EPISODE 132: A Year Later: Catching up on Micro Schools and Education
July 14, 2023
Overview:
Our world feels chaotic and divided. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the next generation of leaders are sitting in classrooms right now and we have an opportunity to prepare them for the future. Kelly Smith, founder of the microschool Prenda, joins the show to discuss the future of education and how we can break out of our silos to do the work that needs to be done. They also talk about Kelly’s new book, “A Fire to be Kindled” which explores the idea that humans have the potential to solve all of our world’s problems if we focus on education and personal growth.
