This is a bonus episode in which we look at one issue – “education”
My guest is Laura Sanderfer – author of Courage to Grow and founder of Acton Academy
Key Points:
- Knowing – vs doing and being
- Filling our heads with facts and memorizing multiplication tables may not be a productive way of building skills that will lead to a lucrative job or be the basis for starting a profitable business.
- Acton Academy does not have teachers………they have “guides”
- They use a very different “upside down” power structure that gives control and decision making to the students.
- The students are called “Eagles” and each child is expected to experience “the hero’s journey.”
