Redesigning School
There's a secret hidden in plain sight: school doesn't work for many, many students because, to a large extent, today’s schools were built for yesterday’s 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, Garet Libbey, and Julia Griffin as they interview experts, students, and educators, and explore ways to redesign school for changed world.

What's it like to design a school from the ground floor? Particularly a school that's built on massive paradigm shifts around teaching methods, assessment models, and more? Julia Griffin and Doris Korda of the Korda Institute for Teaching share their thoughts on where we are with the design of The Mastery School of Hawken, which opens in ten short months.
We're exactly where we're supposed to be, they say. And that's a complicated and invigorating place.
