Are you an educator looking to think, laugh, and learn, but have no more time in your busy day? The average American commute is 26 minutes long. Give us half of that for each episode, and we will leave the rest of the drive to you! Each episode will have six quick-hit things to know or consider, and a brief "peek behind the cover" of a professional book or article. This will include something you can "Use Tomorrow," even if you choose not to read the selection. Mike and Melissa are currently practicing public education professionals, with extensive and varied experience in the field.
In this episode, Mike and Melissa discuss a host of topics of interest to parents and educators and discuss the book, "Relationship, Responsibility, and Regulation: Trauma Invested Practices for Fostering Resilient Learners," by Kristin Van Marter Souers and Pete Hall.
For parents and educators alike! In episode 3, Mike and Melissa interview author Stephanie Malia Krauss about her new book, Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World. Also, Melissa shares some information about an upcoming education gaming opportunity, and Mike discusses the importance of setting a good example for our kids. The episode is longer than usual, but Stephanie's interview was just too good to edit down!
We're back at it! Ever wonder why we're prone to making certain types of mistakes, and what can be done about it? Check out episode two, where Mike and Melissa talk about Daniel Kahneman's classic book, "Thinking Fast and Slow," as well as what is now available on the Louvre's website, and whether increasing Civics education is a societal panacea. And, of course, a lot more!
Mike and Melissa introduce their new podcast, share their "three things to know or to think about," and provide a peek behind the cover of the book, "What if I'm Wrong, And Other Key Questions," by Simon Rodberg and published by ASCD.
