In this episode of New Education Systems, Layman sits down with Brad Kershner to talk about his extensive experience working for and managing alternative and progressive schools; the strengths and unique contributions of the Waldorf method; the challenges of education in a time of media saturation and rampant disinformation; the qualities of a good teacher and student; the need to get away from "teaching to the test"; the importance of a developmental understanding for sensitive and transformative pedagogy; balancing complexity and simplicity; and much more.

Brad Kershner reads books, teaches meditation, leads a school community, and loves a lot of people. He writes and speaks about a wide range of interdependent topics, e.g. education, parenting, integral theory, metamodernism, Buddhism, human development, complexity, and sociocultural emergence. Some of his public lectures are available on YouTube. You can learn more about his work and access recordings of his guided meditations on Patreon.
