ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode of School Reboot, Courtney Dickinson and Sarah Zuckerman talk with Steve Seidel and Adria Steinberg, longtime education leaders and founding members of the Group School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Steve and Adria reflect on what it means to build a school around student voice, choice, trust, and democratic decision-making. They share how the Group School challenged traditional compliance-based models by listening deeply to students, honoring their lived realities, and giving them real agency in their learning.
The conversation explores how schools can move from control to consent, from punishment to understanding, and from rigid systems to flexible communities where students are known, respected, and invited to take ownership of their education. Together, they offer a powerful reminder that meaningful school change begins with trust, belonging, and listening.
