Free Range Humans is back for a second season, and Rod and Jal kick things off with a friendly Canada vs. United States school reform debate. Our hosts explore how the two countries can learn from one another, and specifically, whether we can apply Canadian reform principles to U.S. systems.
As season two gets underway, Rod and Jal leverage their own knowledge and experience to debate the merits of bringing Canadian school reform to the United States. Highlights from their conversation include: a history of Canadian reform processes dating back to Rod's work with the Ministry of Education in British Columbia; the influence of Michael Fullan; a controversial take on a new border design; the importance of building trust in all levels of the system; emphasizing the need for patience when attempting to make large scale changes; including all stakeholders in the co-creation process; and a surprising take on fast food favorites during the lighting round.
