Summary

How can we unlock every child's potential? What would it take for every student to learn successfully at school and be well prepared for their future? How does schooling itself leave some students behind?

Internationally recognized education adviser Geoff Masters AO challenges what most of us take for granted about learning at school and lifts the lid on vast differences in students' performances and needs within each grade. Listeners are invited to consider an alternative way of organizing learning—one that is focused on meeting individual learners where they are and that is built on an understanding of learning as long-term growth. Masters makes a case for reforming school learning systems to better target individuals' differing needs, to give all students the time they require to learn, and to build every student's confidence in their capacity for success.

A must-listen for teachers, parents, and anybody interested in how schooling needs to change.
