Thales Academy is unique among classical schools thanks to founder, Robert "Bob" Luddy. Thales incorporates many ideas and principles from Bob's experience in leading and founding new business ventures, chief, amongst them being the idea of "Kaizen."

Kaizen is a Japanese business and engineering philosophy that emphasizes a process of continuous self-improvement. That is, kaizen is about inculcating a desire to improve products, decrease waste and inefficiency, and create more value for the consumer.

In this episode, Winston Brady and Keller Moore talk about Kaizen and how it applies to classical education and how classical teachers can work it into their classes each day.

That way, teachers are making the best use of class time, creating better outcomes for students, and using every moment of class time to the best extent that they can.
