Education is changing. But teachers have known that for a long time. And they've been making change happen since before people were willing to listen.

Have you ever thought about what makes apps like Tik Tok and Youtube so addicting?

You've heard of edchats on Twitter, and you've probably seen teacher-focused Facebook groups. But have you ever felt like they weren't enough? Like maybe there was a better way to build community among educators online...
Education is a lot more than the core curriculum. But when you take into account things like assessments and standards, we often lose sight of the bigger picture: supporting the whole child.
And that disconnect is what led Komal Shah to write her book: Bringing Consciousness Into Education.
She's a former teacher, business school graduate, and now author. And she's setting out to change education for the better.
In this interview, she shares what it takes to create change in education.

Change can be hard, but it also brings opportunity. Like when COVID hit and suddenly learning took place in homes and parents needed help.
That’s when Podskool was founded with a mission to connect learning pods to high-quality, vetted teachers.
In this episode, Anna talks with Naomi and Neta about the genesis of PodSkool and their vision for it in a post-COVID world.
They also explore the role of education entrepreneurship in 2021 and how these companies can redefine what education looks like in the future.

We all know students learn when they are engaged. But getting them engaged isn’t easy.
That’s where Denis Ocampo comes in. He’s the founder of OutboxEDU, a new edtech platform, that focuses on online learning through gamification.
It takes those education buzzwords, like active, interdisciplinary, and self-paced, and actually puts them into practice.
The possibilities don’t end there though. Denis wants to change how teachers market their instructional design, how homeschool programs and learning pods operate, and how we reach the most marginalized students in our classes.
It’s edtech that really is changing the future of learning.

If you like curriculum, this is the interview for you. Brett, Michael, and Anna geek out about all things curriculum this episode, from project-based learning to STEAM, IB, and the Common Core – they cover it all.
As they prove, curriculum can be exciting. It’s an opportunity to chart a path toward learning. To put design to work in the classroom. To *reimagine* what instruction looks like.
And this work of reimagining education, it’s what Brett & Michael are all about.
So, if you want a future where learning looks different, check this out.

The backbone of any educational institution is the administration. They are the bridge to the community.
And that’s what Holly Clark focuses on. She does it so well that was named one of the Top 25 Women in Higher Ed.
In this interview, Holly Clark shares the top strategies she’s used to create effective administrative programs and offers advice for other emerging leaders in education.
Holly and Anna also dive into her current role and how schools can use history to connect students to their communities and create more inclusive educational experiences year over year.

Correction: Historic Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church purchased the pastor's freedom, not slavery.
Do you remember that moment you graduated high school? How scary (and exciting) was that?
Suddenly, you’re an adult making decisions about your future.
Like where to go to college (or if you should go). What career to pursue. What passions to follow.
These are consequential decisions we’re expected to make but often aren’t prepared to.
That’s where the team at Hallpass comes in. They work with students and adults in transitionary periods and coach them along their journey. And they’re here in this interview to share what this looks like and how school leaders can better equip students along their paths.
