A Special Thanksgiving Episode: Creativity, Community, and Gratitude In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Cyndi Burnett and Matthew Worwood visit Dedham, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, to record live from the newly opened TLC Studios. TLC, short for Teaching, Learning, and Creativity, is the inspired creation of authors and educators Peter and Paul Reynolds, along with their sister Jane. This episode is a celebration of creative learning, featuring guest Donna Luther, a Montessori school principal, and highlighting the exciting Big Noise Summit. Together, the group reflects on the importance of gathering in person to discuss how creative learning spaces can transform education. They emphasize the power of community and the innovative approaches that reimagine what classrooms can be. Peter and Paul Reynolds share the vision behind TLC Studios: a vibrant, flexible space designed to spark collaboration and creativity. Unlike traditional classrooms, TLC Studios features modular, interactive areas filled with color and possibility. The conversation also highlights the crucial role parents play in fostering creativity and encourages educators to build strong connections with their communities. The episode ends on a high note—literally—with a symbolic “big noise,” representing the collective energy and commitment to spreading creativity in education. Full of heartfelt gratitude, this episode invites listeners to embrace creativity in their teaching and to cherish the community bonds that make education thrive.

In this episode we discuss the key elements of the 21st century classroom. We talk about the four main elements that should be considered when designing school classrooms of the future. 

YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT LIKE THIS BEFORE…But you're about to.Teachers know that success in the classroom begins with classroom management.And classroom management starts with relationships.Without building positive relationships with students, you'll be swimming upstream all year long.Shawn Young, CEO of Classcraft (a behavior management tool), knows this all too well.  As a student himself, he often felt bored with school and didn't feel a sense of belonging.  When he became a teacher himself, he wanted to create a different experience for his students - one that was built on the foundation on positive relationships.Out of his own need in the classroom, Shawn began building an online platform that focused on positive behavior interventions. And Classcraft was born.Classcraft is an innovative platform that helps educators make learning meaningful and motivates students through gamification. Not only did he see the impact it had on his own students, but others began to notice as well.  And now - Shawn is on a mission to replicate this same positive experience in classrooms around the world.  Since launching Classcraft into the world of education, it has been a force to be reckoned with in transforming behavior and classroom cultures.And - I had the privilege to have Shawn on the podcast to talk all about positive behavior intervention & supports, also known as PBIS - and how Classcraft supports PBIS programs.FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES VISIT:  classroomnook.com/podcast/146

DO YOU EVER HEAR EDUCATIONAL BUZZ WORDS AND THINK “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?”Am I doing that? Or even… do I HAVE to do that?

I'm so excited about today's episode because it's a topic that I haven't discussed in almost 100 episodes, but is so important and relevant in our world today. That topic is multimedia in a 21st century classroom. Now, you might think you know what all of this entails, but some concepts discussed might surprise you. To help me dive in, I have guest Rachael Parlett and we're discussing using multimedia to support readers in a 21st century classroom. Rachael Parlett has been an educator for 16+ years, having spent most of her time teaching 4th grade.  Currently, she is the founder and creator of The Classroom Nook, an educational company that supports upper elementary teachers with resources that make learning interactive, engaging, and fun for both teachers and students.  She is also the host of the podcast The Classroom Commute where she shares tips, strategies, and best teaching practices for a 21st century classroom.   Most recently, Rachael, along with her husband, Jacob, have founded a second educational company called LINKtivity Learning - a membership that provides teachers with a growing library of interactive digital resources known as LINKtivities.  LINKtivities have been used in tens of thousands of classrooms around the world and provide students with a multimedia learning experience that truly ignites the love of learning and is powerful enough to meet the demands of a 21st century classroom.   At the heart of everything, Rachael believes that classrooms should be student-centered, hands-on, and collaborative.  She loves sharing this passion with educators around the world.

She believes that illustration is a powerful tool that can make learning exciting. She has a passion for taking dense information and making it fun and accessible. Rachel hopes to use her work to spread her message about scientific literacy and feminism. Bryan Ripley Crandall has an interesting story with technology, as he remembers vividly the envy he felt when his best friend, Peter Boy, got the first home computer of the neighborhood and, later, when his college classmates came to campus with clunky, but helpful, keyboard machines. He taught for over a decade in Louisville, Kentucky, and became part of the 21st cohort of the Louisville Writing Project. It was then he began thinking about the ways technology was shifting his own classroom instruction. In fact, he was first published in Teaching the New Writing: Technology, Change, and Assessment in the 21st Century Classroom, edited by Anne Herington, Kevin Hodgson, and Charles Moran. Ah, but he confesses that he knew little about the history of the computer until reading Rachel Ignatofsky's book.

Are you committing one of these technology mistakes in your classroom?I know I sure have from time to time.As our classrooms become more and more digital-friendly and as we integrate more and more technology instruction, we're bound to run into a few snags along the way. We try sooo hard to provide students with 21st century learning experiences;  experiences that often include technology and multimedia with all the other bells and whistles.The intention is good, but the execution sometimes hits a snag.  I wanted to share my own experiences of the challenges I have had with classroom technology, the mistakes I've made, and the ways that I've tried to avoid making these same mistakes over and over.FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES VISIT:  classroomnook.com/podcast/111Links & Resources Mentioned in the EpisodeEPISODE 95:  What is a 21st Century Classroom??EPISODE 97: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 1: What the Research Says)EPISODE 98: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 2: Applications for the Classroom)EPISODE 99: Classroom Technology: A Simple Model for Using it Effectively

WE OFTEN THINK THAT ALL TECH IS CREATED EQUAL…It's not.   I love using tech in the classroom as a way to engage and motivate student learning.  Tech provides opportunities to support our students in ways that other learning methods can not.  These opportunities include things like adding audio support to read text to our students, or allowing students to record their responses rather than writing something.  Technology often helps us to eliminate barriers to learning success.But - just using classroom technology for the sake of using classroom technology is not an effective model for making decisions around technology with your students.I think learning with multimedia and technology is an essential component of a 21st century classroom, but technology comes in all shapes and sizes, and in this episode, I want to introduce a simple model that we can follow when making decisions about technology in our classroom so that we can use it in the most effective way!LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEEPISODE 95: What is a 21st Century Classroom??EPISODE 97: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 1: What the Research Says)EPISODE 98: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 2: Applications for the Classroom)SAMR ModelJoin the LINKtivity Learning Membership and get access to my entire vault of LINKtivity Interactive Learning Guides - CLICK HERE to join.

WANT TO CREATE A MULTIMEDIA CLASSROOM?A better questions to ask would be:  HOW do we create a multimedia classroom?Over the past couple of weeks we have been exploring what it means to be a 21st century classroom. We talked about how a 21 century classroom… includes creating a collaborative and creative environment and encourages students to reflect on their learningtakes the focus away from a teacher-directed learning approach, and puts students in the center of discovering and exploring their own knowledge.puts technology and multimedia in a larger role to create a bigger impactWe've also  unpacked what the research says about multimedia instruction and laid the groundwork for what effective multimedia instruction looks like, as well as how the brain processes multimedia and the positive impact it has on long-term learning.But - not all multimedia is created equal and if done incorrectly - it could lead to brain processing overload. It's that whole - too much of a good thing...is no longer good idea.So, let's explore how we can implement effective multimedia into daily classroom instruction.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEEPISODE 95: What is a 21st Century Classroom??EPISODE 97: Creating a Multimedia Classroom (Part 1: What the Research Says)RESOURCE: Discovery Learning FoldersJoin the LINKtivity Learning Membership and get access to my entire vault of LINKtivity Interactive Learning Guides - CLICK HERE to join.

WHAT IS A 21ST CENTURY CLASSROOM?If you have been tuning in to the podcast the past few weeks, you may have picked up on the fact that I've been putting a lot of focus on the modern classroom, and what's actually working right now.  I've also been challenging some of the teaching ideas and practices that have dominated in the classroom for the past decade or so, and have really been questioning whether or not they are relevant anymore.We first talked about whether or not learning styles are a myth (learning styles like visual learners vs auditory learners vs kinesthetic learners...etc)  — you know all those educational philosophies you were likely taught in college.  We then talked about what's working right now in the classroom to increase student success.  These strategies draw upon modern best teaching practices  -things that maybe we didn't do 10 or so years ago. All of this conversation has begun to set the stage to a larger question:What is a 21st century classroom?If education is changing (which it totally is...).  If some of the educational philosophies that played a larger role and had a bigger influence on our teaching practices are no longer relevant...then where does that leave us? How can we begin creating a 21st century, modern-day classroom that can meet the demands of the students in our classrooms TODAY?Well, we are just starting this journey, my friend.  Because there is a lot to unpack - but I first want to start today with laying the groundwork for what it means to be a 21st century classroom.  That way, as we move forward in our discussion, you can reflect on how it compares to your own classroom.So let's get started!Links & Resources Mentioned in the EpisodeEPISODE 45: How to Use Rubrics for Assessment AND InstructionEPISODE 55: Easy Tips to Boost Student Participation While Building a Strong Classroom CommunityEPISODE 90: Using Podcasts in the Elementary ClassroomEPISODE 91: The TRUTH About Learning StylesEPISODE 94: 3 Tips for Increasing Student SuccessJoin the LINKtivity Learning Membership and get access to my entire vault of LINKtivity Interactive Learning Guides - Click here to join.

In this episode of Fueling Creativity, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood interview arts and creativity educator, Donna Luther, about how she nurtures a culture of creativity and problem solving as Head of Inly School, an all-gender PreK-8 Montessori day school in Massachusetts. Donna highlights how her students are inspired to act on their ideas, why it's so impactful to think about a school as a start-up, and how she encourages teachers and students to take risks and be okay with experiencing failure. She also speaks on the characteristics she looks for in teachers that she hires and what really makes a creative educator, including openness and willingness to evolve and innovate. Plus, Donna tells the incredible story of why she started Summer Stars Camp for the Performing Arts (spoiler: it was inspired by Britney Spears!).  “It's our responsibility, not only to stay current, but actually to stay future focused. Not only what do we need for today, but what do we need for the unknown of tomorrow for our students.” - Donna Luther Donna's Tips for Teachers – Montessori Philosophies That Can Be Applied to Any School: Go beyond the four walls of the classroom. What can you do in your hallways, playground, and your community to explore and help your students discover something new or discover a passion? Practice saying YES to ideas. Remember, be open! Always ask yourself: How might we prepare our students for a world that we can't predict? Learn how to question, problem solve, and to take two very disconnected ideas and find ways they can connect.   Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Inly School: www.inlyschool.org    About Donna Luther: An arts and creativity educator, Donna Luther is currently Head of Inly School, an all-gender independent, Montessori based day school in Massachusetts for students ages 2 – 14.

Week two in Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month is here. This month also belongs to those with developmental disabilities. Because of that, my guest is Kayla Scheer, whom I met during my time in TEDx.In 2012, Kayla Scheer married her high school sweetheart and earned her BA in Secondary Education and Spanish with a concentration in Bilingual Education from UNM. Then, in 2014, she earned her MA in Organization, Information, and Learning Sciences from UNM and gave a TEDxED Talk titled “On-Demand Learning in the 21st Century Classroom”. This is Kayla’s ninth year as an educator, spending most of her time as a Spanish teacher at V. Sue Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho, she is now a Language and Culture Coordinator at Shining Stars Preschool. The switch to preschool has been a blessing for her as a mother of two beautiful little girls, one with red hair and the other an extra 21st chromosome. Every day is fun and full of sparkles. I hope that Kayla's story can help parents who have a child with a disability.Cerebral Palsy Foundationhttps://www.yourcpf.org/Follow me on social media @offthecrutchpod or e-mail me at offthecrutch@gmail.com

"It feels really weird, because in some ways it's kind of cool to see how you can be homeschooled. But then in other ways you're like, "Ohhhhh, it’s kind of scary." Because we are staying home because of the virus that’s going around and for our safety and other people's safety and everything. So it’s mixed feelings I guess." Today on The 21st Century Classroom we're going to explore quarantine homeschooling in the age of COVID-19: What are we learning during it? And what are we learning *from* it?

On this episode of the 21st Century Classroom, we hear from three students from Champlain Valley Union High School, in Hinesburg Vermont -- a sophomore, a junior, and a high school senior. They tell us about what makes school meaningful, along with the way they see the roles of students and teachers changing as schools evolve. We also talk about equity in schools, as well as spending some serious time discussing what proficiency-based learning has looked like. Does it work? Is it an improvement over the traditional grading system, and how does it affect how these students apply to college? Full transcript at https://wp.me/p4r2oE-5Oe

What do you see when you picture a typical classroom? rows of desks? a teacher at the white board at the front of the classroom? Take a listen as we chat with 5th grade teacher, Christine Richins, who last year drastically revamped her classroom to evoke a Starbucks-like environment. Richins tells Annemarie and Kate how behavior, learning, and community have remarkably transformed in her flexible seating classroom.

Creativity and Collaboration are essential skills for today's 21st Century Classroom. With digital media becoming widely popular as both a learning and assessment tool, teachers are continuously seeking the best solution to bring into their curricular activities. One of the questions that gets asked of me frequently is “How can I create a podcast using my Chromebook?

Arizona's Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) supports districts, schools and educators in infusing technology into their classrooms. The Arizona K12 Center created the Arizona Technology Integration Matrix at http://azk12.org/tim with the belief that “encouraging the seamless use of technology in all curriculum areas and promoting technology is essential in today's 21st Century Classroom. The Arizona Technology Integration Matrix can help support the full integration of technology in Arizona’s schools.” This session will familiarize you with the five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments with five levels of technology integration, and how they can help you support a technology infused student-centered classroom.

KS4 students from Moselle School and students from Haringey 6th Form Centre had a great time working with 21st Century Classroom at the BBC making this podcast about change.
