Mark joins us this week to discuss the innovative education framework called Lean Education. It can be used with any national curriculum and adopts a spiral competency based education approach. Thus, it focuses student effort, not only on the accumulation of subject knowledge within the curriculum, but on honing the skills and developing the character qualities needed to become successful in life.

"How can we infuse curiosity into the learning environment, so we allow students to drive their eduction?"

"It's about reliability and validity. Is this method of assessment truly measuring what I think I taught, and what my students truly know and learned?
