In order to truly change education we have to change the "grammar" of schooling. Jeff Hopkins joins us to discuss how he has applied this idea to the Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry, and provides insights on what transformation in teaching and learning really looks like.
In this week's episode, Rod and Jal are joined by Jeff Hopkins, Founder and Principal Educator at the Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry in British Colombia, Canada. Jeff has been an educator since 1993 and has experience as a teacher of English, English Literature, Social Studies, History, Psychology, Physics, Math, and Independent Directed Studies blending almost every discipline.
Throughout the conversation topics include the idea of constructivism; how we can change the "grammar" of schooling; trying to define transformation so people know what it looks like, and Jeff shares success stories and lessons learned from his experience with PSII.
