Education News Headline RoundupSupreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has leveled criticism at the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision just days after the 70th anniversary of the ruling. In his concurring opinion on a decision allowing South Carolina to keep using a congressional map that critics say discriminated against Black voters, Thomas this month argued that the Brown decision took a "boundless view of equitable remedies" and involved "extravagant uses of judicial power" to end racial segregation in schools.The Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) announced its closure, attributing the decision partly to financial difficulties exacerbated by ongoing issues with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) system. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Education has pledged a comprehensive review of its financial aid office and the FAFSA process in response to widespread problems impacting students and institutions nationwide.A follow-up to a headline we first shared in February of this year: Harvard University's “Institutional Voice” working group has concluded its work and recommended that Harvard leaders not “issue official statements about public matters that do not directly affect the university's core function.”Taking Chances, Making Mistakes, & Getting MessyThis week, 16:1 explores the origins of “The Magic School Bus,” the beloved children's television series designed to engage young learners with scientific topics and other curious learning adventures. The franchise, which started as a children's book series written by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen in 1986, emerged from Scholastic Co.'s vision of blending science with fiction. The franchise sold 93 million book copies worldwide, captivating young minds and paving the way for its evolution into a popular TV show.From 1994 to 1997, "The Magic School Bus" brought science to life on PBS, with Ms. Frizzle, voiced by Lily Tomlin, leading her fourth-grade class on magical field trips. Each adventure, from exploring the solar system to journeying inside the human body, made complex scientific concepts accessible and fun for young learners. Today, the series continues to inspire through its presence on Netflix and has recently gotten a reboot, "The Magic School Bus Rides Again."We discuss the show's pedagogical approach, its effective use of repetition to reinforce concepts, and its clever handling of creative liberties with science. We also share behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the animation and voice acting process, revealing the dedication to making the show both scientifically accurate and entertaining. Tune in to hear our personal reflections on favorite episodes and how "The Magic School Bus" has shaped our understanding of science.Sources & Resources:Clarence Thomas attacks Brown v.

Episode 8 John Edward Roach In 1958, a brutal murder took place on the campus of Delaware College (which is now called the University of Delaware). But this was not a furtive slaying in a dorm room, or a student love triangle gone wrong. This murder took place in the middle of the day, in the middle of a public school building, in the middle of a brawl. Student John Edward Roach was stabbed in the throat in a room full of brawling young men – yet no one saw his murderer strike. His last whispered words were heard by many – but his murderer went free. Roach's unsolved homicide has left the Delaware institution with a legacy of ghost stories and tales of hauntings that continue to this day. This is the story of John Edward Roach.

A two-year health crisis (which entailed cancer, life-challenging staff infections, and double hip replacements) convinced him to focus his energies on creativity and how organizations and individuals can tap into the full creative capacity of everyone. Bruce also shared that it was during this season of health challenges that he was also mourning the loss of his mother and the end of his marriage.Bruce needed to connect with his creativity. Now he enjoys robust health while singing, dancing, writing, teaching, mentoring, and doing nature photography. He recently released Renaissance Human, an album of original songs co-created with the Brothers Koren.

Inspiring quotes from Bruce Cryer from this episode:ON HIS TRANSITIONS/TRANSFORMATIONS:(Upon leaving HeartMath as CEO)~"This is not about escaping something. This is about the next phase of your life which is not clear yet, but you're an adventurer so you will find it."~"You do this. You make big changes when your soul is directing it."~"To continue to ask the heart for guidance. You can sense you're on the right track, but all the details won't necessarily lead you out, but you got to stay with it. Stay trusting that you have a heart that is intelligent, that is part of your soul, and there is a guidance that is happening, but you got to surrender sometimes to the expectation of what it needs to look like."ON WORTHINESS and CREATIVITY:~"Be worthy to yourself...Each have the ability to tune in deeply enough to our intuition/our heart intelligence to find the flow as where we're supposed to go as the next phase of growth and enfoldment, and it often does not come through structure."~"I believe being human means we innately, every single person, has massive amounts of creative energy. We are made to be creative. If I'm not honoring that I'm a creative being, then how worthy am I going to feel?"Bruce shares about what "stuck" energy is and how it can be changed into creative energy. FIVE COMPONENTS TO ALIGNING WITH OUR INNATE CREATIVITY:MindfulnessMovementNatureArtistic ExpressionPlayfulnessBruce shares about his new role as President of The Graduate Institute and the creative outlets his role is providing to him.

On this episode, Michael Kalmbach shares his story of overcoming addiction, navigating his own art career and using parts of his story and life experiences to serve the community. Michael is a contemporary artist and the director of The Creative Vision Factory.

Shortly after graduation he accepted a position at the Delaware College of Art & Design, and founded the New Wilmington Art Association, an organization that organized exhibitions of contemporary art in Wilmington’s vacant retail spaces from August 2008 to April 2013. This work led to Michael’s involvement with the Chris White Community Development Corporation, which developed the 23-unit artist live/work space, Shipley Lofts.

In June 2011 he accepted a contract with the State’s Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health to develop and direct an art program in downtown Wilmington.

The Creative Vision Factory is on a path to 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. As a peer-run nonprofit agency, the Factory will be uniquely situated to serve the community, in the heart of an arts and cultural district, that sees the behavioral health population as a genuine partner in the development of a more creative and just City of Wilmington.
