Have a Good Life

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.
