In this episode of Walk the Walk, Scott McLarty, Head of School at Providence High School, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Homa Tavangar, co-founder of the Big Questions Institute.

Together, they dive into transformative learning opportunities that educators and organizations can harness to navigate an unpredictable future through fearless inquiry.

Homa dives into the essential skills needed to thrive in today’s chaotic world, focusing on creativity, curiosity, and community. She highlights the power of asking big questions and the importance of adaptability and resilience in uncertain times, emphasizing the need for innovative practices in education.

The episode explores several key themes: 

• Navigating Uncertainty: Highlighting how educators can effectively manage the complexities of today's evolving landscape. 

• Cultivating Inquiry: Discussing strategies that foster deep engagement and critical thinking in learners. 

• Transformative Practices: Offering practical approaches for integrating transformative learning into educational institutions. 

Their discussion also revisits the frameworks of VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) and BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible), and how understanding them can be helpful for navigating modern complexities with greater clarity. 

Scott and Homa conclude by reflecting on how listeners can pave the way for future generations. By embracing curiosity, striving to be good ancestors, and framing the next generation as civilization builders, we can take on the big questions together.
