Overthrowing Education

by Batsheva Frankel Education Podcast Network
36

Batsheva Frankel presents an edgy and entertaining educational podcast for teachers, students, parents, administrators and anyone else who cares about the state of education. While it is playful and fun, I also address the revolutionary changes that are happening and need to happen to create more meaningful and engaging education. We’ll celebrate students, educators, and schools who are getting it right and give tools and guidance for inspiring everyone else. Each episode starts with a fauxmercial - a commercial parody for fake educational products we wish were real. And every interview ends with the guest playing The 5-Minute Game Show which is written specifically for the topic and guest of each episode. Who knew that revolutionizing schools could be so fun?

    Refreshing and intriguing
    I love the quirky and fun bookends (fauxmercials and game show) in each episode. It's so refreshing to listen to you having fun while also digging into meaningful ways to create change in education. I'm a fan!!!

    So much to offer
    Overthrowing Education not only provides great ideas you can immediately implement, but has a lighthearted faux-mercial and game show. Batsheva has so much to offer!
  • Randomdude who games

  • mskerrygraham
    Just right
    This podcast’s balance of lighthearted and substantive captures exactly how I feel about my job as an educator. I can’t wait to keep listening.
  • Clement Townsend
    Truly Forward Thinking
    This show does an amazing job of promoting forward thinking ideas of how schools can adapt to modern society. So many of the teaching methods used are archaic and this podcast does a great job of challenging those models. I enjoy the guests and the conversation. I am a firm believe that all student voices need to be heard.
  • Frans2bama
    The show for people who would like to see education reimagined
    Great show to see all elements of education and how they could be organized differently to reach better results
  • Acoustician
    Feels local and improtant, totally relevant to teaching
    This show keeps it real on teaching, relative, and impactful messages are delivered regularly.
  • AvivaVancouver
    Excellent!
    Batsheva Frankel is an excellent interviewer who brings so much creativity and experience to the show. The faux-mercials and 5 minute game show are fantastic, but be warned: you might shout out your guesses in a public place and get weird looks!
  • Traci Nicole Smith
    Love
    Punctuating the grave state of education with a funky edge, this podcast lifts your mood while respecting the urgency of reforming public education. Entertaining and uplifting yet poignant.
  • Rachel. H.
    Inspiring
    Thank you for inspiring me to be a better teacher and parent with each episode.
  • SashaHLA
    Love this!
    As a former “bad student” I love that there’s a podcast to help teachers connect better with their students. Great show!
  • BT_UES
    Great Ideas
    Awesome education podcast! As a former teacher, it’s inspiring to see that there are disrupters out there. Education is a cornerstone to an equitable society and full life.
  • Kidwritersla
    Exciting!!
    I really love the ideas discussed. Reminds me some of the unschooling moving. Sean Michael Morris’ ideas about teaching and grading young writers really resonates! Bat Sheva is an inspiring educator. I wish she had been my high school English teacher:) Will listen to all episodes and happily anticipate new ones.
  • ColorMonte
    Fun and engaging!
    This podcast series on new approaches to education is really fun and engaging. Just like education should be. Each episode keeps getting better. The host doesn’t just interview her innovative guests, she interacts and offers her vast experience which really enhances the discussions. The topics are interesting at a conceptual level, but the host always challenges the guest to provide practical and relatable specific ways to implement the ideas. I love the “sponsored commercials” and game show included in each episode. I have a long commute to work, and Overthrowing Education makes the time fly by. I wish my teachers tried these concepts when I was in school. Can’t wait until the next episode!
  • Mulberrypiestudio

  • Daph34
    Fantastic!
    Very informative but you gotta listen to the commercials. Hilarious!
  • Monjundi
    Timely!
    Overthrowing Education is exactly what we need in 2019 - a podcast that questions the fundamentals of the educational decisions we've been making for decades as a society. It's well structured, engaging and playful. Nicely done!
