RE-RUN of a popular episode: You became a teacher to light a fire in kids — not to tick boxes. But somewhere along the way, the curriculum took over, the kids started zoning out, and you're left wondering if there's a better way.
Spoiler: there is.
In this episode we talk about why curiosity isn't just a lovely classroom add-on anymore — in a world where AI can write, calculate and analyse faster than any of us, it may be the most important skill we can nurture in our students.
We cover:
- What educators are really struggling with right now (you are not alone)
- Why kids who only know how to memorise and recall are already being left behind
- The human skills AI can't replicate — and how to start building them
- How to bring curiosity into your classroom without overhauling everything you do
