The Learning Ground
The Learning Ground Hosted by Dr. Paul Massy and Dr. Valora Richardson Innovation is everywhere in education—new tools, new platforms, and constant promises of transformation. But beneath all of it lies a deeper question: what is innovation grounded in? The Learning Ground is a podcast about the foundation beneath the future of learning. Hosted by Dr. Paul Massy and Dr. Valora Richardson, each episode explores how meaningful change in education must be rooted in strong pedagogy, clear purpose, and human connection. Through thoughtful conversations, the hosts examine the difference between innovation that is driven by technology and innovation that grows from the realities of how people actually learn. From AI in the classroom to institutional strategy, they challenge assumptions, surface critical questions, and keep the focus where it belongs—on people. With signature segments like Shifts in the Ground, Ground Check, and Who’s in the Room, the podcast invites educators, leaders, and innovators to think more deeply about the systems they’re building—and who those systems are built for. Because real innovation doesn’t just move fast. It stays grounded. And it keeps people in the room.
