Show Notes: Lindsay Sturman, an English major from the Harvard and Radcliffe class of 1992, discusses her advocacy work in Los Angeles. She moved to Los Angeles after college and returned to New York for film school at Columbia and became a TV writer and has been doing that for around 20 years. She has always been interested in public policy, and she became involved with the Ed Reform movement to improve public schools. Lindsay and a group of 3000 people fought the election for the Democrats. After the 2020 election, she became aware of the housing crisis in Los Angeles. The problem was that the city stopped building housing in the 1990s. The city's downtown was built in 1987, but it took decades to catch up, making it difficult and expensive to build. People drove further and further out, leading to a massive increase in rents. Rents are now twice as high as the rest of the country's comparable cities. Lindsay and the group have been working to unpack the issues and find solutions. She talks about what they found in terms of a wide range of issues leading to the housing crisis and best possible solutions to the problems which the group are bringing to city council. Barriers to Building Houses  Lindsay talks about over regulations and the barriers to building housing. They unpacked the causes of the high cost of construction, which surprisingly leads back to parking. One of the solutions is to allow companies and people to build without parking, which could lead to the construction of three to five-story buildings in under a year or eight months, but this can only be achieved with citizen buy-in, which can be achieved through deep canvassing, where people are trained to listen to NIMBYs and their reasons for building without parking. Other barriers to building include reduction of single family house value, privacy, noise, and visual appeal.  The 15-Minute City Solution Lindsay explains the 15-Minute City concept, developed by Carlos Moreno, a French Colombian scientist who created the idea that everything people need can be reached in 15 minutes. She refers to lower Manhattan, where 80% of people don't own a car. The idea is that housing doesn't need parking, and people can walk or bike to everything they need in 15 minutes. However, there are several hurdles to implementing this solution. One of the main challenges to the adoption of this concept. Lindsay identifies the list of changes that need to be made to green light this movement, including politicians' control. The idea is to take the power away from politicians and set up a system where city streets are allowed to build according to standard plans. Building Reforms in L.A. Lindsay explains how the organization is taking practical tactical steps to get reforms passed in LA. They are meeting with city council people one-on-one and attending 99 neighborhood councils. They are networking and telling the story, focusing on pain points. They are also addressing the misinformation that housing can only be built if it is 100% affordable, that developers are evil and greedy, or that there is no housing crisis.  The Livable Communities Initiative The organization advocates for a few streets in the city to become low-car, bikeable streets with low traffic. They are advocating for a network of these 15-minute communities, which are being implemented all over the world. They are convincing people to use their ideas hand-to-hand, convincing neighbors, skeptics, electeds, and bureaucrats. They are also working with planners to show them the problems in the building codes and make them frictionless. The organization is praying for electeds to join the parade and lead the way in addressing the housing crisis. The Climate Crisis and Transport Solutions Lindsay shares what drives her commitment. She talks about people who work with the homeless and how they call them their unhoused neighbors, and it's heartbreaking to see. She explains that housing and transportation are interconnected, and that often 50% of the area of a city is ripped down for surface parking lots. She also highlights the importance of rethinking the inner core of cities. Her passion for this work stems from understanding the tensions in cities and the impact of transportation on climate emissions. She further explains that 20% of the city's climate emissions are from transportation, with cars being the primary source of emissions. She cites the debate over bike lanes and the supply chain issues surrounding electric vehicles (EVs).  During COVID, she became interested in bikes and was interviewed about her tweets on a podcast called Bike Talk. She interviewed a climate scientist who found that EVs cannot scale in time to reach Paris climate goals, which are modest. She believes that climate is far more alarming than the average person. She believes that we need to address the crisis in 15-minute cities and understand how mobility systems work. She believes that we need to advocate for more forceful and existential solutions to address the crisis. She believes that climate is the top priority and that addressing it with 15-minute cities is a crucial step towards climate crises. Lindsay discusses her conversations with politicians, city officials, planners and developers and the difficulties they encounter in the process of getting building approval. She talks about the solutions for the transit system, mobility, and the importance of building affordable housing units for the homeless.   Addressing Issues to Affordable Housing She also discusses the need for low and moderate income affordable housing as opposed to building luxury housing and hoping the occupancy will trickle down. She suggests that there are three main issues to address: building the deficit, building affordable housing, and inverting the current model. She believes that building affordable housing should be small and affordable. Lindsay also emphasizes the importance of equity in building housing. She believes that a ton of vacancies at all price points is crucial to prevent 70% of unhoused neighbors from falling into homelessness. She also suggests working with nonprofits to build housing, which can be done through church land donations and construction loans.   Influential Harvard Classes and Professors Lindsay mentions a class called Rock for Jockeys, ​​changing the surface of the earth, and Rob Moss, a professor of VES 10, and the resources available at Harvard.  Timestamps: 02:45 How the problem of parking became visible 09:06 The issue of NIMBYs 11:46 The 15-minute city concept 17:24 The problem of windshield blindness and car blindness 22:24 The livable communities initiative 25:20 How housing and transportation are interconnected 31:17 Working with city administrators and bureaucrats 37:22 Luxury housing and the missing middle 42:12 How do you build housing that doesn't push longtime residents out?

The conversation touches on educational inequities and how a child's zip code is tied to their quality of education.Host Shayna Terrell of the Center for Black Educator Development and Dr. Todd-Breland discuss the role of Black leadership in education reform and whether Black liberation can be a priority in a reform movement. Finally, the discussion focuses on Women's History Month and the role of higher ed in developing K-12 schools. 

Across the nation, states are stepping up to reform higher education—in effect performing their intended role as laboratories of federalism and democratic governance. ACTA is seeing good progress on this front in North Carolina. While no state has achieved perfect academic accountability, academic freedom, or academic excellence in higher ed, recent developments in the UNC system in particular demonstrate crucial steps taken in the right direction.  ACTA's Emily Koons Jae and Bryan Paul recently sat down with Jenna Robinson, president of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, a nonprofit institute dedicated to improving higher education in North Carolina and the nation, to discuss the successes and shortcomings of higher ed reform in North Carolina. At the time of this conversation, the UNC Board of Governors had scheduled a vote for February 23 on a resolution to ban compelled speech in admission, hiring, promotion and tenure decisions. That vote has since taken place, with the resolution passing.

Social Impact Podcast host and education activist Lynn Davenport joins Euan Blackman to discuss education reform and all that term means across the spectrum.What IS ed reform? Generally:Accountability -testingChange the standardsMerit pay, or pay for performanceListen in to learn what this movement entails. Teachers work with the students they are given, and they don't all come in to the classrooms with the same acumen or previous educational experience. Throughout the semester or year they also learn and grow at different rates and respond differently. We all want our kids prepared for the real world, but today, it looks like the current reform needs reform!It's possible that we've become data-wise and student-foolish.

Mary Lowe is the cofounder of Families Engaged. Mary and I attended an event in September hosted by the Women of St. Michael called “BRIDGING THE DIVIDE: A 5-part lecture series addressing structural divides in America.”She and I gave a play-by-play of the details of the event. The live recording is on Facebook. Learn about the nuances of failed reforms championed by former US Education Secretary Margaret Spellings and her interview with Commit founder Todd Williams. Spellings was appointed by George W. Bush. Williams was chosen to be the education advisor of former Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings and was appointed to four boards and commissions under Governor Greg Abbott. These two controversial education reformers have had enormous influence on public education policy over the last decade. How's it working for us? Todd Williams said, “Data gives a voice to a child.” Mary and I believe parents and teachers give a voice to a child.Spellings is on the board of Amplify Education where they were awarded a $50 million contract with the Texas Education Agency. Outcomes-based education is not the answer to public education. The best solution is to return to time-tested reading strategies and a classical education rooted in academic knowledge. Data-driven reforms reduce students and teachers to datapoints while edtech vendors and venture capitalists get rich.  Social Impact Podcast is brought to you by:OBBM Network BrandsJunkluggers of Irving, Denton, and Grapevine, 630-470-8307Move Freely America1st Safety Training, 214-808-9757Social Impact Podcast is on Spotify and more!

Reforming Ed Reform Panel | Steve Hargadon | Aug 8 2012 by Steve Hargadon

In this episode, Ray Ankrum from the Edupurist podcast had Dr. Benson and I have healthy debate around education. It was a good and spicy time. Here's the full description from Ray's podcast. After 100 Spicy tweets on (7/4) between the ed reform folks and Dr. Keith Benson (Camden), I wanted to bring Dr. Benson on the show to discuss his animus towards education reform and corporate charter schools. He immediately agreed, and was super responsive. Dr. Cole felt a way about being dragged in the middle of smoke that he didn't solicit. Cooler heads prevailed and the two had a conversation that both sides (Ed Reform and Anti-Ed Reform) can be proud of (facilitated by yours truly). What I learned from both of these gentlemen in this spirited dialogue is that they both are passionate about their communities, and they both want Black and Brown Kids to learn. Although Dr. Benson was not converted into an Ed Reformer, his message and his truth is equally important to hear. Both participants are scholars and gentlemen for allowing me to probe, and for us to have a great conversation centered around our differences, and how we can meet in the middle on some things. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/charles-cole/support

In this episode, Charles and Ray dive deeper into the recent Atlantic article by billionaire Nick Hanauer as he has his "epiphany' of sorts regarding the relationship between economic inequality and poor education.  Needless to say, Charles and Ray had a lot to say on the topic. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/8-black-hands-podcast/message

In a culture of shallow learning, shallow work, and shallow relationships, the Waterloo School of Austin is fostering deep learning, deep work, and deep relationships. The way we run schools was designed by 10 people back in the 1890s. Why should we be surprised that today's education system is not producing people ready to thrive in a dramatically changed world? The Waterloo School of Austin is a new high school that is changing how education is done.  In this episode, I talk to Craig Doerksen and Carol Blosser, two of the co-founders of the Waterloo School. If you are interested in developing young people into well-educated deep thinkers, this episode will be right up your alley!
