A big issue hangs over university students and professors, and that's artificial intelligence. There are some rules and guidelines, but professors are largely left on their own to determine how much they want to adopt AI or not – and that's created a wide range of opinions. Today, we hear from five Canadian university professors about how they're thinking about education and students in the world of AI. We speak with Amanda Perry, professor of literature at Champlain College-Saint Lambert and Concordia University; Matt Dinan, associate professor and director of the Great Books program at St Thomas University in New Brunswick; Sarah Elaine Eaton, professor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary; Adegboyega Ojo, professor and Canada Research Chair in AI Governance at Carleton University; and Mike Welland, professor of Engineering Physics at McMaster University. A previous version of the show notes incorrectly identified the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

One of the most commonly-touted benefits of AI is its ability to cut down toil and give workers more time to focus on valuable tasks.Few professionals could arguably benefit from this more than teachers, who spend many of their evenings and weekend hours completing paperwork and carrying out marking.How is AI already being used to free up time for teachers, and what can we learn from exemplar organizations leading the way on this path?In this special edition of the ITPro Podcast, in association with AWS, Jane and Rory are joined by Scott Hayden, head of teaching, learning and digital at Basingstoke College of Technology, to explore how the college has deployed AI to support its teaching staff.Read more:Basingstoke College of TechnologyPerform PartnersHelping BCoT Secure $25K Credits to Accelerate AI Growth: How OGVA Enables Innovation in Further Education

Emiliana Vegas is one of Latin America's leading voices in education policy. Originally from Venezuela, she studied at Harvard and went on to senior roles at the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, where—as Division Chief of Education—she managed a portfolio of over $3B a year in grants and loans. In this conversation, she reflects on what it really takes to move from evidence to systems change inside international development organisations. We discuss her new book, Let's Change the World, and the practical lessons she draws for people working in or with multilaterals: why evidence must travel with values; how autonomy and judgment at the task-team level shape outcomes; the cultural and governance differences between the World Bank and the IDB; and what “cross-regional learning” looks like in practice. Emiliana walks through the Chile reform episode on quality assurance, the importance of co-creation with governments, and her personal “70/30 rule” for knowing when it's time to seek a new challenge. We also reflected upon Latin America's education journey in recent years — from the expansion of access to the enduring challenge of learning — and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Mark talks with Lynn about her introduction to modeling instruction right at the beginning of her teaching career and how modeling works so well with the specific AP physics areas of focus. Lynn reminds us that when we are the only teachers of a certain STEM subject at our school, it is incredibly important to find community beyond the walls of our school. They talk about gender equity in our science classrooms. As always, Mark asks his guest to share her best modeling tips for teachers. Finally, they talk about adapting to the annual requests for doing some new thing in all classrooms. Guest Lynn Jorgensen After graduating from BYU with a degree in Physics Teaching, Lynn Jorgensen took a few years off to raise her family. She then began her teaching career in 2015 at Gilbert High School. As a singleton teacher finding a community of support and relevant PD became her primary focus. These searches led Lynn to the Arizona section of AAPT and STEMteachersPHX. Serving as vice president for AzAAPT for a number of years. She started working with Arizona State University's modeling instruction program as she earned her Masters of Natural Science (physics) degree. Working with the Modeling community lead her to serve on the executive board of AMTA. She has also served on the K-12 task force with AAPT, as well as a teacher fellow on the InterAmerican Teacher Education Network. In every opportunity Lynn has looked for ways to strengthen her teaching skills and to try to reach as many students as she can each year. Highlights [4:17] Lynn Orgensen "you might know physics, but modeling helps you understand how to actually get your information across to your students." [8:44] Lynn Orgensen "modeling really helps fill that gap with AP to really help students understand how things are connected and that there's these relationships. Not just an equation, but we can focus on the graphs. There's multiple forms of representation, which is all of the kind of things AP loves to hear and to see" [18:27] Lynn Orgensen "there is absolutely something to be said for having a community of like-minded people wanting to just help each other be better."

Peace talks took center stage at the White House as President Trump hosted Ukraine's Zelenskyy—who even showed up in a suit—alongside top EU leaders, with Trump promising U.S. backing for European security guarantees and pushing for a face-to-face with Putin next. Meanwhile, a Tax Foundation analysis says Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill” delivers Michigan families an average $3,000 tax cut while boosting jobs nationwide, and fresh FBI numbers rank Saginaw and Detroit among America's most violent cities—fueling debates over crime, leadership, and policy priorities.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comNew gear is here!

Send us a textFrom my own shift from the world of engineering to the vibrant classrooms of teaching, I've experienced firsthand the electrifying impact of project-based learning (PBL) on both engagement and academic success. In our latest episode, I peel back the layers of this educational revolution, revealing how PBL not only boosted student performance but also increased attendance and diminished disciplinary issues. I open up about the inception of a PBL-centered school within a school, offering a blueprint for empowering leadership in education that could rewrite the narrative for students and teachers alike.The conversation takes an inspiring turn as we introduce Maureen, a relentless advocate for inclusivity and personalized learning who is deeply committed to lifting up marginalized communities. With her at the helm of a micro school, we go deep with the concept of these small, relationship-focused educational settings that strike a delicate balance between traditional practices and the innovative changes crucial for addressing each student's individual journey. Maureen's story is a testament to the power of aligning teaching with passion and creating an educational culture that leaves a lasting impact.We then cast a spotlight on the groundbreaking Microschool Grant Program with Getting Smart, exploring how it's fueling small schools in underprivileged areas to blossom and innovate. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the symbiotic relationship between education and business partnerships, and the ripple effect of students who return to their alma maters as educators, keeping the legacy of a nurturing the system alive.

Hello everyone! Last week, we launched episode 300 with my talk with the wonderful Joe Dombrwoski! I cannot believe we are at episode 300 of the Teach Me, Teacher podcast. Truly astounded by their support everyone has had for the show over the years, and am grateful for every guest who has ever come to the show. In this episode, we continue talking about authenticity, but also stray into how accurate of a show Abbott Elementary is, Goats, and of course, the big topic of changing education for the better.  Joe Dombrowski—Mr. D—comedian extraordinaire—has returned to Teach Me, Teacher and has done so with full force! We cover A LOT in this episode, but mainly, we discuss why authenticity in your life matters. What it can do for you. What doors it can open…  Joe Dombrowski (aka Mr.D) took the world by storm in 2017 with a viral April Fools' Day spelling test prank that landed him multiple appearances on the Ellen DeGeneres show. Don't get it twisted though! It takes at least 20 years to be an overnight sensation! Joe has been doing stand up comedy since he was eight years old in his third grade talent show. He's never stopped! Since Joe rise to fame, he has been traveling the globe with his stand-up comedy which often highlights his crazy life as an elementary school teacher. When he's not getting creative on screens and stages, Joe spends his time in Seattle, Washington producing his podcast “Social Studies” where he recaps absolutely insane stories from teachers all over the world.   This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their new book, A Teacher's Guide to Mentor Texts, Grades K-5 by Carl Anderson. Using mentor texts in the writing classroom can be a real game-changer for teachers.  But how can we help teachers find mentor texts on their own, analyze them for teaching points, and use them effectively in the classroom? Carl Anderson's newest book offers a five-step plan for improving student writing using mentor texts. Over 23 classroom videos, annotated samples, student samples, and online resources bring the content to life and give teachers the confidence to find and use mentor texts as powerful teaching tools. Learn more and download a free sample at Hein.pub/MentorK5.

Julie also reveals five critical decisions and questions for educators and leaders that intersect with the three truths. “With how events have unfolded in the last eighteen months, we really need to make some fundamental changes reflected by these three truths, and our future depends on it.” - Julie Jungalwala This week on Insert:Human ●      Defining the three truths of education●      Why schools are an institute of knowing and not an institute of learning●      How schools need to reorient themselves to help kids be more autonomous●      Enabling human beings to change, learn, and grow continually for the rest of their lives●      How cultural bias affects the educational system●      How the educational system doesn't leverage what we know about how human beings learn and grow●      How experimentation, feedback, and the chance to try again are fundamental to success●      Five critical decisions and questions for any system of education Resources Mentioned: ●      Podcast: The Reinvention Mandate with Julie Jungalwala●      Book: Helping People Change: Coaching with Compassion for Lifelong Learning and Growth by Richard Boyatzis, Melvin Smith, and Ellen Van Oosten Connect with Julie Jungalwala: ●      Academic Leadership Group●      Institute for the Future of Learning●      Reinvention Mandate●      Book: The Human Side of Changing Education: How to Lead Change With Clarity, Conviction, and Courage●      Julie Jungalwala on LinkedIn●      Julie Jungalwala on Twitter Insert:Human - For a Better Life & Better World Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Insert:Human.

We've all heard of teacher and staff shortages and parents pulling kids from public school because of curriculum issues. It seems, schools are stressed.According to a 2020 survey conducted by teachers' union, the National Education Association, 55% of educators are thinking about leaving the profession earlier than they planned. But its not just teachers, according to the teachers union everyone from janitors to bus drivers to cooks are looking for a way out.5 Things Sunday host James Brown sat down with USA TODAY education reporter Alia Wong and Sydney Boyega, a Texas teacher who inspired this episode, to try to understand what is happening in schools.According to Boyega, there is a lot of misconceptions about teachers. She said people think because they went to a K-12 school that teaching is easy. She compares that to saying you can direct the movie 'Star Wars' just because you've watched it a couple of times.Follow James Brown and Alia Wong on Twitter.For more on the teacher shortages and how education in being impacted read: Teacher shortage 2020: Charts, maps show the data by state.Biden, job search companies partner to take on teacher shortage.Schools wouldn't have teacher shortages if they helped, supported them - USA TODAY.Middle school science teachers often struggle with shaky scientific knowledge.

In this episode, Co-founder and General Partner of 1517 Fund Danielle Strachman joins us to talk about her perspective on the current state of education and the importance of changing it from a students center perspective. Danielle is passionate about progressive education, all the way from homeschooling and giving kids freedom and autonomy to build new things, to backing founders at the earliest stages of their careers and companies. We dive deep into homeschooling, the charter student-led project based learning model, the importance of compassionate connection and non-coercion in learning and how and why we should empower the talent of kids. Furthermore we tackle the venture capital system and how Danielle through 1517 fund focuses on backing founders that are getting their education through starting a business rather than attending university.

Melissa Dean is a classroom educator with over 20 years of teaching, coaching and mentoring experience, having taught all the way from K to Grade 12. She is passionate about assessment and evaluation, and education reform, particularly in the area of mathematics. When she is not teaching, she can be found running, writing, drinking coffee or working part-time at a local bakery specializing in sourdough bread. She is known for her infectious laugh and ridiculous jokes. Most recently, she is an author who's recent release, Unravel School, brings to life the idea of leveling up and disrupting the experience of learning. Key Takeaways: Now is the time to dream big in education. We sometimes need to be pushed to a higher level of success because we are stuck in the starting blocks. Trust and respect is key for assisting in career decisions. We need to keep our ears open for progress by truly listening. Don't lose sight of the human side of education. Education should be open spaced, collaborative areas where students are supported as needed at the level they need. We need to think about how what we do impacts who we are. Remember to always presume positive intentions. Listen to understand instead of waiting to respond.
