Brad Barber is a former business owner who is now an educator who founded a school called the Tesla Academy. At the Tesla Academy, they coach students rather than teach them. We are an academy, not a school. Agnostic about the school kids attend, it just needs to be good. We can react very quickly and give support to kids. We diagnose their problems. Sometimes they take notes to impress someone else. When you get into the business world, you have to learn really rapidly. Why would kids want to come to the Tesla Academy? It feels so weird to do something different. There’s a generation gap in parents: younger parents totally get it. How to be a transformative principal? My model could really take off in special education. My model would work perfect with 20-40 students.
