In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Thomas, dessen beruflicher Weg alles andere als geradlinig verlief – und genau deshalb so inspirierend ist. Seine Karriere begann mit einer Lehre, die nicht wirklich zu ihm passte. Doch anstatt sich damit abzufinden, folgte er seiner inneren Stimme, wagte Veränderungen, bildete sich weiter und ging schließlich den mutigen Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit. Heute führt er ein Unternehmen, das sich auf die Entwicklung von 21st Century Skills spezialisiert hat – mit einer digitalen Lernplattform, die Menschen hilft, Zukunftskompetenzen zu entwickeln. Thomas teilt offen, wie er mit Zweifeln und Umwegen umgegangen ist, warum echte Veränderung immer im Kopf beginnt und wie wichtig es ist, sich selbst zu erlauben, Neues auszuprobieren. Besonders spannend: Welche Rolle Mindset, Umfeld und kleine Reflexionsroutinen auf seinem Weg gespielt haben – und wie du sie selbst nutzen kannst, um deine eigene berufliche Entwicklung in die Hand zu nehmen. Eine Folge für alle, die spüren, dass da noch mehr geht – und sich fragen, wie der erste Schritt aussehen könnte.

Deborah Schnabel hat die ersten 18 Jahre ihres Lebens in Deutschland, Frankfurt verbracht. Sie ist jüdisch sozialisiert und hat Wurzeln in Polen, Italien und Litauen. Ihre Großeltern sind Holocaust Überlebende. Flucht war ein elementarer Bestandteil ihres Lebens. Das hat Deborah Schnabel sicherlich ebenso geprägt wie die Tatsache, dass sie auch selbst Antisemitismus erfahren hat. Daraus entstand früh der Wunsch, sich für mehr Gerechtigkeit, soziales Miteinander und Demokratie einzusetzen. So hat sie sich während ihrer Schulzeit bei Amnesty International und später als Mentorin für Geflüchtete eingesetzt. Mit ihrem heutigen Partner, der selbst aus Eritrea geflüchtet und muslimisch ist, hat sie sich für den muslimisch-jüdischen Dialog engagiert. Andere Kulturen und Länder haben Deborah Schnabel schon immer fasziniert, weshalb sie nach dem Abitur zunächst einige Monate nach Spanien und dann in die USA gereist ist. Sie hat Auslandspraktika in Belgien, China sowie Studienaufenthalte in den Niederlanden absolviert. Während ihres Studiums reiste sie mehrfach länger nach Asien und die Pazifik Region. Ihre akademische Karriere hat Deborah Schnabel in verschiedenen Bereichen der Psychologie absolviert. Dazu gehört der Bereich Medienpsychologie, Personal- und Organisationspsychologie sowie die Interkulturelle Psychologie. Ihre Dissertation hat sie zur Messung und Entwicklung Interkultureller Kompetenzen in verschiedenen Sprachen und Ländern verfasst. Nachdem sie mehrere Jahre im Bereich der interkulturellen Kompetenzvermittlung gearbeitet hat, entschied Sie sich stärker in den Bereich der Digitalen Bildung einzutauchen. Schon immer hatte Sie eine sehr hohe digitale Affinität: „Mich faszinieren die Schnelligkeit, der Fortschritt, die neuen Möglichkeiten. Gleichermaßen ist es mir ein Anliegen, die Herausforderungen und Gefahren zu erforschen und aktiv dazu beizutragen, diesen entgegenzuwirken.“ Zunächst hat Sie sich mit den Möglichkeiten der digitalen Bildung sowie den Bedarfen am Erwerb sogenannter 21st Century Skills beschäftigt. In diesem Bereich hat sie ein Start-up gegründet, dass sie bis 2021 erfolgreich geführt hat. Nachdem sie einige Jahre in der Hochschulwelt verbracht hat und mit 31 Jahren zur Professorin für Angewandte Psychologie berufen wurde und 2 Jahre lang als solche gearbeitet hat, entschied sich Deborah Schnabel Ende 2019 aufgrund der sich in Deutschland politisch verschärften Lage (siehe Erfolg der AfD etc.) in den Bereich der Politischen Bildungsarbeit zu wechseln. So trat sie 2020 als Stellvertretende Direktorin in die Bildungsstätte Anne Frank ein. Dort hatte sie ein sehr spannendes Arbeitsfeld: „Ich sollte den Bereich Digitales komplett neu aufbauen. Dazu zählte es, digitale Bildung zu etablieren, aber auch Radikalisierung und Diskriminierung im Netz zu erforschen und entsprechende Gegenmaßnahmen zu etablieren.“ Dabei entstand eine Reihe digitaler Projekte (siehe unten): Das Smartphone Serious Game „Hidden Codes” zur Radikalisierungsprävention im Netz Die Kampagne #GemeinsamgegenAntisemitismus auf TikTok Social Media Bildungsangebote zur Radikalisierungsprävention in teilöffentlichen Gruppen auf Facebook und Telegram im Rahmen des Aktionsplans Rechtsextremismus der Deutschen Bundesregierung Zudem hat Deborah Schnabel interne Strukturen, Formate und Kompetenzen aufgebaut, die es uns heute ermöglichen, zu den Vorreitern in Deutschland in diesem Feld zu gehören. Seit Ende 2021 leitet Deborah Schnabel die Bildungsstätte als Direktorin. Aktuell befasst sie sich unter anderem damit, wie sich auf TikTok seit Jahren ein mediales Paralleluniversum rechter bis rechtsextremer Accounts herausgebildet, das auf die Meinungsbildung junger Menschen einen maßgeblichen Einfluss hat. Zudem beschäftigt sich Deborah damit welche Auswirkungen künstliche Intelligenz auf die Demokratie hat. Dazu ist kürzlich der Sammelband Code und Vorurteil u.a. von ihr herausgegeben worden.

Pendidikan 21st Century Skills itu kayak update-an penting buat kita yang lagi sekolah atau belajar. Di zaman sekarang, kita nggak cuma perlu bisa hafalin informasi, tapi juga perlu punya keterampilan kayak berpikir kritis, kolaboratif, kreatif, dan bisa berkomunikasi dengan baik. Jadi, nggak cuma pintar di buku pelajaran aja, tapi juga pintar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan di dunia kerja nanti. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/praudcast/message

Ist Erschöpfung mittlerweile zur Gesellschaftsdiagnose geworden? Sind wir wirklich alle schon so fertig? Diese Fragen hat sich unser Interviewgast in seinem aktuellen Buch „die große Erschöpfung und die Quellen der Kraft“ auch gestellt. Er ist der Meinung, dass es zwar schon immer ermattete Menschen gab, die derzeitige Kumulation und die Dauerschleife an Krisen führt jedoch dazu, dass nun auch jene Menschen belastet sind, die bisher sehr gut mit all den Anforderungen zurechtgekommen sind. Aber, Erschöpfung kommt in erster Linie von Sinnverlust und Fremdbestimmung und ist eine Folge von richtigen und falschen Entscheidungen, die man im Leben getroffen hat. Und, wir entscheiden selbst, ob wir erschöpft sind oder nicht. Die gute Nachricht: Es gibt Möglichkeiten, sich selbst zu stärken und seine eigenen inneren Quellen der Kraft zu nützen, um resilienter zu werden und weniger erschöpft zu sein. Mit Andreas Salcher haben wir nicht nur über den Mythos Erschöpfung gesprochen, sondern auch über die jungen Menschen als vermeintlich verlorene Generation, ihre Potentiale und Chancen am Arbeitsmarkt und die Bedeutung der 21st Century Skills. Und…natürlich ein kleiner Exkurs zur Bildung und zu unserem Bildungssystem ist auch dabei.

Mit der Vision, die zukünftige Arbeitswelt zu gestalten, ist unser heutiger Podcast-Gast Thomas Kleindessner, CEO und Co-Founder von Leaders21. Seine Passion ist die Weiterentwicklung von Mitarbeiter:innen und Leader:innen, weshalb er uns heute einen Einblick in die 21st Century Skills gibt, die es in der heutigen (Arbeits-)Welt braucht und welchen Mehrwert Leaders21 dabei liefert. Viel Spaß beim Hören! [01:38] Tom erzählt über seinen beruflichen Werdegang von der klassischen Lehre und den ausschlaggebenden Stationen, die ihn letztendlich dazu bewegt haben Leaders21 zu gründen. Ein spannender, motivierender und auch inspirierender Weg, der von einem Mix aus Zufällen und Eigeninitiative geprägt ist.[10:14] Mit dem Start bei Runtastic hat Tom die Organisations- und Mitarbeiter:innenentwicklung übernommen. Welche Maßnahmen er dabei auf den verschiedenen Ebenen gesetzt hat, erzählt er ausführlich. Interessant sind vor allem auch die 3 Prinzipien, die es laut Tom bei der Entwicklung von Mitarbeitenden und Organisationen braucht. [18:35] Lenken wir den Fokus auf sein Startup Leaders21: Tom spricht über die Gründung, wofür der Unternehmensname steht und gibt mehr Einblicke in die bereits erwähnten 21st Century Skills und das dahinter liegende Modell. [27:53] Das Herzstück von Leaders21 ist die erst kürzlich gelaunchte 21st Century Skills Development Plattform, die Weiterentwicklung individuell, digital und kontinuierlich ermöglicht. Hier erfährst du, welchen Mehrwert die Plattform für die eigene Entwicklung, die Zusammenarbeit im Team und natürlich auch für gezielte Maßnahmen im Unternehmen bietet. Spoiler Alert: Du kannst die Plattform kostenlos und unverbindlich testen![40:37] Leaders21 bietet kontinuierliches Lernen, aber ab wann bzw. wie ist die Weiterentwicklung sichtbar oder Veränderungen spürbar? Tom erzählt hier aus seiner eigenen Erfahrung, den Erkenntnissen der Beta-Kund:innen, ihrem Feedback und den Anstößen für weitere spannende Funktionen und Features.[46:25] Wie gewohnt, stellt Florian zum Abschluss einige persönliche Fragen. Dabei geht es in dieser Folge um das Verständnis von Leadership, Investitionen in sich selbst, die Definition von Erfolg, Tom's eigene Gründungsreise und weitere interessante Themen.Die Buchempfehlung “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” von Stephen R. Covey findest du in der deutschen und englischen Version.Alle Infos und Details zu den 21st Century Skills und der 21st Century Skills Development Plattform findest du unter www.leaders21.com.

Think that you can't do STEM in your classroom because you don't have tons of expensive materials or fancy technology and equipment?  As a STEM lab teacher for the past 5 years, I can tell you the most used materials in my lab were tape, cardboard, and popsicle sticks!  While 3-D printers and robotics are cool and a great resource for learning 21st Century Skills, they aren't the only tools needed to successfully complete STEM activities.  Here are three STEM challenges you can easily complete in your classroom within the first week of school.  These fun challenges will not only introduce your students to some basic STEM concepts but also provide insight into the dynamics of your new group of students that could help shape your classroom throughout the year!

Why is inquiry-based learning such a powerful part of modern education? In this episode of Fueling Creativity, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood speak with Dr. Frank LaBanca, a teacher, educational researcher, and change agent based in Connecticut. Frank is one of the few public-school principals, nationally, that teaches students in his own classroom. Tune in to learn his approach to inquiry-based learning, a significant part of his strategic planning in founding the Westside Middle School Academy Magnet.    Frank shares why he prioritizes inquiry-based learning in the classroom over other approaches to education as well as the role of inquiry-based learning in developing creativity and problem-solving skills. He speaks on the power of teaching students to ask meaningful questions, how he does that, and how he helps teachers develop the capacity to implement and manage project-based learning in the classroom.    “Inquiry is questioning and investigation. In that simple elegance, it's a wonderful way to approach learning because children can ask meaningful questions and seek their own idiosyncratic, diverse methods to try to solve those problems.” - Dr. Frank LaBanca   Frank also highlights the value of teachers not being the ultimate evaluators of students' work, rather their work being evaluated by others in the real world. Then, he divulges how he selected new faculty for his school, the challenges he and his administrative colleagues are currently facing, and how his creative projects outside of school that inspire his professional development.   Frank's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Spend time problem-finding. Don't rush students through the process of developing ideas for study. Don't be afraid of what you don't know. Let it be exciting to not have answers for your students'/kids' questions. Have confidence to facilitate the process of finding their own answers. There's a continuum between developing ideas and solving ideas.  Don't be focused on just solving ideas.   “Developing questions takes time and students need and deserve the time to go through that process of evaluating questions.” - Dr. Frank LaBanca   “I think a really important part of inquiry is you learn to do and about at the same time.” - Dr. Frank LaBanca   Resources Mentioned: Listen to the episode with Natalie NixonListen to the episode with Jeffrey Davis Listen to the episode with Dr. Vlad Glaveanu Eager to bring more creativity into your home or classroom?  Access a variety of creativity resources and tools & listen to more episodes of The Fueling Creativity Podcast by visiting our website,  www.CreativityandEducation.com.   Subscribe to our monthly newsletter!   You can also find The Fueling Creativity Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, and PodBean!

Das ist Folge 629 mit Gründer von Runtasitic und Investor Florian Gschwandtner. Willkommen zu Unternehmerwissen in 15 Minuten. Mein Name ist Rayk Hahne, Ex-Profisportler und Unternehmensberater.  Jede Woche bekommst Du eine sofort anwendbare Trainingseinheit, damit Du als Unternehmer noch besser wirst.  Danke das Du Die Zeit mit mir verbringst. Lass uns mit dem Training beginnen. Wenn Dir die Folge gefällt, teile Sie mit Deinen Freunden unter dem Link raykhahne.de/629. In der heutigen Folge geht es um, die Arbeit vor dem Erfolg. Welche 3 wichtigen Punkte kannst Du Dir aus dem heutigen Training mitnehmen? Wie Eltern Dich auch falsch prägen können. Was alles gegen Dich spricht. Wie Du dennoch erfolgreich wirst. Du kennst sicher jemanden für den diese Folge unglaublich wertvoll ist. Teile sie mit ihm, der Link ist raykhahne.de/629 . Bevor wir gleich mit der Folge starten, habe ich noch eine Empfehlung für Dich. Diesmal in eigener Sache. Es ist Zeit durchzustarten. Du willst Deine Arbeitszeit reduzieren und gleichzeitig Deine Gewinne steigern? Du willst wissen welche Werkzeuge die ganz großen Unternehmen anwenden, die den kleinen Unternehmen aber verborgen bleiben? Dann ist der Unternehmerkader spannend für Dich. Unter raykhahne.de/kader kannst Du Dir genau anschauen wie unser Jahresprogramm Dir dabei hilft Deinen perfekten Unternehmertag näher zu kommen. Du wirst lernen mit welchen Leistungssportlereigenschaften Du als Unternehmer noch besser wirst und damit Deine Lebensbereiche gleichmäßig steigerst. Mehr dazu unter raykhahne.de/kader Rayk: Willkommen Florian Gschwandtner! Bist Du ready für die heutige Trainingseinheit? Florian: Natürlich! Hallo! Schön, dass ich da sein darf! Rayk: Lass uns gleich starten! Was sind die drei wichtigsten Punkte, die wir über Dich wissen sollten in Bezug auf Beruf, Vergangenheit und etwas Privates? Florian: 1. Ich bin Investor und Start-up-Gründer. 2. Ich war in der Landwirtschaftsschule und mit Runtastic mein Projekt gestartet. 3. Ich liebe Sport und gehe am Wochenende gerne mal weg. Rayk: Was ist Deine spezielle Expertise? Viele kennen Dich aus den Zeiten von Runtastic. Jetzt habt ihr ein neues Thema. Was machst Du aktuell? Florian: Über die letzten zehn Jahre hinweg haben wir gesehen, wie wichtig Leadership und – wir nennen es – Twenty first Century Skills sind. Da gehören Kommunikation, Kollaboration, Achtsamkeit und ganz viele Basiselemente hinein. Wir haben dann im Unternehmen zwei Tage lang ein Leadership-Training gemacht, alle waren super aufgeregt. Was ist da passiert? Jeder war danach wieder im Daily Business und nichts ist in Wahrheit passiert. Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass im 21. Jahrhundert Führung anders aussehen muss, auch Mitarbeiterentwicklung. Auf der einen Seite sind wir old school, machen Consulting für viele Unternehmen vom Start-up über KMU bis zum Großkonzern. Dieses Lernen wollen wir in eine digitale Plattform verpacken, in eine Software. Gerade sind wir ganz am Anfang und nächstes Jahr wird die Beta-Version bzw. das MVP herauskommen. Rayk: Wenn man sich Deine Sternstunden so anschaut: Das perfekte Leben, jung, vermögend, gesund. Aber was war Deine berufliche Weltmeisterschaft, Deine größte Herausforderung? Wie hast Du diese überwunden? Florian: Ich bin auf dem Bauernhof großgeworden – als zweites von drei Kindern. Da mein Bruder nicht Bauer werden wollte, war der Reihenfolge entsprechend ich als nächster dran. Bei meinen Eltern ist das immer noch eine offene Diskussion. Sie haben mich ein bisschen dazu gezwungen, fünf Jahre in die Landwirtschaftsschule zu gehen und dort mein Abitur zu machen. Aber das war wirklich etwas, das mich null interessiert hat. Und wenn man etwas tut, bei dem man keine Passion hat, keinen Spaß hat, dann ist das schon schwierig. Ich habe, Gott sei Dank, verstanden, dass mir das Abitur helfen wird, nachher frei entscheiden zu können und zu dürfen. Ich habe das Abitur gemacht und dann Technik studiert. Software Engineering für mobile Endgeräte hat sich gut angehört, aber auch das war nicht zu 100 % meins. Ich habe nie diesen Mentor oder diese Person gehabt, die sagt, sie glaube an mich und dass ich alles richtig mache und nicht schon mit 21 alles verstehen und der Beste sein müsse. Dann habe ich mein zweites Studium gemacht. Long story short: Erst mit der Gründung von Runtastic habe ich zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben das machen dürfen, was mir wirklich Spaß gemacht hat. Diese Ausbildungen haben mir alle geholfen, der Kommunikator zwischen Technik und Wirtschaft zu sein. Das ist die Message für alle da draußen – egal, ob jung oder alt, ob Startup oder mittelständischer Betrieb: Es ist ganz wichtig, die richtigen Menschen zusammenzubringen, um zu verstehen, wie man das Potenzial herausholt. Das ist das, was ich ganz gut kann: motivieren und verstehen, wen ich miteinander verbinde. Rayk: Bei vielen ist das ja falsch geprägt und sie denken, dass man schnell mal eine App programmiert und dann hat man es im Leben geschafft. Kannst Du mit uns teilen, wie das bei Dir war? Wie viel Herzblut ist da reingegangen, wie viele schlaflosen Nächte? Florian: „Each overnight success took at least eight to ten years.” Wie oft lesen wir denn über die 99 % der Dinge, die nicht funktioniert haben? Die stehen halt nicht so in den Medien. Wie war die Zeit? Die Zeit war brutal schwer. Wir haben 2009 gestartet, gerade nach der Wirtschaftskrise und die österreichische Start-up-Szene war nicht vorhanden. Wir hatten unsere Idee, hatten unseren Businessplan geschrieben und hätten gern Risikokapital, eine Sicherung, ein Investment abgeholt – hat natürlich jeder gewusst, warum es nicht funktionieren wird. Wer soll denn jemals mit einem Smartphone laufen gehen? Es machte absolut keinen Sinn. Und jedes Nein war für mich im Kopf ein Ja mehr. Ich musste das umso mehr probieren und nicht aufgeben, nur weil andere Leute meinten, das ginge nicht. Dann war es eine intensive Zeit: Wir haben am Wochenende gearbeitet, wir haben in Österreich Apps für andere Firmen programmiert. All das Geld vom Wochenende haben wir dazu verwendet, die ersten Mitarbeiter zu bezahlen. Meine drei Gründerkollegen und ich haben die ersten 18 Monate null Euro verdient, dann in den zwei Jahren danach etwa 1.000 € brutto. Das Gute ist: Wenn Du am Tag 15 bis 18 Stunden arbeitest hast Du keine Zeit zum Geldausgeben. Nach 18 Monaten ist aus dem Kerngeschäft unser Cashflow positiv geworden. Dann haben die Leute angeklopft. Aber wir waren in der starken Lage, zu sagen, dass wir jetzt keinen brauchen. Die Zeit war tatsächlich schön, sie war aber auch brutal und von ganz viel Fleiß gesegnet, sicherlich auch mit Glück im Sinne vom richtigen Timing. Timing ist ganz entscheidend. Ich habe damals drei wunderbare Gründerkollegen gefunden. Wir haben uns in den Eigenschaften, im Tun und Sein so gut ergänzt, dass wir noch heute gute Freunde sind und gemeinsam 30 Start-up-Investments haben. Das ist wahrscheinlich das größte Glück im Leben, dass eine Freundschaft auch über den Erfolg hinaus bestehen kann. Rayk: Vielen Dank, dass Du da so transparent bist. Was ist danach passiert? Du hast die Sache letzten Endes übergeben und Dich aus der Verantwortung gezogen. Jetzt bin ich am Ziel und es war mega anstrengend. Aber was kommt denn jetzt? Florian: Alle wollen einen Marathon laufen. Dann laufen sie hin und haben nie überlegt „What next?“ und dann fallen sie in ein Loch, Depressionen und Sonstiges. Das Ende schon im Kopf haben! Mein Ende war schon immer, das Runtastic eine saubere Firma ist, die wirtschaftlich so funktioniert, dass wir alle davon leben können. Das ist ja alles noch besser ausgegangen. Wir sind Teil der Adidas Gruppe und ich hätte dort eine Rolle übernehmen können. Ich habe für mich gewusst, dass ich Unternehmer bin, der gerne Start-ups, neue Ideen vom Kopf in die reale Welt herausbringt. Ich habe meinen Ausstieg gut vorbereitet, über viele Monate, und Runtastic gut übergeben. Mir war es ganz wichtig, dass die Firma auch ohne mich funktioniert. Darum muss man gut delegieren, abgeben und bewusst ein bisschen weniger da sein. Manche Dinge laufen sogar besser. Man ist nicht unersetzbar, das sind wir alle nicht. Die Zeit danach war schon hart. Ich habe 8 Wochen Auszeit auf Hawaii gemacht und wurde nicht mehr gebraucht, musste nicht mehr alle Entscheidungen treffen. Das war eine verrückte Phase. Nun bin ich in einer neuen Position, bei der ich nicht mehr alles selbst entscheiden muss. Mir macht es viel Spaß, auch mal im Beifahrersitz sitzen und Leuten meine Erfahrung mitgeben zu dürfen. Rayk: Was dürfen wir bei Deinem neuen Thema erwarten? Was ist da so das Kernthema, das ihr vermittelt? Florian: Das Kernthema ist Leadership. Wir glauben, dass Leadership nicht nur Führungspersonen haben sollten, sondern auch Mitarbeiter*innen. Jeder sollte Zugang zu Wissen haben und jeder sollte die Chance haben, während der Woche in der Arbeitszeit auch zu lernen. Es muss ein kontinuierlicher Prozess sein. Wir denken so an ein bis zwei Stunden pro Woche und wollen die Plattform sein, die den roten Faden beim Lernen hat. Da wird es theoretische Aktivitäten geben, aber auch praktische. Du wirst Dein eigenes Profil haben. Es wäre auch spannend, wenn sich die Leute über gleiche Themen miteinander austauschen. Wir glauben einfach daran, dass die kontinuierliche Weiterbildung täglich Brot für jeden sein muss. Egal, ob Tischlerbetrieb, Start-up oder Konzern mit 60.000 Mitarbeitern. Rayk: Wie können wir mit Dir in Kontakt treten? Wie können wir mehr über diese Plattform erfahren, um Dich in Deiner Mission voranzutreiben und zu unterstützen? Florian: Über Instagram – florian.gschwandtner oder leaders21.com. Natürlich über LinkedIn – ich oder das Unternehmen. Dann gibt es noch unter leaders21 unseren Leadership-Podcast. Oder einfach über die Internetseite www.leaders21.com. Rayk: Vielen Dank, dass Du Deine Zeit und Deine Erfahrung mit uns geteilt hast. Ich freue mich auf das nächste Gespräch mit Dir. Florian: Sehr gerne!   die Shownotes zu dieser Folge findest Du unterde/629 alle Links habe ich Dir dort aufbereitet und Du kannst die Inhalte der Folge noch einmal nachlesen   Dir hat die Folge gefallen und Du konntest sofort etwas umsetzen? Dann sei ein Held für jemanden und teile diese Folge.: Erst den Podcast abonnieren unter raykhahne.de/podcast , oder folge mir bei Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn oder YouTube; denn ich bin hier, um Dich als Unternehmer noch besser zu machen. Danke das Du die Zeit mit uns verbracht hast. Das Training ist vorbei, jetzt liegt es an Dir. Viel Spaß mit der Umsetzung.

Many would say that teacher professional development is a luxury during this time of crisis for educators. Esben Stærk believes it is more important than ever. In this episode of EdTech today, he describes how LEGO, in conjunction with Tufts University, developed courses for teachers to be inspired by LEGO products no matter what the current learning scenario may be.LEGO Education this month announced LEGO Education Professional Development, a personalized, competency-based learning program that inspires and actively engages teachers in facilitating playful and hands-on STEAM learning. With a research-based approach, classroom videos, and on-demand flexibility, LEGO Education Professional Development enables teachers to choose courses that fit their interests and schedules, learn best practices, analyze student learning, and directly apply this knowledge in their classrooms.Going beyond traditional product training, LEGO Education Professional Development is built on the LEGO Education Competency-Based Framework for Educators and empowers teachers to practice and facilitate critical concepts needed to drive student learning outcomes. The framework includes four core categories: Pedagogy, STEAM Concepts, 21st Century Skills, and Classroom Management.Esben Stærk, president of LEGO Education, said: “We are excited to offer a new platform to support teachers' professional development and equip them with strategies and skills to make STEAM learning playful. When teachers are truly confident in playful hands-on learning, they deliver more motivating, engaging, and joyful learning experiences. Combine confident teachers and students together and the classroom becomes a place of endless possibilities limited only by their imagination and creativity."LEGO Education worked closely with seasoned classroom practitioners at Tufts University Center for Engineering Education Outreach (CEEO) to ensure the program was designed for the needs of today's educators. Research from Tufts CEEO supported the LEGO Education view that a self-guided, blended program of competency and product training can provide a meaningful experience for educators and accommodate individual interests and learning preferences.The free online program is modular to give teachers flexibility with two kinds of self-guided learning modules: Learning Bursts for quick and focused skills practice and Learning Quests for deeper competency development. This means teachers can pick and choose courses based on the topic or length and aren't required to follow a predetermined order. Teachers observe playful STEAM learning through videos of real classrooms and teacher interviews that help demonstrate the competencies in a variety of learning environments, including in-person, physically distanced, and virtual classrooms."As educators, we must build confidence in ourselves before we can build confidence in our students. LEGO Education Professional Development offers any educator the opportunity to observe and learn from experienced teachers from anywhere. I can brush up on teaching techniques or coding during my lunch break or even from the comfort of my couch. The engaging and relevant courses not only develop teaching skills, but also build confidence using real-world classroom examples and best practices,” said Jennifer Rodabaugh, STEAM Lab Teacher, Picadome Elementary in Lexington, Kentucky.LEGO Education Professional Development will launch in eight languages and feature LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and LEGO Education BricQ Motion product training with additional LEGO Education solutions added throughout the year.

Traveling through time, visiting imaginary places, witnessing wars and famines, and reliving crusades, is all made possible by reading. It engages visual imagination, invokes emotions, and challenges our preconceived notions and it single-handedly helps us change our mind.  The reading journey begins from making sense of a written word to gathering new information from English, science, or social studies texts to eventually connecting it all to one's own knowledge, ideas, and beliefs. But such a profoundly relevant, complex, and meaningful learning process is often overlooked.On this episode, my guest Kelly Cartwright, Ph.D., who's motto is “Good readers and good thinkers” joins us to discuss why educators must make every attempt to teach executive function skills to actively support reading comprehension.About Kelly B. Cartwright, Ph.D.Kelly B. Cartwright is Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Teacher Preparation at Christopher Newport University (CNU) where she directs the Reading, Executive function, and Development (READ) Lab. Kelly's research explores the development of skilled reading comprehension and the neurocognitive and affective factors that underlie comprehension processes and difficulties from preschool through adulthood. Her work has appeared in Journal of Educational Psychology, Contemporary Educational Psychology, Research in Developmental Disabilities, and a range of other research publications. Her books on reading comprehension include Executive Skills and Reading Comprehension: A Guide for Educators, Word Callers: Small-Group and One-to-One Interventions for Children who “Read” but Don't Comprehend. and Literacy Processes: Cognitive Flexibility in Learning and Teaching, which was nominated for the Ed Fry Book Award in 2008. Kelly has served on the Board of Directors of the Literacy Research Association and was a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. Her research has been supported by grants from the Virginia State Reading Association and the United States Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences. Kelly regularly works with teachers in public and private schools throughout the US to better understand and improve reading comprehension for struggling readers, and these experiences inform her research.Websiteshttps://kellycartwright.comBooksExecutive Skills and Reading Comprehension: A Guide for EducatorsWord Callers: Small-Group and One-to-One Interventions for Children who “Read” but Don't UnderstandLiteracy Processes: Cognitive Flexibility in Learning and TeachingHelpful ResourcesExecutive-Level Thinking: Teaching 21st Century Skills for Effective Reading ComprehensionExecutive Function 101Activities Guide: Enhancing and Practicing Executive Function Skills with Children from Infancy to AdolescenceClassroom Strategies that Facilitate ExecutiveSupport the show (https://mailchi.mp/7c848462e96f/full-prefrontal-sign-up)
