Brent Goldman joins LinkedUp this week to discuss his 26-year-long journey to pioneer innovative private schools. Focusing on the unique needs of today’s learners, Brent shares his experiences with personalized learning—based on real learning, not just time spent in seats or testing standards—and how to create productive hybrid learning centers.

In this episode, Jerri and Jamie link up with Grayson McKinney and Zach Rondot—two elementary school teachers using technology to transform learning with a little help from Project Based Learning (PBL). McKinney and Rondot share their insights, expertise, and process for creating classrooms where students learn from experts, then become experts and share their learning with an authentic audience.

Sharing his own experiences as a higher-ed administrator, Dr. McCoy focuses on the changing landscape of higher education and the innovations needed to retain students and revolutionize education to meet the needs of today’s learners.
