We all need to band together and advocate “for a very different kind of school, dramatically different from the schools we all attended and from the schools envisioned in most ‘school reform.’” So says Milton Chen, senior fellow and executive director emeritus of the George Lucas Educational Foundation and author of Education Nation: Six Leading Edges of Innovation in Our Schools. In this episode of Radio TICAL, Milton talks with Michael Simkins about just what that very different kind of school is.
