He quickly learned that his own students were just as bored and unmotivated as he was back in school.In 2013, community and school leaders in Cedar Rapids came to Trace Pickering with a proposal: start a high school program that brings the local community and the school together and make learning relevant and contextual to students.

When you look back on schools closing in March 2020, how have your perspectives, needs, and aspirations changed in such a challenging year?  The pandemic has taught us all so much. As I reflect on the last year (plus), three major themes occur. On today's podcast, I'm exploring the effect of the pandemic on equity, mental health, and the ever-changing educational system.  With so much transition happening in schools, the time is right to evaluate what is working, what we can adapt, and what we can leave behind.

The traditional educational paradigm is filled with obsolete concepts. How can we expect our young learners to thrive by gathering information, but not knowledge? How can we shift teachers to a learner-centered paradigm that offers context to the content? On today’s podcast, I’m talking with Trace Pickering, co-founder and Executive Director of Iowa BIG. His program offers students an opportunity to explore their passions and interests through project-based learning. Listen in as Trace reminds us that sometimes the greatest opportunities for growth come from the greatest challenges, creating knowledge is not the same as gathering information, and student engagement increases when content has context. About Trace Pickering: Dr. Trace Pickering is the co-founder and executive director of Iowa BIG, a learner-centered educational program in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Trace is a life-long advocate for transforming education, as opposed to simply reforming what we have now. Trace lives with his wife, Kim, and dog, Stella, and has two grown daughters.
