About this episode

The episode explores how redesigning the school day around experiences rather than traditional classes can enhance learning and community engagement.

What if the biggest disruption in education isn't AI... but how we design the school day? In this follow up episode, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl unpack one of the most talked about conversations in Disrupt Education Podcast history with Jason Walke and his groundbreaking Mission Mondays model. From students who actually look forward to Mondays to teachers finding more instructional time, stronger community partnerships, and unforgettable learning experiences, this conversation explores what happens when schools prioritize experiences over seat time. Peter and Alli discuss why students remember experiences instead of worksheets, how AI makes human centered learning even more valuable, and why communities should play a bigger role in education than ever before. If you're an educator, administrator, parent, policymaker, or community leader wondering what the future of school could look like, this episode will challenge the way you think about learning.
