Rethinking Schools with Doug Lemov

Ravi sits down with Doug Lemov to discuss the stark differences between the education systems in the United States and the United Kingdom. Doug shares insights from his recent work with schools in England, highlighting how embracing cognitive science and implementing evidence-based teaching practices has led to rapid improvements and the ways centralized decision-making in the U.K. has supported this transformation. Ravi and Doug then discuss the reasons the U.S. education system remains fragmented and ideologically divided. They explore how this division has resulted in cultural resistance to effective educational reforms in the country and the implications lagging educational standards could have on societal progress and national security.
