October 04, 2021 53. Teaching 21st Century Skills w/ Victoria Ransom (Prisma Part 2)
Prisma isn't teaching kids WHAT to learn, but HOW to learn.
It's personalised, practical, teaching essential 21st century skills, and basically solving a lot of what i've ranted about on this podcast! We're joined by CEO and founder Victoria Ransom to discuss:
- How her own children inspired the creation of Prisma
- Why learners' academic outcomes have grown 150% (compared to the 'expected' rate) DESPITE not having grades and mandatory curriculums
- Why (and how) they carefully select Prisma mentors & coaches

And much much more of course!
