    Some of you might not know that Sal Khan (Khan Academy) actually has a PHYSICAL SCHOOL in California! Aaaand you guessed it, today we're incredibly lucky to be joined by Brandon Lee, director of Project Based Learning at Khan Lab school.

  • 53. Teaching 21st Century Skills w/ Victoria Ransom (Prisma Part 2)
    Oct 4 2021

    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!

    Sep 20 2021

    Traditional education just ain't working, and Prisma seems to have just the perfect solution. In part 1, I chat to Emily Veno, Prisma's head of curriculum on how they're revolutionising the idea of school (while also being completely online!)

    We dive into into their practical, personalised curriculum, and how they teach skills like critical thinking, ethical decision making and collaboration... makes me want to be a student again :'(

    Interested in revolutionising online learning? Then take notes in today's episode, with Primer CEO and cofounder Ryan Delk! Primer is an online education platform for homeschoolers aged 9-12, and they're honestly doing so many things right.
