    S4 E6: Interview with Devin Carberry and learners from Learnlife, who are living the free learning life every day

    What if you could demonstrate your skills and learning through projects you're passionate about instead of classes? Learnlife was born from a deep desire to free learning from the constrains of the standard classroom. Devin and his co-founders visited and researched 100 different schools across the globe and picked out what works and why to turn it into the first Learnlife hub in Barcelona. Now with multiple hubs and training delivered to teachers across the globe, Learnlife wants to spread the word that the future of education will not be taught - the future will guide, facilitate and help learners follow their own passions. In this episode, we are privileged to get to meet and talk with Devin and three of the learners at the hub, Sol, Lorenzo and Pep. We hear all about how the hub runs day-to-day, what the learners are working on and why it is such a different experience to a standard curriculum-based school. Check out Devin's new book, The Future Will Not Be Taught. Find out more about the Learnlife hubs and training. Follow Pep's plastic recycling project on Insta.

    S4 E5: Interview with Joel Shaljean, trainer and ex-teacher who is showing teachers what poor behaviour really means

    Are we looking at behaviour management the wrong way? Behaviour management is a topic all to itself when it comes to teaching, but what if we're looking at it the wrong way? Managing behaviour in a classroom often centres around rewards and punishments, from sticker charts and rainclouds for young children, to exclusion rooms and detentions for seniors, all of which can be short-lived and hard to implement. Joel Shaljean is a therapeutic trainer in Essex and worked as a deputy head in a special school for a number of years. In this episode, he shares his knowledge about seeing behaviour as a result of underlying thoughts, feelings and experiences and instilling pro-social skills in young people. Behaviour management policies in schools can have unintended negative consequences and Joel shows us an alternative way to consider how we can look after our young people in the school environment (and at home). If you'd like to get in touch with Joel find him on LinkedIn.

    S4 E4: Interview with Dr James Mannion, education researcher who wants to change the school system

    Education in the UK is "a system that is deeply unhealthy in many ways" Dr. James Mannion started his career as a teacher to change the way education was embodied in schools. However, he realised that the system was so outdated and broken that the teaching workload made it extremely hard to enact any real widespread change. So he launched Rethinking Education, an organisation that supports schools through change initiatives, challenges the status quo on a podcast, and brings education reformers together through online forums and real-life conferences. In this episode, we cover why the way the school system is set up currently just doesn't work to create healthy, lifelong learners, why fear is a problem, and we dive into "Implementation Science" which looks at how schools (and other organisations) can create change that lasts.

    S4 E3: Interview with Peter Hartkamp, advocate for youth rights and founder of a Sudbury school in The Netherlands

    When your child tells you they would rather be dead than be in school, it would make any parent take action. Peter Hartkamp and his wife did just that - by taking their daughter out of mainstream education and setting up their own school in The Netherlands. After some failed attempts at circumventing the education system there, they now run the successful Sudbury School in Amersfoort and this interview is all about the school and why Peter kept pushing the government in The Netherlands to allow him to create this change for his daughter and the many other children who now attend the school. For more info on the school, check out their website: Sudbury School Amersfoort Peter's book "Beyond Coercive Education" is available in various places - check it out if you would like to hear more about his thoughts on children's rights.

    S4 E1: Interview with Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist and advocate for self-directed learning

    If you've ever thought there was something about school that just didn't sit right with you, Dr. Naomi Fisher will probably be able to articulate why that is. She is a clinical psychologist and author and has worked with children and adults who have struggled with or fallen out of the education system for many years. She has seen the challenges young people struggle with at school and advocates for society to look at whether it might be the system itself that needs to change instead of the individuals within it. Naomi has written two books: Changing Our Minds I have read and would HIGHLY recommend and is on Kindle for 99p throughout June, and her new book, A Different Way to Learn, is just about to be released on the 21st of June.
