What skills will students need to be prepared for an increasingly complex future?

As technology continues to shape our society and our structures of communication, how should education respond?

And can places of privilege foster equity and inclusivity within and beyond their communities?

My name is Tristan Friedberg Rodman. This is Learned, a podcast from Oakwood School.

On Learned, we'll be looking beyond test scores and college acceptance rates to understand how education can shape the future of our society — and what kind of teaching we need to bring us there. I'll be joined by Ivan Johnson, Oakwood's Director of Co-Curricular Programs, and Christie Guevara, Oakwood's Director of Alumni Relations. I'm an Oakwood alum myself, Class of 2011.

We had candid conversations with educators, parents, and alumni about the educational issues that matter most to them. The episodes span a wide range of topics — from creativity to entrepreneurship, social justice to mental health, technological change to equity and inclusion at private schools.

Stay with us as we share these conversations week by week.
