The future of education will not be in a classroom, or certainly nothing that resembles today's idea of a classroom. I am going to make the case for gardens (somewhat as metaphor, but mostly real gardens) as (in part) as our future classrooms.

Sherweb has launched a white-label self-service portal aimed at empowering managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients by streamlining operational tasks. This innovative platform enables clients to manage their technology licenses, subscriptions, and payments independently, reducing the need for service providers to handle routine inquiries. According to Rick Stern, Senior Director of Platform at Sherweb, this autonomy not only expedites the resolution of simple requests but also allows MSPs to concentrate on strategic initiatives. The portal features automated invoicing, curated service catalogs, and integrated chat support, and is already in use by over 450 MSPs following a successful pilot program.The podcast also discusses the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) pricing models, with companies like Globant and Salesforce adopting usage-based approaches. Globant has introduced subscription-based AI pods that allow clients to access AI-powered services through a token-based system, moving away from traditional effort-based billing. Salesforce is experimenting with flexible pricing structures, including conversation and action-based models, to better align with the value delivered by AI services. These shifts indicate a critical inflection point in how AI services are monetized, emphasizing the need for IT service providers to rethink their offerings in light of usage-based economics.Concerns regarding the unauthorized use of generative AI tools in organizations are highlighted by a report from Compromise, which reveals that nearly 80% of IT leaders have observed negative consequences from such practices. The survey indicates significant worries about privacy and security, with many IT leaders planning to adopt data management platforms and AI monitoring tools to oversee generative AI usage. Additionally, advancements in AI are showcased through a Stanford professor's AI fund manager that outperformed human stock pickers, while a study reveals limitations in AI's ability to make clinical diagnoses from radiological scans.The podcast concludes with a discussion on the role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), which is facing an identity crisis due to its increasing complexity and the misalignment of its responsibilities. Experts suggest reevaluating the CISO role to better address modern cybersecurity threats. The episode also touches on the implications of generative AI in education, highlighting concerns about its impact on critical thinking and learning processes. Overall, the podcast emphasizes the need for IT service providers to navigate the evolving landscape of AI and cybersecurity with a focus on governance, accountability, and sustainable practices. Four things to know today 00:00 Sherweb's White-Labeled Portal Signals MSP Shift Toward Scalable, Client-Centric Service Models03:31 AI Forces Billing Revolution: Globant and Salesforce Redefine How Tech Services Are Priced06:49 From Shadow AI to Specialized Tools: Why Governance, Not Hype, Defines AI's Next Phase12:46 From CISOs to Classrooms to Code: Why AI Forces a Strategic Rethink Across the Enterprise This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

We're re-releasing this episode because the questions it raises are more relevant than ever. In 2025, as technology transforms how students learn and entire industries evolve, the role of educators is shifting rapidly. Classrooms are becoming more digital, expectations more complex, and the pressure to keep students engaged—and prepared for the future—has never been greater. Yet, many teachers are stepping away. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly half of public education employees who leave the field aren't retiring or laid off. They're choosing to resign. Amid ongoing challenges like burnout, staffing shortages, and shifting school environments, educators are asking: How do we keep going—and keep growing? That's why we're revisiting this conversation with 2023 National Teacher of the Year Rebecka Peterson. A math teacher from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rebecka speaks with warmth, clarity, and an unshakable belief in the power of human connection. Her story is a reminder that joy, purpose, and sustainability in teaching are still possible—even in a time of change. Why this encore? Because Rebecka's reflections on resilience, creativity, and care offer both inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone invested in the future of education   Episode Highlights + Timestamps: 00:00 — Why great teachers leave (and why it matters) 01:30 — Rebecka's immigrant journey & early love for teaching 06:00 — "I'm not a math person" and the cultural damage of that phrase 09:00 — How Rebecka builds trust: "Kids spell love T-I-M-E" 12:00 — The math teacher shortage: only 25 graduates in her entire state 15:00 — The "One Good Thing" blog that saved her teaching career 19:00 — From burnout to National Teacher of the Year 24:00 — What every teacher (and school leader) should be asking 28:00 — Advice to teachers on the brink of burnout 31:00 — The power of reflection, systems, and 1% growth Meet Rebecka Peterson: Rebecka is a high school math teacher at Union High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the 2023 National Teacher of the Year. She uses storytelling and connection to bring math to life and help every student feel seen.

This episode considers how teaching staff can effectively support autistic students in the classroom and across the mainstream secondary school. Our expert panel offers a range of practical insights and advice to help teachers and support staff, including teaching tips and pastoral care. We begin our discussion by busting some of the common misconceptions and myths about autism and autistic students before dissecting what makes for an autism-friendly school and classroom environment and strong inclusive practice. We discuss what schools can do to support and foster friendships and social connections for our autistic students – and how can staff build strong relationships with these young people? We touch upon Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) but also why we cannot rely on the paperwork and must engage with the young person if we are to meet their needs – taking a strength-based approach. How can teachers adapt their lessons to include their autistic students without overwhelming them – and what part does technology (including AI) play in making learning accessible for young people? We also ask what needs to change in the school environment to support proper inclusion autistic young people – including asking each of our experts for the one big change they would make in schools… Finally, we discuss the common teaching methods that make things harder for autistic students. How can teachers combine routine with the flexibility that these students need.

Kelly dives into geopolitical and economic pressures shaping our future, from energy markets to semiconductors, and explores how LGPs (legal government policies) impact health crises like addiction and the fight against global narcotics cartels. With insights on Russia, China, and a shifting Middle East, Kelly links today's challenges with America's upcoming 250th birthday in 2026, echoing Marilyn Monroe: "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." This is a conversation about readiness—for our schools, economy, and global role in the next American chapter.

From rogue AI behaviors to Google Gemini's web-building skills, this week's 10 Minute Teacher Podcast is your fast, fun roundup of the most classroom-worthy education and technology news!

In this powerful episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, host Beth Vaucher sits down with two leading voices in trauma-informed and restorative education, Marg Thorsborne and Joe Brummer, for a deeply transformative conversation on rethinking student behavior, discipline, and classroom culture. Marg, a global pioneer in restorative practices, and Joe, a trauma survivor turned international peacebuilder, bring decades of lived experience and professional wisdom to the table. Together, they co-authored Becoming a Trauma-Informed Restorative Educator, a vital guide for educators ready to move beyond punitive systems and foster true healing and connection in schools.This episode explores the critical differences between behaviorism and trauma-informed approaches, debunking the myth that all behavior is a choice. Joe explains how trauma shapes students' nervous systems, causing many to enter classrooms in survival mode rather than learning mode. Marg highlights the importance of adult self-regulation, reminding us that students need at least one regulated brain in the room — and that starts with the educator.The discussion also dives into the invisible signs of trauma and the necessity of cultivating empathy through self-awareness. Educators are encouraged to start their journey by working on their own wellness, nervous system regulation, and childhood conditioning, especially as many default to the discipline patterns they experienced as children.Listeners will learn why restorative practices aren't a “soft” alternative but a structured, empathetic approach to accountability and healing. They'll also hear the heartbreaking but eye-opening story of how misread facial expressions can trigger violence in culturally diverse classrooms — and how trauma-informed strategies could prevent such outcomes.Whether you're teaching newcomers from war-torn countries or students experiencing daily chaos at home, this episode offers grounded, research-backed strategies to help every educator foster a safe, inclusive, and emotionally available learning environment. With actionable advice and heartfelt insight, this episode is a must-listen for teachers, administrators, and school counselors.

Mike Hixenbaugh first knew things had changed when someone on a four-wheeler started ripping up his lawn after his wife placed a Black Lives Matter sign outside their home on the suburban outskirts of Houston.Hixenbaugh is an award-winning investigative reporter for NBC News. He's covered wrongdoing within the child welfare system, safety lapses inside hospitals, and deadly failures in the US Navy. But when his front yard was torn apart in the summer of 2020 in the wake of the George Floyd protests, he saw a story about race and politics collide at his own front door. So like any investigative journalist, he started investigating, and his reporting about the growing divides in his neighborhood soon led him to the public schools.As more than a dozen states sue the Trump administration over its policies aimed at ending public schools' diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, More To The Story host Al Letson talks with Hixenbaugh about how America's public schools have become “a microcosm” for the country's political and cultural fights—“a way of zooming in deep into one community to try to tell the story of America.”Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Nikki Frick | Interim executive producers: Brett Myers and Taki Telonidis | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: The Culture War Goes to College (Reveal)Read: At the Heritage Foundation, the Anti-DEI Crusade Is Part of a Bigger War (Mother Jones)Read: They Came for the Schools: One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms, by Mike HixenbaughNote: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.Listen: Southlake/Grapevine podcasts (NBC News) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram @revealnews Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
