Сегодня у нас в гостях Екатерина Бурвикова, старший преподаватель Нью-Гемпширского университета, специалист по преподаванию русского языка как иностранного как в языковой среде, так и вне языковой среды. В 2023 году Екатерина получила престижную награду от Американского совета преподавателей русского языка и литературы (АСПРЯЛ) как лучший преподаватель университета. Сегодня мы поговорим о том, как преподаватель может реагировать на запросы студентов, о создании контентных курсов, отвечающих духу времени и интересам студентов, но большую часть сегодняшнего выпуска мы посвятим обсуждению примеров эффективного взаимодействия университета, студентов иностранного языка с местным и глобальным сообществом. Мы обсудили множество вопросов: Как найти русскоговорящих собеседников для наших студентов? Что такое обучение через служение или помощь обществу? Что наши студенты могут дать взамен местному сообществу за его помощь с языком?  Podcast host Izolda (Iza) Savenkova (University of Maryland) Podcast is created by Evgeny Dengub (University of Southern California) for www.TeachRussian.org

Tune in to hear the concluding part of our conversation with Gina Woodall, yet another insightful episode!

In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the world of community-based learning with our guest Gina Woodall!

Adam Robb was raised on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Chonnonton Nations on fertile farming lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. After one year of university, it became clear that the learning he needed in life would be found with mountains, lakes, gardens, community centres and around campfires and not as much inside classrooms as he had once thought. He kept that realization in mind as he became a teacher himself. For the past 15 years as a high school teacher, Adam has since helped to create unique experiential education programs allowing for self-discovery for youth on Treaty 6, 7, 8 territories as well as the traditional lands of the Beaver, Cree, Ojibway, Secwépemc, Stoney, and Métis. The focus of these programs has always been about connecting youth to the land as a way of learning self-resiliency, problem-solving, risk-taking, relationship-building, history, technology, politics, science, economics and protocols from Traditional Keepers of knowledge. Adam has teamed up with other amazing educators to create learning programs that were recognized provincially (AB Education), nationally (EECOM, KF & CAGBC) and internationally (OECD & ILFI). The Howl Experience is the manifestation of all Adam's beliefs about learning; it has to be experiential, community-based and focused on solving real problems and achieving real results. He is proud to be working alongside several past students on this project and of the many incredible past students out there making a real difference. Adam is most proud that he is able to do this work alongside his own amazingly insightful children and his inspiring partner. Shawna Peddle is a partnership broker, collaborator, and convenor of like minds to address complex social issues. She has expertise in program design and implementation related to community resiliency, risk communication, environmental risk assessment, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction. In her current role, Shawna oversees community investment programs and partnerships at Co-operators, a financial services co-operative, including corporate giving and volunteerism, the Co-operative Development Program, the Advisor Community Fund, and the Co-operators Community Funds. Shawna holds a Master of Forestry from the University of Toronto, and a Graduate Diploma in Social Responsibility and Sustainability from St. Michael's College, University of Toronto.

When our imaginations speculate about the afterlife that most of us believe in, they are probably less effective (as Sir Thomas Browne pointed out) than two infants still in the womb trying to describe our far more mundane adult human reality. But as Catherine Wolff demonstrates in Beyond, that does not stop us from trying. Over and over again. Autobiographical storytelling is a similar act of our imaginations' desire to understand reality by editing it vigorously. Join us to discuss how we think about the beyond with Catherine Wolff, and with her husband Tobias Wolff, a master of that autobiographical art. We will delve into the overlapping boundaries of our imaginations, our creativity, our dreams, and what comes next. If anything.

What happens after we die?Heaven? Hell? Something else?That's what we're talking about on today's episode of Chats with GiGi. Today's guest is Catherine Wolff, author of the book BEYOND: How humankind thinks about heaven. Catherine went deep into how many different religions and cultures approach the concept of heaven and what she discovered is fascinating. She shares it in her book and in this episode. Catherine Wolff has been a teacher, social worker, therapist, chaplain, and the Director of the Arrupe Center for Community Based Learning at Santa Clara University. She edited Not Less Than Everything: Catholic Writers on Heroes of Conscience from Joan of Arc to Oscar Romero (HarperCollins, 2013,) and has recently published Beyond: How Humankind Thinks About Heaven (Riverhead Books/Penguin Random House, 2021).

This episode speaks to community-based learning, what is it in theory and how effective the implementation can be in a school setting.

For more than ten years now the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures has partnered with the Center for Social Concerns to develop one of the most robust community-based learning (CBL) programs in language in the country. Today we're joined by Elena Mangione-Lora, teaching professor in Spanish, and Clare Roach, immersion coordinator at Holy Cross School. Together they created a translation class at Holy Cross in South Bend that brought Notre Dame and Holy Cross students together around numerous translation projects that are now being picked up by dual language schools in Chicago and Los Angeles. Community-based learning has a way of developing expansive educational networks, and Elena describes how her CBL work led her to work with a school for men with special needs in Chile recently.

Read the complete transcription on the Sales Game Changers Podcast website. ALEXINE'S TIP FOR EMERGING SALES LEADERS: "Get really involved in some of these community-based learning efforts. Clubhouse is a really cool channel for you to be able to learn not just about sales process, there's so many different groups and communities. There's Clubhouse, there's Thursday Night Sales, there's all of these Slack communities, Revenue Collective, all of them. You can connect with so many different salespeople, sales leaders and talk about some of these topics together. My recommendation would be go outside of your company. I think it's really important to have these conversations internally, but more so, what are other companies doing? Always having an ear to the ground of what's going on with other organizations and with other salespeople. I think that is the way forward and I'm a huge proponent of that."

The conventional life in the United States: go to school, graduate, apply for jobs, work a 9-5, get married, buy a house, have kids, and spend the rest of your life raising them. There's nothing wrong with living the conventional life but there is something wrong with forcing everyone to live that way. In this episode, I talk with Salina, author of Thoughts to the Universe and designer, about rejecting the conventional life and redefining what living a self-fulfilled life looks like to them. Salina talks us through their journey of living an unconventional life from majoring in fashion design at UW - Madison, to publishing a poetry book at a young age, and to not wanting to conform to a 9-5 after college. Salina and I hold space for young 20 year olds to really challenge the conventional norms that are continuously pushed on to us. Join Salina and I, as they reject the conventional life and really redefine what it can look and feel like.

My guests today are Allan Shaw, Principal and CEO of The Knox School in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, and Ben Righetti, The Knox School’s Character and Leadership Programs: Lead Consultant and WELS Founder and Director. They join us today to discuss the Character and Leadership Model implemented at The Knox School between 2017 and 2020. It represents the most significant change in how the school develops student character and leadership capabilities in the history of the school. One of the key aims of the project is to foster the development of young people of character who will be ethical citizens and community leaders. It also involved a major redesign of camps, excursions, outdoor education and community-based learning at each year level, from Year 6 to Year 11. The school has documented its journey, what they learned and the implications of their findings in a report titled 'Character and Leadership Model: Student Character and Leadership Development through Purpose-Designed, Experiential, Community-Based Learning and Projects'. In this episode we discuss the what motivated them to initiate the project, some of its features, and how they’ve had to adapt it this year in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdowns, when all camps, excursions and community activities have been either cancelled or postponed. Host: Rebecca Vukovic Guests: Allan Shaw and Ben Righetti

What would it look like for colleges and universities to invest in and begin creating community-based learning opportunities? Academics isolated in their “ivory tower” may be a stereotype, but, a lack of connection to communities outside of academia is a real dynamic that exists. Here to provide insight and expertise into the high-quality work of community-based learning is Johns Hopkins’ Gia Grier McGinnis. Gia has over fifteen years of broad-ranging experience in program management and community outreach. Her academic and professional careers have developed her research and communication skills to a very high level – she can connect and collaborate with pretty much anyone, across areas and functions, to mobilize them toward a common goal. Gia’s skill set applies to a wide variety of functions, but her interest is focused on civic engagement and public outreach. Gia’s specialty is building and supporting programs and initiatives and then expanding them for sustainability. She also excels at translating complex information into communication tools that are easy to use by the public. Gia is the Associate Director for the Johns Hopkins Center for Social Concern. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies at Washington College, her Master's degree in Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan, and she is currently a PhD candidate at Morgan State University. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [1:12] Mark introduces his guest, Gia Greer McGinnis. [3:30] Why you need to understand your audience.

If you are unfamiliar with the term, community-based learning is a teaching strategy that bridges academic theory and real-world practice. The strategy promotes students’ academic learning and civic development while simultaneously addressing real-world problems, community needs, and interests. It is characterized by its emphasis on reciprocity and collaboration with community stakeholders. Gia Grier McGinnis and her team at Johns Hopkins University have been engaged for several years with a program that focuses on community engagement and community partnerships. The Engaged Scholar Faculty and Community Fellows Program pairs faculty members and community partners to co-design and co-teach a community-based learning course for one semester. They also partner with a local Baltimore non-profit called Writers In Baltimore Schools (WBS). WBS’s mission is to empower the voices of Baltimore City students through in-school, after-school, and summer programming that builds skills in literacy and communication while creating a community of support for young writers. Communicating risk to the public If you had to communicate risk to the public, what would be your approach? How do you take a complex problem that might require a multi-faceted solution and convey that broadly to the public? One of the most important factors in communicating risk to the public is to do so without causing alarm, which sounds like it is easier said than done. In her work on this subject, Gia Grier McGinnis had her students study the government’s response to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan as a case study in what not to do. Any way you look at it, communicating risk to the public is not an easy task. Officials really have to walk the tightrope of expressing the right amount of risk without alarming the public, but they do need to convey the level of danger accurately.
