http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the privilege of speaking with Melissa Lewis, Senior Director of Talent Growth and Development at Facing History & Ourselves. We discussed the power of owning our worth and taking agency over our careers. Melissa shared powerful insights on stepping into leadership with confidence, navigating career pivots, and embracing the discomfort that often comes with growth.  Melissa's journey has been anything but linear. From pursuing a PhD and rewriting entire chapters multiple times to making a bold shift from K-12 education to corporate learning and development, she has faced her share of setbacks. Yet, through persistence, courage, and an unwavering belief in her own value, she has continued to rise.  She emphasized that owning our worth isn't just about recognizing our value—it's about taking action. Too often, women wait for permission, hesitate to take risks, or allow external doubts to shape their career decisions. Melissa challenges that mindset, advocating for what she calls the “do it afraid” approach. Whether it's applying for a higher-level role, reaching out to a mentor, or making a bold career move, taking action despite fear is what separates those who step into their power from those who remain stuck.  Key takeaways from the interview:

With unfolding conflicts throughout the world and increasing polarization throughout the U.S., questions of how to engage in dialogue and connect across differences, become increasingly important.    In this episode, you hear from two teens, Easha and Daniel, who have forged a deep friendship and co-created an interfaith club at their school, which centers dialogue, storytelling, and empathy.   Thank you to Easha and Daniel for you're work, and to Facing History and Ourselves for your support.

Daniel Kiel, who is co-chair of an upcoming Facing History event, joins Eric Barnes on this week's episode of “The Sidebar” to talk about how the organization approaches race and social justice.

In which Dan talks about how teachers can feel prepared and empowered to teach and talk about the upcoming election. He's joined by Erica Hodgin from Facing History and Ourselves, truly the gold standard for approaching difficult history and civic topics in K-12 classrooms.This election will bring unique opportunities and challenges for all teachers (not just social studies teachers!) and meeting this moment means thinking about ourselves, our classrooms, and how we'll foster civil discourse when emotionally charged topics come up.Even more than that, Erica discusses why it's vital to engage young people in the democratic process and civic life beyond textbooks.Mentioned in the episode:From Facing HistoryCivic education landing pageDemocracy in Action: Teaching about the 2024 Election & Educating for Civic ParticipationTeaching about Voting and ElectionsBack to School ToolkitFostering Civil Discourse GuideTeaching Resources for US Elections CollectionDemocracy and Current Events ToolkitMusic: We Have a Tripod 

EPISODE 115 | Cuckoo Coups in the U.S. Alarmist rhetoric has been used multiple times in America's past with the express intent of fomenting a rebellion or even a coup. The game is to create a sense of urgency in the hopes that enough people will commit to extreme actions, so you can get what you want (which is power). According to Wikipedia, there have been 13 coup attempts in the United States since it won its independence from the British crown, plus an additional 29 rebellions and well, lots of moments of civil unrest. Things are not always happy and peaceful in the Land of the Free. Often because some people don't think everyone should, in fact, be free.  Here's a look at those that occurred before the 20th century. Like what we do?

Worship service given April 28, 2024 Prayer by Rev. Marta Morris Flanagan, Lead Minister https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 The Alliance of First Parish supports those who have given much. This Sunday, Lara James, of the organization Facing History and Ourselves, reflects on looking backward and looking forward and what we each can do to make communities more inclusive, resilient and hopeful. Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For April 2024, the Giving First recipient is the Living Legacy Project. The mission of the Living Legacy Project (https://www.livinglegacypilgrimage.org/) is to provide experiential education about the American Civil Rights Movement that challenges, inspires, and equips people from diverse backgrounds and identities for justice work in their communities and beyond. Despite gains made by the American Civil Rights Movement to ensure that all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or color, have access to human and civil rights, much work remains. Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) continued to be imprisoned at a higher rate than white people, subjected to police overreach, experienced more poverty, and had fewer opportunities. Protecting voting rights to eliminate mass incarceration takes committed activists and organizers willing to take stands against injustice. The remaining half of the offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu offering” to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive.

Edward Bernays, often hailed as the "Father of Public Relations," was a master propagandist, not a pioneer of PR. His work during WWI exposed him to the potency of propaganda, inspiring him to apply its techniques to private industry. His most notable achievement was encouraging women to smoke publicly, linking it to feminism through the "Torches of Freedom" campaign. Bernays' legacy lies in his application of Freudian psychoanalysis to create associations between products and existing desires to influence public opinion, shaping the advertising industry as we know it today.

Several cities, including Boston, have named the second Monday of October Indigenous Peoples Day. For Massachusetts as a whole, it's formally Columbus Day. How should teachers handle discussions about the day and its origins in the classroom? Jeremy talks to Elizabeth "Lizzy" Carroll, program director at the nonprofit Facing History and Ourselves, and Eric Soto-Shed, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Before Drew Gilpin Faust was the first woman president of Harvard University, she was a historian of white supremacy and civil rights in the South. And before she studied it, she lived it. Faust was raised in a conservative family in segregated Virginia, where women and people of color were expected to know their place. She joins Shirley to discuss her new memoir, “Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury.” Faust shares how understanding the history of racism and oppression is essential to moving forward toward a more just society.

Can the lessons from history challenge today's students to stand up to bigotry and hate? If so, are there resources for teachers that can facilitate productive conversations about heavy headlines? Abby Weiss and Dimitry Anselme, from the non-partisan organization Facing History and Ourselves, discuss the professional development and rigorous content that educators need to help young people wrestle with these moments, talk across differences, and understand their place in a complicated world. [Transcript for Episode 33 is available on EdFixPodcast.com]  

In which Dan interviews Yehudah Potok, Director of Jewish Education Program and  Lead for the Antisemitism Project at Facing History and Ourselves.  A recent uptick in antisemitism around the U.S. had Dan wondering about the state of Holocaust education, so he reached out to Facing History, which has long been a leading voice in education for authentic, deep learning around hard topics like racism and antisemitism. Dan and Yehudah discuss Facing History's unique approach to curriculum and pedagogy, the role of social media in spreading hate like antisemitism, and why, perhaps, we've done too good a job teaching the Holocaust.I welcome comments and questions on Twitter and Instagram @BigIdeaEdMentioned in the episode:Antisemitism is on the rise, and it's not just about Ye from NPRThe State of Holocaust Education in America from Moment MagazineA Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism from Facing History and OurselvesHolocaust and Human Behavior from Facing History and OurselvesExplorations Workshop from Facing History and OurselvesTeaching for Justice & Equity from Facing History and OurselvesAntisemitism Explainer from Facing History and OurselvesMusic: mel unfiltered via Youtube Audio Library

We asked our community of Shifting Schools newsletter subscribers to vote on this week's topic and they voted for a conversation on note-taking strategies.

Demystify the process: make space for learners to share what note-taking strategies they've developed by inviting students to so short share-outs or small group presentations.   2. Collaborative note-taking: invite groups or the entire class to collaborate on taking notes   3. Save the last word for me from Facing History: remember that you can use conversation as the catalyst for notes   4. Social silent reading: this might be Jeff's favorite--it is powerful for learners of all ages   5. Use protocols like those found in our free guide.    6. Use Jamboard-specifically our 'might mights' framework to gather questions. You can find that guide here.   7. Leverage annotation mentor texts using Genius.com   8. Invite students to record a video tour of their notes to be shared with others   9. Leverage ChatGPT to ask for a template and in small teams make improvements Also as discussed if you are registering for NCCE use our special promo code for a discount: shiftingschools50 Want to take 25 dollars off any of our Shifting Schools offers?

At this week's Round Table, Collin, Erina, Kenisha, and Madeline spoke with Dr. Steven Becton, Chief Officer of Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at Facing History and Ourselves. Dr Becton has spent his career working deeply in and with schools to create whole school culture and transformational educational experiences that equip educators, while also empowering students, to overcome the systemic issues that have placed them at risk. We talked about the structures that uphold racism; the impact of structural racism on communities and schools; the importance of disrupting narratives, and confirmation biases, about what people can and can't do, whether Black, new immigrants, non cis gendered, or anything outside dominant identities; and the power to teaching difficult history to students along with teaching them to be critical thinkers and giving them space to come to their own conclusions–which is far afield from the purported “indoctrination” that worries people in relation to race. We talked about how America was born in a paradox (not a contradiction), with two competing ideas sitting as truths for people–that is, that all men are created equal at the same time that the founders were enslaving people–and how we still live with paradoxes and the consequences of them. We talked about how as activists, we too often fail to connect change to policy, yet most of what happens in our country is influenced by policy as much as by culture and changing hearts and minds. Dr Becton underscored that the anti-racism movement doesn't need allies; it needs co-conspirators. He reminded us of the danger of thinking it's THOSE people who have the problem when we often have to think about OURSELVES–what price are WE willing to pay for equity? History has taught us that it costs upstanders something. Are we willing to give up power? Positionality? Income? Good schools? We encourage you to join us in this self-interrogation–and in taking action based upon it. Thank you for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nextgenpolitics/message

“The lessons of history can help educators and students stand up to bigotry and hate,” says Brian Fong, Program Director for the California Facing History and Ourselves chapter. Through this organization, Brian works to help others engage in complex topics, such as race and sexuality. Ultimately, Brian aims to nurture an empathetically challenging environment to facilitate positive change. During his first year of teaching, Brian faced his blind spots through his diverse body of students. Realizing that he needed to become an upstander in society, a person who defends those different from them, Brian began his journey promoting inclusion. He encourages the listeners to have brave conversations that can foster change. Tune into this week's episode of The Language Alchemy Podcast for a straightforward conversation on disrupting the bystander effect. Learn more how you can respond as an upstander when you hear someone making an intolerant comment. Quotes • “The lessons of history can help educators and students stand up to bigotry and hate.” (3:40 - 3:45 | Brian) • “We can talk to one another to prolong a dialogue rather than shut down a conversation.” (14:49 - 14:56 | Brian) • "Being an upstander is tiring, and it's challenging. The more we can have allies and the more people are willing to embrace an upstander mindset, the less burdensome it becomes.” (28:05 - 28:18 | Brian) • “Let's find ways that we can be upstanders together because that will make it easier for this to be the norm, rather than by bystanding." (28:20 - 28:28 | Brian) • “The less we have opportunities to sit in each other's company to share our stories, the less we learn, and the more that we allow other stories and other narratives to be told about us rather than by us for one another.” (31:43 - 31:56 | Brian) Links To learn about Facing History and Ourselves and donate, click here: https://info.facinghistory.org/san-francisco-bay-area-25th-anniversary To view Loretta Ross Ted Talk, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw_720iQDss To ask your communication questions, click here: languagealchemy.com/podcastquestion To join the mailing list, visit: languagealchemy.com Podcast Music composed by Gary Lapow: open.spotify.com/artist/1HlMhcNfKIELxYil5mVqDI Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

MyKhanh Shelton, SVP of Equity and Inclusion at WarnerMedia, joins Jerry to share her story of her belief in using media to help bring equity and inclusion to elevate Asian American and other marginalized communities. Listen today to learn about her career path from law, inclusion strategist, to media executive who's using her platform to amplify and uplift all of us.Meet MyKhanh in her own words:I design and implement evidence-based initiatives to make companies more diverse and culturally competent. My 20+ years of experience as a lawyer and inclusion strategist give me the unique background and ability to develop safe and equitable work cultures that drive business productivity, innovation, creativity, and profitability. I place a premium on analytics, counseling, and training to achieve business results. I work to uncover root causes as a means to devise data-driven solutions that produce institutional change.As Senior Vice President, 21st Century Fox Global Inclusion, I worked with senior executives to conceptualize and drive strategic initiatives to increase diversity and foster inclusion in corporate and tv/film production environments. I led a dedicated team to launch first-of-its-kind initiatives, including Inclusion Week (uniting colleagues around the world in conversation with innovators, artists and academics to draw out, examine and enhance inclusive attitudes and behaviors); the Fox DP (Cinematographers) Lab; and the Filmmakers Lab.Prior to that, as Senior Vice President, Employment Law, I was trusted and acknowledged for consistently finding win-win solutions in contentious circumstances, building consensus, accruing buy-in for change initiatives and working through competing interests. I transformed mandatory harassment training into solutions-oriented, engaging opportunities to inspire and equip employees to create safe and inclusive workplaces, resulting in increased productivity and decreased legal risks.I'm passionate about eliminating barriers for people from underrepresented groups and am proud to sit on the board of Facing History and Ourselves, an international non-profit that engages students in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry.

Andrew is so thrilled to be reunited and joined by his Kean University undergraduate mentor, Dr. Jan Balakian. Jan talks about her new play Dreams on Fire which will have a Zoom reading on April 27th at 5pm. Use this link to watch the reading: https://kean-edu.zoom.us/j/93693342238 Dreams on Fire tells the story of the Armenian Genocide and the traumatic effects on future generations. When Jan was a PhD student at Cornell, she won a Cornell playwriting prize for her play in 1989; this achievement sparked the creation of Dreams on Fire. Dreams follow the events of an Armenian-American college student who has a nervous breakdown during a 2016 exam week. While his grandmother and a classmate helped him recover, he began to link his condition to the Armenian Genocide. The connection explores the transmission of trauma across generations and the impact the Armenian Genocide has on the past, present, and future. Projections from 1915, The Palisades of NJ, Arshile Gorky, Facing History's text, NY Times headlines, the Turkish Coup of 2016 are part of the production, along with the melancholy sound of the duduk (Armenian wind instrument), and Katie Melua's Dreams on Fire sung by Aram. Dreams on Fire brings to light a vital subject in our global history and shows how trauma can linger for decades.

There's a battle raging over the telling and teaching of Black history in the United States. Much of that fight has been playing out in schools. School board meetings erupt into fights as critics attack the teaching of what they call critical race theory or charge that teaching about racism is too upsetting to white children or casts students either as oppressors or the oppressed.At the heart of these arguments is a much larger issue - whether or not the country can face the truth about its painful legacy of systemic racism. In Montgomery, Alabama the National Memorial for Peace and Justice is dedicated to acknowledging America's history of racial terrorism factually, honestly, and completely. Civil rights attorney and memorial founder, Bryan Stevenson, believes that embracing this truth is the only path to healing.We tour the memorial with Stevenson, hear some of the stories immortalized there and discuss the ongoing battle over how students should be taught about race.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

She wrote the book because she realized that we're not spending enough time on social and emotional learning to support students. She talked about how SEL is often misunderstood in terms of implementation. Joe asked about the entry point for SEL work. Lorea said it must be entered in any way possible. Lorea explains the HEART acronym and its alignment to CASEL. She lays out three easy steps to infuse SEL into any lesson plan. Every teacher can use this information. Don't miss what she says about brain breaks and movement for our learners. Always have an SEL goal for your lesson plan in addition to your academic goal. ~ Lorea Martinez We need a common understanding in our education community in terms of exactly what we mean by SEL when we're planning for ourselves and our students. Lorea talked about nurturing students' strengths to help them discover their path forward in life. She discussed the false dichotomy about relationships and academics and that they aren't two things but rather one together. Lorea mentioned The Learning Policy Institute as a place she goes for practical research. She also pointed to Facing History and Ourselves as a resource for teachers and leaders. Lorea mentioned two books that she's reading: Once I Was You by Maria Hinojosa Fierce Self-Compassion by Kristen Neff She wants to see a book written that compiles educators' success stories with SEL. We cannot teach what we do not practice. ~ Lorea Martinez ___________________________________________________ Thanks for listening to FocusED, an educational leadership podcast brought to you by TheSchoolHouse302 @ theschoolhouse302.com where we publish free leadership content.

Melissa and Brian Stout of Building Belonging discuss how transformation happens – for individuals, groups, societies and the planet. This includes inviting others to co-create compelling visions, holding space in containers with maximal diversity, stepping into our power and agency, and embodying the change we want with accountability, compassion, grace and challenge. Brian Stout is the source for the emergent collaborative that has become Building Belonging. Drawn to mediation and social justice, he worked for anti-genocide civics organization Facing History and Ourselves in Boston.

The full show transcript is available on our website. https://history.wisc.edu/ask-a-historian/ Recent studies conducted by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany have produced concerning statistics on deficits in Holocaust knowledge among American millennials and Gen Z-ers. Why do many young people lack basic knowledge about the Holocaust, and how do we fix this? Professor Dan Stolz interviews Professor Brandon Bloch about the historical development of Holocaust education, how recent literature reframes our understanding of the Holocaust as part of American history, and why it's necessary to rethink the goals of Holocaust education within a multicultural United States. For Brandon, Holocaust education today can be “a vehicle for thinking about the genocidal power of racism and racial thinking in ways that are not at all distant from our own national past and present in the United States.” He argues that doing a better job of teaching the Holocaust requires strengthening and deepening historical education more broadly.

“For generations, girls' schools have led the way as epicenters for dismantling a wide range of systemic injustices, from equal access to education to voting rights to closing the gender gap. While creating inclusive communities where diverse voices and experiences are heard and valued is a cornerstone of girls' schools, there's no denying we're at a turning point in our history—not just as girls' schools, but individually as nations and collectively as a world.” In this episode of PEP Talks: Podcast on Educational Possibilities, host Olivia Haas, Director of Strategic Communications & Media at NCGS, introduces the urgent need for school communities to build anti-racist spaces in which every member feels an equal sense of belonging. This episode unpacks four key terms—diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice—at the start of the episode before addressing an essential question: How do educators play a role in creating anti-racist, inclusive school communities? Olivia is joined by featured guests and educators, Melissa Brown, NCGS Trustee and the Director of Diversity, Wellbeing and Global Education at Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland in the United States located just outside of Washington, DC; and Deanne King, Head of School at St Mary's School, Waverley in Johannesburg, South Africa.

In the wake of murder of George Floyd, and the national outcry that has followed, Branan and Anson discuss the importance of listening and taking accountability. Yes, this is two white guys trying, very clumsily, to talk about racial justice in our nation. We ask for your patience because this is, embarrassingly, a little new for us. The documentary about James Baldwin entitled "I Am Not Your Negro" is currently streaming on Netflix and Youtube. Here is the official trailer. You can stream the documentary series "Eyes On the Prize" for free on the Facing History & Ourselves website. It is also available on Youtube, with the first episode here.

Thomas A. Russo joined Gardner Russo & Gardner LLC as a partner in 1989. In 2014, he became the Managing Member of the firm. Gardner Russo & Gardner LLC is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and is not associated with any bank, security dealer or other third party. Mr. Russo serves as Managing Member of Gardner Russo & Gardner LLC and of Semper Vic Partners GP, LP, which oversees two “global value”, long-only, equity investment partnerships, the first of which Mr. Russo founded in 1983. Mr. Russo oversees more than $12 billion distributed between Semper Vic partnerships and separate accounts managed in parallel fashion. Mr. Russo looks for companies with strong cash-flow characteristics that generate large amounts of “free” cash flow. These industries typically have included branded food and beverage, tobacco, and advertising-supported media. Mr. Russo's portfolio companies tend to produce high rates of return on their assets and have strong balance sheets. The challenge comes in finding these obviously desirable investments at compelling valuations. Mr. Russo commits capital to leading global consumer products companies whose brands enjoy growing market shares in parts of the world undergoing economic growth and enjoying increasing political stability. He prefers companies with sufficient cash flows from existing operations, combined with balance-sheet strength, to underwrite investments designed to activate emerging markets. Mr. Russo backs rare management teams willing to invest to secure robust future returns even when such investments burden current reported profits. Mr. Russo believes that managements of family-controlled companies have the “capacity to suffer” when investments intended to build long-term wealth are ill-received by short-term focused Wall Street analysts. Mr. Russo believes that such “capacity to suffer” leaves family-controlled companies often uniquely well positioned to bear short-term burdens on reported profits in pursuit of long-term gains in intrinsic value. Accordingly, he often invests in public companies where founding families still retain control and significant investment exposure, to reduce management agency costs and to align owner interests. Mr. Russo's goal is one of an absolute return rather than a relative return. He pursues a long-term investment objective of compounding assets between 10 and 20 percent per year without great turnover, thereby deferring capital gains tax on unrealized gains. Thomas Russo is a graduate of Dartmouth College (BA, 1977), and Stanford Business and Law Schools (MBA/JD, 1984). Memberships include Dean's Advisory Council for Stanford Law School, Dartmouth College's President's Leadership Council, and California Bar Association. Mr. Russo is a charter member of the Advisory Board for the Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing at Columbia Business School. He serves on the boards of the Winston Churchill Foundation of the U.S., Facing History and Ourselves, and Storm King Art Center. In May 2017, he was awarded The Graham & Dodd, Murray, Greenwald Prize for Value Investing.
