Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, venture capitalist and author of "What School Could Be: Insights and Inspiration from Teachers Across America" Ted Dintersmith talks with CBS News' Reena Ninan about education reform. Dintersmith traveled to all 50 states visiting nearly 200 schools during the 2015-2016 school year. Dintersmith says American schools tend to strive for "standardized mediocrity" by putting too much emphasis on standardized test stores and GPAs. He says the best schools he visited were innovative, championing purpose-driven problem solving and instilling a sense of purpose through the curriculum. He shares with Reena two ways he thinks we could transform our educational system. |
