Second grade teacher, Melissa Norman explores effective teaching practices, emphasizing creating an engaging and emotionally supportive classroom environment by tailoring lessons to students' unique needs and activating prior knowledge. Daily personal interactions, reflective tools, and fostering creativity to build relationships, all support student success while maintaining a flexible, student-centered approach to learning.
When students give up on assignments or get overwhelmed, it's tough to find ways to help them re-engage. So, I've invited Dr. John Spencer (https://spencereducation.com/) of The Creative Classroom podcast (https://spencereducation.com/podcast/) to help us uncover 5 brain-based ways to help kids who shut down in class. John is a former middle school teacher and current college professor on a quest to transform schools into bastions of creativity and wonder. Listen in as John and I explore how to: 1. Intentionally cultivate self-empowerment (the ability to self-regulate and self-direct.) 2. Introduce creative constraints when kids are overwhelmed. 3. Use the gradual release model to slowly acclimate students to more self-directed work. 4. Think diagnostically, looking for root causes beyond those related to behavior. 5. Call impromptu workshops when you notice a significant number of students struggling. Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here.

How do you teach students how to be creative? In this episode, you'll learn what research has to say about teaching for creativity. The surprising message is that we need to completely change the way we think about teaching and learning. We need to teach creative knowledge instead of shallow knowledge. We need to move from instructionist methods to a new pedagogy called guided improvisation. This episode is for every teacher, not just the art teachers, because in today's world, students need to be prepared to be creative in everything they do. After all, people are creative in specific subjects and disciplines and art forms. How can we change the way we teach in every subject, so that students learn the kind of knowledge that prepares them to be creative in that subject? This episode shows you how to create a Creative Classroom.

Have you ever heard or observed a student interaction and asked, "Why did you say that?" or "Why did you do that?" Then the student looks at you like you are crazy and they respond, "They are my friend." or "I was just joking." Peer interactions aren't always as positive as we would like them to be. But, what if I told you there is a strategy called "plunkin'" that could get kids celebrating each other and recognizing all the awesome that happens in your classroom. In this week's episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I share an idea that happened on a "walk and talk" that blew my mind, in a good way!

Does allowing choice in the classroom better support the differing needs of all students?

Isabel O'Hara Walsh leads writing workshops through thehttps://www.redbudwriting.org ( Redbud Writing Project). Redbud offers classes virtually and around the Triangle on topics like Writing the Novel, Experimental Fiction, and one that Isabel and I talk about, Joyful Creation – how to get your writing juices flowing when staring at that blank page. Isabel shares about their experience incorporating anti-racist practices into the workshop and feedback processes. An important resource in helping to shape this framework is the book The Anti-Racist Writer's Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom by Felicia Rose Chavez. Chavez's book challenges, in her words, “art's politics of power and privilege” and lays bare the ways that traditional – read: white-supremacist – methods of running workshops work to silence the voices of writers of color and writers with other marginalized identities. Isabel and Mara Thomas also discuss another Artist Soapbox favorite when it comes to rethinking the feedback process: Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process. Lerman's work helps tailor the feedback process to help the creator retain agency over their work and create an environment where they get the feedback they're actually looking for rather than an onslaught of unfiltered opinions. BIO: Isabel O'Hara Walsh (she/they) is a writer, teacher, and practicing witch. A graduate of the MFA program in fiction at North Carolina State University, Isabel teaches fiction writing at the Redbud Writing Project, has published short stories in Pastel Pastoral and The Metaworker, and is at work on her second novel. Through her business https://www.edgewisewitch.com/ (EdgeWise Witch), Isabel offers transformative 1-1 and group work sessions that incorporate Tarot, writing, and other ritual to clarify the right path forward for her clients.

Hello everyone! If you have been paying attention to the news surrounding education at all, then you have probably heard people debate over terms like anti-racism, whiteness, decolonization, and white supremacy. As someone who is deeply invested in being better for my students, I feel like it's my duty to understand these highly contentious debates, the terms used, and why certain parties feel the way they do. In part 2 of my discussion with Felecia Rose Chavez about the Anti-Racist Writing Workshop, we dive into her personal experiences in the writing workshop, and open up the above terms in ways I believe truly help everyone involved learn why these terms are used, and what they actually mean in the context of our work in the classroom. Felicia Rose Chavez is an award-winning educator with an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Iowa. She is author of The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom and co-editor of The BreakBeat Poets Volume 4: LatiNEXT with Willie Perdomo and Jose Olivarez. Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, she currently serves as the Creativity and Innovation Scholar-in-Residence at Colorado College. You DO NOT want to miss this one. If you missed it last week, click here. This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, Start Here, Start Now: A Guide to Antibias and Antiracist Work in Your School Community by Liz Kleinrock. Most of us want to help cultivate an antibias and antiracist classroom and school community, but we don't know how or where to start. This book helps us set ourselves up for success and prepare for the mistakes we'll make along the way. Start Here, Start Now addresses the challenges that educators committed to antibias and antiracism face every day. Liz provides concrete strategies to overcome some of the barriers that prevent us from engaging in this work and includes lessons and activities we can start using in our classrooms right away. This book will help break habits that hold us back from this work, as well as build positive, sustainable teaching for the future. Start Here, Start Now is available as a book, ebook, and audiobook.

As educators, how do we decenter our ego? How do we decenter our authority? How do we give up the practice of regurgitating information to our students, demanding of them our definition of "success," and, instead, ally and co-conspire with them? These are the essential questions that frame Episode 41: "Dear Reader: In Solidarity, Felicia," featuring Felicia Rose Chavez, who is the Creativity and Innovation Scholar-in-Residence at Colorado College. Felicia is the author of the book "The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom," which is the basis of this episode's discussion. In their chat, co-produced by the Denver area's BookBar, it becomes clear that Felicia's commitment to this work offers thought-provoking, inspiring and innovative ways to restructure what creative expression looks and feels like. She advocates for the centering of students' artistry and the decentering of traditional authority, specifically that which perpetuates white supremacist power structures, including white orientation, narrative and dominance. Throughout the episode, Felicia offers up excerpts from her book, highlighting segments with titles like "A Safe Space for Creative Concentration" and "Academic Freedom," and notes that she, too, wanted not only to write this book, but to do this important anti-racist work herself. Felicia also draws connections to her own creative work—which she admits IS her life—in which she aims to be anti-racist and support students through their own personal artistic preferences and story sharing, not only as a creative exercise but as a part of a movement toward social justice, urging students to want, need, and insist their stories are heard. What else do Courtney and Felicia discuss? You'll have to listen to find out. You won't want to miss this fascinating episode!

Today, Maria talks with Sonia Tiwari, a learning scientist and PhD candidate in Learning, Design, and Technology at Penn State University. Through her research, Sonia explores how children learn in informal environments using educational media and maker activities. She uses these insights to inform the design of creative learning environments, be it a classroom, a summer camp or a maker workshop.Trained in electronic media, design and animation, she worked as a visual, game & user experience designer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through her experience in educational games, she discovered the beauty of learning science and found her calling in early childhood education research. If you are a parent, you will learn a plethora of educational media resources to help you design the best learning activities for your children at home. If you are an industry designer, you will be inspired by Sonia’s journey that will offer you insights on how to explore and design a career path in game-based learning both in formal and informal environments. And if you are a professor in higher education, Sonia has a request and a call-to-action for you: when you are looking for a grad student, please be open-minded and welcome people with different backgrounds. This is a wonderful conversation with a visual designer and learning scientist who wants to put a smile on the face of learners by designing resources that are useful, beautiful, playful and funny!

“Books give us a window into social issues and a way for kids and adults to learn." On today's show, Anthony Manna talks with author, speaker, and publisher Janet Wong about her work and how her family and multi-cultural experiences shapes her writing. About this Podcast: This podcast platform interviews authors who openly discuss their books, writing journeys, goals, and accomplishments. It also provides practical tips and motivation for writers at all stages of their writing journey. The diverse number of guest authors will almost certainly provide an educational environment in which all authors will make discoveries about crafting particular genres. Topics discussed on the podcast cover the entire spectrum of writing, self-publishing, indie publishing, marketing, and distribution. Listeners are encouraged to review and share this podcast with other writers. HOST: For the past 50 years, Anthony Manna has taught reading, writing, literacy development, drama and language arts in schools and universities in the United States and around the world. His goal is to help kids and teens discover great books and exciting activities and games that'll get them reading, writing, and thinking. His website provides parents and educators with information and guides that support the success of their children, tweens, and, teens as readers and writers and encourage them to enjoy discovering books that will inspire them to become life-long readers. You can learn about Anthony's award-winning books such as Loukas and the Game of Chance, The Orphan: A Cinderella Story from Greece, Mr. Semolina-Semolinus: A Greek Folktale, and Greek Folktales: A Treasury of Delights by visiting his website. GUEST: Janet Wong was born in Los Angeles, CA, the daughter of a Chinese-immigrant father and a Korean-immigrant mother. She grew up in Los Angeles and in San Anselmo, 20 miles northwest of San Francisco. After graduating from UCLA, Janet attended Yale Law School and went on to practice corporate and labor law for GTE and Universal Studios Hollywood. But after a few years of not feeling satisfied with her work, she chose to write for young people instead. “I couldn't think of anything more important than working with kids.” Success as a children's author did not come easily for Janet; she received over 20 rejection letters for her early picture book manuscripts, and felt “like a failure” after a year of writing. “I almost decided to return to the law, but then I remembered what my husband had said, the night before I quit my law job: 'Why don't you write for a year — and it doesn't matter if you get published. If you love it, keep on doing it.'” Janet did love writing, and she decided to take writing classes at UCLA, where she studied with the accomplished children's poet Myra Cohn Livingston. Myra urged Janet to “read, read, read, at least a dozen books a week.” With Myra's help, Janet's first collection of poetry, Good Luck Gold, was published in 1994. Janet is the author of more than 30 books for children and teens. Her poetry collections and picture books explore a wide range of topics including human diversity in Apple Pie 4th of July, yoga positions in Twist: Yoga Poems, dreams in Night Garden, and poems about driving in Behind the Wheel. Her poems have been reprinted in many textbooks and anthologies, as well as in some more unusual venues. “Albert J. Bell” from A Suitcase of Seaweed was selected to appear on 5,000 subway and bus posters as part of the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority's “Poetry in Motion” program, and poems from Behind the Wheel have been featured on a car-talk radio show. Janet's awards include Bank Street Best Books of the Year, CBC/NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Book, Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award Honor. A Book Links Lasting Connection Book, NYPL Book for the Teenage, and Asian Pacific American Librarians' Association Award. She also received the International Reading Association's “Celebrate Literacy Award,” presented by the Foothill Reading Council for exemplary service in the promotion of literacy. Articles by and about Janet have appeared in Scholastic's Instructor magazine, Creative Classroom, Booklinks, and O magazine; Janet and her work have been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and other television programs. You can read more about Janet and her work by visiting her website.

Idea to Value - Creativity and Innovation with Nick Skillicorn
In today's episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we speak with Prof Keith Sawyer from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. See the full episode at https://wp.me/p6pllj-1r2 Prof Sawyer is an expert researcher on creativity, and we talk about what it takes for children to learn most effectively, how teachers and schools need to adapt to new ways of teaching, and how this can teach us about becoming more creative. Topics covered in this episode: 00:01:30 - The convergence of research into learning and creativity, and how the two complement each other 00:03:15 - What the research is telling us about the difference between shallow knowledge (memorising) and deeper knowledge (required for creativity) 00:05:15 - Based on his research, Creative performance is based on a balance of general creative skills, as well as domain-specific experience and knowledge on which to build 00:07:00 - The Art Bias in schools and teaching 00:10:30 - If you teach for deeper understanding of a subject, the research shows that the performance of students on shallow knowledge (facts) assessments also improves as a result 00:12:30 - Teachers should introduce some improvisation into their classrooms 00:14:00 - Group Flow: where several people can be in a flow state together.

Over the last several decades, the public's understanding of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional sequelae of the same has undergone radical transformation. There is ample evidence that supports the fact that rehabilitation is a critical part of the road to recovery and making treatment functional can be done successfully by a bridge into the community where the TBI survivor hopes to thrive.

What hazard could really be posed by daily activities like driving, biking, climbing, or walking? They don't, until they do. An awkward step, a sudden turn, an unanticipated slip or a fall can alter the direction in which one's life is going. The Brain Injury Association of America reports that at least 2.5 million people encounter a traumatic brain injury each year. For some, the recovery may be quick and simple, while for others, it may be a life that has no semblance of normalcy.Since one in every 60 people in the U.S. lives with a disability that is a result of traumatic brain injury, it is critical that we understand how to identify, diagnose, and manage them. On this episode, Dr. Julie Haabauer-Krupa from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), will discuss how traumatic brain injury impacts attention, memory, speech, communication, movement, coordination, decision making, and executive function.

By reading about such a feat of accomplishment, you can easily see the giant rift between "memory athletes" and ordinary citizens. However, memory is more of a skill than a gift which means everyone is capable of such an "athletic" feat.On this episode, our guest, a neuroscientist, author, blogger, and a frequent contributor to Psychology Today, William Klemm, Ph.D., speaks on the topic of memory, memory structure, and the relationship between memory, learning, and Executive Function.About Professor W.R. KlemmDr. W. R. (Bill) Klemm is a Professor of Neuroscience at Texas A&M University who has studied basic and applied research on learning and memory and has published 20 books, many of them for lay audiences.

Sutter Keely is a smart, goofy, sensitive, troubled, unserious, and lost teenager who doesn't have the best Executive Function skills. Sutter is the main character in the movie ‘The Spectacular Now' whose life choices are not that off the mark for a teenager but do certainly stand out from his sweet, focused, ambitious, and future-centered ex-girlfriend or the studious, hard-working, curious, engaged, and caring new girlfriend. This movie beautifully captures the angst of a young man who hasn't yet discovered the purpose of learning, the value of good habits, nor has he tamed the wild emotions such as anger, loneliness, and sadness that rule his decision making. But all in all, this movie helps us understand how to look for the composite portrait of a young life trying to make it. The movie invites us to become gardeners as we think of the grand beauty and power that lays dormant within a bud that blossoms into a spectacular flower.On this episode, my guest MaryAnn Brittingham, the author of Respectful Discipline, Motivating the Unmotivated, Dealing with Difficult Parents and the co-author of Transformative Teaching: Changing Today's Classrooms Culturally, Academically and Emotionally will discuss how to be the gardeners.About MaryAnn BrittinghamMaryAnn Brittingham MS, has a Master's Degree in Family Counseling and a Bachelor's Degree with a dual certification in both Special and General Education.

A child opens a fun little children's book and comes across two words ‘trogglehumper' and ‘frothbuggling'. He's immediately drawn in. You can hear him wonder, “what's that?” What a way to capture a kid's interest and tickle their imagination! Celebrated children's author, Roald Dahl, had knack of doing that. He once said, “If you want to remember what it's like to live in a child's world, you've got to get down on your hands and knees and live like that for a week.” Roald Dahl recognized that inspired kids take their curiosity into every corner of their learning world.It's great to want inspired and motivated kids in the classroom but what if that's not the case? Is it the educator's responsibility to motivate students? What role do the teachers play in engaging the children?

A recent headline read, “Demonic child on flight” that described a passenger who filmed his horrific experience while traveling with a screaming 3-year-old on a long flight from Germany to the USA. The video stirred up a Facebook controversy where many empathized with the mother while the rest blamed her for failing to control the child. Misbehavior implies the intention to misbehave. Dealing with a screaming 3-year-old on an 8-hour international flight or handling a student with challenging behaviors is a daunting task. While most would be tempted to punish the child or write off unsettled students, an adult with a positive and supporting approach can steer them onto the path for success.Children's experiences of challenges and failures in regulating themselves is inevitable but their ill-fitted behaviors are less likely to induce empathy. In their book, Children: The Challenge, Rudolf Dreikurs and Vicki Soltz poignantly say, “A Misbehaving child is a discouraged child”, inviting us to let go of the conventional wisdom. On this episode, Dr. Nancy Rappaport returns to discuss a framework to help implement successful behavioral plans to help redirect anxious, oppositional, or withdrawn children so that educators can re-imagine the possibilities for their struggling students. About Nancy Rappaport, MDDr. Rappaport received the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry's Sidney Berman Award for the School-Based Study and Treatment of Learning Disorders and Mental Illness in 2012. She also received Cambridge Health Alliance's Art of Healing Award in 2013 – an award given to one who “transcends boundaries, joyfully embraces humanity, and profoundly inspires the healing of body and spirit.” Rappaport is the author of the memoir In Her Wake: A Child Psychiatrist Explores the Mystery of Her Mother's Suicide (Basic Books, September 2009), winner of the Boston Authors Club's 2010 Julia Ward Howe Prize. In a starred review, Publisher's Weekly called the book “Fearless … a stunning narrative of perspective, profound sadness and unrelenting hope.” She is also the author of The Behavior Code: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Teaching the Most Challenging Students (Harvard Education Press, April 2012), written with behavioral analyst Jessica Minahan.Websitewww.nancyrappaport.comBooksThe Behavior Code : A practical guide to understanding the most challenging students In Her Wake: A Child Psychiatrist Explores the Mystery of Her Mother's SuicideSupport the show (https://mailchi.mp/7c848462e96f/full-prefrontal-sign-up)

Recently, during a baptism ceremony, an 89-year old French priest lost his cool and slapped a 2-year old toddler in the face, who wouldn't stop crying. The whole incident was caught on camera and went viral as one can imagine. The priest later said. “It was something between a caress and a little slap. I was trying to calm him down, I didn't really know what to do.” Somewhere, the switch in the priest's brain flipped where he felt compelled to react with anger towards a baby, which he certainly knew was wrong. Nothing about this story feels good but it poignantly illustrates the challenge in gifting children with nurturing care as they struggle with their own emotions.What's most evident in a person is their behavior and not their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or even their true potential. Teaching children whose behaviors do not exude eagerness, commitment, or love for learning can be problematic for teachers and students alike. On this episode, the associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and celebrated co-author of the book, the Behavior Code, Dr. Nancy Rappaport will discuss the challenge that, if not careful, by zooming in too much on their behaviors we could potentially sideline the child's struggle and get distracted by the challenge they pose.About Nancy Rappaport, MDDr. Rappaport received the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry's Sidney Berman Award for the School-Based Study and Treatment of Learning Disorders and Mental Illness in 2012.

For a west Philadelphia high school dropout, Troy Carter has had an incredibly impressive career where as a talent scout, manager, and producer he has launched artists like Lady Gaga to fame. However, his creative entrepreneurship transcended industry silos as he has become first of his kind to be an angel investor in more that 100 Silicon Valley startups including Spotify. But as a child, Troy was so tiny that he would always be in the front and center in all school pictures while class giants would tower over him in the back. While kids were busy teasing him for his small stature, Troy's 5th grade teacher Ms. Moore always addressed him as “big guy” making him feel like he was 6'5”. When asked about the confidence he brings to the boardroom as he sits among market-savvy and highly educated folks with mile-long credentials, Carter fondly gives all the credit his favorite teacher who made him feel not only that he belonged, but that he was special.On this episode, Dr. Kathy Perez, a Professor Emerita at Saint Mary's College of California, returns to talk about what it means to invest in every child and what the key ingredient is to empowering children to be their best.

Each day, more than 7 million children in the United States are left to their own devices for at least some period of time after the school day ends. And research shows that children who are deprived of a supervised environment by a supportive adult are likely to develop a gamut of academic and behavioral problems. Sometimes the only nurturing adult in a child's life is a teacher who encourages them to take academic and social initiatives, crafts opportunities for inner growth, and bonds emotionally to provide the loving care needed for the development of the whole child. The most engaged learners demonstrate secure interpersonal relationships, sound social awareness, and strong self-regulation. Similarly, the most engaged teachers have strong executive function and they use them to till the classroom soil. On this episode, Dr. Kathy Perez, a Professor Emerita at Saint Mary's College of California, will discuss importance of the social-emotional learning (SEL) in everyday curriculum and the secret to fostering deeper learner engagement.
