People are always talking about how they want the best of both worlds. Well, with this new company, KaiPod, you can! My guest on today’s episode, Amar Kumar, created a new learning environment of microschools that combines self-paced online learning with the social components of traditional school. He shares what led to this new way of school and learning and how you can be part of it as well.

After witnessing the vast difference in the academic level of his students and trying to find a curriculum that meets the needs of every student, he came up with the idea of KaiPod, a learning center of microschools that runs on student-driven learning. Amar describes what’s unique about his company, particularly in the area of learning, and how personalized learning benefits students and their motivation. With this teacher-led microschool, he shares how this can be a great opportunity for educators who are looking to move beyond the traditional classroom but still keep the connection with kids at the forefront.
