Schools are farms not factories
the podcast
Heather Wells is the principle of a Co Ed 4-18 Independent College in a very traditional education context and a struggling economy. She trained and started her career in the UK as teacher and school administrator with a specialization in management in Education and in Special and Inclusive Education.
​
Heather believes education is about learning for tomorrow not just for exams and where individuals are seen and heard, where learning to learn is a process and individual skills and talents are recognized and exploited.
I asked Heather:
-
just how possible she believes it is for Wonderfully Wired kids to thrive in conventional schools.
-
What shifts she believes teachers and schools can make to really foster inclusive classrooms
-
and how she would encourage parents of Wonderfully Wired kids go about advocating for their kids.
