  • A valuable treasure!

    So excited to listen through this series. I heard some of the newer ones and just went back to start (2020). I’m learning so much through these conversations. Really enjoying the book recommendations too. Thanks for all the work you’re doing for the educational renaissance! I’m so thankful and happy to see how much support is out there. The future is bright. <3

  • Dr. Alexander interview

    This interview by Jeremy was interesting and informative. It was nice to hear a professor from a top tier public university, UVA, discuss censorship in common sensical ways.

  • Better Fact Checking

    Massachusetts schools did not “ban” The Odyssey. The movement in question was advocating more diverse perspectives in literature, the complete opposite of what you imply. Choosing to move The Odyssey to other grade levels or even not include it in a curriculum is a completely different thing than a ban, like those we see from brain dead GOP governors. Kind of sounds like some both sides nonsense to help push a moral panic about “wokeness” whether you mean it to or not

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Preserving Democracy Through Educational Pluralism | Ashley Berner
Q: What role should assessments play in a pluralistic system, and what practical steps could states take?
Berner advocated for content-specific exit exams and a menu of high-quality assessments tied to outcomes rather than inputs, plus intermediate checks to avoid late-stage shocks and to guide instruction from early grades onward.
Preserving Democracy Through Educational Pluralism | Ashley Berner
Q: How do you define educational pluralism and why is it essential for democracy?
She argued that pluralistic funding and governance of multiple school types are necessary to honor families' values while ensuring shared content and academic rigor, thus sustaining democratic culture and social mobility.
Preserving Democracy Through Educational Pluralism | Ashley Berner
Q: We started by asking about your personal academic background and formative influences on your path to education policy.
Berner described a lifelong engagement with the humanities, the influence of her family on her intellectual formation, and a shift from broad exposure to disciplined knowledge as she observed gaps in students' understanding, which propelled her toward studying and shaping education policy.
Moral Formation as the Heart of Education | Michael Rose
Q: How does the school balance rigorous academics with joyful learning and a genuine culture of beauty?
He describes a policy of 'joyful seriousness' where serious study is paired with an environment that fosters happiness and curiosity, along with a deliberate focus on beauty in spaces, art, and daily routines.
Moral Formation as the Heart of Education | Michael Rose
Q: What drew you to architecture and how did it influence your later work in education?
Rose talks about the beauty of the built environment and how a deep appreciation for history and culture in architecture shaped his understanding of public spaces, education, and the need to learn from the past in forming well-rounded citizens.
