John continues his conversation with Matt Beaudreau. In Part 1, Matt discussed his perspective on education, the flaws in traditional education, the concept of real learning, and his mission to transform the educational system through his organization, Apogee Strong. Matt believes that true education is about developing sovereignty, freedom, and the ability to define your path in life. In this episode, they discuss the importance of engaging in respectful conversations (even when disagreements arise), questioning everything to keep learning and growing, and much more!

Everybody has something amazing to offer the world, and a lot of times, they've learned it through being a total moron and through pain.  They're still also struggling to get better somewhere.” “Be careful on both extremes. If you consume too much and don't put it out, you're like a sponge that's full of water. A sponge is designed to be wrung out so it can absorb again. But if you're always giving and never receiving, you're dry, hard, and kind of brittle.” “Don't get stuck in infobesity. Don't get stuck in just consuming and never acting on what you consume.” “Leaders don't care about the number of followers; they care about building more leaders.” “Good questions are always better than the answers. As soon as you assume you have the answer, you inherently stop growing in that arena.” “It's okay to take a lot away from a book, wrestle with concepts, and say, ‘I don't agree with this, but I do agree with that.' Growth comes from that wrestling.” “At the end of the day, all education ends up being self-education. So there's got to be a bit of self-awareness in there too.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth by Brad Blanton (https://a.co/d/6Dj8gni) The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life by Todd Herman (https://a.co/d/3Ugz1Z8) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/CraigGroeschelLeadershipPod) Read to Lead Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/ReadToLeadPodcast) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://apogeestrong.com/ https://www.apogeestrongfoundation.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-beaudreau-071a5b99/ https://www.instagram.com/mattbeaudreau/ https://x.com/MattBeaudreau https://www.facebook.com/matt.beaudrea https://youtu.be/JPAXMNXy5UQ?si=1Mk62agvQHNOKLRm https://youtu.be/fv8tYbljc0s?si=ISC9MBP8EmCIlBwX  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

John talks with Matt Beaudreau — educator, co-founder of Apogee Strong, entrepreneur, two-time TEDx speaker, Stanford University's Corporate Trainer of the Year, host of The Essential 11 Podcast, author of the book Collaborative Homeschooling: A Manifesto for a 21st Century Education After COVID-19, husband, and dad.

It involves relationships and paying attention to the humans. It's about teaching people instead of teaching a curriculum.” “Education does not have anything to do with subjects. It has to do with a transfer of the way of life.” “Life does not reward you for being a great student in terms of skill transferability. From an educational standpoint, I want to make education as close to life as possible.” “Education should be a microcosm of the life you're actually going to live.” “I have an approach to business that comes through the avenue of life. I believe in order to be great in business, you actually have to be great at home, because it's all about relationships—both of them.” “In the short term, you're as good as your intensity. In the long term, you're as good as your consistency.” “If you cannot explain something simply enough, as if you were explaining it to a five year old, you don't understand it well enough.” “Simplicity is always a good goal.” “Far too often, we overcomplicate things to try and make ourselves look smart.” “Say the things you mean, mean the things you say, and you're not going to go overboard.” “The kids' issues are just a byproduct of our issues projected upon them.” “You can't tell your kids they can be anything they want while you're miserable at your job. That's called hypocrisy.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://apogeestrong.com/ https://www.apogeestrongfoundation.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-beaudreau-071a5b99/ https://www.instagram.com/mattbeaudreau/ https://x.com/MattBeaudreau https://www.facebook.com/matt.beaudrea https://youtu.be/JPAXMNXy5UQ?si=1Mk62agvQHNOKLRm https://youtu.be/fv8tYbljc0s?si=ISC9MBP8EmCIlBwX  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Jim Bailey, founder and director of Rock, Tree, Sky - an immersive school located in upper Ojai, has been a key participant in an exciting new approach to education, called Education Reimagined. Jim was among the invitees of distinguished educators who attended a seminal conference in Rhode Island earlier this year, called "Exploring Ecosystems in Community: Insights, Questions, and Collaborative Learning." Bailey, who came to Ojai several decades ago as a science teacher and who has also taught at Oak Grove School, is known as an influential, transformative teacher, so he was exactly the kind of educator we need reimagining education for the modern era. He said the approach is to "work for the many, for all learners, not just some; we need to bring in more student agency and self-determination." We talked about the many lessons he's learned as a caring, thoughtful teacher, and how it's possible to ignite a love of lifelong learning in unexpected ways. The wide-ranging discussion touched on key issues that confront Ojai and a society at large. We did not talk about pickerel mating habits, Japanese salt cures or the shifts in ocean currents.

Innovation, not regulation. This is the mindset North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has instilled in his state's approach to education. As a result, innovation abounds across the state.Hear firsthand from Governor Burgum about all the unique ways North Dakota is disrupting education and laying the foundation for other states to adopt a new model that is better for students, better for schools, and better for communities.In this episode:Learn why states should flip their focus from inputs to outcomesEmployers: hear why you're already too late when you start recruiting students in high schoolK-12 districts: get a 3-step roadmap for building a career readiness modelHigher education: discover the four forces that are disrupting higher education - and how you can respond.Plus, hear about the Governor's areas of focus as he runs for president of the United States and seeks to bring the success of North Dakota to the rest of the country.3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Education should focus on outcomes, not just inputs: Too often, education fixates on inputs (what's the budget?) rather than on student outcomes. If we can flip that model and prioritize the outcomes we're producing in students (stackable skills, competencies, relevant knowledge), then we can align the budget to ensure those outcomes are met.Career readiness is a journey that starts in kindergarten. Here are the three steps K-12 districts should implement: Governor Burgum outlines how school districts can maximize exposure to all different career options for students at each level of their K-12 journey. Career awareness begins in elementary school, career exploration happens in middle school, and career education happens in high school. Listen to the episode to hear what each step entails.Higher education is being disrupted by four forces: Technology, economics, demographics, and a culture mindset shift are all impacting higher education today. Leadership must respond to these forces with a willingness to adapt the higher education model to remain relevant.Resources mentioned in this episode:North Dakota Office of the GovernorGovernor's Summit on Innovative EducationTo learn more about Governor Burgum's presidential campaign, visit: dougburgum.comConnect with Governor Burgum online:Instagram  |  Twitter / X |  Facebook  |  YouTubeEpisode page: https://techedpodcast.com/governorburgum/Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

"Inclusion in a conventional setting, we like to say, is like an invitation to the party. In a learner-centered environment, it creates a condition where people don't need an invitation.

In this episode, I speak with Gary Chapin of Educating for Good and Seed + Spark. Gary is the co-author of 126 Falsehoods We Believe About Education (2021). He has been working in education since 2000, first as a teacher, then as a curriculum director, then as a Dept. of Ed. researcher, and most recently as an advocate and supporter of equity based practices such as competency-based learning, performance assessment, adaptive leadership, and collaborative cultures. He is deeply fascinated by questions like: What should kids learn? How do we decide what kids should learn? How do we learn what they learned? How can learning what they learned help them learn more? We discuss: • How we can tell the story of learning in ways that bring in the voices of all stakeholders, not just the numbers in quantitative assessments; • Belonging as a relationship that cannot be undone; • How we might need to build something new so that the traditional system doesn't subvert new ideas.

In this three-minute special episode, Amy Valentine, Future of School CEO and Education Evangelist, gives commentary on a newly released survey from the National Parents Union that received coverage from The 74. In the survey, 6 in 10 parents indicated they'd like to see schools offer expanded remote learning options, even once pandemic-related restrictions have ended. Online learning has been present in America for 25 years, but is still very new to most Americans, with the past several months being the first exposure most students and parents have received. However, we've already come a long way, with parents becoming aware of the promise of flexible learning options to best meet comprehensive student needs.

Sitting on a patio with several teachers put me next to Middle School PE teacher, Riley Hubbard. This first year teacher described a lesson to me for her class, and I was fascinated. This is PE? So she and another educator took me through their thinking in transforming Physical Education. So here's what I learned. P.E., in their minds, is about Movement; it's about Inclusivity and Empathy; it's about Conversation and Community; it's about Access, Self-Agency, and Reflection. And I thought, Oh, this is Physical Education reimagined. That's what you will find here in this episode, as we follow the story of Kendra Vair and Riley and how they hook kids and embed social emotional learning, giving access to all of their students.

The learner-centered movement is pushing the boundaries of what school should be for so many young people. It's fundamentally asking teachers, administrators, parents, and student to rethink what might be possible in school. In this episode, we explore some of these ideas with Kelly Young, the President of Education Reimagined, and Grace Kiboko, a recent graduate of Iowa BIG and a participant in SparkHouse, a learner-centered convening of Education Reimagined.

This is the fourth and final episode in our exploration of the theme community this month, and I want to say from the start, that this conversation you're about to hear on equity, community, and culture has been one that I've been struggling with recently. There are many challenges and tensions that we face in schools and education today, but none may be more complex than the one surrounding equity in terms of race and gender. There's no question that white male privilege is finally being challenged in many healthy ways, and around the world I think what we're seeing is perhaps the last gasp for white males attempting to maintain power over the narrative of society. That's long overdue, but we have a very long way to go. "I Don't Know What to Do" For me personally, that struggle hit home about a month ago at a workshop I attended in Pittsburgh put on by Education Reimagined, a non-profit group out of Washington, DC. It was, in a word, transformative for me. As we were discussing ways that we could bring the idea of learner-centered education to schools as a way of changing the experience of school for the better for all kids, a number of people of color in attendance gave impassioned reflections on what it was like to live in a culture and a society that is still dominated by primarily white narratives. They argued with great emotion and frankness that these issues of equity reached well beyond schools and classrooms, and that there was still little widespread understanding of the injustices and fears that People of Color still carry with them today. It left me deeply moved, and to some extent speechless. I was almost happy when the white education secretary of a Central US state stood up at the end and said, "I don't know what to do" because she took the words out of my mouth. Since that weekend, I've been reflecting deeply on my own biases, on the societal narratives that re so rooted in white history, and on what I can do to not be complicit in perpetuating them. I know I'm at the start of a journey, one that for me begins with reading the book White Fragility, and also begins with bringing more voices of people of color and sexual orientation into my networks and my interactions. Creating Cultures of Community Which leads me to today's interview with Tricia Ebarvia. Tricia is in her 19th year teaching high school English, and she’s the department chairperson at Conestoga High School in Berwyn, PA, located outside Philadelphia. She was a Heinemann Fellow from 2016-2018, where she wrote regularly about creating an inclusive literacy classroom, and she's developed into a leading voice around anti-bias, anti-racist pedagogy. She co-founded the #DisruptTexts conversation on Twitter and elsewhere, and she's the co-director of the Pennsylvania Writing and Literature Project. Tricia and I talk about the difficulties of creating cultures of community, the many biases that educators bring to their work, and some ways in which we can begin to build more understanding of equity, race, and gender issues into our personal lives and into our classrooms. I learned a lot from our conversation and I hope you will as well. Don't forget, if you like what you hear today, please head on over to iTunes and give us some love via a review and rating, and I hope that you'll continue the conversation around story with us in our modernlearners community.

  Kelly Young is the Executive Director at Education Reimagined, where they seek to help educators create a learner-centered learning environment. What happens when kids don’t learn the same thing!? It is a myth that just because things are being taught that all students are all learning the same thing. Kids are not learning the same things now even though we may be teaching the same thing now. What are the competencies that kids need to have? Once kids get over the fear, they realize they have a lot to say. All of your learning is not going to be in K12 Inspire life-long learning Equity issues Examining what bias we might be bringing. This process of education is incredibly liberating for educators.

Kelly Young, executive director of Education Reimagined, joins Episode 48 of Reality Check to talk about her quest to bring learner-centric education models and methods to the forefront of practice in the field and tools and techniques to the hands of teachers longing for a better way to help their students accomplish more. Young discusses the need to reimagine and refocus the way young people are educated and stay lifelong learners throughout their time as a bona fide student, as well as beyond classrooms in the workplace, and continuing as an individual among the many people of the world. Young takes listeners through Education Reimagined’s mission and the relationship between competency and a learner-centric model, why it’s so important for the future of school and work together, and what it means for the future of America. This and more on this week’s Reality Check with Jeanne Allen.

For the past two episodes, the Getting Smart team have envisioned what the future of learning might look like with the authors of Education Reimagined’s new paper, “School’s Out.” On their final episode of their three-part series, Tom speaks with Tom Rooney, the Superintendent of Lindsay Unified Public Schools.   Lindsay Unified is located in the central valley of California. They are situated in one of the highest poverty areas in the nation. 100% of their learners are on free or reduced lunch, 53% come to their doors not speaking English, and about 33% come from the migrant farming community. They have a deep understanding that many learners have not been receiving the level of education that leads to success in life. With that in mind, their work focuses on meeting learners at their level, with student-centered and performance-based work to lead them to success — and it’s proven successful! They’ve gone from having a 67% graduation rate to a 94% graduation rate this past year.   In today’s episode, Tom and Tom speak about lessons learned from Lindsay Unified and how the community can play an active role in the future of learning, as well as key learnings from Tom’s paper: “School’s Out: Who Takes Responsibility for the Education of Young People?”   Key Takeaways: [:14] About today’s episode.

Sal Khan’s career journey took him from finance to the classroom. The former hedge fund manager now runs the nonprofit Khan Academy, which provides free online education. He says online learning is changing the way students learn and instructors teach. For classrooms that have integrated the Academy into their lessons, students are learning at their own pace and teachers have more time to tutor kids one-on-one. In this conversation, Khan talks about how the Academy is personalizing education for its 60 million users worldwide. Show Notes Follow Aspen Ideas to Go on Facebook and Twitter.
