Join Jackie and JW Wilson, author of Cracking the Learning Code and Executive Director of The Learning Code Institute, for Part 1 of their discussion on learning, and succeeding within the educational system. In this episode, JW tells us his side of the story; what it was like growing up “learning challenged” and then becoming an expert in how we learn and how the system can be so much better.
This discussion is super packed with all kinds of interesting myth-busting facts around education and learning.
