Podcast Episode 015: A Shift in Focus–From Teaching to Learning

Episode 015 continues Season 2 of The Blueprint Schools Podcast where we’re focusing on shifts in education.

In this episode, Dana Kirchoff, founder of Blueprint Schools, interviews Blueprint Schools’ lead consultant for Student Learning (and her husband), Ryan Kirchoff. Together they explore the crucial shift from measuring success by how much is taught to whether students are truly learning. The conversation highlights the challenges schools face when focusing on coverage over comprehension, practical tools teachers can use to assess student learning, and how leaders can cultivate a culture centered on growth.

We hope this episode encourages you, sparks ideas, and gives you confidence to move forward in your own school and role. And we hope you share it with a friend, teammate, or fellow educator.
