“When am I ever going to use this?”

from UnDisrupted with Adam & Carl · host Future Ready Schools

Dr. Matthew Friedman joins the conversation to break down how schools can stop “playing school” and start helping students actually understand who they are, what they are good at, and where their passions can take them. From career awareness in kindergarten to voice and choice in high school, this is about making learning matter now, not someday. It’s a conversation about relevance. About student voice. About moving from memorization to mastery. And about what happens when schools speak a common language that students, families, and communities all understand. There’s humor. There’s honesty. There’s Pearl Jam. And there’s a powerful reminder that education works best when students see themselves in it.
