It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week and joining us today to keep the conversation around neurodiversity in education going is Rebecca Matte, Associate Professor of Education at Landmark College, and Mark DePietro, Vice President for Marketing and Communications at Landmark College.In her time working with neurodiverse students, Rebecca found that students were often quick to list things they struggled with but couldn't list areas in which they excelled. This led Rebecca to adopt a strengths-based perspective, one that takes a holistic look at a student and reframes what is often called a “deficit mindset.”In their conversation, Rebecca and Mark talk about the importance of moving away from deficit thinking, and how you can incorporate strengths-based perspectives into your classroom.A transcript of this conversation is available at blog.heinemann.com© Heinemann Publishing 2023See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When's the last time your students got to write creatively? Or craft a piece of fiction that was entirely their own?Today on the podcast we have something a little different. Tom Newkirk's latest book, Writing Unbound: How Fiction Transforms Student Writing, is all about the power of fiction. Tom believes that it's what inspires writers and motivates them to improve their craft. But over the years, fiction has fallen to the wayside in many classrooms.Tom set out to create Writing Unbound to show just how important fiction is and offer educators a roadmap to integrating it back into their teaching.To inform his thinking, Tom conducted 40 in-depth interviews with students and teachers around the country to learn about how they make space for fiction in their classrooms. In this episode, you'll hear pieces of those interviews with commentary from Tom that illustrates just how broad, expansive, and exciting fiction can be.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is high school math failing students? The way math is taught today hasn't changed much over the years. But along criticism for being being out-of-date it perpetuates inequity by limiting opportunities for many students. There are expectations for high school math to do a better job in preparing students for life in the 21st century.Major shifts in course organization, mathematical content, pedagogy, and assessment are long overdue. To initiate those changes, authors Steve Leinwand and Eric Milou have written Invigorating High School Math: Practical Guidance for Long-Overdue Transformation.This conversation originally aired as a Facebook Live on the Heinemann Facebook page.

Hello everyone! The terms antibias and antiracist bring up a lot of opinions and feelings in people. Depending on who you are talking to, this work might be the most important work happening in schools, or the bane on public education as a whole. Never being shy of a large topic, I wanted to discuss this work with one of the leading (and humble) voices in the space and see what it was all about. Luckily, Liz Kleinrock agreed! In part one of our talk, we covered the WHY behind antiracist and antibias work. In this episode, we take a look at what this looks like in context, and how to sustain this work over time.  Liz Kleinrock is an anti-bias anti-racist educator and consultant based in Washington, DC. A transracial adoptee, Liz was born in South Korea and grew up in DC before attending Washington University in St. Louis, MO. After spending a year student teaching a 5th grade class in Watts, Liz joined the founding faculty of a startup school in East Hollywood where she spent seven years teaching 1st through 4th grades. In addition to classroom teaching, Liz also works as an anti-bias anti-racist facilitator for schools, organizations, and companies across the country. Her work has gained national recognition through a documentary short produced by Fluid Film, and media outlets such as CNN, The Washington Post, NPR, and BBC. In 2018, Liz received Teaching Tolerance's 2018 Award for Excellence in Teaching, and currently serves on the Teaching Tolerance Advisory Board. Liz is proud to share her 2019 TED Talk from “Education Everywhere” on building foundations of equity with young learners, and is working on her first book with Heinemann Publishing. Whether you are a supporter of antiracist and antibias work, or are wary of it, this talk is sure to add to your thinking on the matter.     This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, Textured Teaching: A Framework for Culturally Sustaining Practices by Lorena Escoto Germán. With Culturally Sustaining Practice as its foundation, Textured Teaching helps secondary teachers stop wondering and guessing how to implement teaching and learning that leads to social justice.  Lorena Germán shares her framework for creating a classroom environment that is highly rigorous and engaging, and that reflects the core traits of Textured Teaching: student-driven and community-centered, interdisciplinary, experiential, and flexible.  The actionable strategies Lorena uses to bring Textured Teaching values to life illuminate what is possible when we welcome all types of texts, all types of voices, and all forms of expression into the classroom.
