The evidence is overwhelming that in our schools today, the successful curriculums are those that are directed toward deeper learning, project-based learning, and social and emotional learning. Learners that feel empowered and hands-on, that collaborate and learn empathy are the ones who excel academically. So why shouldn't the same be true of parenting? The recent cheating scandal certainly shows the other extreme. What happens amidst helicopter parenting run amuck, of parents not having faith in the innate abilities and independence of their kids. Maybe you don’t have to let your 11 or 12-year-old fly off to France and change planes by themselves as my guest did, but giving them responsibly at home from a young age is essential. Few people understand this better than Esther Wojcicki. Esther understands not in some abstract white paper kind of way, but by having raised three incredibly successful daughters;  Ann, the co-founder of 23 and me, Susan is the CEO of YouTube and Janet is a distinguished doctor and professor of pediatrics. Esther is in her own right an amazing success story. A formidable voice on behalf of journalism and media literacy, Esther Wojcicki is the founder of the Media Arts programs at Palo Alto High School and serves as vice chair of Creative Commons and was instrumental in the launch of the Google Teacher Academy.  Her new book is How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results.

I am Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello, I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... I love Christmas songs and Christmas carols. I just think they're filled with a lot of joy, right? Although I cannot imagine having to work in a mall or in a store that starts playing carols at the end of November, it would be sort of like an assault I think if you had to listen to them day after day after day. It's like, “No please don't make me go to work, please don't make me and listen to 'Joy to the World' again!” Ahhhh. When you only have to listen to it at your leisure I think it's lovely. I think it's a lovely sentiment and I think it's a lovely song – I mean who doesn't want joy to the world? I want joy. I think joy is an awesome word. I love words that sort of sound like they are. Like joy. I think holiday is another word that's like that. It sounds like it is. Because who does not love a holiday? I love a holiday. Ok I'm all giddy now. I gotta go find me some eggnog and you're going to listen to my conversation with Teacher Nick Cusamano – we're talking about an awesome project for your drama class, that's right your drama class, that is happening right now. The World Theatre Video Project. Go Nick! Lindsay: Okay. Hello everybody! So, today on the podcast, we are talking about a specific project and the reason that I want to talk about this project is because it is something that every Drama class can do, it is something that every Drama club can do. Teachers, you know, grab your students and pull them together and get them involved with the World Theatre Video project at WorldTheatreVideo.com. I have teacher Nick Cusomano on the podcast. He is the, you created this, right? This is your deal. Nick: Yes, it's something that I was inspired by a tweet. One of my first Twitter followers was Karla O. She is the creator of the Drama Teachers Network. It's a WordPress blog. And, she was one of my first Twitter followers and we got to know each other on Twitter and then there, other friends of mine – Courtney, Elrond, and then Mohamed El-Ashiri – the four of us kind of, I think Karla posted out, “March 27's going to be World Theatre Day,” and I'm like, “We should do a video with two weeks,” and another two weeks wasn't enough time. Lindsay: Hey, you know what? When you've got two weeks, that's what you use, right? Nick: Yeah. So, I thought, “Well, let's record students doing All The World's A Stage from As You Like It.” Lindsay: Yeah. Nick: And so, we were able to get the footage together so we had two schools from the states along with another school, Mel Agar who teaches in Illinois, she sent in her video and then Courtney's students and then Mohamed's students and then Karla's students. And then, I edited that in together, all together as a video, and then we posted it. I world premiered it at the Google in Education Summit in Chicago on the 27th because that's where I was on that day and that was my Google demo slam and just had a great time connecting those students together. And, from there, right about that time I found out I was accepted to the Google Teacher Academy. Lindsay: Now, what is that exactly? Nick: About two to three times a year, it's kind of a competition.
