Too often simplistic arguments against educational change are that providing more opportunities for increased agency for young people (following their own questions, inquiries, cares etc) means less rigour, depth and intellectual stretch. Anyone who has been involved in these approaches in sustained ways knows that this isn't the case. However, the myth persists. This week it is my great pleasure to be in conversation with Michael Strong who has had an extensive career in many different educational systems and approaches, but with a fascinating mix of classical practices such as Socratic Dialogue and entrepreneurial skills. Michael Strong is one of the most experienced innovative school program designers in the U.S. He is the Founder/CEO of Socratic Experience (an online academy blending Classical and entrepreneurial education), Flourishing Adolescent Cultures Initiative at the University of Austin, and the Academy of Thought and Industry (ATI), a network of Montessori-aligned high schools with campuses in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, and St. Louis. His projects include Montessori secondary school program design for Montessori schools in San Antonio, Palo Alto, and Pleasanton, California prior to launching ATI. He also created The Winston Academy, where middle school students passed AP exams, and Moreno Valley High School, a Paideia charter high school in Angel Fire, New Mexico, ranked the 36th best public high school in the U.S. by Newsweek in its 3rd year of operation and continued to outperform other New Mexico high schools.  He is the author of The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice and lead author of Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems. He introduced the expression “Startup Cities” in a 2013 Voice & Exit talk which has led to a vibrant “Startup Societies” movement around the world. He is also a co-founder of FLOW, Peace through Commerce, Conscious Capitalism, and Radical Social Entrepreneurs. He serves on the boards of Radical Social Entrepreneurs and Social Evolution. He is the only “Michael Strong” married to the powerful and beautiful Senegalese entrepreneur Magatte Wade.

Scientists are very careful about throwing around words like 'breakthrough' or 'cure'—especially when it comes to diseases like ALS that are so devastating to their victims. But the past few months have seen an incredible sense of optimism around research being done by a team at Western University, who seem to have found a way to prevent the cell death that is the core of the disease.How did they make this discovery? How does it work so far in experiments? And why is this step turning heads around the entire medical world?GUEST: Dr. Michael Strong, professor of neurology at Western University's Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry; Arthur J.

We know that students' basic needs need to be met in order for them to learn and grow. Safety is at the core of this, especially as they discuss ideas in the classroom. And with this safety comes community, connection, meaning, and purpose, some of the most important elements of a school setting, according to this week's podcast guest.   Michael Strong is founder of The Socratic Experience, a virtual school for students in third through twelfth grades, and he's designed schools for students from Alaska to Chicago and beyond. In our conversation, Michael and I talk about why student choice is so important, why psychological safety matters more than test scores, and when parents should search for other options for their children.   Michael reinforces the message that I've been sharing since the start of this podcast: there's no such thing as one size fits all when it comes to education. And it just takes one teacher, parent, or school administrator to start the conversation to create change.   Tune in today!   About Michael Strong:   Michael Strong is founder of The Socratic Experience, a virtual school for grades 3-12.

There is always a minor effort to figure out the correct method to do something the first time you try it. This occurs when you first tie your shoes or glance at a word problem. It happens as an adult when you begin a new job or start a new activity. That initial experience is consistent regardless of the topic. When you start learning something new it's often very tempting to look for how-tos, flip to the answer, or Google the correct solutions, but that's not always the best approach to cultivate deep understanding. Michael Strong imparts his life's lessons, wisdom, and counsel to everyone listening today. Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn. After all, learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, and more! Quotes: “I am going to ask questions and figure things out. I know what I know, I know what I don't know and therefore I know what I need to figure out.” – Michael Strong “The best people respect evidence. And so, you need to be a master of organizing evidence and irrational arguments so that your convictions prevail.” – Michael Strong “What you have to do in every relationship is show how you are going to add value.” – Michael Strong Takeaways: Don't settle for being someone ignorant. Always ask questions and figure things out yourself and start learning.   The best way to convince other people is to present them with facts and evidence supporting your argument. You need to show what you're bringing to the table in order to maintain a good relationship with another person. Conclusion: It is beneficial to attempt new things instead of doing the same thing every day. People learn when they try new things and are exposed to fresh information. Some people are unaware that we all learn something new every day. Although learning new things is vital, the new content learned is not as significant as the process of learning itself. The mind is altered and engaged during the learning process. They will be exposed to new things, and their perspectives and thoughts will be changed forever.

Episode 222 (2 May 2013): In this chat from the archives, Michael and I discuss real teaching and the problems with institutional reform when the "powers that be" don't want to let go.

Michael is the author of the 2009 book, Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems, which includes a Foreword by John Mackey, the cofounder and former CEO of Whole Foods Market, with whom Michael has collaborated on initiatives related to conscious capitalism and entrepreneurship.

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Michael Strong, my partner and co-founder of the Expat International School of Freedom & Entrepreneurship. His experience in the education system is vast and varied. I've had the pleasure of working alongside him for about three years now, creating this amazing program for students ages 8-19.  In today's conversation, we will focus on expat families and the most crucial age for children. I'm excited to have him back on our show. TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL STRONG Michael explains what our school is all about and why it is so important to reach students, especially middle school-age kids, as early as possible. What happens when traditional government-run schools become boring and meaningless?  Parents ask Michael all the time. You run an online school. What is the difference in the dynamic when kids are addicted to online games? Are you not part of the problem?  What is the fundamental difference between passive and active education? Understanding the program's flexibility is vital for families wanting to travel and to ensure their children don't suffer with their education. Michael explains how our program is only for 4.5 hours a day, but the traditional school might be 7.5 or 8 hours a day. What is the difference, and how can that work efficiently? If your child is not thriving, take it seriously. Learn why this is vital information. What is the future for your children? Are they being educated on something that will not be around in 10 or 20 years, as government-run institutions teach? Or is it something that your child will love and be able to adapt for the rest of their life? The best question asked about ‘Free Education.' Here's Michael Strong's answer to that if you're wondering about the program's cost for this level of education. Homeschooling by professionals is how Michael Strong explained this type of education to me when I first met him and how I now explain our system.

Today's guest, Michael Strong, is one of the most experienced designers of innovative school programs in the United States. His projects include a public school program in which minority female students gained four years' worth of critical thinking gains in four months (on the Watson-Glaser). He later went into Montessori secondary school program design at The Judson Montessori School (San Antonio), The Emerson School, and Hacienda School. He created The Winston Academy, where middle school students passed AP exams, making it the most academically advanced school in the country at the time. That's just the beginning! In this episode, Michael and Ben discuss his vision, motivation, and origin story as a school creator, as well as the state and future of education. Michael is the author of The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice and lead author of Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems.

Today on the Expat Money Show I am going to replay a really special webinar I did last week with my business partner and friend, Michael Strong, discussing why mainstream education is destroying your children and how you can easily prevent this.  This is not a new phenomenon and I don't see it getting any better in the near future. With such a bleak outlook for our education system, it's time parents took control of the situation to provide the very best education available today.   IN TODAY'S EPISODE WE DISCUSS… How problems with today's brick and mortar schools, like masking, bullying and the woke culture are defeating the true nature of our children and what you can do to eliminate this kind of behaviour. Listen as Michael explains ideas of entrepreneurship and economic freedom and how your children can become great believers in peace and prosperity. Why a statement like ‘capitalism makes the rich richer and the poor poorer' is so absurd. Learn what capitalism really is, and why it's so important for our children's future. Michael and I discuss what teaching real history looks like, not what government-run schools demand their students to learn. It's very sad. How censorship is destroying your child, and if nothing is done to correct this, why they will likely never recover from it. Is your child learning real skills that will help her to be the best adult she can be? Listen to why this is more important now than ever before. What Socratic is, why it's vitally important for your children's education, and most importantly, why our school is based on this premise. Catastrophic statistics for school-aged adolescents in the United States are off the charts. You will not believe these numbers, they are crazy!    RELATED EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/best-foreign-language-learning-techniques-strategies-and-methods-for-shortcutting-your-language-learning-journey (169: Best Foreign Language Learning Techniques, Strategies, And Methods For Shortcutting Your Language Learning Journey ) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/webinar-expat-international-school (163: Expat International School ) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/michael-strong/ (115: The Solution To Educating Your Children Abroad – Michael Strong)   REACH OUT TO OUR SCHOOL https://expatschool.io/ (Expat International School of Freedom & Entrepreneurship ) Schedule A Call today.   CONCLUSION I absolutely love interacting with Michael on what he knows best, and that's education. After 30+ years in the education field and a firm background in free-market enterprise, he knows and understands how to help children grow into healthy, happy, productive adults. If you have school-aged children, know parents that are not happy with their current education system or are grandparents with those same thoughts, please contact me or Michael today. The longer your child is part of government-run schools, the more harm is done.

Our goal is rich intellectual dialogue.” “The school game is so much about following rules and it's doing what the teacher tells you.” “But, you know, in Socratic, as soon as you (as a teacher) start hoping that they'll (children) come up with a certain answer. Totally. You've ruined it. You've just ruined it. “ “Personal identity is not just tattoos and piercings or what clothes you wear. The most important kind of personal identity consists of what kind of convictions do we have? What do we stand for?” “I think love, curiosity, empathy, conquers all, and victim oppression is never a healthy dynamic.” https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelstrong1/ https://www.linkedin.com/school/expanseonline/ The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice
