Designing a bolder future for education

In this conversation, Derek Wenmoth talks with Jeff Wetzler, co-founder of Transcend and co-steward of BOLD – Beacons of Learning Design. BOLD brings together innovative learning environments from around the world to explore what can be learned from those already reimagining the purpose and design of education. Rather than seeking a single model, the initiative is identifying enduring principles that can inform transformation in very different contexts. Jeff and Derek explore what it means to design education around a purpose of enabling young people to shape a better future, bringing together rigorous academic learning with holistic development, learner agency, community participation and new approaches to leadership and teacher learning. A conversation about learning from what is already emerging, challenging inherited assumptions, and creating a bolder vision for the future of education.
