The Hero’s Journey with Jeff Sandefer

<p>In this episode, we bring you a keynote address that was delivered as part of the 2017 Education and Freedom Conference, featuring Jeff Sandefer, co-founder of Acton Academy, a new and innovative K–12 school that offers a nontraditional approach to education—an alternative to standardized testing and rote memorization.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sandefer opens his address by questioning the typical education model: “Common Core, standardized tests, control, regurgitation, [and] oversight—19th-century solutions in the 21st century. Perhaps this makes sense to some until you ask the question, ‘What if children really are far more capable than we ever imagined?’”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our podcasts</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.actonacademy.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Acton Academy</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.actonacademyparents.c...
