Ep. 526: Sparks Academy (Founder Interview and Student Discussion)

This podcast has two parts. The first is an interview with Julie Price, the founder and owner of Sparks Academy. The second is a very informal living room discussion with many of the young learners who attend Sparks.

Julie and I talked about the founding, mission and daily activity of her alternative education setting, and Sparks students describe how they direct their own learning.

Huge thanks to Shawna and Jerrod Hein for hosting me in Kansas and for setting up this great event!
