Episode 1: Humanizing education with guest, Tom Mar, Jesuit Educator of Ethics, Theology, and Philosophy

In this episode, Tom Mar offers his perspectives on the most important elements of educating children in the 21st century, humanization. In most high schools today, philosophy and ethics are electives if they are even offered to students. While schools are hyper-focused on skills and achievement, students’ hearts and souls are often neglected. Skills are what we do, but philosophy and ethics shape who people become and frame their view of others and the world around them. Colleen and Tom discuss public and Catholic education models, what works, what’s missing, and why who we are as human beings is more important than what we do and the skills we develop.
