A New Vision For Schools with Michael Strong | The New Minds Podcast: Episode 36

Today's guest, Michael Strong, is one of the most experienced designers of innovative school programs in the United States. His projects include a public school program in which minority female students gained four years’ worth of critical thinking gains in four months (on the Watson-Glaser). He later went into Montessori secondary school program design at The Judson Montessori School (San Antonio), The Emerson School, and Hacienda School. He created The Winston Academy, where middle school students passed AP exams, making it the most academically advanced school in the country at the time.

That's just the beginning! In this episode, Michael and Ben discuss his vision, motivation, and origin story as a school creator, as well as the state and future of education.

Michael is the author of The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice and lead author of Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World’s Problems.
