Moving the Chair with Parag Joshi

Parag Joshi is a high school social studies
teacher and TEDx organizer. In fact, he was my TEDx organizer,
and in that way, our lives have become inextricably intertwined.


In this episode Parag and I discuss the state of the public
education system in America, what's changed about it lately, and
where it's going. He illuminates the process of creating and
hosting a TEDx conference, and of course, shares his story of a
chance encounter with lasting impact.


There are so many gems in this episode that you may have to
listen more than once. In particular, if you teach in any
capacity, formal or otherwise, Parag's insight on staying
relevant for your students is absolute gold.
