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.

Recently, the Mastery School of Hawken hosted our newly accepted families for a Covid-safe on campus event during which they could tour the buildings, speak to faculty, and experience a bit of the pedagogy that makes the school so distinctive.
Families could also stop by the ReDesigning School booth to record a question for Julia Griffin, Director of the Mastery School, and Rasa Drane, Director of Admission. In this episode, host Terry Dubow poses those and other questions to Julia and Rasa, whose responses shed more light on the Mastery School.
