Close to 80 percent ends up in landfills or the environment. It’s time to work on solutions and Northwestern University just launched a new program on plastics, ecosystems and public health. We’re joined by Dr. Aaron Packman, a Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering with Northwestern.

Chapter.5 "Mentor is a Must" Exercise: ‘Reaching Up’ What do I mean by reaching up? The first time I spoke with Bob Crumley was by phone. I had a great time talking with him, savoring every morsel of wisdom I could out of a 45 minute conversation. I was pumped. I got a list of wisdom, things I needed to do to run my firm like a business and grow it. And that is how I would describe ‘Reaching Up.’ I was reaching up beyond my experience, my boundaries and pay grade. Even beyond my belief. People are afraid to talk to someone they see as better than them, or smarter, more successful. You have to remove those self imposed boundaries. You put the boundaries there, but all they do is limit you. Stop being afraid to ‘Reach up.’ Call a business person, big kahuna lawyer, hell call Richard Branson and ask them something that you want advice about. Reach up to them for help. #RockStarLawyer #LawyerGreg
A few years ago when I was investigating different methods of teaching children I encountered a teaching method that was gentle yet effective. A small widespread school district in Alaska had adopted a method of teaching where every child learned at their own pace. The method had some elements of the Glasser system which includes a heavy reliance upon choice. The method that was used in Alaska, which I called the Chugach method after the school district that originated it, was a definite paradigm shift. It changed the factory model of education where time is the constant and learning is the variable to a model where learning is the constant and time is the variable. I spoke with Bob Crumley the superintendent of the district and learned about the program. In the ensuing years I have spoken to many people about this method of teaching. I have to confess after this period of time I am still in enamored with the method. Bob Crumley joins me again and we discuss his districts use of this IEP for all and everyone at their own pace method of teaching.In 2008, the San Francisco Unified School District's Special Education department decided to illegally censor the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education’s newsletter. This Committee is state-mandated to provide oversight of SFUSD’s special education department and reports directly to the School Board. The School Board did not support the Committee and allowed the Committee to be censored. As an aftermath of this cataclysmic event, the director of special education retired. Shortly after that, the head of the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) also left the school district. After one interim special education director, in the spring of 2010, the school district engaged the services of the Urban Special Education Leadership Collaborative to audit SFUSD’s special education department. David Riley, Executive Director of the Urban Special Education Leadership Collaborative, joins me to elaborate on this far-reaching audit.Stan tells us about swimming issues

There is much discussion about the best way to educate children. Many education educators provide techniques for not only teaching to the middle. These are valuable techniques for trying to modify a design flaw in our educational system. Teaching to the middle frequently winds up being beneficial to no one. And what about special education? The terminology alone may set up a false promise. It’s not always so special and in many cases the education falls far short of a learner’s potential.Differentiated education is being viewed by many as a direction that must be assessed. We need to evaluate if this method of educating the whole child has merit—every child at their own pace—intriguing. How can a teacher manage so many different educational paces? We know that every child is different, that not everyone learns the same way, or at the same speed. We already make a differentiated education plan for 10% -12% of our student population that has been identified as having extra needs. That process is cumbersome, very adversarial, and definitely not something we would want to replicate. But if every child was given the help that they needed, at their own pace, it could revolutionize special education and shift it to the norm. The Chugach school district of Alaska has been using a differentiated education system since 1992 and every child has their own education plan. There was a major paradigm shift as the district disconnected time and learning and every child learns at their own pace. It is a small school district and faces some unusual challenges. They found that one of the central components to success was the teaching of local values and ethics as a component of the curriculum. I was fortunate to speak with three superintendents who have experienced this system to learn what they did and why.Bob Crumley is currently the superintendent of the Chugach school district. He was head teacher when the school district first started the differentiated education system. In a video interview, Bob talks about how the process got started and how it works, the effects on students in a school district that never had a student go on to college. He shares the effects on the community, the school staff.
