From Knowledge Transfer to Human Development Jane Shore

Listen to the latest edition of Education Perspectives

Welcome to Education Perspectives! In this episode, we sit down with Jane R. Shore, founder of the School of Thought and author of "People Based Learning: The Future of Learning is Human." Jane shares her journey from childhood memories of open doors and communal conversations to pioneering educational models that center human connection and development. Together, we explore why education is foundational to society, how real learning is rooted in relationships, and why measuring success in schools should go beyond traditional rubrics to capture lasting impact. Jane introduces the concept of “people based learning,” explains its three pillars—connect, reflect, and affect—and reveals how her research and new book are uncovering the power of learning with and through others. If you’re curious about reimagining education for the human era, building true community in schools, and designing meaningful, inclusive learning, you won’t want to miss this deeply insightful conversation.
