His primary interest is in the design, development, and proliferation of learner-centred and agency-focused schools and schooling, entrepreneurship as a means of creating new possibilities in education, the support of change agents and change agent work in our educational ecosystem, and the transformation needed in support of youth, our communities, and society. His expertise lies in education entrepreneurship, experiential learning, school design, change agent activities, and networking. Chis shares how the factory model of schooling has got is all wrong and why we must focus on adults as much, we focus on children. The idea of gardens growing across the worlds and joining them for a revolution in education by building networks and strengthening relationships is the key take away from this podcast. Every garden has green shots, and we need to nurture an ecosystem to create a joyful learning environment.
