In Season 1 Doris Korda discusses the core principles of her educational philosophy with Tim Desmond and Alison Tanker, her co-instructors from Hawken School’s Entrepreneurial Studies Program. “It’s not about what you teach, it’s about what they learn.”
In Season 2 we take you behind the scenes into Doris Korda’s entrepreneurship course at Hawken School to discuss the day to day of teaching a rigorous interdisciplinary course where students learn the critical skills they’ll need to be successful in the world.
Season 3 highlights the global community of educators implementing the Korda Method. Doris talks to them about their practice as teachers, the impact on their students and community, and how it is changing their schools and districts.
