Chapter 1 of 10.

In this opening episode, host Thembi Duncan speaks with education expert Dr. Charles Reigeluth, author of Vision and Action: Reinventing Schools through Personalized Competency Based Education, about why America’s schools are in crisis, and why wholesale paradigm change is needed if American schools are going to be able to compete on the world stage.

From poor international rankings to low proficiency rates in reading and math, Dr. Reigeluth outlines the urgent need to move from an outdated industrial-age model to a learner-centered digital-age paradigm.

This episode features Dee Thomas, Jim Wartman, and Nick Ryan from the Minnesota New Country School in Henderson, Minnesota as well as Nikita Khetan and Kristin Goodell from the Red Bridge School in San Francisco, California, who share how the personalized, student-centered learning model works in their schools.
