“Students will often refer to voice lessons, to choir rehearsal, as therapy. I felt that there was something to that. I wanted to make the connection between individual therapy and voice lessons and group therapy and the choral rehearsal. What is it about the choral organism that becomes a space that can be therapeutic? I found a lot of commonalities in group and individual counseling and what we do.”Dr. Sarah J. Graham was just promoted to Professor of Music at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, where she teaches courses in music, humanities, ethics, and conducts the Concert Choir. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Whitworth University, a Master of Arts in Classroom Teaching and English from Pacific Lutheran University, and both a Masters and Doctorate in Music Conducting from Michigan State University. She is currently finishing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Capella University in Minneapolis. Dr. Graham has been teaching for over thirty years, twenty of which have been in higher education. Much of her current work has to do with mental health and teaching pedagogy. She recently spent her sabbatical working on an internship in counseling and compiling a 15-week guide for incorporating “Mental Health Moments” into the classroom. At LC State, Graham is a co-founder of the Black History Experience, and a member of the President's Campus and Community Commission. She lives in Lewiston with her daughter and their Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Henry.To get in touch with Sarah, you can find her on Facebook (@drsjg) or Instagram (@drbooncha) or email her at sjgraham@lcsc.edu .Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace HudsonPodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews

With the help of Teacher-Powered Schools, Socol-Moran Partners, Stimpunks, and What School Could Be, we've completed the lineup for our 4th annual virtual Conference to Restore Humanity for July 21-23, focused this year on the Quest for Connection. Tickets are just $50 and you can find out more info at humanrestorationproject.org/conferenceWe're excited to have members of the team from Story Xperiential with us for today's episode, which was recorded way back in 2024. Developed by veterans from Pixar and Khan Academy, Story Xperiential brings the art of professional storytelling into the classroom, giving students the tools to craft and share their own stories using the same creative process as major studios.The program is structured to fit into school schedules, offering a two-part curriculum: Storytelling Essentials, where students develop a story outline into a story reel, and Mastering Storytelling, where they expand their work into a full narrative. Through self-paced lessons, hands-on projects, and a moderated peer feedback system, students not only learn the technical aspects of storytelling but also gain confidence in their creative abilities.One unique aspect of Story Xperiential is how it can be integrated into every subject area, aligning with interdisciplinary content standards -- bringing together social studies and ELA, for example, or STEM and fine arts -- while also fostering skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and visual communication. In this episode, we'll explore how Story Xperiential is being implemented in schools, hear about the impact it's having on students, and discuss how storytelling can be a powerful tool for learning and self-expression.You're gonna be hearing a few voices in this conversation. HRP director Chris McNutt is hosting this one, who you're probably used to hearing on this show, and he'll be talking to a few people on the StoryX team:Dennis Henderson VP of Education and StrategyChief Technical Officer, Tony DeRoseAnd Chief Learning Officer, Brit CruiseYou can learn more and sign your students up at https://www.storyxperiential.com/ Hosted on Acast.

If you're interested in joining us, tickets start at just 50 bucks and you can find the full lineup at humanrestorationproject.org/conferenceToday I'm joined by Christian Moore-Anderson. And I wanted to have Christian on to talk about the ideas that drive his teaching practice and that he shares in his book, Difference Maker: Enacting systems theory in biology teaching. While that title may seem daunting, Christian's teaching would immediately look and feel to observers like “just good teaching.” But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Informing his theory and practice of teaching is a set of related ideas that I was largely unfamiliar with before encountering it in his book: cybernetics, systems theory, and enactivism. Cybernetics is simply a feedback loop. Just as someone steering a ship adjusts the rudder based on feedback from the ocean, so too does good pedagogy depend on what Christian calls “recursive teaching”, or a constant feedback loop of action, interpretation, and learning between teachers and students.

Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges of our era, demanding that educators take an active role in educating students about this global issue. Yet, delving into such a multifaceted and occasionally contentious topic can appear daunting.  In a recent episode of Class Dismissed (Episode 251), we had the privilege of speaking with Mark Windschitl, a distinguished Professor of Science Teaching and Learning at the University of Washington, who also boasts a background as a former middle school science teacher. Windschitl, who has recently published a compelling book titled "Teaching Climate Change: Fostering Understanding, Resilience, and a Commitment to Justice," shared invaluable insights during our conversation. In particular, he discussed his strategies for addressing parental skepticism about climate change. To effectively navigate potential concerns from parents while teaching about climate change, educators can employ several proven strategies: 1. Open and Transparent Communication: At the outset of the school year, initiate a transparent dialogue with parents. Clearly outline your curriculum and educational goals, explicitly mentioning your intention to teach about climate change. Provide parents with an informative overview of the topics you plan to cover. 2. Align with Educational Standards: Emphasize that your approach to teaching climate change adheres to established educational standards and guidelines. Demonstrating this alignment can help parents understand the pedagogical value of the subject matter. 3. Emphasize Reliable Sources: Share with parents the trusted sources and materials you will utilize for teaching climate change. Stress the importance of relying on reputable scientific sources and evidence-based information in the curriculum. Reassure parents that your commitment lies in presenting an accurate and balanced view of the subject. 4. Proactive Engagement: Anticipate potential concerns or objections by considering the possibility of holding parent-teacher meetings or informative sessions dedicated to discussing the content and approach of your climate change curriculum. Furthermore, Windschitl provided a refreshing perspective on the methods we should employ when teaching students about climate change and how we can seamlessly integrate this critical subject into various academic disciplines. His expertise underscores the importance of informed and comprehensive climate change education in our schools today. To delve deeper into Windschitl's insights and discover strategies for implementing similar approaches in your school, tune in to Episode 251 of the Class Dismissed Podcast, available on your preferred podcast platform or the Apple Podcasts App. All Rights Reserved.

In the digital age, it's important to teach students how to use technology as a tool in order to learn and not be left behind. When applied in tandem with design thinking, we can start to teach students how to solve problems in a new and innovative way. Jon Corippo co-founded and developed a series of instructional lesson frames called EduProtocols that are designed to engage students in learning through the 4 C's:   1. Critical thinking 2. Collaboration 3. Communication 4. Creativity   EduProtocols were created to address the need for students to engage in deeper learning using technology as a tool instead of an automation device. Since then, hundreds of classrooms have been converted to Four Cs centered instruction.   Jon is the brains behind the extremely popular Eduprotocols. He has been recognised as a County Teacher of the Year, a National School Boards Association 20 to Watch Educator, an Apple Distinguished Educator, a Google Certified Innovator, and a Microsoft Innovative Educator. Jon has a decade of experience in K-8 education, including building a 1-1 project-based high school and serving in two county offices as Assistant Superintendent and IT Director. Jon is very pleased with his work as CUE's Chief Learning Officer and Executive Director.

And how can history teachers integrate current events into their curricula? Amber Joseph has been a public school social studies teacher in New York City for about a decade, and she currently teaches 8th grade history and civics at East Side Community School in Manhattan.

Description  In this episode, Dr. Rongdao Lai discusses her approach to teaching Buddhism as a living religion, and not only as a philosophy. As an ordained Buddhist nun in the Chinese tradition, she is intimately familiar with the contrasts between the academic study of religion and her own training in Buddhist practices at temples. She aspires to teach all of her students how to develop a critical approach to evaluating the study of Buddhism and its canonical objects: why are certain texts and topics treated as core to the study of Buddhism? The possibility of attending to lived Buddhism and contemporary problems in the study of Buddhism and the world opens up a world of new possibilities for students and professors. Quotes  "I want students to see how people live their Buddhism." Rongdao Lai  "If Buddhism is the only course in the humanities that students take, this is an amazing opportunity to give them something they'll never forget."

In today’s episode, Chase DiMarco talks with Renée Hendriks, a PhD candidate at the Center of Innovation for Medical Education at the Leiden University Medical Center. Renée has done a great deal of research into MOOCs (Massive Open Online Classes) and what makes them effective. Together they discuss the evolution of online learning, the importance of course design and the future of the medium for medical education. When it comes to online learning, it is becoming more prevalent and Renée saw a need to look at its effectiveness. Chase talks about the push back he has seen against online learning and Renée acknowledges this by explaining that with proper design and implementation, online courses are just as effective as face-to -face learning. Speaking about her research, Renée tells us that she has examined 33 different medical MOOCs on a variety of subjects to see what they offer. As well as quality, range of topics and assessment methods, she noticed that they often had teaching modes that facilitated construction of knowledge. This is something often missing in other MOOCs. An important factor in any MOOC is creating active learning. Renée believes that to be effective, the courses have to include activation and motivation. There is also scope for creating greater personalization of learning experiences through student data analysis. Staying on the topic of student issues, Chase and Renée end the episode by discussing how utilizing the 11 principles of course design can allow for educators to create engaging, trackable learning. Renée hopes that the future of education is geared towards a greater emphasis on self-regulated learning to create a strong knowledge base.

In May 2008, Margaret Edson delivered a brilliant commencement at Smith College  dedicated to the glory of classroom teaching. She is a teacher herself, for many years teaching kindergarten (prep grade) in Washington DC and Atlanta, and now teaching sixth grade social studies at Inman Middle School. She's also a Pulitzer Prize winner. Her play, 'Wit', written in 1991, debuted in theatres in 1995, had a run in Connecticut and then off-Broadway in 1997-8, and then ran for 545 performances at the Union Square Theatre between December 1998 and April 2000. Wit won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1999, and the New York Critics' Circle Prize for Best New Play the same year. In 2001, it was made into an Emmy award winning HBO telemovie starring Emma Thompson, and when it re-ran on Broadway in 2012 it won two Tony Awards.  Throughout it all Margaret Edson remained Maggie Edson, classroom teacher. She still is, although she plans to retire in two years. I discovered this speech on a site called The Eloquent Woman, and I think of it as one of the truly great commencement speeches. Structure, delivery, emotion, love, and originality.  The most beautiful tribute to the classroom teacher ever delivered. "This day is a day of love. It’s not a day of achievement, really.  It’s a day of your family’s love for you, your love for each other and your teachers, and your teachers’ love for you." Send it on to a teacher you love.

Rabbi Ariel Burger is the founding director and senior scholar of The Witness Institute, a new project to empower emerging leaders, inspired by the life and legacy of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, to become morally empowered people who will influence their communities. Rabbi Burger is an author, artist, and teacher whose work integrates spirituality, the arts, and strategies for social change.  The Rabbi is the author of Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom (2018), which has been described as taking us "into the sacred space of the classroom, showing Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie Wiesel not only as an extraordinary human being, but as a master teacher," by Burger, "a devoted protégé and friend of [Wiesel,] one of the world’s great thinkers."  An Orthodox-trained rabbi, Ariel received his PhD in Jewish Studies and Conflict Resolution under Elie Wiesel. A lifelong student of Professor Wiesel, Ariel served as his Teaching Fellow from 2003-2008, after which he directed education initiatives at Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. As a Covenant Foundation grantee, Ariel develops cutting-edge arts and educational programming for adults, facilitates workshops for educators, consults to non-profits, and serves as scholar/artist-in-residence for institutions around the U.S. When he’s not learning or teaching, he is creating music, art, and poetry. "I grew up in New York City, an artsy kid in an ultra-Orthodox elementary school, with a blind sister and divorced parents who held very different views on life," Rabbi Burger says. "My quest for meaning and integration, a way to bring together all the elements of my life into a whole, led me to study for seven years in the closest thing to a monastery Judaism offers. I became a rabbi, wrote hundreds of songs and played guitar at Carnegie Hall with Richie Havens, exhibited art in galleries, danced with thousands of Breslover Hasidim at their annual pilgrimage in Ukraine, participated in dialogue groups between Jews, Muslim, and Christians, got married and had four children, got a PhD in religion and conflict transformation, illustrated folktales, became a teacher, worked as an executive at a non-profit for six years, taught, lectured, led workshops on leadership and Design Thinking, and began using storytelling to connect people across communities." Rabbi Burger said he questioned everything in search of an answer, "but it wasn’t until I met Professor Wiesel that I realized that questioning is the answer. He helped guide me to where I am today –  a teacher, artist, speaker, spiritual healer, and now the author of a memoir of the time we spent together." Rabbi Burger notes that his mission "is to help counter superficiality with nuance, to replace estrangement with encounter, and to empower people to be creative and kind citizens of the world."  He lives outside of Boston with his family.

The economic crisis of 2008 was a catalyst for so many of our interviewees to up sticks and hit to road. Lainie Liberti’s marketing business worked with green entities and non-profit organizations who were among the first to feel the pinch. With her business struggling and her 9 year old son Miro not enjoying his school environment Lainie decided they would hit the road for a 12 month adventure through South America. 8 months into the trip they both realized they were loving it enough to continue but savings were starting to dwindle and Lainie knew she needed a more permanent means of educating Miro. She discovered unschooling and became an instrumental advocate for children being world schooled from the environment in which they travel. 8 years on she and her teenage son are still loving their South American adventure. We caught with Lainie in Mexico where she shares the experiences of what made her hit the road and how their unique partnership and approach to education has provided Miro with an environment in which to thrive. You can find out more about their adventures at their travel blog http://www.raisingmiro.com and learn more about the world of unschooling at http://projectworldschool.com   What I learned from this interview: Whether you believe in life outside the education system or not this interview is worth listening to. Lainie has not only gone against the normal approach to education – what she calls radical unschooling – but has thrown the normal mother/child relationship on its head with the partnership arrangement the two have to travel. Everyone has their own opinion on what is right for them but there is little doubt, in Lainie’s case, that she considers it has been a success in raising Miro. Other interviewees such as Talon Windwalker and Alyson Long can vouch for the benefit that unschooling and world schooling has offered. A blonde woman and a child in South America sounds like a recipe for danger and many people warned Lainie before leaving that she was taking a large risk. In most cases these people were well meaning but were not speaking from personal experience. In 8 years of travel the pair have had one break in – something that may have happened just as easily in Los Angeles. Unschooling is becoming more accepted by colleges and universities and doesn’t mean children have to turn their back on higher education if they go down this path. Even ivy league schools are starting to look at unschooled enrolees who often approach their higher education with more enthusiasm and better background knowledge than their mainstream counterparts.
