Education Disruption episodes:

September 30, 2019 5. Disrupting High School Education Requires Patience
The day-to-day challenges of running a high school that is student-centered have to be met with a certain level of patience.

PROGRAM NOTE: At about 5:40 into this episode there was a knock at the door. It was a student who had just received her first credit of high school. At Map Academy, every credit earned is celebrated and announced to the entire school community. We thought this was a great moment and chose to keep it in the episode.

September 09, 2019 2. Rethinking the High School Schedule
One major aspect of the high school experience we chose to overhaul was the schedule. There are no bells at our school and students have a lot more autonomy over their day. In this episode, we talk about how we're reshaping this school day model after seeing it in action our first year.

We set out to reimagine high school. In our first episode of Education Disruption, we talk about how and why we came to open our own high school.
