Digical Education

Isaac Lewis is an Academic and College Counselor and colleague of mine at Valley Christian High School in San Jose, CA. Isaac and I enjoy having lots of conversations and has probably given me more feedback on these podcast than anyone else. In this conversation Isaac talks about colleges and whether students will go back if they don't open campus in the Fall. 

Lastly, he throws in a prediction about his beloved Dallas Cowboys at the end!

Tim Van Soelen is a professor of Education at Dordt University and Executive Director of the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education (CACE), and in this conversation there is a ton packed into a 10-minute conversation.

Darren Spyksma is Director for Learning for the Society of Christian Schools in British Columbia and is someone I've had the opportunity to have many conversations about curiosity and the its impact on meaningful learning.

Mitchell Earl is Chief Operating Officer of Praxis (www.discoverpraxis.com), which is a 6-month career bootcamp without the traditional college education. I enjoyed this conversation in particular because I work with high school students who are trying to figure out what to do with their lives. Praxis is an interesting alternative to the traditional college system, and I think you'll find some interesting tidbits as this is an innovative approach for providing meaningful real-world experiences for young people.

John Pottenger is the co-owner of Match Frame Creative and is working on a documentary about education through the lens of Friedrich Froebel called "Garden of Children" (https://gardenofchildren.org/).

SportsRecruits (www.sportsrecruits.com) is a platform I use in my daily work as the athletic recruiting advisor at Valley Christian High School, and I have found their mission of empowering student-athletes through their innovative platform encouraging and intriguing. I think you will enjoy this conversation.

I always enjoy conversations with Rob Loe who is in the midst of a transition from England to Australia. He really encourages leaders to tear up the traditional playbook and start rebuilding around the pastoral role that schools play in the lives of students, families, and communities.
