Prisma
- Why learners' academic outcomes have grown 150% (compared to the 'expected' rate) DESPITE not having grades and mandatory curriculums
- Why (and how) they carefully select Prisma mentors & coaches
And much much more of course!

If a student sees an F on their test, they'll think many things. One of them being "I'm a failure"... How toxic is that? Today's episode is all about psychology, conditioning, and ways to UNDO a student's beliefs around grades, enjoy!

Traditional education just ain't working, and Prisma seems to have just the perfect solution. In part 1, I chat to Emily Veno, Prisma's head of curriculum on how they're revolutionising the idea of school (while also being completely online!)
We dive into into their practical, personalised curriculum, and how they teach skills like critical thinking, ethical decision making and collaboration... makes me want to be a student again :'(

Interested in revolutionising online learning? Then take notes in today's episode, with Primer CEO and cofounder Ryan Delk! Primer is an online education platform for homeschoolers aged 9-12, and they're honestly doing so many things right. They value creativity, problem solving, autonomy, and make kids the director of their own learning. This is honestly how I see the future of education, so hope you enjoy!

It's the thing we all DESPISE in P.E class... yep the dreaded beep test.
Somehow my brain decided it was a great analogy for the education system, and why grading and forced learning SUCK.
So here it is, hope you enjoy!

TW: This episode discusses rape & sexual assault.
Today we're diving into consent education with the incredible Yasmin Ilhan who, earlier this year, came out about her rape in high school. Rather than focusing on HOW to teach consent ed, we discuss the self-doubt and stigma she and victims experience, societal patriarchy, and the underlying issues of consent and assault.

What happens when we have all the right resources, plenty of fun activities, but no one comfortable enough to engage in them...
It all comes down to the fear of judgement, with this episode suggesting ways to eliminate it from the classroom.
Let's jump into it!

Here's another random topic that somehow links back to our education system!
Hard selling is impersonal, overlooks the customer's best interests and needs, and practically turns them off from purchasing what you have.
The education system is standardised, overlooking student's interests and learning styles, and practically squashes any curiosity they have of learning...
