Rethinking Education with Michelle Compton

Written By Emily Miles

A conversation with mom, author, and educator, Michelle Compton.

SEASON 1 | EPISODE 90

This week I sit down with Michelle Compton, one of the most impactful teachers in my kids’ lives, for a conversation every parent needs to hear. Michelle opens up about her journey from public schools to private education, the mentors who shaped her, and why she believes childhood should be full of curiosity, play, and joy.

We talk about what’s broken in our schools, from standardized testing to one-size-fits-all curriculums, and how she’s built a classroom that looks and feels completely different. Michelle shares how Reggio Emilia, inquiry-based learning, and maker spaces are transforming the way kids engage and grow.

If you’ve ever questioned the system or wondered what education could look like when kids (not tests) come first, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
