What's the Big Idea?
A Human-Centered Approach to Education with Chris McNutt
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In which Dan talks with Chris McNutt, an Ohio educator, the executive director of the Human Restoration Project, and a leading voice for a progressive, human-centered education. They talk about the manufactured myth of "learning loss", media literacy, and the incredible work of HRP. As always, I welcome comments and questions on Twitter @BigIdeaEd
