We hear, frequently, that the global education system is broken, and as a result, we spend billions of dollar trying to fix it. But the K-12 system isn’t actually broken at all – it’s working exactly as it was designed, 100 years ago, and it’s obsolete. So in Learning Unboxed, we will have a conversation about teaching, learning, and the future of work; we will reimagine, rethink, and redesign our educational system.

In this episode of Learning Unboxed, we’re joined by Dave Hersh, the CEO of InTandem, a groundbreaking organization connecting youth voices with industries to improve products, programs, and services. Dave’s work centers on reducing the barriers that prevent young people from participating in the design of the very systems and tools that impact their lives. By removing logistical, regulatory, and cultural obstacles, InTandem ensures youth are not just heard but actively co-designing the future. Dave shares his insights into the friction industries face when engaging with young people and explains how InTandem bridges this gap. We dive into the transformative potential of youth-driven design, from education technology to app development, and how organizations gain actionable insights by involving young people at every stage of the R&D process. Dave also explores the profound impact this engagement has on youth, fostering agency, belonging, and real-world skills. Tune in to hear how InTandem is redefining collaboration between generations, giving young people a seat at the table, and helping organizations create solutions that truly work.

In this episode of Learning Unboxed, we have the privilege of delving into the personal journey of Kapono Ciotti, CEO of the Pacific American Foundation and co-author of the Landscape Model of Learning. His story, inspired by his parents and his own empowering school experiences, resonates with our shared commitment to reimagining education as a space where students are the protagonists of their learning journey. We explore the origins of the PEAK model, rooted in the work of "What School Could Be," and its focus on fostering purpose, essential skills, student agency, and deep, applied learning. Kapono's emphasis on celebrating schools' successes beyond standardized testing is a beacon of hope, providing a pathway for certification of distinction and encouraging schools to spotlight and build on what they're doing well. Kapono shares insights into the challenges of educational reform, from systemic bureaucracy to integrating AI, and introduces the 'island change model,' a practical and applicable framework for guiding schools through transformation. This episode is an inspiring look at how education can evolve to meet the needs of the future by focusing on adaptability, empathy, and creativity.

If assessments measured how a student is smart, not if a student is smart, our education system would be in a better place. That’s the future Sonn Sam and Big Picture Learning are building towards. And they already have examples of it working. In this conversation, we do a deep dive into learner-centered assessment. We talk about the resistance to it, but also about where it’s finding support with families and businesses who care about the future workforce. Learner-centered assessment demands change for the better. It’s a path toward more culturally relevant and locally derived education. And increasingly, it looks like the best path for the future.

Imagine if instead of having to cram for tests and sit through lessons, high schoolers could graduate by navigating six “passages” that prove their practical, creative, and logical skills. Fifty years ago in Jefferson County, Colorado, a group of parents and educators created a school just like that and it’s still thriving today. Melyssa Dominguez and Jenny Long from the Open School join us today to talk about their unique program. Melyssa and Jenny describe the “Walkabout” high school program. They explain each of the six “passages” and show how the model is supported by an advisory system and authentic evaluation process. Not only do Open School’s Walkabout graduates get eagerly accepted by colleges and universities, but the skills the students develop during their “passages” make them more likely to finish their diplomas than the national average. Listen in to learn what aspects of “Walkabout” you can apply to your own learning environment.

Dr. Keeanna Warren, CEO of Purdue Polytechnic High School, says her school is a school without walls. She means that metaphorically of course, but it did physically come to fruition through a student project at one point. Dr. Keeanna Warren joins us on the show today to explain. Purdue Polytechnic High School is a school without walls in the sense that it has strong relationships with industry partners. Industry partners are always welcomed in the school and students are always going out to industry partner sites. But it’s also a school without walls –or at least a few less walls– because a few years ago students successfully advocated tearing down some of the classroom walls that were hindering learning. That’s the essence of Purdue Polytechnic High School. They empower their students to engage in real world problems and have their voices heard. Tune in to hear all the details from Dr. Keeanna Warren.
