361 Growth Through Vulnerability: Self-Awareness in Education

In this episode, Peter and Alli explore how educators can transform their approach by embracing vulnerability, staying present, and bringing play into learning. Drawing from guest Jen’s skydiving experiences, they discuss how facing fear and being “in the moment” can lead to personal and educational growth. Key takeaways include the importance of self-awareness, allowing students to take ownership by “being lazy,” and the power of making mistakes as part of the learning process. By fostering a culture of fun and resilience, educators create a space where students feel empowered and engaged. The episode also highlights the Disrupt Education podcast’s mission to connect educators, organizations, and individuals, showing that even small steps can lead to meaningful change. Peter and Alli encourage listeners to lean into community and resources to disrupt education in their own unique ways, making learning a more joyful, impactful experience.
