<p>In this episode, expect to learn about what to look for when choosing a school for your kid. Hannah breaks down the difference between “Institutional” and “child-centric” education and how the latter often leads to improved academic outcomes for children. She also explores how child-centric education utilizes technology and AI to customize curriculum, ensuring that students are able to learn at their own pace and avoid the pitfalls of falling behind that are so common in institutional education.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>0:00 - Intro</p><p>0:18 - Life Updates</p><p>0:46 - Exploring Education Options & Philosophy</p><p>2:48 - The Institutional Teaching Model</p><p>4:29 - Child-Centric Education</p><p>8:01 - Classic Examples of Child-Centric Education</p><p>12:23 - Customizing Education Through Technology</p><p>20:01 - Improved Academic Outcomes for Child-Centric Education</p><p>28:06 - What to Look for in a School</p><p><br /></p><p>If You Enjoy This Show Please Subscribe and Give Us a 5-Star Rating ★★★★★ and Review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hannah-frankman-podcast/id1695990727" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> & <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6z8yz4mxUFtLSHB7E4NU2z?si=f2aff93b340a4263" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned in this Episode:</strong></p><p>Acton Academy: <a href="https://www.actonacademy.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.actonacademy.org</a></p><p>Waldorf Schools</p><p>Montessori Schools</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Connect with Hannah Frankman:</strong></p><p>Twitter | <a href="https://twitter.com/HannahFrankman" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/HannahFrankman</a></p><p>RebelEducator | <a href="https://twitter.com/rebelEducator" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/rebelEducator</a></p><p>Website | <a href="http://hannahfrankman.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://hannahfrankman.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Follow along for conversations on education, lifestyle, personal development, and freedom.
