Matt Bowman is the founder and CEO of OpenED, an educational platform which has served over 100,000 students nationwide. After teaching sixth grade and watching his own five children struggle with standardized education, Matt left a successful career as a tech executive to solve a problem close to his heart: “why does school force every unique child into the same mold for over 15 years?” Open ED, formerly my Tech High, has partnered with public and charter schools to offer families unprecedented flexibility in choosing what, when and how their children learn. In our discussion, Matt and I talk about how he came to start OpenED, how it’s grown, and writing his new book, "Open Education: The Process.” For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode145 .
