The NAIS New View EDU podcast heads into its ninth season seeking fresh perspectives on the skills and dispositions that students—and school leaders—need to thrive in a shifting world. As external factors like AI, global instability, and polarization continue to change education, we're turning to experts from inside and outside independent schools to help chart a positive, purpose-driven path forward.Co-hosts Debra P. Wilson and Morva McDonald dive deep into the opportunities and challenges that rapidly evolving technology presents for schools, and they speak to experts like Vriti Saraf and Peter Nilsson about how to approach the changing landscape. They examine how to make learning meaningful and neurologically enriching, guided by new research from Mary Helen Immordino-Yang and her team at USC CANDLE. Authors Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop provide insight into engaging adolescents in the learning process while caring for their well-being, and Eleanor Daugherty and George Abalekpor from Georgetown share how centering student voices and perspectives creates the conditions for thriving in higher education and beyond. Conversations with Jason Craige Harris and Kenji Yoshino bring in the bigger picture for school leaders this season, as they discuss how to grapple with questions about leadership, human dignity, and maintaining inclusive and welcoming environments in a tumultuous moment. And Jeff Selingo returns to help make sense of what these years of ongoing cultural and educational shifts mean for college admission and our students' futures.Packed with insights and steady, future-focused guidance, Season 9 of New View EDU is not to be missed.
