What $600 Million Buys You in School Redesign | Mike Posthumus
A school in Singapore just spent over $600 million reimagining what a classroom should be, and it's not what you'd expect.
Mike Posthumus, learning design principal at Fielding International, walks through how Singapore American School rebuilt its campus around a real learning model instead of the traditional "cells and bells" classroom design, and why that distinction changes everything about how kids actually learn. He also shares how a much smaller, budget-friendly version of the same idea transformed a public school district in Cranston.
