287: Giving Youth Voice in Their Education

Guest

Andrew Sachs is the CEO and Founder of Nobel Learning. Nobel helps learners get the technical, soft, and leadership skills they need to succeed in work and life in today's quickly changing world.

Summary

In this episode – which is an update of episode #122 where Andrew and I first talked – we focus on the need to equip students with the skills they need to succeed in school, life, and the ever-changing job market. We discussed the role of technology in education and the value of youth-led projects and collaboration. We also explored the challenges of education reform and the need to find ways to make traditional education more relevant to today's students.

One of Andrew's most profound ideas was, "If you want kids to lead, let them learn to make decisions. Let them make decisions. And let them make mistakes."
