They're Rethinking High School | Transformation Journey: Bostonia Global (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A K-8 district isn't supposed to have a high school. Bostonia Global built one anyway, and rethought what high school could look like in the process. In this episode, Rebecca Midles talks with Nerel Winter (CEO of Bostonia Global), Johanna Simko (Principal of Bostonia Global High School), and David Rios (a Bostonia Global alumnus) about designing an in-district dependent charter high school from scratch, one built around competency-based learning, a K-12 "world of work" curriculum, and an adviso
What $600 Million Buys You in School Redesign | Mike Posthumus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A school in Singapore just spent over $600 million reimagining what a classroom should be, and it's not what you'd expect.

Are schools collecting too much data? | Dr. Kelly Page (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Digital badges and credentials promise to finally show what a learner actually knows. Dr. Kelly Page says that promise has a dark side nobody's talking about. In this episode, host Mason Pashia talks with Dr. Kelly Page, a social design ethnographer and author of "When Credentials Cause Harm: Unpacking the Risks of Verifiable Learning and Work Records." Kelly has spent years documenting how well-intentioned credentialing systems can end up excluding, surveilling, or flattening the very people th
