Komal Shah is an educational consultant and thought leader on a mission to transform

the world through conscious education.

After Komal spent five years in the Teach For America program as a middle school

educator, she was left wanting more. She wanted more for her own kids and all kids. To

pursue this dream, she attended USC Marshall School of Business where she received

her MBA.

Today she leverages her passion for education, business expertise, and her personal

conscious living practices. Her plan is to shift outdated educational paradigms and

transform the educational system for the betterment of all children.

Join us for this insightful episode where we discuss the link between successful

businesses and schools, the importance of consistent messaging, and why we need to

seek feedback from our learners.

MORE ABOUT THE REBEL EDUCATOR PODCAST:

In each episode of the Rebel Educator podcast, I deconstruct world-class educators, students, and thought leaders in education to extract the tactics, tools, and routines that you can use as teachers and parents. Join me as we discuss how to shift the classroom, the learning environment, the mindset, and the pedagogy, to resist tradition, reignite wonder, and re-imagine the future of education.

This podcast is dedicated to all of the educators who work thankless hours to make our next generation the best it can be.  It was designed to begin conversations on how we can redesign education for the future of work and the success of our students.  It is meant for teachers, students, administrators, homeschoolers and anyone who interacts with and teaches youth.
