The best things I’ve ever done have been emergent- arising out of good conversation and dialogue with others.
This is the MO of Breaking the Paradigm; bringing together Montessori and progressive practitioners and letting the right conversation emerge- no script, no pre-determined outcome, just trust in the power of presence.
And was that spirit of emergence that led Justin Tosco, now a member of the Breaking the Paradigm Five Timers Club, to convince me to let him host our show and interview Kelly and I about our work with Breaking the Paradigm and Developing Education.
This episode was so special to me- in part because this is the first time that we’ve been able to fully tell the story of this work. While longtime listeners have picked up snippets here and there, we are grateful for so many new listeners over the past few months- and this is your chance to get to know us a little better.
This episode is also exciting because it comes on the precipice of some big announcements coming in January for Developing Education- so stay tuned and watch this space!
So if you’re interested in the behind-the-scenes look at how Breaking the Paradigm works, and how many hours of sleep I do (or don’t get) every night, check out this anniversary episode of Breaking the Paradigm!
Thanks, Justin, for being an excellent guest host!
You just heard another conversation that mainstream education won’t have.
The question is: What are you going to do about it?
Most educators listen to paradigm-breaking ideas and return to the same broken systems tomorrow.
But you’re different - you’re here because you refuse to accept “that’s just how education works.”

The traditional education system had its chance.
Now it’s our turn.
