About this listen
In 2010, Kathleen Jones and I, Giles Leeper, cofounded a charter school in Atlanta called The Kindezi School. By having just six students per class and splitting them into smaller groups, this school attempted to make tutoring a bedrock of its path to success, while only using the funding levels available to public schools. Kathleen became a teacher and I became its principal. So we had two different experiences of the school we started.
Did we accomplish something meaningfully different? Did we do something that could be considered a paradigm shift or “unleashing our superpower”? How much did Kathleen’s experience of tutoring at The Kindezi School align with what we’ve learned about the science and psychology of tutoring? Is it possible for you or any individual to do something truly transcendent by starting a charter school? These are some of the questions we reflect on in this episode.
