Key Takeaways: 02:19 Clark and how he got connected with the Sandefers and Acton. 06:08 Do schools Overcontrol Learners instead of Allowing and Trusting them to go with things? 18:19 What is Short Sims? 40:29 Why should you look for alternative schools? 50:44 Metaphor on Conventional School versus Short SIM Quotes: "You want to trust kids as long as possible to pick them up on their own. But at some point do need to guide them towards it." "I hope we get to a point where you can take college classes more easily virtually and be on the same fund and only the ones that you want and not the ones that you don't want and put together your degree." "The other thing to recognize increasingly is that entrepreneurship is the new college degree." "And it turns out all these important skills that we're talking about, like leadership, stewardship, relationship, management, innovation, creativity, security- all these are not linear at all." "The goal of education is to find out what you're really good at, find out what you care a lot about, and then figure out how to connect the two." "One great way for anyone over 12 or 13 years old, to figure out where their passion is of whom are they envious. It's one of the great drivers." "Everyone needs to stand on the shoulders of giants that came before us. Learn from each other and then just start. It's an incredibly interesting way of changing ourselves and also changing the world."

Clark Aldrich is a legend in corporate training simulations and games for learning. And one of the few experts who can seamlessly move between corporate training issues, academia, and government concerns related to education and learning. And as far as I know, one of the only training professionals to be quoted by a former US President.Clark Aldrich is an American author and practitioner in the field of educational and serious games for education and professional skills. He has been the lead designer for several educational simulations, including SimuLearn's Virtual Leader, which won best online training product of the year in 2004 by Training Media Review and the American Society for Training and Development's T+D Magazine - the first game-like product to win.His published research, beginning in 1999, outlined the failure of formal education approaches to teach leadership, innovation, and other strategic skills, and then advocated interactive experiences borrowing techniques from current computer games as media to fill these gaps. He argues that computer games represent new, "post-linear" models for capturing and representing content, but that new computer game genres will have to be created, optimized for learning as well as entertainment. His research and simulation design work, which he conducted outside of the influence and prescription of academic and grant-giving institutions, resulted in a series of articles, speeches, and 5 books.

When that becomes the shared vision of schools, then it is preparing them for a lot more different kinds of lives including the ones that we’re seeing students have to deal with now.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Clark’s Books:Short Sims: A Game Changer - Preorder at Amazon for March 2020 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Short-Sims-Changer-Clark-Aldrich/dp/0367857421/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=clark+aldrich&qid=1575381554&sr=8-8Unschooling Rules - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=unschooling+rules&hvadid=80127002599272&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&tag=mh0a9-21&ref=pd_sl_7zp4fmv3sj_eLearning Online with Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds: Strategies for Online Instruction - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-Online-Simulations-Virtual-Worlds-ebook/dp/B002RMSZ4W/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=clark+aldrich&qid=1575381554&sr=8-5Acton Academy - http://www.actonacademy.org/Where to learn more about the guest:Clark’s Personal Website - http://www.clarkaldrich.com/Clark on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/clark_aldrich/Short Sims - https://www.shortsims.com/clarkaldrichClark on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taFU4WfGkEcBranchTrackAmericas - https://www.branchtrackamericas.com/our-perspectiveUnschooling on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Unschooling/Where to learn more about Enrollhand:Website: www.enrollhand.comOur webinar: https://webinar-replay.enrollhand.comOur free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/schoolgrowth/You can always reach out by emailing hello@enrollhand.com
