In this episode, Carey Upton, Chief Operations Officer of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, shares his insights on radically student-centered learning. Carey discusses the shift from traditional, teacher-driven education to empowering students to find their own ways of learning.

He highlights the importance of flexible learning environments, the challenges of change among teachers, and the need to encourage all students to step outside their comfort zones. The conversation explores how facilities and pedagogy can work together to support more engaged, well-rounded learners.
