Nepris Co-Founder and CEO, Sabari Raja, talks with us about creating authenticity in project-based learning. Nepris is a web-based connections platform that allows teachers to connect their classrooms to industry professionals as a way to engage students in science, technology, engineering, and math in the real world. We discuss how to make professionals available in rural districts and areas, helping the 3 out of 4 teachers who have no industry experience support industry learning and the question, "how can you aspire to something you don't know exists?” In this episode, we cover: How our inherited network impacts our learning The benefits of connecting real world industry professionals and classrooms How parents play a key role in student engagement What our next iteration of education will look like and why experiential learning is critical EdTech resources for parents to explore SHOW NOTES: https://www.podpage.com/rebel-educator/11
In each episode of the Rebel Educator® podcast, I deconstruct world-class educators, students, and thought leaders in education to extract the tactics, tools, and routines that you can use as teachers and parents. Join me as we discuss how to shift the classroom, the learning environment, the mindset, and the pedagogy, to resist tradition, reignite wonder, and re-imagine the future of education.
