Ready To Redo: Recent Episodes
Jo Yang
Hi I’m Jo Yang, and on Ready to Redo we’re mixing banter and lightheartedness with the juicy topic of educational re-doing. ‘Ready to redo’ unpacks how the traditional education system is failing us, and what to do moving forward. Join me for personal schooling anecdotes, and interviews with people who see the need for a redo. Humour enough to garner mild snorts can be expected.
New year, new practical lessons learnt from the classroom! Today I've compiled the top tips from my recent teaching placement, all of which help you become a better teacher

Prisma isn't teaching kids WHAT to learn, but HOW to learn.
It's personalised, practical, teaching essential 21st century skills, and basically solving a lot of what i've ranted about on this podcast! We're joined by CEO and founder Victoria Ransom to discuss:
-
How her own children inspired the creation of Prisma
-
Why learners' academic outcomes have grown 150% (compared to the 'expected' rate) DESPITE not having grades and mandatory curriculums
-
Why (and how) they carefully select Prisma mentors & coaches
And much much more of course!

If a student sees an F on their test, they'll think many things. One of them being "I'm a failure"... How toxic is that? Today's episode is all about psychology, conditioning, and ways to UNDO a student's beliefs around grades, enjoy!

Traditional education just ain't working, and Prisma seems to have just the perfect solution. In part 1, I chat to Emily Veno, Prisma's head of curriculum on how they're revolutionising the idea of school (while also being completely online!)
We dive into into their practical, personalised curriculum, and how they teach skills like critical thinking, ethical decision making and collaboration... makes me want to be a student again :'(

TW: This episode discusses rape & sexual assault.
Today we're diving into consent education with the incredible Yasmin Ilhan who, earlier this year, came out about her rape in high school. Rather than focusing on HOW to teach consent ed, we discuss the self-doubt and stigma she and victims experience, societal patriarchy, and the underlying issues of consent and assault.

Here's another random topic that somehow links back to our education system!
Hard selling is impersonal, overlooks the customer's best interests and needs, and practically turns them off from purchasing what you have.
The education system is standardised, overlooking student's interests and learning styles, and practically squashes any curiosity they have of learning...

Love me some passionate rants! Today's is practical vs theoretical work, and if you've been with me a while, you'll know which one I'm obsessed with. Honestly with the theoretical overload dumped on us in school, it's no wonder we're technically 'book smart', but can't actually apply that anywhere apart from a multiple choice test!

Well hello there! I’m Jo yang, and in episode 1 we’re unpacking the goals of ‘Ready to Redo’: To make school/education relevant and fun.
More and more, we’re seeing graduate students who have no hekkin clue how to adult after leaving school (cough me). Or the fact that during school, we’d rather play plants vs zombies than memorise dry material.
I’ve included personal anecdotes from my time in school - which emphasise the need to redo the education system.
