What are the 3 things you actually remember learning in school? Not the notes, not the tests, not the lectures. In this episode of the Disrupt Education Podcast, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl break down one of the most powerful takeaways from their conversation with Dr. Sandra Adams and turn it into a challenge every educator needs to hear. The truth is simple and uncomfortable: most of what we “teach” isn’t what students remember. What actually sticks are experiences, projects, moments of failure, and moments where students take ownership of their learning. This conversation dives into why traditional education misses the mark, how Career and Technical Education is shifting the model, and what it really takes to create meaningful learning that lasts. You’ll hear real examples of unforgettable classroom experiences, why lecture-based teaching struggles to engage students, and how educators can shift from being the owner of knowledge to becoming a coach, mentor, and designer of learning experiences. If you care about student engagement, CTE, career readiness, or the future of education, this episode will challenge how you think about learning and push you to rethink your own classroom or organization.
