Redesigning School

There's a secret hidden in plain sight: school doesn't work for many, many students because, to a large extent, todays schools were built for yesterdays world. Schools still prioritize teaching over learning, conformity over agency, memorization over application, testing knowledge over using it, grading over growing, competition over collaboration, stress over engagement, the what over the why. What would happen, though, if we designed school with students and the future in mind? Every other Wednesday, parents, students, and fellow teachers should join Terry Dubow and Julia Griffin, teachers at Hawken School outside Cleveland, Ohio, as they interview experts, students, and educators, and explore ways to redesign school for changed world.
