Read excerpt
From Learning Consumers to Producers What if the most important things schools teach, agency, collaboration, ethical judgment, are precisely the things we never measure?

My guest this week is Ellen Heyting, Senior Research Fellow at Melbourne Metrics within the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne. Ellen has spent over a decade teaching an

Laura Schroeder - Learning in Action (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Season 5 Premiere: Youth Perspectives — Laura Schroeder on Grades, AI, and Learning in Action Laura doesn't hold back on what's broken — grades that serve comparison over learning, pressure that turns curiosity into performance, a system that asks students to wait until a doctoral thesis to rediscover the curiosity they were born with. But she doesn't stop at the critique. She offers alternatives: portfolios, rubrics, project-based learning, and AI used as a creative tool rather than a shortcut.
