Listen "S3.E1: Bringing Consciousness to Education with Komal Shah"
Episode Synopsis
Komal Shah is a former educator and the author of Raise Your Hand, A Call for Consciousness in Education. Komal's book is incredible and opens with many of the same revelations we had about our education system as we were recording Season 1 of the podcast (which you should go back and listen to if you missed!)In this conversation we talk about what consciousness is, how the foundation school as we know it needs to change, and the role consciousness plays in transforming learning environments to support the humans inside them. For those of you who have followed the business-driven dictates of the last two decades "Reform" Era in education (think increased testing, Common Core Standards, evaluations, etc-- lots of hype, little results) you'll be fascinated and inspired by Komal's lens on how 21st century business ideas could in fact help schools serve their clients better.
