Dr. Ai spent 15 years as a college professor before quitting to establish Classroom Without Walls, an organization committed to helping teenagers and young adults develop needed skills to become career-ready, life-ready, and achieve a high level of success, whether they have good grades or not. In today's episode, Dr. Ai joins Jonaed Iqbal to analyze the issues plaguing the education system, including its stifling effects on innovation, how grades and exams negatively impact students and the reluctance of educational institutions to evolve. Listen in to find out how a student's purpose and personal connection to learning fosters motivation and the importance of parental roles in education.Timestamps (00:00) — Introduction to podcast(01:18) — Introduction to Dr. Ai | Journey from academia to education reform(06:11) — GPA, perfectionism, and innovation (07:07) — Steps taken towards disrupting the learning status quo (08:47) — The breaking point; leaving academia foster a disruptive cause(11:24) — Why 'Classroom Without Walls'?(14:32) — Approach to learning at "Classroom Without Walls"(17:55) — Key point to gaining motivation to learn; discovering the "why"(22:31) — Lessons learned from starting a business and approaching learning differently(25:19) — The importance of diverse paths to success and different career interests(27:45) — The lack of urgency for change in traditional education and its consequences(30:08) — The role of parents in traditional education and exploring different educational options(32:14) — Follow and support Dr. Ai's work Key Points - Dr. Ai left academia to address its shortcomings, such as the lack of intellectual spark in students who are conditioned to study only for exams, by starting Classroom Without Walls to foster genuine learning.  - Dr. Ai emphasizes that learning should be connected to personal interests and purposes, and that having clarity on one's values, strengths, and purposes can transform unmotivated students into passionate learners.  - The traditional education system is being forced to change due to external pressures from alternative educational pathways, industry certifications, and a decrease in university enrollments, highlighting the importance of diverse approaches to success beyond just obtaining a college degree. - The traditional education system often focuses on grades and exams, which can hinder students' love for learning and innovation. - Motivation is driven by purpose and personal connection to learning, rather than external factors like grades. - Starting a business requires investing in mentors and coaches who can provide guidance and support. - Schools need to adapt to alternative forms of education and embrace the diversity of paths to success.  Support/Contact Dr. Ai- Website: Classroom Without Walls:classroomwithoutwalls.ai- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aiaddysonzhangBooks and resources mentioned in this podcast: - Resume course: https://bit.ly/podcastpca Need career or resume advice?

The job market is competitive these days, to say the least. If your company has been trying to hire younger water treaters and you haven't had much success in the recruiting process, I have the perfect podcast guest for you to learn from. Her name is Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang, and she is a college professor turned entrepreneur, education consultant, and career and life coach with more than 15 years of experience in education. For most of her life, Dr. Ai has been teaching and because of her innate ability to inspire Millennials and Generation Z, she is uniquely qualified to educate water treatment hiring managers and business owners on what we need to know before we schedule interviews with individuals from these two generations.  Dr. Ai  founded Classroom Without Walls (CWW) in 2017 to normalize learning beyond the four walls of a classroom. CWW created a new model in learning that includes the elements of online learning (classes + digital mentors), certification earning, and in-person enrichment. Dr. Ai is also the host of the two live-streaming shows: Classroom Without Walls which focuses on social media and digital marketing; and What Is School For? which was inspired by Dr. Ai's interview with author and entrepreneur Seth Godin, and aims to discuss, debate, and disrupt education.  Today's interview focuses on how we should attract and recruit Millennials and Generation Z to work at your company so that it is a win-win relationship for you and your new hires.   Bottom line: Dr. Ai is going to share how we can attract and hire the next generation of water treaters.

Is school driving out your child's creativity? Is a formal degree the only way to a fulling or financially rewarding career? Is your child's degree making your child unhirable?   After fifteen years of teaching college students, Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang quit her job as a professor.   Kids are taught they need a college education to enjoy a fulling or financially rewarding life. But that isn't true! Dr. Ai believes we might be doing a disservice to our kids by telling them college is the only way to succeed or that college education might be making them unhirable in the real world.   Today's kids need permission to do everything. Kids are so afraid of making a mistake or not getting an "A" that don't try! They don't know how to think on their own. Our current educational system is driving the creativity, innovation, and curiosity out of our children. And we need to change that.   Tune into my conversation with Dr. Ai we discuss the loss of child creativity.   Read the full show notes here: https://conniealbers.com/school-child-creativity/   About Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang is an educator and an entrepreneur.

In this conversation with Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ziz and Pam explore the changing landscape of education. Dr. Ai, an entrepreneur and self- described 'disruptive educator,' shares what she's learned in her transition out of the classroom to 'real world' education: Start with the heart. Listen to what students are passionate about because pursuing their interests will make learning more engaging. Start with meaning. Ask, 'who are you and what are your strengths?' It requires interest, relationship and safely. If you don't have those three components, it's not learning. It is just absorbing content. Project based learning is the best model based on the 70-20-10 rule, which suggests that 70% of what we learn is experiential, 20% is social learning, while only 10% is formal learning. For transformation to happen, people need to practice, fail and learn from their mistakes. With the skills of collaboration, adaptability, and communication, we can innovate and create the job we want. According to Dr. Ai, the higher the GPA, the more obsessed children are with their academic performance, the less likely they are to innovate. Disruptive students own their opinions and feel good about who they are. Today, more than ever, we are seeing the need to disrupt education and redefine what it means to be educated in the 21st century.

Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang is an educator and entrepreneur. She received her MA and Ph.D. in Communication from Syracuse University and the University of Maryland in the U.S. Ai is the founder of Classroom Without Walls, an independent and progressive school that helps young adults become future-ready. She is also an Adobe Education Leader, HubSpot Academy Instructor, and SEMrush webinar host. Ai’s work has been featured in Forbes, Inside Higher Education, Pearson Education, and Mark Schaefer’s book, among others. Ai hosts two weekly live streaming shows, in which she interviews thought leaders in social media and education, such as Seth Godin, Mark Schaefer, and Neil Patel. She frequently speaks at academic and industry conferences including VidCon, Global Marketing Day, Global Digital Marketing Summit, Social Media Week Lima (the largest social media marketing conference in the Midwest), and others. Most passionate about For 10 years, I was a professor of communication and public relations at a few universities. Later, when social media became more popular, I started to teach more social media and personal branding classes. In May 2019, I resigned from my associate professor position to build my own school. That’s what I’m working on now. After teaching in higher education for so many years, I started to notice that our educational system is not really preparing children for the future. In that educational system, we are using a very old model to prepare our children. That hurts me as an educator. I love learning. I love reading. I feel like I can better prepare the next generation based on what I have learned from my personal experience as an educator, from the books I’ve read, the conferences I’ve attended, and the people I’ve worked with. There are many important missing links that aren’t being emphasized in the traditional model. Like, for example, digital storytelling—our ability to talk to the camera, talk to a computer, engage in a podcast interview, clearly articulate ourselves in the digital age. To me, that’s as important as reading, as writing, as sport. Our students are using technology at only a very superficial level. That’s how I started and was inspired to build a better school. School Without Walls The best education takes place outside the classroom. If we think about our students … they feel so lost. That’s something I hear a lot from parents, who are my target audience. They tell me that their children have no idea what to do, even though they spent a lot of money on their kids’ education. Students are learning facts and information but that’s not where transformation is going to happen. Transformation happens through applications. And most of the time, in real life, applications happen outside of the class room. We believe—the coaches and I—that the best education happens outside the classroom. A big part of Classroom Without Walls is utilizing technology and digital devices to break down the learning barriers. My official starting date was last year. I brought Google students to Singapore for an immersion program. It was a life-changing experience for the students, for the parents who came, and for the speakers. We cried every single day—tears of joy, tears of pride. Seeing the transformation in the children, in front of our eyes … it was a very emotional experience for me. I’m an advocate of taking action. I think that planning is important but how much can you plan? I had the idea of making the immersion into my school. From ideation to implementation, it took only four months. The next program will be a three-month program, including the immersion in Singapore. Dr Ai’s best advice for entrepreneurs I love this question! My piece of advice is to really get to know your customers. I made so many mistakes. I thought that because I knew the students, I knew the parents. This year, I’m trying to get to know my customers. What do they...
