Ask the Kids

What could we learn about school if we actually asked the kids experiencing it? Ask the Kids asks students the questions adults usually answer for them. What is school for? Do they feel prepared for life after school? What is it like growing up with AI? Every episode, we feature a kid from a school that tries to be a place kids love, and we unpack the decisions that got them there. Award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson, co-author of The Disengaged Teen with Rebecca Winthrop, and Jenee Henry Wood, Chief Learning and Communications Officer at Transcend and co-author of Extraordinary Learning for All, will co-host and talk with different students in each episode. Ask the Kids is a production of Transcend, partnering with communities to design learning that's rigorous, relevant, and joyful for all. The podcast is supported by the Overdeck Family Foundation and produced by Consciously Produced.
