Ted Dintersmith on Building Schools Full of Purpose and Promise
🚨 Are schools preparing students for a world that no longer exists? I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Ted Dintersmith, the force behind Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice, and author of What School Could Be (with a new book on math coming soon!).  Our conversation centered on one big idea: the status quo isn’t enough anymore. 🤖 AI changes the game: If we’re training students to do what computers now do best, we’re aiming at the past. We need to shift from compliance and percentile rankings to creativity, empathy, purpose, and real problem-solving. 🛠️ Career-connected learning is for everyone: Innovation Centers across the country are giving graduates (college-bound or not) hands-on experiences in fields from cybersecurity to advanced trades, so they graduate with multiple pathways, not just one. 🌟 The change is already happening: Not through mandates, but in "bright spots” where students tackle authentic community challenges. If you care about reimagining school, I hope you’ll listen. 🎧 #EducationInnovation #AIinEducation #FutureOfWork #StudentAgency #WhatSchoolCouldBe -------  Follow Host Peter Stiepleman on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-stiepleman-76004819a/ Website: https://imperfectleader.com/ YouTube (video of conversation):   https://youtu.be/VkKiXpczSEAhttps://www.youtube.com/@animperfectleaderleadershi5144/featured Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/animperfectleader/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@animperfectleader  Follow Co-host Jamie Almanzán on: Connect with APC Leadership Collaborative for support in navigating complex leadership situations: https://www.apccollab.com -------  An Imperfect Leader is sponsored by IXL.
