Elyse Burden - Rethinking Entrepreneurial Education

Ronald Beghetto talks with Elyse Burden about Real World Scholars and how she co-created an organization that focuses on giving students the opportunity to become real entrepreneurs and create Ecommerce businesses. Burden explains how entrepreneurship can be used to bring any passion to life, makie students excited about the learning process, and allow both teachers and students to move beyond the usual confines of a classroom. Burden tells listeners how important it is to disrupt the assumptions that currently exist regarding who gets to be an entrepreneur, what they look like, and what they can do. She imagines a future where students and stakeholders are seen as equal partners in the creation of educational journeys.
