Julie joins me today to discuss the three truths of education, which expose the actual goals of the educational system, what it should be aiming for, and where its weaknesses are. She discusses the need for schools to release control and compliance, helping children be more self-authoring and curious. Julie explores cultural bias and examples of the educational system not leveraging what we know about how humans learn and grow. Julie also reveals five critical decisions and questions for educators and leaders that intersect with the three truths.
“With how events have unfolded in the last eighteen months, we really need to make some fundamental changes reflected by these three truths, and our future depends on it.” - Julie Jungalwala
