The possibilities are endless in education as technology offers new opportunities every year. But are we using that technology to support teachers, who can then support their students?   This week on the podcast, I'm talking with Jennie Magiera, global head of Education Impact at Google. She's also a bestselling author and former teacher and school administrator. She found her way to education after a transformative school year as a young girl and that's helped her throughout her career as she tries to create that same experience for other students.   Jennie and I talk about her vision for facilitating teacher support. She talks about the need to reimagine professional learning experiences, allowing teachers to start with their hopes in training sessions. And she shares about the recently published Future of Education report, which studied the future of education across 24 countries. In her analysis of these reports, she provides a glimpse into the changing landscape of education. She emphasizes the ongoing need to understand and respect future users of educational technology and elaborates on how these changes affect students, schools, and the broader education system.   If you're looking for a sign that education CAN change, from the inside out, then this is the episode to listen to. With leaders like Jennie at the helm, anything is possible.   About Jennie Magiera:   Jennie Magiera is the Global Head of Education Impact at Google, the Corwin bestselling author of Courageous Edventures and the founder and president of the non-profit organization, Our Voice Alliance, whose mission is to elevate marginalized voices and perspectives to improve equity & empathy in education. Previously, she was the Chief Program Officer at EdTechTeam, the Chief Innovation Officer for the Des Plaines Public School District 62, the Digital Learning Coordinator for the Academy for Urban School Leadership, and a Chicago Public Schools teacher. Jennie uses her classroom experiences to inform her work supporting educators to create new and better opportunities for their students. She believes that despite the many challenges facing schools today, every classroom can be a place for “edventures”: student-centered, passion-based experiential learning. Her work centers around acknowledging problems and finding innovative ways to navigate them so as to allow teachers and students to dive into these classroom “edventures”.   Jennie is also passionate about reimagining professional learning to facilitate more relevant teacher support. She has served on the Technical Working Group for the US Department of Education's National Educational Technology Plan, helped develop the Dynamic Learning Project, and co-founded various conference concepts such as PLAYDATE and Teachers for Tomorrow. She has been recognized for her work as an Obama White House Champion for Change, Chicago Public Schools Innovator of the Year, TEDx Speaker, Golden Apple Teacher of Distinction, Apple Distinguished Educator, Google for Education Certified Innovator, and featured on various programs such as NBC's Education Nation, C-SPAN's Reimagining Education and NPR.   Jennie shares her experiences taking risks in the classroom and helping others to feel comfortable doing the same in her book, Courageous Edventures.

Welcome Friends. Today we literally rant about the scam being perpetrated on the American People that all comes down to Institutions of Higher Learning morphing into Institutions of Higher Profit. We discuss how the country got in the shape it's in where young people are being forced into smothering debt because they're trying to get a degree which will help them succeed but due to corporate rigging of the entire system and a debt based economy that passes itself off as an American Dream, they really have less and less future prospects with every year that goes by. While all this happens, the bulk of the public turns on each other in useless debate as the corporate cash machine keeps chugging along making money off our backs. Hang out with us friends as we discuss our reality.

Getting a PhD at the University of Toronto has allowed her to reflect on our current education system which has been eye opening. When I spoke with Monika she said that school staff has much more influence on student aspirations, more than we think. Are we helping students to be resilient? Are we preparing them to excel in school at the high school, college / university level? www.AdvancingHumanityPodcast.com

Special Guest: Dr. Natasha Burgert Today we are discussing how to talk your child through the bedtime battle—and win. I know- we all need it! How many parents can say “me too” when they hear a sleepy parent talk about how their child wouldn't go to sleep or woke up in the middle of the night—many of us have dealt with this, me included. My own daughter has had night terrors, nightmares, and I'm just not tired kind of nights. Perhaps that's happened to you? It's not an easy scenario- everyone is tired, sometimes over tired, we, as parents, get stressed as we still have to get the dishes done, we have to finish some work or we just simply want to find a time to relax and unwind after a long day. We clocked out at 8:30 but our kids are still working it. Aren't we lucky to have someone who can help us deal with this challenge today? Dr. Natasha Burgert is a mom, pediatrician, blogger, educator, and National Spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.  In her full-time suburban private practice, she strives to leverage the traditional values and teachings of medical science within today's digital health revolution. Her work with patients has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Parents magazine. She has also been highlighted on NBC Nightly News, CBS This Morning, and other local news programs If she is not in clinic, you can find her on KCKidsDoc.com; as well as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I had the pleasure of being teamed up with Dr. Natasha for an Education Nation's Parent Toolkit Twitter Chat - she has incredibly helpful tips that we can use right away.

Estonia has outranked all European countries in a global academic ability test, and the small country is now planning to teach its best practices to the world. Every three years since 2000, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) administers a test called the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) to 79 countries. This test aims to gauge 15-year-old students' capacity to apply their knowledge in reading, mathematics, and science in solving real-life situations. Based on PISA 2018's results that came out in late 2019, Estonia ranked first in Europe in the three subjects covered. The country also ranked fifth worldwide. Estonia Prime Minister Jüri Ratas said that the PISA results show that young Estonians are among the world's best in applying what they learned in school. He attributed this ability to the collective efforts of Estonian teachers, parents, and children. He also said that this is a reminder for everyone involved in the country's education system that quality education greatly shapes young people's success in the future. Students in Estonia are prepared for basic learning competencies as early as age three or even younger. Estonian Minister of Education and Research Mailis Reps shared that they have also adopted good practices from other countries' education systems. Now that Estonia is at the forefront of European education, Reps said that it is about time they share their recipe for educational success with the world. For this purpose, Estonia created a program that it can export, called “Education Nation – for the smartEST people in the world.” The program will showcase the country's secrets to high-quality education.

It feels like schools are in the midst of unprecedented change — sometimes more in different places and sometimes more in different ways. Many people are thinking about education differently than they did a few years ago. Others still are learning and assessing in new ways, using different tools, and collaborating with different partners. But in what ways are schools changing the most? What happens when multiple changes occur simultaneously? How can people who have different relationships to schools prepare themselves and support change? In Education Nation: Six Leading Edges of Innovation in Our Schools (Jossey-Bass, 2012), Milton Chen draws upon his years of experience using television and the Internet to share educational material in order to explain what schools look like when separate school innovations begin to converge.

Education

Opportunities for learning are now available 24/7/365, as students utilize technology to interact with, learn about and communicate with the world.
