In this episode we are speaking with Suyash Agrawal, a 16 year old learner from Edison, NJ. He has spent all his life in traditional, school-centered environments and has recently connected with what is possible in education through Education Reimagined. He strongly believes that education needs to be able to ignite the passion within every student. His passions are business and finance and intends to run multiple businesses that will have a positive impact on people all around the world in the future.
As a result of the conversation we are asking these questions:
- How might leaders provide opportunities for learners to develop their passions in a learner-centered environment?
- How might you engage the learners’ voice?
