We are led to believe that the education system will continually evolve to meet the needs of learners and society. This has not happened. We need a revolution!

Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith
In this episode, we are joined by Will Goldsmith, Head of Bedales School.
This was fascinating. We covered:
Removing unnecessary hierarchies
Promoting student agency and responsibility
Co-curating a community WITH students
Developing value to the wider educational system
Preparing students in school for specific academic curricula
Bringing your authentic self to your work
Will and his team announced last year about scaling down GCSEs in their school. It won’t take a rocket science to realise that this resonated with me & Steve! This has been mischaracterised as scrapping exams or arrogant ‘you must do what we do’ proselytising. The link to one of the articles is here.

Edufuturists #230 The Mother of Invention with Ed Kirwan & Dr Helen Demetriou
In this episode, we are joined by a returning guest in the form of Ed Kirwan, Founder @EmpathyWeek who brought with him a powerhouse in Empathy Education, Dr Helen Demetriou from the University of Cambridge.
We talk about how empathy is a skill that can be developed, the difference between empathy and sympathy and also how it is the foundation for all other skill development. As usual, it's a whirlwind through lots of iconoclasm - exams, prescribed curricula, teacher workload - all in the name of building a future for education.

Customer Reviews
Well Worth It
This podcast is great and should be added to your playlist if you are teacher that is using technology in your classroom. I have a bunch of ideas for my 1:1 classroom after listening. I'm excited for more episodes. Keep 'em coming!
Hilariously educational
This podcast keeps you laughing and learning all at the same time. The banter between the hosts is fun to listen to, and they cover all types of educational technology topics.
