What skills will students need to be prepared for an increasingly complex future? As technology continues to shape our society and our structures of communication, how should education respond? And can places of privilege foster equity and inclusivity within and beyond their communities? My name is Tristan Friedberg Rodman. This is Learned.



On Learned, we’re looking beyond test scores and college acceptance rates to understand how education can shape the future of our society — and what kind of teaching we need to bring us there.



Today's episode, our first, focuses on creativity. You already heard from Jodie Landau and Ren Bell, they're our guests today. Jodie graduated in the class of 2010 and Ren used to teach Theater Arts at Oakwood. We met at Jodie's home in Sherman Oaks and talked about arts education, growth through collaboration, and how to be a better listener.
