Manage episode 313189284 series 3261379
Today, Maria is a guest co-host on Anette on Education. Together they take the opportunity to unpack education with one of their teachers, Seth Godin. This episode is for teachers, principals, parents, and everyone who seeks to create change in education including those responsible for education policy.
Seth has been outspoken about Education in his manifesto Stop Stealing Dreams, his TED Talk. He also published a course on Udemy called Seth Godin on Learning and Education. He asks the BIG question - What Is School For - and explains the difference between education and learning.
Anette and Maria prompt Seth to share his insights on the progress we've made thus far, the change we're creating today and most importantly, where we’re headed. The three of them interrogate the role of teachers and parents and everyone involved in setting up the education systems.
Seth is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, speaker, AND teacher. In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs in the world, he has written 20 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn), and This Is Marketing. His newest book is The Practice, Shipping Creative Work. Seth also founded two companies, Squidoo and Yoyodyne (acquired by Yahoo!).
Tune in to learn from a teacher who never ceases to amaze us with his remarkable insights!
