What if your first day of school wasn't just nerve-wracking, but something you'd spent your entire life preparing for? That's the reality for Auggie Pullman, the main character in Wonder (2017), a film that tells the story of a young boy with facial differences entering a mainstream school for the first time. In this episode, host Kevin Stoller, co-host Carla Cummins, and guest speaker Brian Proctor took a deep dive into the film - not just as a touching family drama, but as a case study in education. From peer relationships to teacher support to the role of school culture, Wonder gives us a lens through which we can evaluate how schools succeed - or fail - in creating inclusive, student-centered environments. The panel explores the film's central themes of belonging, identity, and the dynamics of family and friendship. They dive into character development, examining how each person - Auggie, his sister Via, classmates like Jack Will, and school leaders - represents a different experience with acceptance and adversity. The conversation also touches on kindness, leadership, bullying, and the growing influence of social media in school dynamics. Guest Brian Proctor, who transitioned from education leadership to a role in school architecture, shares his perspective on how physical space contributes to emotional safety and inclusion. Takeaways: Family dynamics play a crucial role in shaping children's emotional and social growth. The principal's leadership style showcases how kindness and character education can take priority over rigid rule enforcement. Quotes from the film, like “When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind,” leave a lasting emotional impact. Social media is a double-edged sword—it can amplify support, but also bullying, shaping students' daily realities. About Brian Proctor: With 25 years of experience in public education, Brian Proctor joined Ratio as an Associate Principal and Education Planner, bringing new perspectives and thought processes to projects as he serves as a bridge between K12 clients and design teams. Brian offers unique and relevant insights based on his first-hand experience within education organizations, including years of leadership as an elementary school principal and as a key contributor to the design and development teams of multiple school renovation and construction projects. Drawn to Ratio's values-driven culture and community-focused team, Brian shares a passion for personal growth and positive impact. He connects people through fun and energetic communication that comforts and engages and encourages active participation. His work focuses not only on the social and emotional wellbeing of students and staff, but also on purposeful design that supports all learners. By simplifying situations and spaces – reducing barriers and minimizing anxiety – schools become fun and nurturing spaces where kids feel a sense of autonomy and support, and love to learn. Brian is a caring and energetic connector who gains his own personal fulfillment by sharing with others and spreading joy – often supported by a closet full of entertaining costumes. Devoting as much time as he can to gathering with family and friends, Brian is dedicated to cultivating partnerships, nurturing relationships, and building better communities – and to taking life one day at a time, making sure to stop along the way to have fun. “If we're asking teachers and kids to be innovative in their learning and problem solving, then we need to be innovative too.” Learn More About Brian Proctor: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianproctor2022/ Connect with host, Kevin Stoller: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstoller/ Connect with co-host, Carla Cummins: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carla-cummins-01449659/ Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/ Episode 237 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Jack Thorne, screenwriter and playwright, shares the eight tracks, book and luxury item he would want with him if cast away on a desert island. With Lauren Laverne.
Hoje no Cinem(ação), vamos entrar de cabeça em uma das séries mais impactantes do ano: Adolescência. A minissérie britânica da Netflix chegou de mansinho, mas rapidamente se transformou em um fenômeno global - e não é por acaso.Com apenas quatro episódios e inteiramente filmada em plano sequência real, a obra criada por Jack Thorne e Stephen Graham (que também atua como o pai do protagonista) nos coloca no centro de uma investigação brutal: um garoto de 13 anos é acusado de assassinar uma colega. Mas o crime é apenas a porta de entrada para uma narrativa densa, que escancara as feridas abertas de uma sociedade que falha em ouvir seus jovens.Rafael Arinelli recebe os psicólogos Guilherme Arinelli e Matheus Rocha para uma conversa profunda sobre Adolescência e as camadas emocionais, sociais e familiares que a série expõe com precisão cirúrgica. O trio discute temas como masculinidade tóxica, redes sociais, a influência de figuras misóginas, a dificuldade dos meninos em expressar sentimentos e a desconexão entre adultos e adolescentes.Mas vai além: analisamos também o conceito de “peste emocional”, a responsabilidade coletiva diante do sofrimento juvenil e a potência estética do plano sequência como forma de gerar tensão e imersão. E claro, não deixamos de lado o impacto do episódio final e a escolha de Adolescência por não apontar vilões, mas sim convidar à reflexão.Esse episódio contém spoilers e muitas perguntas incômodas. Então respira fundo, dá o play e vem com a gente encarar uma discussão urgente sobre o que estamos (ou não) vendo na juventude de hoje.• 03m30: Pauta Principal• 1h24m24: Plano Detalhe• 1h33m22: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

Rund 130 Millionen Views inzwischen die vierteilige Miniserie «Adolescence» von Jack Thorne und Stephen Graham verzeichnet. Die Serie beginnt mit einer Razzia im Haus der Millers: Der 13-jährige Jamie wird von einer Spezialeinheit aus dem Bett geholt und mit aufs Revier genommen. Knapp eine Stunde später überführen die Ermittler DI Luke Bascombe und DS Misha Frank den Jungen des Mordes an einer Mitschülerin. Der Zuschauer ist quasi live dabei, denn «Adolescence» spielt nicht nur in Echtzeit, sondern wurde auch ohne Schnitte gedreht. Denis K. Lennepe und Fabian Riedner besprechen die vier Sequenzen nach der Tat, von denen besonders die erste und dritte Sequenz überzeugen. Am Ende der Diskussion wird die Frage gestellt, ob die Serie nicht nur für die Streaming-Abonnenten aufwendig produziert wurde, sondern darüber hinaus neue Möglichkeiten in der Serienwelt aufzeigen sollte. Nach vier Jahren kehrte außerdem «How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)» auf den Streaming-Dienst Netflix zurück. Der Start der neuen Folgen, geschrieben von Michael Schilling, Lena Tusche, Denise Harkavy, Sebastian Huber, Patrick Stenzel und Sebastian Colley, zieht sich zunächst in die Länge, bevor die Geschichte an den Zuschauern vorbeirauscht. Lennepe und Riedner sind sich einig, dass die Serie einen würdigen Abschluss findet – mit einer Ausnahme.
In this gripping episode, the hosts delve into Netflix's "Adolescence", a harrowing four-part British crime drama that has captivated audiences worldwide. The series centers on 13-year-old Jamie Miller, whose arrest for the brutal murder of his classmate, Katie Leonard, shatters his seemingly ordinary family. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative explores Jamie's descent into online radicalization, exposing the dangerous influence of incel culture and toxic masculinity on vulnerable youth. Through intense performances and a unique one-shot filming technique, Adolescence offers a chilling commentary on the perils of digital indoctrination and the societal factors that can lead to unimaginable acts. The hosts examine the series' unflinching portrayal of modern adolescence and the urgent conversations it sparks about online habits, parental awareness, and the fragility of young minds. Tune in and enjoy, Cheers!
En plus de faire un carton d'audience, cette minisérie Netflix a provoqué un débat au plus haut sommet de l'Etat britannique. Adolescence commence comme un polar. Dans une proprette banlieue anglaise, une brigade de police intervient violemment dans une maison à l'aube pour interpeller… le cadet de la famille. Jamie, 13 ans, gueule d'ange et pyjama mouillé d'urine, ne comprend pas ce qui lui arrive. Bientôt, il sera accusé d'avoir tué de sept coups de couteau Katie, une camarade de son collège. La série, diffusée depuis le 13 mars, bascule alors dans le drame familial et sociétal et pointe en creux l'influence grandissante des idées masculinistes sur les jeunes hommes britanniques. Un sujet qui préoccupe les enseignants au Royaume-Uni depuis déjà quelques années.Les créateurs d'Adolescence, Jack Thorne et Stephen Graham, espéraient susciter le débat avec cette œuvre. Au Royaume-Uni, c'est allé au-delà de leurs espérances : la série a été évoquée au Parlement par le premier ministre, Keir Starmer, et sera bientôt diffusée dans tous les collèges et lycées du pays.Pourquoi cette série bouscule-t-elle autant les esprits ? Comment expliquer l'influence grandissante de la pensée masculiniste sur les jeunes garçons britanniques ? Et les réponses proposées par le gouvernement sont-elles suffisantes ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », deux journalistes de la rédaction, Thomas Sotinel, spécialiste des séries, et Cécile Ducourtieux, correspondante au Royaume-Uni, répondent à toutes ces questions.Un épisode d'Adélaïde Tenaglia, réalisé par Florentin Baume.

On this episode of the podcast, host Dr Pasquale Iannone is joined by two students on the MSc Film Studies programme, Eve Kurt-Elli and Aaron Bowler, to discuss Adolescence (2025), one of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed TV shows of the year so far.A four-part Netflix Limited Series directed by Philip Barantini, Adolescence is co-written by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and stars Graham, Owen Cooper, Erin Doherty, Christine Tremarco and Ashley Walters. The series tells a ripped-from-the-headlines story of a 13 year old boy accused of killing a female classmate. Each episode is shot in one continuous single take, a technique which, far from being a gimmick, has the powerful effect of tying the viewer to events as they unfold in real time.In our wide-ranging conversation, Pasquale, Eve and Aaron discuss the background to the series and unpack some of its themes. They discuss the power of the single take aesthetic and provide overviews of each of the four episodes.

What is the difference - is there a difference - between a generic bout of bad breath and simply stinking of a single food item? How offensive can we get when discussing the elderly? Especially given it's a demographic far closer to either of us than, say, youth. All this and more thanks to a single visit to a National Trust property. Plus we talk about Jack Thorne & Stephen Graham's new show Adolescence, which is truly a masterpiece, and we are VERY SERIOUS about it because being flippant felt weird.

Adolescence – the new Netflix series starring Stephen Graham – explores every parent's worst nightmare: a teenage son accused of a knife-crime. Co-writers and directors Jack Thorne and Philip Barantini join us to explain how the “single-shot” filming technique sheds light on the way toxic masculinity spreads online among young people. Fantasy fiction generated almost £25 million more in 2024 than the previous year - and, a big part of that is the surge in Romantasy, the literary genre fuelled by booktok and YA fans. So, what is Romantasy and what's the appeal? We meet author Alwyn Hamilton whose fourth book is out this month and editor Natasha Qureshi. Ludovico Einaudi is the most streamed classical artist of all time, with nine billion streams a year and a track which recieved 16 billion TikTok views alone. He discusses his compositions for the screen and plays from his latest album The Summer Portraits. Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Ruth Watts
In the 1990s, mothers in the English industrial town of Corby noticed their children were born with similar disabilities. Could they have been poisoned during their pregnancies by toxic waste being removed from the old steel mill? Led by Susan McIntrye, the group rallied to seek justice, but the borough council denied there was any connection between the children and the reclamation project essential to the city's future. The mothers hit stonewalls in their quest for the truth, but a crusading lawyer and a disgraced whistleblower might have the information vital to their case. Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, and Rory Kinnear lead an all-star cast in the Netflix series Toxic Town. Based on the true story of the groundbreaking environmental negligence case, the series follows the efforts of the women as they fight powerful forces to get recognition and compensation on behalf of their children. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews writer and series creator Jack Thorne. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Toxic Town yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Dig deeper into all of your favorite Netflix documentaries and films at Tudum.com. This week: actresses Jodie Whittaker and Aimee Lou Wood sit down with the real mothers of Corby who they play in Toxic Town. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.
Mo Walker and Dawn Glen join Matt to review four new shows available this week. On Netflix, Jack Thorne's tackles the little-known story of what happened to mothers who gave birth to babies with birth defects in the Northamptonshire town of Corby in four-part drama Toxic Town. Channel 4 has new crime drama, Get Millie Black, which sees a British African detective head back to Africa to track down her trans sister whilst also investigating the case of a missing girl. Alibi has their own take on '80s mainstay Bergerac and over on Sky and NOWTV, there's quirky comedy drama Small Town Big Story from Chris O'Dowd.
Begbie himself, and surely a frontrunner for British cinema's scariest man (on screen only, we might add), is our guest this week—it's Robert Carlyle. This time he's playing staunchly moral councilor Sam Hagen in new Netflix drama ‘Toxic Town'. Penned by Jack Thorne (of course), and with a cracking cast of Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, Rory Kinnear and more alongside Carlyle, it tells the true story of the Corby poisonings. Following the closure of the town's steelworks, mismanagement of toxic waste begins to affect the health of local mothers and their babies—who are dismissed by the council and must fight for justice. Robert unpacks his character, and gives us the screen zinger of the year that had us reaching for the birdsong button... Mark reviews ‘Toxic Town', as well as Indian feelgood flick ‘Superboys of Malegaon'. The Hindi language film follows a gang of amateur filmmakers whose shoestring budget spoofs of their favourite Bollywood hits become a cult phenomenon. Plus, Gia Coppola's ‘The Last Showgirl'--the story of a Las Vegas dancer's fading glamour, starring Pamela Anderson in a critically acclaimed comeback performance.

The story of Liverpool's once thriving port is one of spectacular rise, and spectacular fall. In Liverpool and the Unmaking of Britain, the historian Sam Wetherell looks at the city post-WWII, as the decline in the port led to the poverty and neglect of its population, the deportation of Chinese sailors, and the discrimination against the city's Black population. It's a history as prophecy for what the future might hold for the communities caught in the same trap of obsolescence.As manufacturing has declined in the UK it has grown exponentially in China, which is now known as ‘the world's factory'. Dr Yu Jie is a senior research fellow at Chatham House and an expert in China's economic diplomacy. She considers what the mega-cities that have emerged out of China's rise, and the communities living in them, can learn from the history of Liverpool. Corby in the Midlands was once at the heart of British steelmaking, with one of the largest operations in Western Europe. But once the plant was closed in the 1980s, the ‘clean-up' became known as one of the worst environmental scandals, causing serious birth defects in the town. The four-part series, Toxic Town, written by Jack Thorne (on Netflix from 27th February) tells the story of the families as they fight for justice.Producer: Katy Hickman
