My next guest piqued my interest and so I invited her to be a part of The Ethical Evolution. Jennifer Pearson is based in North Carolina USA and is a Shamanic Minister, Spiritual Coach, Reiki Master and soon to be Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator. Of course, everything within her wheelhouse got me curious and I had a lot of curious questions just like what exactly does a Shamanic Minister do? I am super keen to try the Shamanic Breathwork though despite Jen's description of her experience. So let's open up our minds and sink in for how shamanic principles align with the mission of this very podcast!

Access the full blog post and show notes here. Leading from home through a crisis is a whole new beast. We, as educators and leaders, find ourselves leading from a very unexpected place. Home.  Good leaders step up and lead through hard times, and that's exactly what I see happening every day. I have never been more proud to call myself a teacher. Teachers are stepping up and doing things they've never done before, often without any training. No one could have ever predicted we would be in this crisis, and that teachers and school leaders would be leading from home, but what have we learned? Where do we go from here? What will be our new normal? Join me for this in-depth episode on leading through crisis and beyond for teachers and educational leaders. Shoutout All the tech coaches in my Tech Coach Collaborative Group. Everyone has been so supportive and driven to help everyone thrive during this time. Quick Tip of the Week Google Classroom: Use Private Comments for Reflection on assignments.  Some teachers take the private comments feature a step further and make it part of the assignment by requiring that students add a reflection as a private comment after they submit their assignment. Sean Fahey suggests using an open-ended question or give students a prompt like, “What did you like most about the assignment?” or “What part challenged you the most?” Be sure to add this to your directions, so they don’t forget! Watch this video to learn how! All quick tips are here: https://shakeuplearning.com/quick-tip-of-the-week/ Leading Through Crisis and Beyond These are truly unprecedented times. As I’m recording, we are still deep in the clutches of the Covid-19 pandemic and emergency school closures. This means educators all over the country find themselves leading from home. This is a post I never thought I would write. Our world has been turned upside down, and our plans have changed. Suddenly, I find myself writing about leading from home through a crisis. As many schools, teachers, and other educational leaders are scrambling to deliver remote learning from our own homes; we find ourselves leading from an unexpected place. Teachers are leading their students from home. Principals are leading their campuses from home. Technology coaches and leaders are leading from home. Even Superintendents are suddenly leading hundreds of thousands of students, teachers, staff, and parents from their own homes. We don't have answers, but we have many problems and obstacles in front of us. Many of us are over-stressed, anxious, and worried about the virus, our loved ones, the future--the future of school, the future of the economy, and the future of our nation. This global crisis will be marked on the history timeline of every country around the world. Because you are a leader, the pressure is that much greater. You are not just worried about yourself and your loved ones, but your students and your school. "How do we lead during a crisis?" - Craig Groeschel Rest assured, we will get through this---TOGETHER! Good leaders step up and lead through hard times, and that's exactly what I see happening every day. I have never been more proud to call myself a teacher. Teachers are stepping up and doing things they've never done before, often without any training.The pressure is greater than ever for us to be a support system to our students and their families, but we are also worried and focused on our own families. So how do you lead through a crisis? Go. Do. Support. This is what educators do. Anyone who ever thought being a teacher was easy is suddenly realizing that teachers are worth their weight in gold! (Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast) Take Care of Business Now We have the time and the opportunity to move the education system forward in a dramatic way. This is the opportunity to take care of issues that should have been done months or even years ago. For many educators, the tech training they’ve been putting off has suddenly become a must-have skill. Never let a good crisis go to waste! We have many opportunities before us to lead like never before. This is the opportunity to take care of issues that should have been done months or even years ago. For many educators, that tech training you've been putting off has suddenly become a must-have skill. The 4 Phases of Crisis-Driven Remote Learning Phase 1: Emergency/Survival The first phase is the emergency/survival mode. Many schools had already set the groundwork for digital learning and were able to adapt more quickly. For a host of others, this time has brought to light issues that need to be addressed as quickly as possible. You may still be in this phase right now. Phase 2: Plan in Place The second phase is when we start to hit our groove. The plan is in place, and most everyone knows the expectations. The lessons are laid out, we’ve started to figure out how to support each other and our students, and things have started to flow. Many districts are in this phase right now. Phase 3: Wrap Up the School Year Next, we will see the wrap-up. We’re wrapping up the school year to end this semester. However, now administrators are focused on how they can properly report on attendance numbers, support, grades, etc. to pass federal and state laws and requirements. I expect to see some last-minute pressure on administrators and teachers to comply with requirements at the state and federal level. Phase 4: The New Normal So what’s next? Figuring out our new normal. We don't know what this will look like yet or what school will look like in the fall. We do know that we will need digital learning tools for communication, collaboration, and to engage our students in learning inside and outside of the classroom. The need will still be there. What We've Learned - The Gaps! Our gaps have become very apparent! Digital Equity Equity is one of the huge gaps. I commend those schools have been working triple time to offer wifi access and resources to kids who don’t necessarily have the means. The pandemic is truly highlighting the areas of need where equity in education doesn’t exist. This gap needs to be at the top of our list! (Learn more about digital equity in e51 with Ken Shelton.) Skills There are also so many gaps in the skills of teachers and students. The demand for basic digital learning skills has hit a new high. This emergency school closure has shown how many teachers haven't received training and professional learning. Schools who invested in meaningful PD for their teachers and set a standard for digital assignments were much more prepared. Digital Tools The need for digital tools is also bigger than ever. Schools and teachers who had ignored things like G Suite and Google Classroom were in a sink or swim situation. Now is not the time for new tools, as we learned from Jennifer Pearson. But if schools didn't have anything in place or expectations for teachers to use it, you had to find a solution quickly. Offline and Online Activities Even though students may be at home, even those with access to the Internet and devices, we don't need kids sitting in front of screens all day. The school day cannot be replicated online. We need a balance of offline and online activities, as mentioned in episode 57. Communication The need for concise and streamlined communication is ever apparent. Communication within districts and campuses, as well and student and family communication needs more context, and needs to be written in a way that all stakeholders understand, including making it available in multiple languages. Many schools had policies and communications tools in place, which helped them communicate their home learning plans. Those who did not have streamlined plans have suffered and scrambled. Privacy and Safety Privacy and safety for our students and families have become a hot topic among schools and the media. We knew that protecting students was important at school, but how do we protect them at home? Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship is more important than ever. Students need to learn and understand how to behave appropriately online, online etiquette, and how to protect themselves. Leaning on G Suite, Microsoft, and other Tools to Survive Most schools have found themselves leaning heavily on G Suite or Microsoft tools to survive. Some were already users, some only had access without training, and some scrambled to get access in place so they could manage remote learning. Why G Suite Now? Teachers, students, parents, and schools need a one-stop-shop to distribute assignments. (Google Classroom) The need for a video conferencing tool to connect and actually see faces! (Google Meet) And also the need for a better understanding of cloud computing, sharing, and collaboration. I've answered a lot of basic questions from new users! (See also The Guide to Google Drive Sharing.) Why G Suite Later? We've made great strides over the last few weeks. Many teachers and students have gained new skills, and we don't want to lose that momentum. But remember, the focus should NEVER be on the technology, but on the learning goals, no matter where the learning takes place. Learn What’s Next Schools have been leaning on G Suite and Microsoft to survive. I’ve updated several of my resources. You need to know what it means to use cloud computing. These tools are helping us to survive, but they will also be vital as we move forward. The number one purpose of these tools is collaboration. We will be able to maximize the skills learned during this period when we return to the new normal. School leaders guide your teachers to the BEST resources to support your goals. Curate and share! Don't overwhelm with a massive list of resources and links. Leaders must curate! Connect and learn on social media, host a Twitter chat, create a Facebook group, or just search a useful hashtag. The Opportunity for Dynamic Learning You are still a teacher! You still have your instructional skills. Don't forget that! This period is not about digitizing a bunch of junk. Use this time to better your students and their attitude toward learning.  It's okay to fail. We are all learning, and we are better together. We will use these new opportunities to move toward more dynamic learning experiences for our students when we return to the new normal. Hang in there!

Full blog post and show notes available here. Let's get real, y'all! While the world is battling the coronavirus, teachers and schools are scrambling to figure out what this home learning thing looks like. I've put together 12 practical tips for remote learning during school closures. To be clear, this is about this particular crisis situation. These are not the same tips that I would share for a normal school day. Let's keep this practical. Let's prioritize what's really important right now. Let's share and collaborate to make the best of this situation. 12 Practical Tips for Remote Learning During School Closures I wish I could do this for you. I wish I could take this burden off of the many teachers who are in a panic right now. Take comfort in the fact that we are all in this together. Here's some practical advice to consider for home learning during school closures. 1. Grace is Greater Than Grades We’ve never faced this problem before, and we need to make sure our priorities are in the right place. While many are focused on the tech, and how to deliver lessons electronically, we must face a harsher reality. This isn’t just an eLearning day. This is not a snow day. This is UNPRECEDENTED. Students, teachers, and parents are scared and suddenly balancing fears and anxiety with working and teaching from home. All of us, including you and me, need a little grace right now. Under normal circumstances, I would never recommend completion grades, but right now, they may be the best we can get. I wrote more about grace in this post. 2. Prioritize Emotional Needs For some of our students, we are their only safe place. They miss their teachers and the safety of school. Even our students that have safe and loving homes miss their classmates and teachers. Let's prioritize the emotional needs above the learning needs. I always come back to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and meeting these basic needs is more important than a worksheet or checklist. If you can, schedule a daily or weekly office hours check-in with your class. If your school has enabled a video conferencing tool like Zoom or Hangouts Meet, set aside a couple of hours to be online for any students who want to chat. Record a good morning video for your students. Show them your workspace, your family, your pet, anything to connect on a human level. Everyone is missing connections right now. Keep interactions light-hearted when possible. Try having a joke of the day, funny video of the day, or playing a game. 3. Choose a Platform and Stick with It! As I learned many weeks ago from my interview with Jennifer Pearson, a teacher who had been teaching her students in China remotely for many weeks, this is NOT the time to throw a bunch of new tools at our teachers and students. If you were using Google Classroom, or another LMS before your school closed, great! If not, you may be scrambling to figure this out--and that's okay. (Here are some cheat sheets to help with Google Classroom.) But as a campus, and as a teacher, choose your platform and stick with it! Consistency is your best friend right now. It doesn't need to be fancy. It doesn't need to be innovative. Create a one-stop-shop for your students--something I have always recommended. Whether that is Google Classroom, a Google Doc, a Google Site, SeeSaw, Microsoft Teams, whatever, keep it simple! Only use new tools if you haven't been using this kind of technology at all! We are in survival mode. If we can get kids to engage in any kind of learning right now, we should count ourselves lucky. 4. Prioritize Offline Activities for Equity We need more offline activities than online activities for multiple reasons: Digital equity is a significant problem in most areas, so we must give students offline options. Even students with devices and an Internet connection, shouldn't spend all day in front of a screen. The distractions online have always been an issue, but now more than ever, as coronavirus talks dominate every media. The stress of this on parents, teachers, and students is tremendous. Keep it simple! Give students offline options for every activity you assign. Get creative! Offline or paper choice boards, at home BINGO, scavenger hunts, and more, can keep students engaged and entertained. They don't have to require rigor and critical thinking right now. I'm sorry, but just keeping it real. 5. Use a Simple Weekly Checklist Jennifer Pearson also recommended the checklist idea, but I've seen so many crazy templates floating around, it's essential to keep things simple. It doesn't have to be daily. Many schools are embracing a partial week schedule, which I think is a good idea. Assigning activities for the week will simplify communications and the turn-in process. This can be a simple Google Doc or Word Doc, printed for those without access. I would even consider creating a 2-3 week checklist to simplify even more. Check out the weekly checklists shared in this post. 6. Reduce Work by AT LEAST HALF Jennifer Pearson learned early on that you cannot replicate the school schedule every day at home. She recommends reducing the workload by half. I say you may need to take that even further than half. Again, we cannot replicate the school day at home. 7. It's NOT About the FREE Tech Tools Times are tough. Remote teaching and learning is hard, and many teachers, students, and parents find themselves increasingly dependent on technology right now. I am happy to see technology embraced, even if it is out of necessity. However, the focus of what we teach should still be aligned with our learning goals, not the technology. In fact, now, more than ever, we need to be equitable, patient, and full of grace for all our learners. I get it. Right now, teachers need help. They are searching for it, and desperate to find a solution to help them manage this mess we call remote learning, home learning, distance learning...Heck! We don't even know what to call it because it is so new and unprecedented. Take a deep breath. You got this. You are a teacher, and our bottom line is still about learning and supporting our students, not about finding the BEST tech tool. Yes, it's great that so many are available during this crisis, but these giant lists are not useful to the average classroom teacher. As Jennifer Pearson says, use what your students know. New tools can cause assignments to be late or wrong and can add to the anxiety over the situation. Digital learning leaders may find these lists useful, but for the average teacher or parent, it just adds to the confusion and chaos. Please do not overwhelm your classroom teachers with one hundred free tech tools. If you are a leader, take this list down to 3-7 tools for each grade level or subject area. 8. All Teacher Videos Should Be Recorded If you have the capability, record any live teacher videos, so students who cannot attend live don't feel left out. Even the ones without access may appreciate this when they return to school. While we have to be careful and follow privacy and protection laws for recording children if teachers are willing to record their lessons or a good morning video, let's make sure every child gets a chance to see it. That may mean that these are saved for later viewing for students without access. 9. Give Students DETAILED Directions Remember, without you there by their side; students have no context. They need even more detailed directions than usual. Here's a post on How to Package Your Digital Assignments that should give you some ideas. 10. No Assigned Group Work! As much as I usually encourage collaborative learning, now is not the time. This will over-complicate things for you and your students. Do not require that students collaborate or work together. Those students that can work together are already getting on Facetime to share the answers. Yes, I said it, and you know it will happen. Yet another reason to keep it simple and understand we can't control the environment. 11. Fail Forward We all have to have a growth mindset through this process and accept the fact that this is not going to be perfect. The control freak teachers and administrators will have to let that go. There is no way to control this. There is no way to know precisely what is happening in the home learning environment. It's all going to be fine, even if it is not perfect. Even if there are things we don't know and cannot predict at this moment, it is what it is. I beg administrators not to micromanage teachers and students during this time. Even if you ask teachers and students to track EVERYTHING right now, it will not be accurate. Treat your teachers as the professionals they are. Trust them to know what's happening with their students. Just because you can't control it, doesn't mean we should be micromanaging. This doesn't help the situation at all, and in fact, it is adding more stress and anxiety to an already stressful situation. No matter what your role in education, we all have to let go and accept that this is out of our control. You will learn things from day one. You will adapt and be flexible because you are an educator, and that's what we've always done. 12. Practice Self Care Don't forget to take care of yourself during all of this! Being a teacher is hard under normal circumstances. You are about to put on your superhero cape and FLY! I know you can do what needs to be done, but be sure you take time to relax, exercise, pray, meditate, take a long bath, whatever you can do to keep your stress and anxiety down so you can be there for your students. And of course, practice social distancing, stay home if you can, and by all means, WASH YOUR HANDS! This is NOT Our Tech Moment. As much as technology has suddenly become a priority, even for the most resistant teachers, this is not our moment. By "our," I mean all of us who work in edtech, support edtech, promote edtech, and love edtech. Leaders in digital learning are also suddenly very popular, and this is our moment to help and support. Technology will help us survive this, but we also have to accept that survival mode means we can't expect innovative, dynamic learning experiences in an environment we can't control. Even in schools that are working hard to send home devices and hot spots, we have to accept the fact that we have ZERO control over what happens in the home. When we return to school, I do believe there will be a renewed interest in digital learning, and then we will have our moment. Thank you for all you do! I don't think there has been a time when I have ever been more proud to be an educator! Resources to Help FREE Resources, Podcasts, Blog Posts, Cheat Sheets, & More!

REGISTER FOR THE FREE WEBINAR It's important to note the big differences between online learning "snow" days, and the seriousness of closing because of something like the Corona Virus. The time period could be much longer. And while we may use some of the same tools and strategies, the stress and emotions that students and teachers experience during a time like this will be very different. Let's remember Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Listen to the full interview:   Below are tips and takeaways from Jennifer for facilitating home learning with students when your school campuses are closed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), or other extenuating circumstances. Jennifer says, "Get a plan!" We cannot sit back and just hope for the best. We need to have plans in place so we can react accordingly. Coronavirus Closures? Online Learning Tips for Teachers and Schools by Jennifer Pearson 1. Online Learning Doctrine In this new frontier of online learning, everyone will need a little guidance as to how things should work when schools are closed for long periods of time. Our school created an online learning doctrine very quickly in reaction to the coronavirus closures. A document outlining some basic guidelines for teachers from your school's administration will clear up any gray areas. A document informing parents what they can expect from the school during online learning would also be comforting to parents. 2. Get Comfortable Take a pic of your workspace, post it, and ask students to show you theirs. Show students what makes a good workspace, and how to create their own. 3. Choose a Platform and Stick With It. This platform should be one that students have used before, and one which they are comfortable. Google Classroom, Seesaw, OneNote, or Microsoft Teams are all useful. 4. This is NOT the Time for New Tech Tools! Students need routine and structure during this time. Their way of learning has been changed; their environment has been changed, their routine has been changed, do NOT introduce new tech tools, and expect students to use them for learning during the first month of Online Learning. You can have new content or new tech, not both. Go for the content at this difficult time in students’ lives. 5. Use a Checklist Post a checklist every day to help students make sure they do all of their work for the day. In a long feed of posts, it is easy for students to lose track and become unsure of what they’ve accomplished and have yet to accomplish. Checklists can look different depending on the platform. Here’s an idea to use in Google Classroom: Make a topic with the day of the week and everything that will be posted for the day. Specialists can access the Google Classroom and add to the topic. You can schedule the topic for the week and allow Specialists access to schedule all of their assignments for the week ahead of time. 6. Video, Video, Video! Your presence as a teacher and trusted adult in students’ lives is important to the daily routine. Your students miss you! You know your students are accustomed to your way of instructing, it helps them construct meaning. Your voice and presence is important for your students. They need to see and hear you every day. This does not mean a video conference with them every day. It means you record yourself saying, “Good Morning,” every day and recording video instructions every day. Keep it short, light, and cheery. No one needs a fifteen minute lecture video. Screencastify, Flipgrid, and even your iPhone screen recorder will work for this. 7. Reduce the Workload by Half I know this is not a popular idea. I don’t mean less Reading and less Math; I mean choose three subjects for the day. Monday may be Reading, Math, and P.E. Tuesday can be Science, Math, and Music. Wednesday is Social Studies, Art, and Reading. What you will soon come to find out about online learning is that it takes twice as long to do half as much. There are many reasons for this, but I challenge you as an adult to stay focused on the internet for three hours and see how many times you get distracted. Minds wander, comprehension breaks down, and it isn’t hard to get a digital hangover. 8. Consolidate Work Consolidate work as much as possible for students. Fewer clicks, fewer distractions. Try not to send them to tons of websites, sort through different databases, no WebQuests. Put everything you can into a Slide deck or a Nearpod lesson. Every time students have to go search for something, there’s a chance they will get distracted. 9. Capture Kids' Hearts Capturing kids’ hearts is essential during a time like this! Respond to their assignments with voice or video whenever possible. Teach them where to look for your response. If you want students to redo something, teach them the procedure for this too. 10. No Hard Deadlines. Everyone’s situation is unique and different during home learning. Johnny may not be able to do his assignment until mom gets home from work, while Susie has to do her assignment in the morning before her dad leaves for work. No two homes will be the same. Technology can also make it difficult for students to complete work on time. As the Technology Coordinator of a school, I’ve run into many tech problems in my own home during online learning that interrupted my work and my children’s schooling. The deadlines are not as important as the relationship you are saving by giving students grace. 11. Do Not Assign Partner Work. Again, everyone’s situation is unique and different. Stress levels will be raised if students not only have to worry about their own situation but also their partner’s home situation. 12. Get Away From the Computer as Much as Possible. All that screen time is bad for you and your students. Be creative with your assignments and incorporate their physical, living space. We have the opportunity to show the learner how to apply their knowledge to their everyday environment. For ideas, see my blogpost on Unplugging Home Learning. 13. Send Home a Weekly Email to Parents. In most home situations, parents will be trying to support their children in their learning. Especially for younger students, parents want to know what their child will be doing each week. An overview of their assignments or a simple check-in will assist parents who are trying to make home learning work. 14. Give Students Choice Choice boards and learning menus work great for this! Not only will offering choice engage students more, but it will also give options to parents who may not understand an assigned lesson. 15. Use a Video Conferencing Tool. Use a video conferencing tool to keep in touch with your students. Publish a weekly meeting schedule that gives students a daily option to join a meeting and send the schedule to parents in their weekly email. Leave this meeting as an option that anyone in class can join and have fifteen minutes of face time with their teacher and peers. You can use this time to clear up some misconceptions about an assignment or allow students to chat so they don't feel so alone. Some students will never join a meeting, and some will choose to meet every day. Grace and patience is the name of the game. Treat the entire situation with an open mind and heaps of grace and patience. Check out this online learning template from Nadine Gilkison: Make a copy of her template!

I am not a Republican nor a Democrat, In fact I dislike engaging in any “politics”. I just like to support down to earth people who genuinely care about the town in which I live in and the community in which we build bodhi. When I mentioned to  Mayor Brian Gallagher that I wanted to organize and promote a 5k obstacle course run through Somerville, with proceeds going to the all-volunteer rescue squad he was super excited. Mr. Gallagher then set up a meeting for us to discuss the details and invited Jason Kraska as he was a councilman and represented the Somerville Recreation Department. Jason was born and raised in Somerville NJ and is extremely passionate about not only growing the community but supporting the longtime senior residents. In fact, one of his recent projects is organizing a Senior Prom Dance! Now that is adorable! Selflessly offering time, knowledge, and guidance Jason helped make the first Somerville Challenge 5k a huge success! In fact, Jason was with us at 4:30a on race day setting up obstacles and picking up supplies all before he ran the race as a participant later on that morning. I just liked the dude’s energy, he's one of the good guys. As I said earlier, I’m not into politics, so I wanted to pick Jason’s brain a bit to see what exactly a councilman does and how I could help him broadcast his message. Last week, Jason Kraska and Jennifer Pearson sat down with Karen and me last week to discuss their beliefs and love for the Somerville NJ community.

Welcome to the latest episode of ItsNotAcademic: The podcast – education conversations from HEQCO. The Rethinking Access conference is taking place April 19 and 20 and one of the recurring themes that runs through the panel discussions is the role of early intervention programs and strategies. By the time they graduate from high school, many students have already made up their minds about whether they can or will pursue postsecondary studies. Early intervention programs offer supports to students at a much younger ager to help them imagine themselves on campus and figure out how to get there. This sounds great in concept, but what does an early intervention program for underrepresented groups actually look like? On this week’s episode we look at one case study: the Hamilton Community Foundation’s ABACUS program, which targets students in the middle school years. Sarah Glen, manager of the foundation’s community initiatives, and Jennifer Pearson, project coordinator, tell us how the ABACUS program works.

In this episode Becky Freeman talks to Jennifer Pearson about the article recently published in Tobacco Control "Misperceptions of harm among Natural American Spirit smokers: results from wave 1 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study (2013–2014)."

This week's guest is Jennifer Pearson, owner of the Frugal Framer and Framer's Chop Service at 95 Cherry Street in Asheville, North Carolina and Frugal Framer's second location at 2145 Hendersonville Road in Arden. Many of us who are lucky enough to have discovered her business fondly refer to the Framer's Chop Service as "The Chop Shop," ironically removing the word service from the name.  Jennifer is, indeed, providing quite the service to local artists by supplying us with affordable, high-quality frames and framing supplies.  And artists who frame 2D or 3D work know that the right frame can make all the difference in the presentation of a piece. This episode has something to offer anyone with framing needs, whether you have already discovered the Frugal Framer or not.  If you are already one of Jennifer's customers, you may find that she and her very helpful staff offer way more than you realized.  Plus, you will have the opportunity to better get to know this kind, welcoming woman who works with you when you enter the Chop Shop or the Frugal Framer. If you listen, you will learn, as I did, how much Jennifer cares about ensuring Asheville and WNC artists present our work at its best! Highlights of this interview include: the differences between the Frugal Framer and the Framer's Chop Service, to help you understand which might be best for you the history of how artists came to be served so generously by this business items the Frugal Framer has worked with that you might never have thought of framing learning that Jennifer is an artist herself.  In this interview, you will hear her explain that she is not presently active with her art, but she also gave permission for some of her paintings to be displayed below!
