Christa Niven and her Journey Schools have made vast strides in creating a utopian template for learning, focusing as much on emotional intelligence as academic excellence. She began her career in education at the Institute of Child Development researching infancy, risk and resiliency in early childhood. She then directed a program supporting homeless teen parents and their children living in shelters. With a B.S. in Child Psychology and Masters in Education, Christa founded a school serving chemically dependent youth and their children, working in that space for ten years while also serving as a therapeutic foster parent. In 2005, Christa founded her first of several preschools based on Reggio-Emilia, Conscious Discipline, natural play, assessment and observation and natural foods. These schools were consistently voted the best in their areas and Christa was nominated Director of the Year in 2012 and 2016. In 2017, Christa created the Journey School Development Group and launched the first franchises in the Journey School brand in various US cities. She also relocated to Costa Rica, were she opened the Journey School of Costa Rica, the first birth-12 grade school in the Journey family of schools (Swan Dive host Stuart Sheldon's children are both students). Married for nearly 30 years, Christa and Jim are proud parents of five children and the frequent foster parent to 13-17-year-olds coming to them through foster care, private and therapeutic placements.Share your Swan Dive at www.swandive.us

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! Does the thought of your child browsing the internet sometimes make you uncomfortable? What happens if they connect with someone dangerous... or worse... what if their activity DESTROYS their REAL-LIFE reputation?? This week we're joined by Diana Graber, the founder of CyberWise.org and CyberCivics.com. These organizations are dedicated to helping adults and students learn digital citizenship and literacy skills. As long-time media producer sporting an M.A. in “Media Psychology & Social Change,” Graber is a regular contributor to the HuffPost and top news sources. In addition to serving as an Adjunct Professor of Media Psychology at the graduate level, she teaches Cyber Civics classes to middle schoole students at Journey School in Southern California. Graber was recently honored with the “2017 Media Literacy Teacher” award from the National Association of Media Literacy Education (NAMLE), and as a result of her work, Cyber Civics is currently being taught in public and private Waldorf school across the US, Canada, and the U.K! Time Stamped Show Notes: [1:30] - Todd intro [2:00] - This week's guest, Diana Graber [3:30] - Diana explains digital literacy [8:00] - The new tools of the digital age [12:30] - How Diana made her transition into the digital age [15:00] - Materials covered in Diana's 3-year digital literacy course [19:00] - Advantages of being online [21:15] - Resources Diana recommends for students [22:15] - Diana's epifiany / the results of Cyber Civics [27:45] - How to get in-touch with Diana [28:00] - Diana's greatest piece of actionable advise [30:30] - Outro 3 Key Points: 1. Digital literacy can save you from misinformation and preserve your reputation! Many forms of content online are NOT regulated, therefore it's CRITICAL to check sources and fact-check information. In addition, the things you post can affect your chances at college and certain careers... so share WISELY! 2. Digital age tools can be used for good... or evil! Understand that everything you share online is received by REAL PEOPLE. Sharing useful content and becoming a PRODUCER instead of just a CONSUMER can provide real value to the world and set you apart in job and college interviews! 3. Critical thinking skills are the key! Developing the skills that will allow you to validate content legitimacy and prepare a strategy for creating and sharing content offers long-term benefits across your ENTIRE life! As she mentioned in the episode, implementing the digital literacy classes ended up INCREASING standardized test scores SCHOOL WIDE!
