Parents Changing the Game - A Conversation with Matt Barnes

Matt Barnes is the co-founder of The Education Game with Dr Scott Van BeckMatt believes that “normal” is broken in traditionally structured schools and wants to make “weird” the new normal. Over 25 years, Matt has distributed $500m in philanthropy, led an education reform nonprofit, served on nine educational boards from pre-K to university, and coached thousands of parents on education system navigation. In 2020, Matt launched “The Education Game,” a platform that inspires parents to embrace a Future-Ready learning model that shamelessly deemphasizes grades and academic compliance while radically emphasizing learning, problem-solving, and student-engagement. He is the father of three teens who were educated in alternative models.Social LinksLinkedIn: @matthewcbarnes Twitter: @mattbarnes4kids
