    Creativity: Why Compliance is Failing Schools
    Jan 5 2026

    To mark the first anniversary of the Fearless Schools podcast, we're excited to share the first conversation in a special two-part series featuring renowned educator and author Rick Wormeli. In Part One, Rick reflects on his journey into education and challenges long-held assumptions about accountability, grading, and compliance in schools. Together, we explore why experiential learning, strong relationships, and creativity are essential for meaningful student growth—and why punitive approaches often undermine equity and motivation. Rick also shares his perspective on the role of AI in education, reminding us that while technology can be a powerful tool, it should never replace teachers' professional judgment or creativity. This conversation sets the tone for the series and invites us to rethink what truly makes schools fearless: trust, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous learning.
