Authentic Learning

Glenn Chickering

The intention of this podcast is to discuss ‘Authentic Learning’ with progressive educators around the world who are pushing the envelope to bring education up to speed with our rapidly evolving world. When I refer to 'Authentic Learning', I envision learning that connects students to their communities in real-world projects that make a difference in their communities and equips them with the skills and competencies they will need to thrive in the 21st century. What does authentic learning mean to you?

    Andrew Hallam

    My guest today is Andrew Hallam. Andrew is originally from Canada and taught English and Personal Finance internationally for 11 years, setting him up nicely to become a best selling author of the financial guides; Millionaire Teacher and Millionaire Expat while consistently contributing to international publications. We are lucky to have him at Green School this week to share his no-nonsense ideas about saving and investing and preparing for retirement with our students, teachers and parent community. His ideas have an authenticity to them that are hard to ignore and I think you’ll enjoy his thoughts on how schools can make learning ‘authentic’ for our students.
