Hi I’m Jo Yang, a high school educator and on Ready to Redo we’re dissecting the juicy topic of educational re-doing. Here we question the traditional education system, is it REALLY doing what’s best for our students and their future? Stay tuned for interviews with other educators, organisations defying the educational norm and everyone in between - you’ll be surprised just how many are part of this quest for a redo.

Some of you might not know that Sal Khan (Khan Academy) actually has a PHYSICAL SCHOOL in California! Aaaand you guessed it, today we're incredibly lucky to be joined by Brandon Lee, director of Project Based Learning at Khan Lab school. We deep dive into the importance of project based learning, the fun curriculum and launch days that Brandon and KLS staff work hard to organise, and how that's changing the education sphere! So much to unpack, so let's jump into it :)

First of all, an INCREDIBLY HUGE SORRY for the unexplained silence. May fizzle now rest in peace, and the podcast live on (even while I'll be immersing myself in good ol' traditional education!)

Prisma isn't teaching kids WHAT to learn, but HOW to learn.
It's personalised, practical, teaching essential 21st century skills, and basically solving a lot of what i've ranted about on this podcast! We're joined by CEO and founder Victoria Ransom to discuss:
- How her own children inspired the creation of Prisma
- Why learners' academic outcomes have grown 150% (compared to the 'expected' rate) DESPITE not having grades and mandatory curriculums
- Why (and how) they carefully select Prisma mentors & coaches
And much much more of course!

If a student sees an F on their test, they'll think many things. One of them being "I'm a failure"... How toxic is that? Today's episode is all about psychology, conditioning, and ways to UNDO a student's beliefs around grades, enjoy!

Traditional education just ain't working, and Prisma seems to have just the perfect solution. In part 1, I chat to Emily Veno, Prisma's head of curriculum on how they're revolutionising the idea of school (while also being completely online!)
We dive into into their practical, personalised curriculum, and how they teach skills like critical thinking, ethical decision making and collaboration... makes me want to be a student again :'(

Interested in revolutionising online learning? Then take notes in today's episode, with Primer CEO and cofounder Ryan Delk! Primer is an online education platform for homeschoolers aged 9-12, and they're honestly doing so many things right. They value creativity, problem solving, autonomy, and make kids the director of their own learning. This is honestly how I see the future of education, so hope you enjoy!
