In this Part 2 episode Eric interviews Kristin Whitlock, Director of Assessment for Advanced Placement Psychology at The College Board. Thanks to the Annual Conference on Teaching, this interview was recorded at the ACT 2023 meeting. Kristin shares her "retirement" details from high school teaching after 33 years of service and moves on to new challenges as the Director of Assessment for AP Psychology. Listeners are reminded that teaching DNA is in Kristin's blood; most of her family members are teachers (or retired teachers), and she called her Mom, who taught preschool for 37 years, the "greatest teacher I have ever seen." We discuss so many topics, including her Utah State loyalty, how the pandemic changed her attitude toward teaching, it is revealed that Kristin has a twin sister, and there is even a brief mention of the "pillars."
Get INTUIT with Gila- a podcast about Intuitive Eating and Personal Growth.
Every person who develops an eating disorder has a story to tell. Many people develop eating disorders as a way to show they have control over their lives. They may be in desperate need of attention from those around them. Maybe they just need something of their own, and an eating disorder is all they have. Believe me when I say, their are many, many reasons. Jenna joined me today to full pull about the development of her eating disorder and also her road of recovery. I think this is a really important interview to hear whether you are a human or a human raising humans, it is critical to know how eating disorders develop and even better, how to prevent many of them. But Jenna does not only share her story of perseverance through an eating disorder, she has been through many challenges through perseverance and strength and their is much we can gain from her. A bit about Jenna: Jenna Zelka is a high school Tanach teacher and School Social Worker at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck, NY. Jenna received her Bachelor's degree in Judaic Studies with a concentration in Jewish Education from Yeshiva University. She has held various positions teaching Judaic studies, AP Psychology, and has been the Director of Israel Guidance at Yeshiva high schools for the past ten years. She has even taught Taekwondo as an alternative to gym class for high school girls (yes, she has a black belt). She is committed to meeting the diverse learning needs of every student who enters her classroom and strives to deliver both spiritual and social-emotional guidance. After several years of teaching, Jenna recognized that many students were gravitating towards her for advice in their personal lives and decided to pursue another degree. She enrolled in Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service, where she graduated with her MSW and received her state license soon after. In addition to seeing her students at school, Jenna treats clients in a private practice setting on evenings and weekends. Jenna lives in West Hempstead, NY with her husband Aaron, and their three year old daughter, Samara. If you're interested in speaking with her, she can be reached by email at Spector.jenna@gmail.com or by phone at 718-551-4987. ________________________ I am dedicating this episode to all of the hostages- may they have a very safe and speedy recovery. I am davening for Hersh Ben Perel Chana to come home safe to his family, and for his mother to have continued strength to continue to make a kiddush Hashem with her relentlessness and love.

What if you can manipulate someone's behavior? More specifically, make them drool at the sound of a bell or make them fear whatever you desire. And no, I'm not talking about some crazy super-villain power…I'm talking about Classical Conditioning. In this week's episode, we discuss Pavlov's dog and the infamous Little Albert Experiment and what it teaches us about our behavior. This episode also features extra notes for AP Psychology students in preparation for the exam.

And why was the experiment abruptly stopped way before its deadline? Find out more in this week's episode, where we discuss the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment.

Florida Students Now Need Parental Permission to Use Nicknames, 'Alternate' Names Under New Ron DeSantis Rule, People, By Virginia Chamlee, August 9, 2023 https://people.com/florida-students-now-need-parental-permission-use-non-legal-name-7571342The Non-Prophets, Episode 22.33.1 featuring Helen Greene, The Well-Known Skeptic, Aaron Jensen and"Jimmy Jr"Florida students now need parental permission to use nicknames under new Florida law. Just another example of speech policing.This is not legislation, this is persecution. This is another example of religion finding its way into public life via government under the guise of parental rights. Just discrimination, repackaged and re-branded. It should disgust everybody, including Christians.Florida is determined to be Gilead from The Handmaid's Tale. We have seen their effort to make slavery seem like an internship while blocking AP African-American studies. AP Psychology is banned because it teaches that some people are different than others.Students and teachers are the ones that are getting the brunt of this. It prevents teachers from being queer supportive, preventing them from having an authentic relationship with the students. It destroys the trust that teachers and students establish with one another. Teachers have lost the ability to exercise their own judgment, they are afraid of getting in trouble. They're losing the ability to educate.Why should it matter to the state what name you're called? Under this rule, it would not allow a teacher who wants to respect their student as who they are as a person to do so. They have to call them by their dead name and use pronouns they don't identify with. It's not only a lack of respect, it puts that student at a greater risk for suicide.Societies don't collapse because people are transgender or gay. People have been transgender and gay all through human history. The reason we hear about a supposed trans agenda taking over schools is because the fascists want to use it as a weapon.The LGBTQIA community is losing basic human rights that we should all be guaranteed. It is evident that these legislators really don't care. This grab at a low-hanging fruit issue is one way they stay in power.Society is ultimately responsible, it's easy to get caught up in this game of pointing fingers, but we have to take responsibility for our involvement. This is happening all across the United States., draconian laws are preventing people from being who they are.Governments need to help solve problems, get things done, and not waste time and money persecuting others. Why don't we address poverty, or actually improve quality and access to our educational system?Governors and Presidents get the most attention, but they aren't as important as your legislators, they are the people that are making and passing laws.Instead, we pass laws like this.
From book bans to changing classes and educational requirements, what children are learning in the classroom will be different this year. “I think this is going to be a very strange year, simply because people do not know what's happening,” University of Central Florida history professor and News 6 Political Analyst Jim Clark said. “Teachers are unsure. Administrators are unsure. You have one district doing one thing and another district doing another thing and I think there are just so many red flags flying that it's going to be a strange year.” One point of difference this year focuses on AP Psychology. There was a battle over the coursework and any potential focus on gender identity which encouraged some schools to drop it right before classes began. Matt Austin shared on Florida's Fourth Estate that his daughter was supposed to be in the class and was stuck in the middle wondering what the school district would decide. “My kid has been like, ‘Oh, I'm in the class, I'm out of the class, I'm in the class, I'm out, what am I gonna do?' and this is after the schedules have already come out,” Austin said. This isn't the first class caught in the middle of the political debate over education. “Earlier we had the controversy over the AP History exam, which is still going on, so for students that want to take these, this is a troubled time,” Clark said. In addition to focusing on coursework, lawmakers are also working to rid school libraries of books that “depict or describe sexual conduct.” That means librarians must now inspect over a million books. Ginger Gadsden pointed out it's not just Florida politicians focused on the classroom. “There are a number of states, led by Iowa, that see Florida as the role model, and the governor there is an admirer of Gov. Desantis and has been copying much of what goes on,” Clark said, To learn more about the political impact on Florida's schools check out Florida's Fourth Estate.

Is there such a thing as being too obedient? In this week's episode, we discuss the famous Milgram experiment on human obedience and the shocking results it has revealed about our willingness to follow others' commands, even if it means killing a stranger. This week's episode also includes extra notes for AP Psychology students in preparation for the exam.
The title is only the start of Isis Fabian. As with a lot of people who go through self-discovery, Isis, along the way learned that she was neurodivergent and could be classed as somewhere on the Autism Spectrum. She also learned that she had gifts, some of which made her different than some of her peers, but gifts that helped her function well in society. I am always fascinated to meet so many different people on Unstoppable Mindset especially those who recognize how to learn about themselves and who put their knowledge into practice to better themselves and the world. Isis fits that by any standard. After leaving College Isis worked at a London think tank for several years. While there, she began seeing patterns concerning how people interacted with and treated each other. She finally decided to leave her job at the think tank and joined a tech company where she still works today. Now, she gets to work much more closely with people as a subject matter expert concentrating a great deal on DEI, (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). I will leave it to Isis to tell her story. It is an intriguing story and worth your hearing and pondering. As I often have said in these notes, and I truly mean it, Isis as an introspective and thoughtful person offers many life lessons that can be valuable for all of us. About the Guest: Isis Fabian is a coach, writer, and speaker focused on expanding awareness, decolonizing thought patterns, and helping people understand and express themselves in order to be forces for positive societal change. Fabian is an expert on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with nearly a decade of DEI experience, having spent most of that time conducting primary research on the US professional workforce and several global markets (Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Germany, Poland, India, Hong Kong, and Japan). Fabian's work in research has included nationally representative mixed methodology projects on a broad range of talent cohorts and concepts to develop a deep intersectional understanding of inequity and marginalization in the workplace and beyond. Fabian's areas of expertise include belonging, microaggressions, unconscious bias, intersectionality, equity, White dominant culture, engaging advantaged groups in social justice, women's advancement, mentorship and sponsorship, sexual misconduct, and generational diversity. Fabian has also spent over a year each with professionals in the following talent cohorts, interpreting quantitative data and understanding the common themes in their workplace experiences: professionals with disabilities, Black professionals, Latine professionals, LGBTQIA+ professionals, Millennials, women in STEM, and veterans. This foundation of nuanced intersectional awareness across identity groups and industries, along with Fabian's own experience being agender and neurodivergent, guides how they build accessible content on complex topics, coach leaders from advantaged groups, facilitate conversations about identity and allyship, and envision systems and cultural norms that create equity and abundance for all.

So Isis Welcome to unstoppable mindset. Isis Fabian 01:57 Thank you so much. Right? Thank you for having me. It's great to be here. Michael Hingson 02:00 We're, we're glad you're here really appreciate you being here and giving us a chance to chat and help teach us one thing or another. And I think that'll be a lot of fun. Absolutely. Well tell me let's start with you. As as a little Isis growing up or whatever, tell me kind of how things started or more by you going to school and some of the early parts of your life. Isis Fabian 02:25 Yeah, well, I was, um, you know, I was born two weeks late. So it was my brother I was I was a very big baby. I was always mistaken as being a boy. When I was young. My parents actually started dressing me like a boy because people would come up to them in the street and be like, hey, get get that dress off of it. That's not right. Michael Hingson 02:45 Where were you born? Where are you from? Isis Fabian 02:46 Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Philadelphia. Michael Hingson 02:47 Okay, yeah, that's a dress off that boy. Okay, yeah. Isis Fabian 02:52 Yeah. And then my parents had a brother who was two years younger than me. And then they're like, oh, we'll just keep buying her boy clothes, because you know, he'll wear them next. And that works out. And yeah, I definitely as a child had a very different relationship to gender, it was so much more fluid, I really thought I could grow up to be a father, I just, I didn't realize kind of all the ways that I would be perceived, growing up into being a woman, a female, and what that would entail. But I didn't realize there was something weird about me until I was maybe in fourth grade is the moment I really want to point to because we had to vote on school uniforms. And it was a huge elementary school. And I was the only kid in the whole school who voted yes, on school boards. And that's when I started to realize that that was when I started collecting facts about myself things I said, or did, they got a negative kind of reaction and started to realize there's something different about me, I don't know what it is, but it's not normal. And there's something about my brain that is different from most of my peers. And that was when I started to collect that information and start really manually observing other kids and people and putting together how one is supposed to act and behave in this particular society. Despite all its absurd norms. I have Michael Hingson 04:11 to ask, what did you discover and what did you conclude about yourself? Isis Fabian 04:15 Well, for a while, I just thought I woke when I thought I might be like a psychopath. That was before I finished my psychology degree and realize that it's not accurate at all. But I did eventually discover that I was on some form of neuro divergence, but definitely on the autism spectrum, although by the time I discovered that I was so good at masking that it would be so expensive and impossible to get a diagnosis. And I am so I really just identify as neurodivergent but what it's meant is I see patterns and very complex things right. There's a lot of positives that come with it. I was always extremely good in school. I got the best SATs score in my grade, even though I didn't really prepare my parents never helped me with my homework. They know anything. I remember giving them an algebra question for the first time. And the question he would ask, I was like, Oh God, you know, once tonight I do on my own here with school, but it's still all came very naturally to me. But the social side of things did not so facial expressions, and what they mean and where they come from, I had to learn all of that manually and adapt all of that manually. Michael Hingson 05:20 But you, you seem to have survived all that discovery? Are you still discovering about yourself? Isis Fabian 05:26 Yeah, I survived it, I think I would say the trajectory was realizing something is weird, realizing kind of the shape of what was weird. I collecting a ton of data, so that I can act not weird in most situations, appear to be a kind of successful social person. And then finally get to the point where I'm now discovering the superpowers that come with this very active, fast processing pad pattern recognizing brain that are now you know, additive and beyond what I feel like I I noticed my peers and other people can do, especially in the workplace, and things like that. So that's the phase that I'm now definitely still discovering. Michael Hingson 06:08 So what kind of superpowers? Isis Fabian 06:11 Oh, wow, well, for one, I never have difficulty understanding kind of complex systems. I'll give an example like systemic racism, for instance, right. From the moment I learned that, that that people who looked like me enslaved people who looked like my best friend, when I was a kid living in West Philly, I knew that I lived in a society where being white was the easiest thing to be. And I didn't have to have that explained to me. And a lot of neurodivergent people, including people with ADHD will describe this very easy ability to kind of recognize and understand systemic issues because of that ability for pattern recognition. The other piece is being able to encode a lot of information very quickly. So in a conversation or in a debate or something like that, I could hear a lot, connect a bunch of dots, formulate a response and give a kind of coherent, put together synthesized reaction, very quickly to the point that I was told it was a problem at my last job, and I sort of figured out how to shut up in meetings, and just just just bite my tongue for a few minutes. So everyone felt like they kind of kind of equal opportunity to participate. Michael Hingson 07:26 Just because you, you got it, and you're able to move forward. But yeah, I can understand people don't people would think you're a show off, and you're not trying to be a show off. It's just the way you are. But nevertheless, that's how they react, isn't it? Isis Fabian 07:39 Yeah, I just get excited. You know, and I got that feedback. You're too intimidating. And you really need to work on that. And that was really hard to hear, because I felt like that said more about the other person than it did about me. Yeah, years later, I finally you know, I've tried to think more in terms of impact rather than intent. Part of my problem growing up was I was seen as as very rude because I would just say things that I considered objectively true. Like if someone said, this is such a good picture of me, and I said, that picture looks nothing like you, you know, that kind of thing. Very bad. You don't get good reactions for that. But I was confused. I was like, Why does someone say it's a good picture doesn't a good picture mean it, it looks like you. So I finally learned that it didn't matter what my intention was, it didn't matter if I was right. What mattered was the impact I was having on other people. And if that impact is making them feel bad about themselves or feel inadequate, I finally decided that that was not something I wanted to be doing, and really shifted my perspective from there, Michael Hingson 08:38 you and Hermione from the Harry Potter series. Isis Fabian 08:42 That's, that's such a compliment. Thank you. Michael Hingson 08:46 Did you face a lot or any real discrimination growing up? Or can you can you point to anything that gave you that impression? Isis Fabian 08:56 I mean, certainly not as much as a lot of other people, but I was certainly you know, other than and marginalized for my my weirdness at times, I think being a white girl is one of the most difficult things you can be as an autistic child, because the automatic kind of communication style is passive aggression. You know, and it's so complicated for someone who has a literal mind and hears, interprets everything literally. Honestly, I was probably spared quite a bit of bullying, just because it was happening. And I probably didn't even realize it was happening. Like I didn't get invited to the birthday party that everyone else got invited to, even though I was closest to the birthday girl compared to a bunch of other people. And I would be like, Oh, it was just an oversight. You know, and I would really believe that and like when someone tells me Yeah, like, she must have just forgot like, even though everyone's trying to like, insult me or push me out. Like I truly would just take everything very literally and take everyone's words at face value. And so I probably was bullied more than I realized I had a lot of moments of girls trying to be mean to me or trying to say something to put me down and I just didn't under Stand what they were saying. I just couldn't process it. And I've just filed away for later than look back years later and be like, Oh, okay, that's now that I've learned the language of passive aggression. That's what that was. Michael Hingson 10:11 And that probably frustrated them more than anything else because you didn't react. Isis Fabian 10:16 Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely. Michael Hingson 10:19 And of course, the other societal attitude that girls aren't supposed to really be that bright. Right? Isis Fabian 10:25 Well, it's interesting, because I went to a pretty liberal public school, and I had a lot of teachers, including men who would say, you know, girls go to college, get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupid, or like, it was very in vogue at that time for teachers to call boys stupid and be like, Oh, he doesn't know. He's a boy. And like, especially male teachers, it was weird. I feel like it was a weird kind of brief moment in time. And that's when I was going through school. So I really, until I got to college in New York, and I started to, you know, really come up against sexual assault and that kind of thing. I had no idea I was at such a societal disadvantage for being a woman to be honest. Michael Hingson 11:05 So you went through school, though, and you certainly seem to survive and sound like an intelligent, normal person to me, somebody who's very enthusiastic, like Hermione, so there we go. But but you know, so you went on, and where did you go to college, or how did all that work out? Isis Fabian 11:24 I went to New York University. And it was amazing, because I had felt like an adult and a little child's body for so long. And I was just so excited. I was also six foot one, by the time I was going to college and eventually got to six, two, so I was treated like an adult. And I had to exist in the world as an adult, when I felt like an adult for the first time, I still had a lot of those social shortcomings in college. But I had learned enough from my high school experience about how to be a popular girl, you know, and so all the popular girls from the other high schools that came to NYU, all gravitated to me and we all became like this group of popular girls that it was such a weird time, because I had never been in that in that population before. And it was so looking back, I mean, it's very kind of cutthroat, place to be in. And it's, it's a little bit scary. But again, a lot of it what over went over my head. And that was really just the point of time where I kind of became an adult and then eventually really found the people that I wanted to be close to and have as lifelong friends. Michael Hingson 12:29 Did you find from an intellectual standpoint, though, the college challenged you a lot more than although you are good at detecting patterns and figuring those kinds of things out. Did college challenge you more with that? Isis Fabian 12:43 A little bit. Some of my classes, yes. Others I was like shocked at how much harder they were for some of my classmates than they were for me. But classes, like in economics college is where I discovered economics. And that was just a huge thing for me to learn, you know, micro economics, the way like tax incidence is calculated and how price elasticity works like these were all these new concepts that helped explain the world around me. And, you know, I took money in banking, I took econometrics, I finally had language and math with which to look at the economy in which we all live and participate. And that that was hugely exciting. It was challenging, because I took pretty challenging classes, but really, really exciting. Michael Hingson 13:26 What did you want to major in and be when you got out of college when you when you first started, at least? Isis Fabian 13:33 When I started, I was thinking psychology because I took AP Psychology in high school. That was pretty much the only reason and it was also one of those things where I had this inkling like I might figure out what it is about my brain. If I stick with this, and keep learning more about this. And I if anyone who's majored in psychology probably has had the same discovery that a lot of people with a wide range of neuroses and mental health conditions are psychology majors. So yeah, I was certainly among quite a hodgepodge of people. I did end up doing a double major in psychology and economics. And I came one class short of a minor in Spanish as well. Michael Hingson 14:13 Wow. So you're you're a pretty busy person. Isis Fabian 14:17 I guess so I'd love to learn still do. Michael Hingson 14:20 Yeah, there's nothing better than learning which is one of the reasons I love unstoppable mindset. I get to learn from so many people even though they're short hour long courses. Every little bit helps. Yeah, well, what did you do after you graduated? Isis Fabian 14:34 So after I graduated, I kind of fell into working at this think tank. I'd worked a little bit at a at a nonprofit in London before that just as like an internship. And so because I had that nonprofit experience, I guess I had and I've done a lot of research for that role as qualified for this role at a research think tank that was focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. I never heard of that before. It was just called Diversity and Inclusion at the time. And it was such a bizarre world because it was this company that had its own, you know, political hierarchy. And it was dominated by white women. So it was that same population that I had struggled with so much earlier. And I barely had the means to deal with at the adult, elite level of adult white women passive aggression, but I, I liked that it had a, you know, social equity component. I liked what we were helping companies do, we putting out research about these topics and consulting with companies to make leaders more inclusive and things like that, but a lot of what was happening inside the company, like a lot of nonprofits, we were not practicing what we preach. I think that's the case for a lot of people who have nonprofit experience, but that's where I was at being there for seven years. And that's where I really got the basis for my research foundation. Now, you said you worked in London for a little while. Not long at all. I was there. When I studied abroad, I had an internship that was one of those brutal parts of my life. I was doing my double major living in London, which I did not like, I did not like London one bit. And doing that internship. So it was very brief. Michael Hingson 16:09 Big Ben kept you awake at night? Hmm. Isis Fabian 16:13 It was just not I felt like someone I lived in New York for a while that point, right. So it was like it felt like someone saw London. And then they're like, I could do better. They made New York, they felt like taking a step backward. Michael Hingson 16:24 Well, still, I'll pop it you gain some things from the experience over there. I mean, you couldn't help it, I'm sure. Isis Fabian 16:31 Yeah, definitely. I mean, it's my first real professional experience, it was exciting to actually be like working on something that had nothing to do with school and nothing to do with an assignment, right? Like I was researching for larger projects and contributing something, it was a totally different mindset. Michael Hingson 16:48 So you went off, and you worked for this company for seven years. And then you left or what happened? Isis Fabian 16:57 Well, while I was there, I by the time I left, I was doing three different jobs. And you could not put everything I was doing in the job description. And that was one of the reasons I left I felt like, you know, I was really being taken for granted. And I was really being worked to the bone, I was having a hard time. But the bigger reason was after seven years, and you know, most of those years spent doing qualitative research, in addition to interpreting a lot of quantitative data on the, you know, white collar knowledge worker workforce, I was seeing because of this pattern based mind, I was seeing these tremendous commonalities across groups, you know, I was interviewing, between the interviews I did, the focus groups I did, and the big online virtual focus groups I did, I must have talked to 1000s of people around the globe, about their experiences. And I started to see these commonalities. But it just wasn't clicking for the people above me at this research organization, I felt like they were always trying to take the qualitative quotes or something and shove it into a pre existing storyline or pre existing story, whether the project was about black professionals or about women in STEM. And I felt like I was having this like mind blowing discovery experience with every conversation I had, because I was able to take all the information from that conversation and kind of aggregated, synthesize it but also file every story away in my mind to come back to for later. And it was a really incredible experience. And after enough time, I just felt like I'm not serving, I'm not doing justice to the people who are taking the time out of their lives to tell me these stories, by staying at this organization and continuing to try to put people into these big data, buckets and warp those stories to fit a narrative. So that was why I left I wanted to go work with real people and support people directly and be a resource for them. Michael Hingson 18:46 So what did you do? Isis Fabian 18:48 So I came to a tech company, where I am at currently working kind of as a just an internal subject matter expert, I do a lot of presentations, like I told you, before we started I was just in San Francisco doing an external presentation for our community of lawyers in our ecosystem on implicit bias. I just tried to make that content as accessible as possible for people, I really make it clear that I do not subscribe to 95% of what the diversity and inclusion industry does, because it hasn't worked or it has backfired. And I'm like when I see you know, the scared white men on my Zoom screen. I'm like, we're not here to shame and blame people. We're all here to learn and grow together. Because making someone feel bad has never helped them learn. Right? Like that's that's never been the case. Shame has never served to do that guilt has ever served to do that. And so I really tried to help people look inside themselves, their own intersection of identity, their own set of lived experiences, their own preconceptions, and to interrogate that in ourselves, I think it's really important to reframe, you know, the Diversity and Inclusion and Social Justice conversation is often said To shut up and learn, right? Like you have so much to learn, you have so much to learn. I really think it's a lot more to unlearn, there's so much to unlearn. And we're capable of doing a lot of that by just really interrogating our own kind of beliefs. Michael Hingson 20:12 It's interesting to hear you say what you did, the way you do that the dis, the diversity and inclusion in history hasn't worked. I mean, that's a very relevant way to put it, because it hasn't diversity, for example. And it's my pet peeve, which I talk about here occasionally. So hopefully, people don't get too bored. But disabilities are not included in diversity at all, it's been completely thrown out. We hear about gender, race, sexual orientation, and so on. But people don't even deal with disabilities. And my position is, that is so unrealistic, because every single person on the planet has a disability. And for most of you, it's that your light dependent, you don't do well when there's not light around, and your disability gets covered up by the fact that a light bulb was invented. And it's a very low tech solution, although we're doing better at making more efficient light bulbs, but still, power goes out, you're in a world of hurt, you know, for me, it doesn't matter at all. But nobody pays attention to the technology that that deals with your disability. At the same time, nobody wants to spend money when looking when I look for a job to give me alternatives that will allow me to do the same thing that you can do. Or people think it's so amazing how a blind person can use a computer. Why? You know, we we really just don't deal with true inclusion at all. And I will let people get away with saying, Well, we're inclusive, because we deal with women and race and so on, but you don't deal with disabilities, you're not inclusive, all right, diversities been changed. But disability does not mean a lack of ability. And it is a characteristic that in one way or another we all have, Isis Fabian 21:59 right. And people who wear glasses too, right? It's like great solutions there for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see either. And I think you know, when it comes to race and gender and sexual orientation, all these other categories that hasn't been solved for either these organizations aren't inclusive, to anyone if they were then anyone from any background would have that experience of belonging and an equal opportunity to reach their full potential and an equal opportunity to demonstrate that potential. And that is just not the situation that we're in, we actually did do a project while I was at that organization on professionals with disabilities, that was a global project. So I got to talk to people in Brazil and the UK across the US. And these are people like companies, you know, who have I don't know, if you I'm sure you're familiar with the federal government mandates, you must have 2% of people in your workforce have to have a disability if you're going to contract the federal government, and those are the companies right, once they get that requirement. They're like begging all their employees to disclose their disability, but they're not an environment often where it's safe to end for people with visible disabilities. You know, they're not even coming to work to that at that company in the first place. Because it doesn't have those, those inclusive practices. Michael Hingson 23:08 What's ironic about that is that 25% of all persons, according to the Center for Disease Control, have a disability. Why isn't a 25% ought to have have a disability, or they don't, but they don't deal with that. It's also like, when you're going off and dealing with government contracts, they've got this thing called set asides for women owned businesses, veterans and so on. Nothing for persons with disabilities. And it's it's it's ironic, and we've had mandates, we've had requirements, regulations, and so on regarding internet and website access from the federal government about the federal government since 2010. Yet, overall, the number of or the percentage of websites within the government that are truly accessible, it's not all that high. Right? Right. It's, Isis Fabian 24:02 yeah, and I always point to that, like, I, when I have these diversity conversations, there's so many people who feel like hyper competent on diversity or whatever now. And I always bring in like, where's your ableism? At work that when was the last time you looked at that, right? We're all at different places on these different journeys. And if you really commit to it, you get to that place where you see the intersection of all of these groups and those shared experiences and disability is one of the most important ones to talk about. Because even with the Americans with Disabilities Act, I mean, we go back not that long ago, we had the ugly laws. And now today, we have, well, we have a lot of people getting long COVID Right and realizing how difficult it is to be someone with a disability in this country. We also have restrictions on how much money someone who is on disability can have in their bank account and you can still pay people disabilities below minimum wage, like we're clearly a country and a government that wants to devalue and marginalize the lives of people with disabilities despite the fact that to your point, so many people have Have them in a study we did actually found that 30% of knowledge workers have disabilities. Michael Hingson 25:05 Fortunately, like some of the minimum wage things are are getting better like sheltered workshops that were required under Section 14 C of the Javits, Wagner eau de Act are. One, we're allowed to pay less than minimum wage, and a lot of that is fortunately, getting to not be so acceptable anymore. But it's just such a long process. And it shouldn't have to be that way. Isis Fabian 25:31 Yeah, I love the example you gave about light bulbs, the way I, the one that I give it, I'm sure you've heard this one before, is imagine if you woke up tomorrow, when everyone could fly, except for you. You'd be like, Oh, well, you know, I can still use the stairs or use the escalator or use the elevator, I'll get ready to go. But what about when they start taking those things away, and I build new buildings that don't have escalators that don't have stairs don't have elevators, because you're the only person who can't fly. Now you don't feel like there's nothing wrong with you, right? You just have been made to have a disability by your environment, it's this, our culture, all of us contribute to it. That's why I find it so fascinating people like oh, I've never even thought about ableism and disability before when every person participates in it to such a great extent, just by existing in this society and going about our lives the way we do. Michael Hingson 26:18 Well, it's really fascinating the way we look at a lot of things, you go into many places of business. And you can go into the break room. And there's this nice fancy coffee machine where you can get hot chocolate tea, 500 million different kinds of coffee, and all you got to do is touch the screen and you're in good shape. But they don't even much make machines anymore, with buttons that would allow me to have the same level of access. And there are some alternatives I can use, if I can afford them, or if the company would pay for them. Like there's a service called IRA, a IRA, which is an app that uses a we uses the phone's camera, and a Kinect with an agent and the agents are specially trained to describe. And they're very well trusted. So you can even use them to go over tax information and banking information and all that because the agents know how to read it and give you what you want. They're trained to do that. And they signed confidentiality and non disclosure agreements. So it's a really sophisticated operation. But at the same time, it costs money. And a lot of companies won't even pay for it. I know a lawyer in Canada, who wanted to use IRA, and she was a lawyer dealing with colleges and so on and at a campus. And fortunately, she and we helped was able to demonstrate why it was valuable for her to have access to IRA to be able to read documents, Ford disclosure and and for dealing with discovery for for court trials and so on. So she more than paid for itself. But it still took more work than it should have to make that happen. Isis Fabian 28:10 Yeah, absolutely. And there's so many people who just, they can't advocate for themselves to that level, they shouldn't be expected to, they don't want to put themselves in that position. Or they're told, you know, not to rock the boat. And it's just so many so many people who do not get what they deserve and what they are entitled to just to do their job. Michael Hingson 28:28 So for you, how does your neuro divergence intersect and deal with your advocacy and your your goal of dealing with social justice? Isis Fabian 28:40 Well, I think like I said, a lot of neurodivergent people or maybe I didn't mention this, you don't really have a passion for fairness. You know, we're very obsessed with fairness, a lot of us and I think part of that comes with having to learn all the rules of this society, right? You learn through trial and error. It's very manual kind of process. We don't kind of, or at least speaking for myself, I didn't learn these things automatically. And so then when I see injustice, unfairness, I just can't I can't just accept it and not want to participate in doing something about it. That's kind of where it started. For me. I was like, I can't What am I going to do go get a job in wealth management or something and what just exist in this completely unfair world where it's all going to be on my mind, I did think about trying to get maybe you get into senior positions somewhere else and you can advocate from there but it's just all I ever wanted to put my passion into and I see how our collective liberation is tied up into this right like ableism is another great example we are all suffering for living in an ableist society every person whether they consider themselves to have a disability or not the ways that we are expected and acculturated to hide. You know, the ways that we need help for instance, the ways that we marginalize and dismiss people in our lives when they fall ill and they need needs support. We've just normalized this, this marginalizing of anyone with any kind of infirmity, or disability of any kind. And now we have all these people with long COVID. And this huge population who are joining the ranks of people who are not served by this environment. I mean, it's just all of this affects all of us. And I use that also talking about like, white supremacy culture, and the way that shows up for white women. One of those ways is perfectionism. You know, perfectionism is killing us. It's such a big part of our culture among white women. And it's, it causes a lot of suffering. These are all interrelated concepts, if we could liberate ourselves from all the things that prevent us from just living as our full, authentic selves, able to participate, fully able to actualize our unique potential fully, we would all every single one of us be better off right men would be better off without patriarchy. And the foreman exists all the pressure that puts on men to be a breadwinner to, to not show you know, vulnerability and certain emotions, to not enjoy certain things or hobbies. Like there's so many ways that that that patriarchy obviously hurts women, but it's also hurting men. And so rich men as well. Yeah, a lot in herds, especially boys today, you know, I I'm worried about how easily radicalized they can be by someone like Andrew Tate, I don't know if you've heard of him, but there's a lot of these podcasters and the Insell world? And no, it's because they have none of these role models, because visible role models of positive masculinity, and there's just proliferate writing, you know, role models of negative masculinity. But yeah, I think once I've really discovered, I have a talent for explaining some of these things to people, I have a talent for creating space for people to explore these things and move along in their understanding and their own passion and activism. And all I care about is, you know, being able to bring that freedom and joy to other people that comes with being able to actualize your own potential. So that's, that's why I guess, you know, if I wasn't neurodivergent, I'm not sure I ever would have gotten to that place. Michael Hingson 32:05 Well, but you are who you are, and you do work to be yourself. And it's, it's unfortunate that sometimes we we are so discouraged from being ourselves where we're, well, people try to fit us into a particular mold and particular way of, of thinking or they want to think about us in a certain way. And when we aren't that way, they get pretty upset. Isis Fabian 32:31 Yeah, yeah. And my brothers. Oh, sorry. Good. No, go ahead. Yeah, I just the other, I guess, big pieces, my brother and his journey with bipolar and some really difficult, you know, life experiences has also been the other big catalyst for me. It forced me to let go of everything that was superficial and not important in life, and recognize how much of all these social rules and social success and whatever that I had learned how to perform, was meaningless and not useful, and not who I was not who I actually was. And so it took the kind of safety of that successful, you know, social existence for me to discover that it started shedding those things. But my brother's own difficulty, you know, with psychosis, he disappeared at one point, right, the beginning of the pandemic, we came this close to dying. And between that and the pandemic, it was really the trigger to journey inward to recognize what's really most important to me and to find who I really am. And the joy that has come with that is just something I want to bring to as many people as possible. Michael Hingson 33:42 I was going to ask you about your brother and what's what's going on with him and just learn a little bit more about him because you guys have in, if you consider what what's going on with him to be a disability, you both have different kinds of disabilities. So how does that interact? And how does, how does your journeys together been? Isis Fabian 34:01 Yeah, yeah, we definitely both have disabilities. And, you know, at some point he's diagnosed with bipolar is that in different diagnoses, maybe they'll change at a certain point, when it comes to mental health conditions like that. You're you just get to know the person and the conditions so thoroughly that no diagnosis is gonna give you more information than what you have, from your experience with that person. He's doing extremely well. Now. I mean, after this last episode, and April 2020, he went through this like a dark night of the soul in the middle of this, they had like an ego death experience. It sounds like what people have experienced on you know, extreme psychedelics, you know, and he came out of it and almost Jesus like version of who he was before. I mean, he used to be someone who was very antagonizing, very grandiose, very difficult just in a lot of ways. He made my childhood very difficult. At home, just he could just push me to this day, no one can get me to raise my voice except for my brother. And he still doesn't know he doesn't do it. And so now I just now I have a new superpower that no one can get me angry no one on earth. He's just undergone this complete transformation. And I'm so grateful. I mean, it's a miracle that he is the man he is today, given what a tyrant and a demon he was as a child. But he also has suffered so much. And all of that behavior, as it often does, you know, came out of suffering. And so, you know, going on that journey with him having to recognize that someone experiencing psychosis, right, which is literally you're experiencing a reality that is different from the consensus reality that everybody else is experiencing, or that everybody else would agree to. Going through that with someone and really digging deep to figure out where they're coming from and what's happening to them and not coming from this paternalistic, patronizing, you know, silencing approach that is so normalized in our society, unfortunately, as a way of reacting to mental illness and people with mental health conditions. I'm so grateful that our family has never stigmatized taking medication for anything. And he's been able to do so well, I think because he's had just the unconditional love and support of every person in his family. But at the beginning of this, when things really started getting bad, I was not helpful. I was very ableist, you know, I was very much looking down my nose at him and be like, Oh, I can't believe this is happening to me, you know, now I have a crazy brother, you know, like that was, I'm just being honest. Like, I have to be honest, in this work like that is where I was at. And through him, I transformed from that person, to the person that I am now and have a lot more humility, and I'm just very grateful for everything he is taught me whether intentionally or not, I've learned so much from him. Well, I Michael Hingson 36:45 don't want to give him ideas if he ever listened to the podcast, but now that he is the way he is, does he have a sense of humor? Oh, he's always sensitive. So So has he. So now when is he going to get you to raise your voice just to spite you? Isis Fabian 36:58 Oh, man. Michael Hingson 37:02 I told you so don't let him listen to the podcast. Isis Fabian 37:04 No, no. Honestly, he I can't even tell him about some of the things he said and didn't when he was younger, because it devastates him so much. He doesn't even remember you know, when he's when you're a kid, you're just and you're looking for someone's buttons, you know, you'll say whatever you'll do, whatever. Now He's so sensitive and so sweet. He's devastated to hear about these things is like, oh my god, I can't believe I said that to my own sister. I'm so sorry. I'll never make it up to you, you know? And I'm like, listen, listen. I don't need any apology. Right? Like who you are today is better than I ever hoped that tyrannical little boy could become. So please, I was very we're all good. There's nothing that you said or today does as a child that could possibly taint my experience. So if you heard the podcast, he probably wouldn't. I hope he probably. Michael Hingson 37:46 At least I'll make him. At least we can make him smile. Yeah. So you're six to how tall is he? He is six, five. Okay, so the two of you got to do great at volleyball. I won't go to basketball but you guys got to do great if Isis Fabian 38:01 you would think I did get recruited by our high school volleyball coach at a school dance when I was a sophomore. He was angry. I remember anger from the six foot seven man saying why don't I know who you are. But he made me come to a volleyball practice. It did not go well. It didn't go well. Well, it's just not. I'm not that coordinated, unfortunately. Michael Hingson 38:20 Well, nevertheless. It's another goal. Isis Fabian 38:25 Oh, yeah. I mean, now I'm married to a six foot eight man who played basketball, you know really well. And he's come back from a basketball game last night. He still plays it intramural and I'm like you better pray. We have kids, they get your your athleticism and not mine. They'll just become another six foot two theater kid. Michael Hingson 38:43 No kids yet? No, not yet. We actually just got married in September. We'll see there you go. Well, things to shoot for? Start your own team. But you know, I'm, I'm really glad to hear about your brother. And that's great that he's he's really become a person who's a lot more aware of himself and that you guys have a much better relationship. I would think now than you have in the past, which is so cool. Isis Fabian 39:09 It's awesome. And when you have a sibling you know, they all you went there all you have at the end of the day when you lose your parents like it's so incredible to have that relationship with a sibling and it's so devastating. It would be so devastating to me if I didn't have it. So I am grateful for him and you know, innumerable ways Michael Hingson 39:27 so you don't have your parents anymore. Now we do we do. Isis Fabian 39:31 They're getting old though. My dad's about to turn 70 Just you know, they were older significantly older than us and you know, they won't they just won't be around forever. So I just lucky to have a sibling at all, but especially one that I have such a close relationship with Michael Hingson 39:44 unless they spied you and decide if they're gonna stay around no matter what you think. Isis Fabian 39:48 Oh, listen, I actually love my parents and hanging out with them a lot. I hope they stick around to 120 that's that's good with me. Michael Hingson 39:57 Yeah, well I won't be 73 next month, I figure I'm gonna stay around for quite a while yet. Isis Fabian 40:04 Great, you're probably in better health of identity. Michael Hingson 40:08 I've been working with that, though, I will admit. So that's true. Well, so in terms of all that you're doing, with with all the learning and so on that you've had, and I know that you obviously love to learn and continue to learn. How is all that impacting or helping you in what you actually do today? And so, you, you, I know, you just got back from talking to lawyers, and so on. So what, what do you do? And in terms of your job, and how has everything made that possible? Isis Fabian 40:44 Yeah, well, I think spending seven years getting to do this research and talking to people from so many different identity groups has definitely given me more of a bird's eye view of these systems of oppression and things like that, and having to observe my own thought patterns from such a young age. And really, notice the way my brain works and reacts to things has given me I've now learned in the work I've been doing more recently, the ability to kind of bring thought processes into conscious awareness. So for example, one of the things I teach about a lot is implicit bias, right. And most unconscious bias trainings are not impactful. In fact, many of them backfire. And they often consist of listing stereotypes about different groups and how you shouldn't believe these things. But what I do is not just explain the different types of implicit bias, but really explain how they work and how they feel when they show up in our minds, and how we can deconstruct our use of biases and our use of mental shortcuts in our own thinking in our own minds. And I always give examples, right? Like I I'll give like 10 examples in a given presentation. One off the top of my head is like, I noticed one day as I was on a crowded subway platform going up the stairs that I didn't get out of the way for a black man. But I did get out of the way for a white guy. And I just noticed that it happened, kind of back to Mac. And then I realized like, oh, wait, what was that? Like, I had noticed that. And that's part of my neuro divergence is I noticed a lot, I noticed so many things in my environment, I noticed. And I just collect information. And so now I have the skill set to actually look at that information. And identify Is there a bias there? So for most people, you know, they don't even notice moments like that, but I use those examples, because then people might look for those moments in their own lives. And then I'll use others of you know, say, I'm interacting with a new colleague, and I leave the interaction with a negative feeling about them, or a negative feeling about myself, you know, we have the capacity to go back and, and reflect on that interaction, reflect on where that feeling came from, what was the triggering moment, what was the impression that I had of that person. And then to realize, maybe the person that I thought was arrogant, right is actually someone that I feel intimidated by, or I feel threatened by. And if they had been a different gender, or if they had been older than me instead of younger, or if they had been the from the same group as me or anything like that, I might not have had that reaction. But we have to take the time to actually reflect on those things to recognize where we might be relying on a bias or a mental shortcut. Instead of just assuming this, this false notion of objectivity. Nobody can be objective, even our visual world, and it's so hard for sighted people to understand, but the visual world is not an objective reality, right? I'm also an avid lucid dreamer. And so I wake up in dreams all the time. I'm like, this looks exactly the same, you know, it's the same. And I'm being you know, my brain thinks it's the same everything's it's real, right? I just in the middle of this book, The Case Against reality by a Donald D. Hoffman that deconstructs how, essentially, the visual world is just like a computer screen, it's just a way of interacting with a more complex system than we could possibly comprehend. And so we have this belief and objectivity you see with optical illusions and things that can trick you and show you like, actually, this is not objective at all. And so if our visual field isn't objective, certainly our thoughts and beliefs about other people are not objective. Michael Hingson 44:21 Something that comes to mind is when you notice something, like are you reacted to someone or are you You moved out of the way for the white guy and you didn't find the black guy? Do you learn from those things and you you have enough of an introspection in your in your body and your soul that you can then learn from those things and not do it more in the future? Do you have to analyze it a lot and then make a decision or how does all that work for you? Isis Fabian 44:55 Yeah, so it does, again, as someone who has been in constant self reference my whole On life to to recalibrate my behavior to be normal, I've just taken that system and applied it to recalibrating my behavior to be not racist and not ableist. And these other things, right. But what I've noticed is, in anyone who does this work on themselves, we'll get to this place as well, you just lose interest in more homogenous media and things like that. And you start developing more of an interest in different stories, and you start developing an interest in film and TV shows and books that are being written and produced by people from groups that you're not familiar with, because that's what changes in your mind this kind of implicit hierarchy that we already have there, right? For instance, there are so many people who don't know someone with a disability. And so where are they getting their information about people disabilities from? Right, they know they exist, so you must be getting them from somewhere. And it's not, it's usually from a very biased source. If you think about it, right, the more they make it up, or they or they make it up, but it's still, I would argue, coming from a seed of ableism, that is planted in our society, right? They see the handicap parking spots, and they see, you know, the way people are depicted in the media, they see the way their parents tell them, like don't look at that person in a wheelchair, don't do that, you know, like they that's, that's all data that we're taking in. And it leads us to have these these views. So once you realize that you have those views, and you're behaving that way, then you automatically start seeking out a much different world of media and entertainment and influencers that you're following, and voices and pod tests and, you know, spaces you go to and people you hang out with. And all of that starts to evolve and that on its own will also do a lot to deconstruct those automatic behaviors that we aren't as aware of, Michael Hingson 46:50 can we all learn to be more introspective and more self analytical than we tend to be? Isis Fabian 46:56 I think so I'm hopeful that we can take more notice of our choices, and ask ourselves why I made the choice why I felt that way. Another example I gave was, um, you know, and a lot of it has to do with coming into the present to so people who meditate or who work on that if you're already living in the present, you're gonna be much better at noticing these things. Another example I gave was, I was just in Mexico for my honeymoon. And when I was choosing a place to sit on the beach, or by the pool, if there was a Mexican family right next to that area, I didn't really think about the way that I might be taking up space or if I was intruding on their space, because you know, I have my own space of this cabana. Right. But if there's a white family or another white couple, especially, God forbid, attractive, like, from God knows what country right there, right, I would have that more conscious like that trepidation, but just making sure they don't feel like I'm encroaching on their space, I might approach from the other side like, and we just do these things automatically. If we don't bring ourselves into the moment and start reflecting on our own behaviors sitting down at the end of the day, and reflecting on the conversations we've had the ways we reacted to different people, the times that we felt, you know, defensive, the times that we felt irritated, and really look at what triggered those feelings and where they came from, then we're not going to change these behaviors. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people today when it comes to social justice, diversity and inclusion, they think, Oh, I have no power, I can't do anything, I can't change anything. The reality is that we are all part of the fabric of oppression that other people are experiencing. Michael Hingson 48:32 Do you think that if you were to go back down to Mexico and go to a beach and discover that you were coming up to an attractive white couple now that you would react differently now that you've noticed that? Isis Fabian 48:43 I think I just wouldn't Yeah, I think I wouldn't have I wouldn't rather be right. It's not that it would it bothered me, it's more just as being more thoughtful about being more quiet as we approach giving them more space. Right. I think it's more that I would apply that same thinking to the Mexican family, but in the moment, and that is exactly what I did. Because I noticed myself having those thoughts and feelings as I approached the situation. And so I didn't modify my behavior in either situation. And I was the same in both, right? But if I hadn't brought those things into conscious awareness, I might have acted differently. Between and that's Michael Hingson 49:16 that's the point. You have this wonderful gift of built in introspection that happens a lot more than I think it probably happens for most of us, although we can learn introspection, you talked about meditation and so on, and I do that and I love quiet time to think and look at what happened today. What went well, why did it go well, and could I have even made it better? What What can I learn from this other thing that happened today? And why does that still bother me? And I think that we all need to do more of that than we do. I I used to say I'm my own worst critic. You know, I love to listen to my talks when I give speeches and travel and do a lot of that. And I've learned, that's the wrong thing to say, actually, I'm my own best teacher. Because if I really look at what I'm saying, or what I'm doing, or what worked or not, no one else can truly teach me they can point things out. But if I don't choose to learn it, if I don't accept it, and allow myself to be the best teacher that I can be to myself, I'm not really going to fix anything. Isis Fabian 50:26 Absolutely, exactly. And I think that comment about being my own worst critic speaks to one of the mental traps that we often fall into. And this is one of the other pieces to this puzzle, right. As a perfectionism, I talk a lot about about individualism, the illusion of objectivity, which I mentioned before, the good, bad binary, and perfectionism. And I think the good bad binary and perfectionism really work hand in hand, in our inability to change our behavior a lot of the time, this is why for a lot of us when we're told we've made a mistake, right? Or we someone calls out a mistake, and our heart starts racing, or they say, that's a microaggression, or something like that. Because we have this binary, our culture puts everything in a binary, you're good, or you're bad. And it's, you know, it's black, or it's white, you know, it's right, or it's wrong. And the reality is that things exist on a much wider grayer spectrum than that with a ton of nuance. And so, if you're dealing with perfectionism, and someone's essentially telling you even a small thing, tells you well, if I'm not perfect, I'm failure. If it's not perfect, it's nothing like that's kind of our reaction. But we're perfectionists and we're deep into that thinking. And it's hard for us to be corrected or to learn, especially when someone's opening up something as big as ableism, or racism, or misogyny in our thinking, it's so big, our reaction instead is to deny, deflect, get angry, get defensive, because we'd rather maintain the reality we're currently living in and the story that we're telling ourselves. But if we can notice the good, bad binary, in our own thoughts, in our own assessments of situations, we can start to decolonize our minds remove these thought patterns from our minds. You know, in my old job, I had a boss, who I thought was just out to torture me, there was a while where I was like, I'm trying to figure this person out, because I don't understand why I have to suffer so much under this person. Is she evil? Malicious? Like, why is this happening? And eventually, when I learned about the good, bad binary, that was the first situation that came to mind. I was like, I'm constantly trying to figure out is she good? Or Is she bad? The reality is that she's a person. And it's, there's a lot more nuanced than that. And it's somewhere in between, and she might not be as competent as she should be for her job. And that might be leading to all these negative downstream effects for me, and maybe she should be held accountable for my suffering, but it's not this good, bad thing. And we often because of the good bad binary attribute much more negativity to certain people, and much more positivity to other people than they really deserve in their actions when there's actually much more nuanced than that. And the perfectionism plays into that, as well. I think even people who had don't identify as perfectionist, you know, it's such a scourge on our society when we noticed that negative self talk. That's the perfectionism, right? And when we noticed that we're not giving ourselves credit for everything we got done today, right? You spent all day being nervous for the big meeting. And then once it's over and it went, Well, you forget about it on to the next thing to worry about, instead of be like, Oh, my God, I really did an awesome job in that meeting that one as well or better than I ever could have hoped for. Most of us don't do that we do not give ourselves that. And that's the perfectionism piece too. So if we can notice those things, in our own minds, we will stop thinking that way as much. And then when we have a learning opportunity, it's not going to feel nearly as threatening, you know, getting feedback doesn't feel like an attack anymore. It's all, you know, these are all the things we can work out on our own without having to have any big influence in the world or taking any other kind of action. It just prepares us to be able to learn when the opportunity arises. Michael Hingson 54:01 And you know, I go back to my own worst critic. It's such a negative thing. And there's so much more to be gained by looking at it from the positive standpoint. I'm my own best teacher. All right. So somebody said something about me today. Great. I have that. Now, let's look at what they said. I'm trying to understand why they said it. And what does it really mean for me, right? That whole idea of going within yourself and analyzing it is what's so important, because you can you can find out, Oh, maybe, oh, they really thought that because of and it wasn't really true. But then you can go back and deal with it or you can go back and address it and how you deal with them in the future. But you can do so much more. If you look at things in a in a more positive way rather than running yourself down. We're all as capable as we want to be. Isis Fabian 54:59 Mm hmm. and building that, that then builds self awareness that allows you when you get that negative moment or comment or whatever it is, you are then able to understand the difference between this is valid feedback that I need to understand versus that person saying a lot more about themselves than they are about me. Michael Hingson 55:17 That's right. Because you can look at everything that happens in your life. You look at what what people say about you. And it doesn't need to be a criticism. It's what they say, Now, what are you going to do with it? And you have to make a decision. And it has to be a volitional, conscious decision. Was that the right thing? What were they right? Or are they just trying to be obnoxious or whatever the case happens to be, but we're the ones that can learn from our own best teaching efforts. Right, Isis Fabian 55:51 exactly. And or are they responding to something, maybe in the wrong way or through many, many layers have their own bias, but if I can peel all that back, I might find a kernel of truth that is useful for me, like, that's what I finally realized with that, that quote, unquote, feedback, you're too intimidating. And you might work on that. And I went and asked everyone on my team, I was like, what does this mean? And they said, you know, oh, you're just really quick on your feet, you know, you really someone asked a question, or there's a thorny issue that we have to solve, and you just immediately have an answer, you immediately connect all the dots, and it just, it makes it um, you know, it's not a bad thing, you know, it's very impressive. It's just, you're, it's, it's, it can be hard to be in the presence of someone like that, right. As they were explaining that to me, then years later, I can reflect on and be like, there is something here, there was something useful here. For me, even though for such a long time, I rejected that feedback. And it was bad feedback it is. And it was not on to the point. And it was not actionable, either. But at the end of the day, there was impact I was having on people. And I was finally able to recognize the importance of what that impact was, Michael Hingson 56:51 right. And if people are giving improper feedback, and so on

In today's episode get ready to be inspired by McKenna Reitz who is a motivational speaker, life coach, AP Psychology teacher and volleyball coach. She shares her journey with Alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes all of her hair to fall out. Most of us have never heard of the disease until the infamous Oscar slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock. Mckenna gives us an inspirational look at how the disease affected her and how she has transformed her life.
Kristia Leyendecker had been teaching AP Psychology for eight years. She had a working knowledge and understanding about gender and gender dysphoria and considered herself open minded. She felt that we should let people be people, it wasn't her business to judge the way another person lives their life. But, it wasn't until last year, when her 16 year old male child came out as transgendered that she began to find out the impact of what it means to be transgendered.
Following the release of Dr. Strange 2, we talk the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff! Chaos reigns throughout the episode, including an engaging discussion about the need to get help. You won't want to miss this one! Intro Shoutout to Mr. Stoto's AP Psychology class at St. Joseph's School Background (4:49) Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in The X-Men #4 (March 1964) Originally, she & her twin brother Pietro were members of Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in an effort to rule humanity Originally her power was merely “hex magic”, where she could manifest bad luck to those trying to harm her - later changed to chaos magic, which made her more powerful and able to control all manner of probabilities She later joined the Avengers, where she met and fell in love with Vision - listen to our WandaVision episode for more on that Her parentage has changed several times over the years - originally she & Pietro were Romani, born to human parents - then they were adopted by the Maximoffs from the High Evolutionary - then they were the children of the Whizzer & Miss America - then they were Magneto's kids - then they weren't mutants, and were the result of the High Evolutionary's experiments - then they were the children of the previous Scarlet Witch, and their adoptive parents were actually their aunt & uncle #BecauseComics Had two children, Billy & Tommy, with Vision - later revealed they were magic creations using pieces of Mephisto's soul, and they vanished - the memories later vanished, only to be triggered by Janet van Dyne - Wanda sought revenge against the Avengers, and this led to Disassembled and House of M, where she had a breakdown and used her chaos magic to eliminate almost all mutant powers from the world After several years as an outcast, she later joins with Hope Summers, and the two combine their powers to destroy the Phoenix Force and restore the mutant X-gene to the global population This led to her becoming an enemy of the state on Krakoa, although she later redeemed herself by sacrificing her life to enable Cerebro to find all mutants and bring them to Krakoa Issues (7:55) Her relationship with her children - how she kept losing them, and then when they're there, physically, she feels uncomfortable around them Her relationship with Magneto & Pietro (19:36) Not so much an issue as it is a question - There's a What If with Jessica Jones where she joins Avengers as a SHIELD liaison, and most of the major events happen as they would, except Wanda hides her children in a closet before Jessica showed up, and because of that Jessica gets her help, and so Disassembled never happens - talk about how hard it is to get help, or the right kind of help (29:35) Break (46:21) Plugs for BetterHelp, Freudian Sips, and Meredith Finch Treatment (48:15) In-universe - Give Wanda a fixed place that she can always go to Out of universe - Family therapy - use the chain/rope technique to help improve the dynamic Skit Hello Wanda, I'm Dr. Issues. - Hello, Doctor. I want to be upfront: I understand the need to be here, and I even agree with the assessment that this will be helpful. But that doesn't mean I'm eager to undergo a deep analysis on every single decision I've made over the course of my life. That's understandable, especially since neither one of us would have time to do that. My job is to make sure you find out what works for you to deal with how those events have shaped who you are now. Unfortunately, that does mean we'll have to talk about uncomfortable things once in a while. So, I'll let you start with what feels most challenging for you. Anything come to mind? - Is it cheating to say everything? I'm not being flippant, but I have a litany of items that would fit that description, and to choose any individual one would feel like closing my eyes and tossing a dart. Sometimes I really feel like the personification of chaos, magic or otherwise. I can respect that. If I may suggest then, that we start by narrowing it down to a sphere of your life. For example, personal development, or a specific relationship? - Let's stay away from the relationships to start. I have too many demons in too many relationships to jump into that at the beginning, and frankly, no offense, I'm not sure you could stomach some of the things I would describe to you. You'd be surprised at what I would be able to handle; and when it's necessary, I also consult someone to make sure I process things as best I can. Anyway, I'll take the lead then, since I suggested personal development. You mentioned chaos. Is it a matter of behavioral disorganization, inattention, procrastination, emotional disruption, or… - *interrupting* You could continue to give descriptions and I would just automatically say yes to everything at some point. So even narrowing it down that way does me no service. That's my point, Doctor. The mere act of trying to pick a starting point is overwhelming. It's like drinking from a fire hose. Whenever a patient tells me that, I know to start with basic needs. How are you sleeping? How's your appetite? Are you able to manage your daily tasks for your own survival? -*Irritated* I'm not a simpleton, Doctor! I manage those things just fine! Maybe some bad dreams, but…no, that's not something we should delve into. On the contrary, dreams can tell a lot! I will admit my limitations, but I may be able to help parse out what small tidbits could be beneficial to address. - The world of my dreams is far more dangerous than I could make you understand. The unconscious mind attempts to make sense of what the conscious mind cannot, but I fear it fares no better. In either case I am left confused and am no closer to an explanation. That is quite literally what I can offer you. You want an honest external attempt at clarity, I'm your doctor. -Once again, with all due respect, but there may be some other doctor who can manage that realm… *interrupting* Without giving too much away, let's just say we have a working understanding, albeit a bit…odd… - Odd? Or strange? You are perceptive. I guess that's my coy way of saying…try me. What about those dreams? - OK, you want me to describe just one of my average dreams? For starters, yes. Just give me one that you recall vividly. - Fine. I am in a beautiful field, surrounded by mountains. There is a woman nearby with the head of a cow. Alright, that could symbolize - *interrupts* That's not a symbol, that is Bova. She is the woman who raised me. Oh. OK, please continue. - She hands me two infants swaddled in blankets. I hold them, and the children smile at me for a moment. They are beautiful boys. Until they both point at me and begin crying. Interesting. Are the children yours? I didn't ask you about that before so -*interrupts* I don't…think we need to get to that right now. May I continue? Yes, go on. - They are crying, and then they start shouting at me that I am not real. That I don't belong here. That this shouldn't be happening. *sound effects begin* That dark forces are aligning because of what I have done. I want to know more, but could you keep the room the way it was, please? Because my office -*ignoring the doctor* The dark forces aren't demons or magical creatures, they are my friends, or who I thought were friends and teammates. They are conspiring against me. They know what I can do, they are afraid. I am afraid. They are trying to stop this. Stopping this right now doesn't sound too bad… - *ignoring again* My father is there. Or he's supposed to be my father, but he has another face, and yet I recognize him as my father. He is leading the charge. I try to stop him, but my hands will not move. My fingers ball into fists, and instead of using them for magic I begin assaulting myself. I don't want to, and yet I feel like I deserve it. Doesn't take a degree to get that last part…but there's a problem because it feels like something is hitting ME when you say that, so I think there's some magic going on anyway. Perhaps in a DIFFERENT session we can… - My fists finally open, and so does the sky, and it begins to rain blood and screams. I can barely protect myself from this, and the screams get louder. I hear fallen teammates, I hear children, I hear my ex-husband. All of them asking things of me, making demands I cannot meet. The blood covers me and yet I am not wet. I begin to cry, and my tears also scream at me for releasing them. Getting a little exhausted here. I didn't know walls could melt without LSD or psilocybin, but here we are. How am I supposed to paint with my own skin? Wait, that didn't make sense. How do you stop this? - The screams reach a fever pitch, until they are so loud I cannot hear anything else, and that is when I wake up. *noises suddenly stop* And I am in my bed at home. *creeped out* But why am I there too? WHY AM I IN YOUR HOME?!! - What? Oh, I am very sorry doctor. *magic sound FX* As you can see, sometimes these things can be… overwhelming. But I answered your questions. *panting* Alright…regardless of a diagnosis, I'm prescribing something. Maybe I should get some enchanted SSRIs or voodoovalproic acid, maybe dopamine blockade with a 4 leaf clover…I have no idea, but I can't ignore what I just experienced. I will agree with you for now that any deep analysis is too dangerous. - And you now see my reticence to engage in this with you. It is not out of fear of acknowledgement. I know I need to speak to someone. I know there are things that I cannot continue to leave unspoken or unaddressed. But I know that I am unable to go down some of these roads without potentially causing serious harm to whoever dares accompany me. Even if that person had abilities or powers, the risk of losing another person's life for something I did is too much for me to bear. Absolutely makes sense…which is something I'm glad to say after all of that. Now, it's time for some burpees, followed by deep breathing with stretches, and a mild sedative. -That sounds very forward of you doctor to prescribe such specific *interrupting* That's not for you, that's for me. I need to be sharp for any more sessions with you. I won't give up. - I don't understand. Why would you continue to risk everything for a possibility that I might make a slight improvement? Because that's what I signed up for. I may not comprehend everything a person says or does, but I can be there for the experience, good or bad. And I can always make suggestions for improvement. A work in progress starts with work before progress. - That sounds like it should be on a coffee mug or other location where one would emblazon a mantra. *sound effect* Consider this, then, a gift for your next training session. I'm flattered! Um…why is there a giant crack in it? - It is flawed. Like both of us. But despite its outward appearance, it will not spill. It manages to hold everything inside, no matter what. I will cherish it well…including that sentiment, more than you know.

Welcome back to the Sustainable Teacher Podcast, I am your host, Mandy Rice, a ten year teacher turned biggest teacher supporter in building sustainable classrooms so you can stay there longer, and today on the show we have Andrew Sharos, the author of Finding Lifelines and All 4s and 5s, a teacher then administrator, and now an administrator and teacher and school supporter, providing professional development and support to schools around the country. In today's episode, Andrew and I are talking about his book, All 4s and 5s, whose title is referring to the highest scores a student can get on the AP Exam. For those who don't know, AP stands for Advanced Placement, and is a global curriculum in over 30 courses run by an organization called CollegeBoard, and at the end of each course, in the month of May, across the world, hundreds of thousands of students take a summative test to prove how much they learned in that course. That test is scored on a scale of 1 to 5, and most college and universities will accept a three or higher for at least some, in some cases a substantial, amount of college credit. I personally took two AP courses and tests, AP U.S. History and AP Psychology, got a 4 on both of them, earning the equivalent of 4 college courses of credit saving my family and I thousands of dollars. But here's the thing.... This episode and this book we'll be chatting about is NOT, I repeat, is NOT exclusively for Advanced Placement teachers. No, not at all. This episode and Andrew's book is for any teacher who wants to build a classroom culture that is not each kid against each other, but instead is, as Andrew explains it, us together versus the test. If you are an educator who wants to understand and master the technique that allows you to rise above just being a top expert in your content, yet allows you to still get great student outcomes, then this episode is for you. And stay tuned until the end when I talk about a giveaway you won't want to miss.

During the ten years I spent in the classroom, I taught AP® Psychology all of those years. I attended numerous content-specific professional development opportunities, flipped the entire curriculum that is readily available for free on my YouTube channel, as well as built resources that many teachers find helpful in my Teachers Pay Teachers store or in our Sustainable Psych Teacher membership. I'm sharing all of this to say that I became, and hopefully remain, well versed in the AP® Psychology curriculum - I would even venture to say I've got my 10,000 hours Malcolm Gladwell teaches about as indicating expertise, at least in the curriculum that is… but certainly not in the field of psychology. So as much as I know and love psychology, I am by no stretch of the imagination a psychologist, psychiatrist (shout out to my psych nerds who know the difference), or a mental health professional. No advice I give today in this episode is advice for handling mental health. No. Instead it is advice on building a classroom culture that helps students feel welcome at the core of who they are, not because of their facade, and that they feel comfortable to be vulnerable enough with you or another adult so they can seek help if and when they need it. So I'll say it again - I am not giving mental health advice or recommendations on how to go about handling a mental health situation for yourself or for that of your student. However, my hope is that after listening to this episode you will have a clear vision of a balanced message to send and classroom culture to create around mental health. It is NOT news to educators today that our students' mental health is different than it was ten or even five years ago. And then you throw into the mix this whole pandemic, not just the potential and reality for some of getting sick or caring for our sick loved ones, but more prominently impactful, the social distancing, total wrench thrown in young people's lives, routines, and futures that absolutely changed everything for them, or at least for some. I would venture to say the impact is and will be immeasurable, never quite completely quantifiable. But teachers know. We see it, and, if you're anything like me and the many teachers I work with, as educators are convicted of sending a welcoming message to all students, but also a message that empowers our students no matter their state of mental health. In this episode I'll be talking to the teacher in the room, I bet that's you, on the topic of taking care of yourself so you can care for others, what recent research is showing us about our students' mental state, and finally three messages you want to be sending to your students everyday when it comes to their emotional and mental health. So if you're ready to talk about this hot button issue like a professional, while keeping it real amongst colleagues with the perspective of wanting to make an impact with your kids, then this episode is for you.

Ms. Amy Armstrong teaches AP Psychology and Major Religions at a private Catholic High School in the San Francisco Bay Area. In Resting in the Ancient we hear how chance, activism, and wisdom powerfully blend together in the dedicated heart of one teacher. Deeply attuned to the global challenges in which her students are coming of age, Amy sheds light on how she seeks to impart wisdom and trust in the deep self as an antidote to culture not interested meaningful identity formation. Myth, wisdom traditions, cutting edge brain and social sciences are some of the rivers of knowledge that Armstrong relies upon to guide her students who are faced with navigating the passage of growing-up in a radically changing world. In this show we find a moving portrait of how teaching can be a sacred responsibility in the continuity of time which contributes to and fosters a more holistic sense of self for young people. Furthermore we learn how activism, books, and synchronicity pulled Amy into a career as an educator and the wonderful ways she embraces her ‘weird,' encouraging her students to do the same. Along the way we learn how many, many years of teaching social justice and Peace and Conflict Studies required effort that once again, by chance, transformed into another kind of mode; that of the mystic. No longer driven to be a warrior dedicated to the hardwork of addressing social justice education, Ms. Armstrong now is turning her teaching toward the deepest part of the self, willing to acknowledge life's miracles and accept the power of the mystic within. Always ready to grab threads of value and meaning, in Amy's personal passage of coming to rest in the ancient as well as being a much needed guide for young adults about to take flight, we find in her a compelling voice for the power of education that blesses young people with the radical notion that they too have a living wisdom within which they can rely on.

AP® Psychology, Intro to Psychology, Sociology, Hybrid Psychology, American History, Honors American History, Women and Minority Studies… all courses that I taught in my ten years in the classroom. In each course I did have some materials from former teachers or current teams that were willing to collaborate, but I had to learn the content and standards of each of these courses… and this is nothing novel. I'm betting you've had a similar experience whether you've had multiple preps or had to teach a new course. And as I shared in last week's episode, a teacher who has to focus on learning the content they teach, although that is important, is less able to focus on their students' growth. I'd like you to have both. Know the content, well enough at least, and get to connect with kids and focus on their growth… all without having to sacrifice your evenings and weekends to do so. My mission here at Teach On A Mission is to empower teachers to confidently step into that role as the number one influence on student learning. And there are very specific ways that I believe we can do that, and that I can help with. I will elaborate on the few ways I think that can be done given the pressures of the education field today, but for this episode I want to focus on just one. That one is content coaching. You'll leave this episode with a sense of surity that a content coach is exactly the kind of targeted support you need that allows you to sustainably be knowledgeable in your content area, but not overwhelmed by learning the new content so that you can focus on building relationships with students. And here's why… When a teacher is told they're teaching a new course, subject, or grade-level, their personal lives and well-being are the first sacrifices in the name of being effective with students in that new content area. It doesn't HAVE to be that way. We don't always have to DIY aspects of our professional lives. A teacher who can focus more on their students and less on everything else, yes, including the nitty gritty of your content, is more effective in getting their students to show growth year after year. Alright teacher friend, let's get to it.

Episode 91 of the Unscripted Podcast is with Jessica Schmitt. Jessica is the owner and founder of Mindful Ontogeny. Mindful Ontogeny is a business dedicated to the success of its clients. Their mindset and personal development coaching focuses on building a strong mindset and helping clients become the person they need to be to reach their goals. They teach relevant, applicable knowledge that changes clients' lives for the better. With regular sessions and check-ins, they really are there to help every step of the way during arguably the most important journey a person can take: the one in pursuit of their dreams. They offer coaching to individuals, as well as to teams/organizations/companies. They also offer motivational speaking to inspire your organization, team, company, or students through stories of drive, dedication, ambition, failure, persistence, and comebacks. Additionally, They offer academic tutoring for students grades K-12, where they assist with assignments and coursework, as well as teach important life skills, such as time management and organization, that are important both in and outside of the classroom. Jessica is pursuing a career as a professional ballet dancer and is currently a trainee with BalletMet. After years of holding limiting beliefs and self doubts in her dancing, she realized that if she didn't change something, she would hold herself back from achieving her goals. She immersed herself into personal development and mindset studies, learning the content of the likes of Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, and more. Jessica has always enjoyed helping others understand ideas and concepts, and after learning ideas that completely shifted her mindset and perspective of success, she found herself wanting to help others. Additionally, she believed that her dance journey, one that is full of successes, failures, comebacks, and perseverance, could inspire others on their own success journeys, especially the youth. Mindful Ontogeny allows Jessica to spread the powerful knowledge she has learned and continues to study regularly, and give others the mindset needed to reach success on their own journeys. Not only is she a speaker and mindset/personal development coach, but she is also an academic tutor. A graduate from Monroe High School in Monroe, Wisconsin, Jessica is pursuing a B.A. in English- Technical and Professional Writing at Indiana University East online. She graduated with Distinguished Honors with a 4.2 GPA, achieved a 35 on the ACT, received her district's “Student of the Month” award twice, and was named an AP Scholar by the College Board. Throughout high school, she has taken numerous AP classes: AP U.S. History, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, and AP European History. She has completed both in-person and online courses, and has the skills to help students in both. In addition to her dancing, Jessica has participated in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), Link Crew, and various other community services. Jessica recognizes the immense value in developing a strong mindset and skills for success, and she wants Mindful Ontogeny to be a place where people go to be supported, mentored, and catapulted to the life they always dreamed. I was blessed with the conversation with Jessica and blown away by her wisdom for her age. I have no doubt that Mindful Ontogeny will be successful and so will she. No matter what she does in life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aaronconrad/support

In the episode, we are blessed with the presence of Dr. Kristen Nichole. She is a performance artist, scholar, educator, trainer, coach, entrepreneur, mother, and wife. Kristen is a south Florida native and graduate of The University of Central Florida (B.S. in Psychology) and The University of Miami (M.S.Ed in Community and Social Change). Kristen also has a Ph.D. in Applied Social and Community Psychology from North Carolina State University. Kristen needed an escape and she found that in the pole community. Pole fitness and dance offered a space for Kristen to reconnect with her full self again. Additionally, her doctoral training in community psychology allowed her to see that pole is a tool for coping with adversity and creating self. Kristen integrates her expertise in psychology with her training as an ACE and XPERT certified pole fitness instructor to guide her clients and students along a journey of self-exploration and liberation through pole fitness and dance. Kristen has coined her work Polecology®. Dr. Kristen and I had such an amazing conversation starting with her high school memories of being on the biotech track in high school thinking she would go the physical science route. After taking AP Psychology, she realized even at that young age that her calling was in working with people. She went away, not too far not too close to home, and during most of her time in undergrad, she did not see herself pursuing higher education. It was during this time that she first took a pole dancing class when her roommate offered to take her with a Groupon… She ready… She did not find love in pole at the moment. She had hopes of going to the Peace Corps but was denied due to a peanut allergy. It was then that she decided to pursue a master's degree. She had a black woman academic that brought to her attention the option of pursuing a PhD and that is when she went for it. During her first year, she experienced a lot of emotional distress and truly wanted to drop out. It was through her husband's support that she found solace and endurance. She had started doing pole dancing for fitness purposes, but she experienced whorephobia and felt uncomfortable with the idea of people thinking she was sexy in the exercise. She got pregnant and after giving birth she suffered from post-partum conditions. She had the great resource of having an advisor who had recently had a child. She suffered from post-partum depression. She also had a condition called diastasis recti that caused the two sides of her abdomen to split away from each other. After months of physical therapy, she was able to get back to pole dancing but in a different manner. This time she was liberated. She had discovered the beauty in this artform and coined the term Polecology. She now teaches her student in the School of Polecology how to use the pole to make meaning.

A new series we are introducing, Mr. D interviews fellow social studies teachers, and other historians! Our first episode we spoke with Mr. Matt McCracken from the Alexander CSD. Mr. McCracken teaches Global I, AP Psychology, and other electives. In this show, we covered distance learning, social studies education, what we are reading, and rapid fire questions! We had some technical difficulties using Zoom so this episode was recorded in late May during learning so please pardon any glitches.

And just kind of shed some more light on, Hey, there's resources out there for you. (4:24)• For me, personally, I think advocating is really important in the sense that if you don't just share your ideas or beliefs, or even just share what resources are out there, it's really hard for someone to just pick up and start doing it on their own. Because you don't even know where to start at times, and so by advocating, it gives you that starting point for you to go, Oh, I can Google that, I can reach out more to that, or I can email someone and just ask, Hey, can you clarify something? So advocating, just spreading the word, that also gives a good point of contact for people to reach out and develop more relationships and foster more communication between everyone. (6:29)• Now, I'm really fortunate, I work with the team, we have four family consumer science teachers that... That's huge. Yes, it's incredible. So in that sense, I'm really, really lucky. And other people in our district, some have two, some are one, so it just kind of depends on how we can communicate with each other, and we do our best to communicate with the other schools as well, so that way those teachers don't feel totally lost, just fading into the background. (8:24)• But each of us taught very different classes, so I was mainly foods focus, and we had a interior design, fashion merchandising teacher, we had an AP Psychology and Psychology teacher. So all of us, being that we're family consumer science that worked, but at the same time, we all taught very different things. (9:36)• So I guess the biggest tip I would have is, try and do as many professional developments as you can, or at least just attend a conference, whether it's a summer conference or annual conference, try and do some sort of professional development with a family consumer science here in the state. By doing that, it can be really intimidating at first, but you get me and close to 30 other FCS educators or professionals here. And so, by having those connections already, it could be such a relief for a lot of people to know like, Oh, I'm not alone, I can go and talk to other people, or I can shoot them an email if I need something, or they can share their Google Docs.

Our featured topic this week is our American Education Month Photo Contest Winners celebration. Michelle Chen and her close friends from AP Psychology at Glencoe High School rallied around their teacher Lisa Pearson at the end of the lunch with Superintendent Scott that they won as a result of submitting the winning photo in HSD’s American Education Month Photo Contest. The poster they held up calling Ms. Pearson their “cherub wrangler” and the touching comments they made about her led to that photo being chosen as the winner. During the lunch on Tuesday, Dec. 10, in the Glencoe library, Superintendent Scott had the students go around the table, introduce themselves, and say one thing they liked about Ms. Pearson - who joined them at the table. Their comments were unique, touching, and kind - enough to make anyone want to enter the teaching profession and hopefully making her year!
