Redesigning School

Google started as a search engine in 1998 and now is an Alphabet valued at three-quarters of a trillion dollars. In between those two moments in time, it transitioned from a mere idea to one of the most profound and disruptive technologies in the history of the human race. What could schools learn from this kind of evolution? A lot, it turns out. In this episode of the pod, Terry Dubow and Julia Griffin interview John Schirm, Compensation Manager at Google, to learn more about how Google created a culture that values growth, psychological safety, and collaboration. We also hear a bit of a defense of liberal arts colleges and just how amazing lunchtime is on the Google campus.Thanks as always to Nick Fletcher and Rennie Greenfield for their technical support.
