Heroism might be out of fashion, but that hasn't deterred Jeremy S. Adams from offering what he calls Lessons in Liberty from the lives of ten extraordinary Americans. His list (yes to RBG, but no to JFK, FDR or MLK) will inevitably be controversial, but most of us don't doubt that Americans need civic inspiration from their most distinguished citizens. And Adams, a much celebrated high school teacher in California's Central Valley for the last quarter century, has the right combination of erudition, enthusiasm and patriotism to rekindle American innovation and moral excellence.Jeremy S. Adams was the Daughters of the American Revolution 2014 California Teacher of the Year and a finalist for the Carlston Family Foundation Outstanding Teachers of America Award. He is a social studies teacher at Bakersfield High School and was a longtime political science lecturer at California State University, Bakersfield.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Do you remember when there was a teacher in California who was fired from her job because the school couldn't, quote, "accommodate her religious beliefs?" So, what exactly was she doing? Was she out there openly proselytizing kids on the playground or something like that?No. She took the very bold stand of saying, as a gym teacher, that she wouldn't allow boys to come in and use the showers when the girls were in there.Support Jessica: https://www.givesendgo.com/speakthetruthSupport Jessica's legal team, Advocates for Faith & Freedom:https://faith-freedom.com/donate----------Sponsored by: Good RanchersSubscribe to Good Ranchers today and get 1.5 lbs of their Applewood smoked bacon in every single order for a year!

Do teachers have a front row seat to America's decline? Jeremy Adams, a History and Social Studies teacher at both the high school and college levels, thinks so.Jeremy Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and a love of learning in his students. And yet, as he notes, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people. Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and most worrying of all, their humanity diminished.Educators like Jeremy see a generation slipping away. The problems that have hollowed out our young people have been festering for years. A year of COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing have magnified them. The result could be a generation—and our nation's future—lost in a miasma of alienation and stupefaction.In his 2021 book Hollowed Out, Jeremy reveals why students have rejected wisdom, culture, and institutions of Western civilization—and what we can do to win them back. Jeremy Adams is a high school and University teacher living in Bakersfield, California. He and his writing have appeared in Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, The Washington Times, New Discourses, C-Span, The DailyCaller, The American Mind, and numerous national education podcasts. He has won numerous accolades for his teaching and writing efforts including the 2014 California State Teacher of the Year Award (Daughters of the American Revolution) and was a 2013 semi-finalist for the California Department of Education's California Teacher of the Year Award.

Our guest starts the school year by assigning every student a movie-making project. This practice engages all students quickly and has the added benefit of setting up a model for uncheatable assessments in the age of generative AI. In the episode, she explains how to align this practice with demands for standardized tests.

Today we are joined by Jessica Pack. She has taught middle school for 18 years. She was the 2014 California Teacher of the Year. She has continually worked to redefine what learning looks like in her classroom. She is an author of the book Moviemaking in the Classroom. She is an advocate for student voice and choice. She is also a co-host on the podcasts Storytelling Saves the World, and the ISTE Edge.Topics discussed: 1. Movie making is powerful because that is the zone where a lot of kids live now. 2. Movie making is a great way to shift students from consumers to producers3. Students learn about the emotion that movie making creates in others and how to put their emotions into it as well. 4. Storytelling helps create sticky learning. 5. Don't let the barriers of time, technology, and truth hold you back from being a digital storyteller. 6. Lesson frames and scripts should be used in the beginning.7. The more you make movies the more efficient students get at it. 8. There's nothing our kids can't do if we scaffold it correctly and make it part of the learning routine. 9. Pick a piece of instruction that you want to formatively assess. 10. Start with something that you understand well that you can translate into a story. 11. You have to be willing to fail forward. 12. Embrace the fact that often the students are better on technology than we are. 13. In movie your script is key. 14. The “Golden Share”.  Share some of your own writing and storytelling before you ask kids to share theirs. 15. Be vulnerable with your students and that will open doors for them to share. 16. Students want to share they just have to feel safe enough and valued enough to share. 17. It's valuable, transformative, and necessary to get to know our kids on a human level. 18. Movie making gives students who might be quieter the opportunity to share a lot of themselves. 19. Be brave. Admit that you aren't an expert and that's ok. Dive in. Don't look back.20. ISTE - Global community21. Here's an idea I have, how could you make this better. 22.

In This Episode:This week the guys sit down with Mitch Bahr. In 1984, Mitch was 11 when he hears a live performance of "Rhapsody in Blue" as part of the 1984 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. In that moment, he felt like music needed to be a part of his life. Now, almost 40 years later, music is an integral part of Mitch's incredibly rich life. In his time with Mike and Tyler, Mitch shares his journey and the lessons that life has taught him along the way. The result is an incredible episode with an incredible guy who would be nothing without his incredible wife, Carmen. You think you have a great "How you met your spouse" story? Wait until you hear Mitch's. And let's get one thing straight... Mitch teaches more than just music. He invests in people and great music happens as a by-product. Class is in session here as he gives a master class about being centered on what's important, being content, what it means to be truly successful, the importance of empathy, that "faith is not a fortune cookie", and so much more. Mitch Bahr, thanks for showing up the way you did. Thank you for living life the way that you do and for showing us all how to do it right.

Esports (short for electronic sports) is a fast-growing, multi-billion dollar worldwide phenomenon...and the opportunities for our students through esports are astounding.In this episode, we're talking with former California Teacher of the Year Alan Sitomer, who's now the Founder and CEO of Mastery Coding - an organization that's helping turn gamers into makers.We're taking a deep dive into the world of esports - what esports is all about, how schools are launching teams and even offering scholarships, and the career opportunities in STEM fields that are available inside the world of professional gaming.

K-12 districts, colleges and universities worldwide have official teams; professional leagues draw millions of viewers globally; and the benefit for your students is limitless. Alan gives us the scoop on the benefits of esports for schools, which include the opportunity to win competitions, SEL benefits for students, the equity component, and the STEM implications.Gaming is the gateway to computer science: Computer science drives every company in this digital world, and because of this there's an immense need for students with STEM skills entering the workforce. If schools are looking for a way to get more students engaged in computer science, esports is the answer. By launching an esports program, you're meeting them where they are, engaging them in what they love doing, but also (if you follow an academic methodology) giving them a chance to "look under the hood" and learn about game design, coding, programming and so much more.Academic Esports is the key to turning gamers into makers: While esports alone has many benefits for students, it's also a ripe opportunity for education to engage, inspire and equip gamers with industry-recognized credentials, skills-based programming and credible pathway to emerging and growing careers in STEM. Alan shares his organization's methodology of academic esports - a way to take your students' love of gaming and turn it into academic programming that leads to real computer science skills and certifications.Tips for Getting StartedWant to start an esports program? Here are some initial steps:Get buy-in from administration, coaches/instructors, parents and studentsDecide your goals for your esports team - some options include winning competitions, academic value, and social-emotional learning valueChoose which tools are you going to use to achieve that goal.
