Podcasts about high school students

High school kids are tough to reach… but maybe that's the fun part. In this episode, we're talking about engagement that actually works—finding that ONE thing that makes your lessons hit different. Maybe it's a wild outfit. A totally new lesson design. A classroom setup that surprises them. Something weird, bold, or uniquely you. Because when you make it your own… that's when kids connect. That's when it sticks. Listen now on Teach Me, Teacher — where passion meets practice, and every classroom becomes a story worth telling.

Cell phone policies are one of the most debated topics for secondary teachers, and for good reason! They're tough to get right.

Geneva High School is offering what its teachers think is the first AI literacy course in New York State. The goal is to help students become literate in the many forms of artificial intelligence already available. We meet the teacher, who thinks that while students can't be allowed to simply cheat using AI, they also shouldn't be asked to become luddites. So, what is the right balance?In studio: George Goga, adjunct professor of English and education at SUNY Geneseo and teacher at Geneva High School Payce Chu-Lustig, teaching assistant at Geneva High School  Vivian Hoang, teaching assistant at Geneva High School  ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

For the second consecutive year, a majority of students report that when they are most engaged in school, it is because their teachers made the coursework exciting and interesting. Yet, just half of middle school and high school students say their teachers seem excited about what they teach. Only 43 percent say the lessons are interesting, and 37 percent say coursework feels connected to the real world. When schoolwork is challenging and relevant, it helps students build lasting skills and confidence. The increase from 70 to 78 percent of students with a teacher who excites them about the future highlights the powerful role educators play in student engagement and outlook. These findings highlight a chance for schools, communities, and policymakers to respond. The Walton Family Foundation is committed to expanding access to engaging, relevant learning so that every young person, no matter their path, can thrive in school and in life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Together, they unpack the promises and pitfalls of artificial intelligence in classrooms: from personalized learning and teacher support to hard questions about what kids must still learn on their own to develop critical thinking.Drawing on research, student voices, and Idaho's own evolving approach, Alexis and Jeff wrestle with the big questions facing parents, educators, neighbors, and lawmakers alike:What must change in how we educate students in the age of AI?What must never change?And how do we protect both opportunity and accountability when the tools are moving faster than policy?If you've ever wondered whether AI is education's golden ticket—or just another distraction—you won't want to miss this deep, timely conversation.Links to Articles:What Do Kids Actually Think About AI?What's Really Going on in AI in Schools?

As students and teachers are settling into a new school year, Minnesota Now is looking at how artificial intelligence is changing teaching, learning and wellbeing in the classroom. We have talked with a consultant working on AI policy at the district level and a high school English teacher. Next, we hear from a student. High school seniors in this year's graduating class were freshmen when Chat GPT launched in November 2022. Every year since then, AI chatbots have become more prevalent. Elianah Dollar-Simmons is a high school senior who has done a lot of work with AI, but not in the way you might assume. She built AI models as part of summer programs at MIT and Carnegie Melon University. Dollar-Simmons joins MPR News host Nina Moini from Tartan High School in Oakdale, a suburb east of St. Paul.

While still a junior at Grant High School in 2022 Alex Sahli submitted a design for a LEGO set of the Italian Riviera. At 17 years old, he had already submitted five designs for sets to LEGO Ideas. That’s an online platform which allows fans of the iconic toy building blocks to upload a design of their own creation and win enough votes of support from fellow LEGO enthusiasts for the company to review it and possibly turn it into a mass produced set. Sahli’s submission of an Italian village scene featured, among other details, a Vespa scooter, fishing boat, gelato shop and brightly colored buildings with tiled roofs.   But it wasn’t until two years later, in 2024, when Sahli was a college freshman, that LEGO informed him that his design had been accepted for production. Later this month, the Italian Riviera set will go on sale, with more than 3,000 pieces and nine minifigures, including one immortalizing the designer himself as a camera-toting tourist.  Sahli joins us to talk about the experience of designing a LEGO set and his other original creations that are attracting a following on social media.

When you think of debate, you might picture presidential candidates interrupting each other, pointing fingers, and undermining their opponents. It often feels like a reflection of today's fractured and tense civic discourse. But in high school debate clubs, students are learning a different approach. These clubs provide a rare space where young people can engage with current events, articulate their ideas, and—perhaps most importantly—practice active listening. At a time when algorithms often reinforce a single perspective and fewer young people engage with the news, that's no small thing. A 2022 RAND report found that only 37% of schools have debate clubs. What are these clubs doing right, and should that number be higher?
