Since 2018, the Human Restoration Project Podcast has reimaged education through critical, progressive, human-centered learning!
Across nearly 200 episodes, and counting, we've explored every topic in education: ungrading and alternative assessment, interdisciplinary play-based and project-based learning, SEL, education reforms and systemic school change in society with students, teachers, leaders, researchers, and advocates around the world.
Join us on our mission to restore humanity to education, together!
