In this episode, I’m joined by Peter Hoststrasser and Alli Dahl from the Disrupt Education Podcast to talk about shaking up the traditional education system. Peter and Alli have been leading conversations around innovation, student voice, and breaking away from outdated methods in the classroom. We dive into overcoming fear in education, embracing change, and the power of play in learning. We also explore how rural and local communities can be the real drivers of educational transformation—and why failure should be something students experience more often, not less.

What We Talked About:

✔ Why so many teachers fear change—and how to move past it
✔ The outdated mindset that’s still holding education back
✔ How failure and iteration help students build resilience
✔ Why real change in education happens at the local level
✔ The power of play in learning—yes, even in middle and high school!
✔ Why we need to involve students in solving real-world problems

Meet My Guests:🎙️ Peter Hoststrasser – 23-year educator, CTE/business teacher, internship coordinator, and co-host of the Disrupt Education Podcast. He’s passionate about hands-on learning and connecting students with real-world experiences.

🎙️ Alli Dahl – Former chemistry teacher turned skydiving instructor (yes, really!). She brings a fresh perspective on overcoming fear, rethinking education, and getting students to push beyond their comfort zones.
