About This Collection
What does it take to truly reinvent education? In this collection from the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, we explore bold approaches to schooling that center imagination, creativity, and future thinking. These conversations go beyond traditional classrooms to highlight alternative schools, homeschooling models, and supplemental programs designed to fuel innovation and inspire students to design solutions for their communities.
Featuring thought leaders and education entrepreneurs from around the world, this collection asks whether schools naturally evolve or if a revolution is needed to bring about the changes we want for creativity and innovation. Guests such as Will Richardson challenge us to rethink the very purpose of school, while Francis Valintine explores better ways to connect learning with careers of the future. Joann McPike shares her journey in creating a school dedicated to exposing students to diverse cultures, and Raya Bidshahri reveals how she set out to design an entirely new school model built around creativity and future-focused learning.
