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.

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!

Hello hello! Today we're joined by registered psychotherapist Dr Sia Bandarian to discuss ISTDP psychotherapy, the myths and lies around self-care and self worth, and of course linking that back to education.
There's so much to unpack and misconceptions to dispel, so let's jump into it!

Are we born with learning disabilities (ie genetic), or are they created from our environment? Today we launch into the nature vs nurture debate and explain that....
**SPOILER ALERT**

It's the thing we all DESPISE in P.E class... yep the dreaded beep test.
Somehow my brain decided it was a great analogy for the education system, and why grading and forced learning SUCK.
So here it is, hope you enjoy!

TW: This episode discusses rape & sexual assault.
Today we're diving into consent education with the incredible Yasmin Ilhan who, earlier this year, came out about her rape in high school. Rather than focusing on HOW to teach consent ed, we discuss the self-doubt and stigma she and victims experience, societal patriarchy, and the underlying issues of consent and assault.

Today's episode is a LABYRINTH. Was supposed to be short and sweet unpacking Sal Khan's Mastery Learning concept... but OH THE LAYERS.
