The greatest educators know that learning isn't about delivering information; it's about sparking discovery. When we ask the right questions, we don't just fill minds, we awaken them.

In this episode, Scott Barron, Chief Reinvention Officer with School Growth, welcomes longtime friend and education leader David Arrell, Assistant Director with the Ohio Christian Education Network/Center for Christian Virtue. Together, they discuss how the expansion of school choice is reshaping education and how the best leaders cultivate environments that nurture curiosity, community, and courage.

They talk about the importance of returning to fundamentals and guiding students to think critically. It is true that education thrives when curiosity is encouraged and leadership is intentional. When teachers, parents, and communities learn to ask better questions and inspire students to do the same, schools become catalysts for lasting change.
