How do we build 'future ready' students? Answering this question requires us to change a lot of the underlying structures that govern schools.

Schedules. Curriculum. Learning Experiences. Age groupings.

What if you could start from scratch and build from the ground up?

That's exactly what Cameron Fox, Head of School at Verso International School did to build future ready 'citizen designers.'

In this episode, Cameron unveils the 🪄 magic and teaches us how to:

Craft a simple, yet aspirational vision for learning experiences
Co-design spaces that allow for them to flourish
Ditch the traditional timetable in favor of longer learning blocks that allow for deeper learning and human-centered design
Build 'future ready' skills in students
Transform your classroom/school into a public exhibition space for their work
