Our 200th Episode! It's Episode 200 of the Class Dismissed Podcast! Over the past four years, we've shared stories of inspiring educators around the country, and today we're reflecting on some of our favorites. Using Restorative Practices​ in the Classroom Back in episode 109, we spoke with Nathan Maynard. Maynard is the co-author of “Hacking School Discipline, and he talked to us about using restorative practices.  Maynard gives a digestible look at the benefits of restorative practices and how we can start implementing them in our classroom. Power to the “Late Bloomer” I know I've been guilty of being in awe and applauding kids that can do things way ahead of their age. You know, the kids that amaze us with their music abilities on America's Got Talent. Or those amazing students at the national "Spelling B." In Episode 129, Rich Karlgaard explains why it's essential to recognize that some people's prime comes a little later than others. For example, Karlgaard highlights a 53-year-old woman named Joanne. When Joanne was in school, she was described as a “high-mediocre” student. Many professors do not remember Joanne, but one professor described her as a student that would often stare off into space while in class. After attending school, Joanne got into a bad marriage, worked as a receptionist for a bit, and went into a spiral of depression after her divorce. For a time, she was even on public assistance. But Karlgaard says Joanne is an excellent example of a late bloomer. “At age 35, while taking a train, Joanne, otherwise known as J.K. Rowling, dreamed up Harry Potter,” says Karlgaard. It's a great perspective that we should all consider.  Leading with love – The secret weapon of this tattooed principal In Episodes 54 and 55, Hammish teaches us how he turns around struggling schools. But most importantly, how he leads with love.  On the morning announcements, Brewer says over the loudspeaker, “If somebody today didn't tell you they love you. Mr. Brewer's telling you today that he loves you.” “We forgot to tell kids that we love them,” says Brewer. “So many of our kids don't hear that word enough.” Brewer says if students are in “hot water” with him, he tells them that he doesn't like what they did, but he still loves them. “If you build a culture and expectation around love, hard conversations can be had.” Brewer says he tells his kids that he loves them every day, and they have his back. Taking the fuzziness out of reading comprehension Jennifer Serravallo is the author of the Writing Strategies book and the Reading strategies book. In episode 72, she gives us tips about working with students on reading comprehension. Serravallo says her goal is to make sense of something that is sometimes hard to make sense of. There are many different viewpoints on what it even means to understand comprehension. Ranging from the Rosenblatt Reader-Response Theory to a Proficient Reader Research, it can get murky for educators. Serravallo says, “Sometimes the classroom teacher is left thinking, what am I really looking for? What does comprehension look like? What does it look like when a kid really gets it?” All Rights Reserved. Class Dismissed Podcast 2018-2021.

Giving hope to the average achiever, Rich Karlgaard shares his latest book, Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early. He observes, “We’ve created a new system of snobbery based on IQ scores and elite university degrees. To mitigate this crisis, we must stop excessively glorifying precocious achievement and seeing human development as a ‘fast track’ on ramp for early success. Not only is it unjust to the majority of us, it’s profoundly inhumane.” Why? Because “it ignores the natural-born gifts that we all possess. It cuts off paths of discovery for our more latent or later-blooming gifts and passions. It trivializes the value of character, experience, empathy, wisdom, reliability, tenacity, and a host of other admirable qualities that make us successful and fulfilled. And it undercuts the majority of us who are potential late bloomers.” Karlgaard warns, “We are in danger of losing a valuable narrative about our lives: that we are capable of blooming at any age and in any stage of our lives.” KEYS FOR ENCOURAGING BLOOMING (at any age) Don’t buy into the national obsession with high IQ/SAT/ACT test scores. Nurture curiosity. Resist fast-tracking. Encourage gap years. Give self-doubt a name; consider it a superpower. Learn to reframe using positive self-talk. Embrace opportunities to fail. KEY QUOTES FROM KARLGAARD Why the push for early achievement? “In the past, success was not about becoming rich or famous, or about achieving as much as possible as early as possible. Rather, it was about having the opportunity to live to our fullest potential. It was about being appreciated for who we are as individuals. But that’s been corrupted by the Wunderkind Ideal and our obsession with testing, ranking, and sorting young adults; by our cultural fascination with youth, particularly youthful über-achievement; and by an increasingly algorithmic economy that rewards raw synaptic speed instead of experience and wisdom.” What are the dangers of forcing early achievement? “We’re not wrong to recognize and congratulate early bloomers. Their achievements deserve acknowledgement. But our culture’s obsession with early achievement has become detrimental to the majority of the population—to the multitudes of us who develop in different ways and at different paces. It pushes the message that if you haven’t become famous, reinvented an industry, or banked seven figures while you’re still young enough to get carded, you’ve somehow made a wrong turn in life. This message, I believe, is far more dangerous than most people realize.” “By forcing adolescents to practice like professionals, to strive for perfection, and to make life choices in their teens (or earlier), we’re actually harming them. We’re stunting their development, closing their pathways to discovery, and making them more fragile. Just when we should be encouraging kids to dream big, take risks, and learn from life’s inevitable failures, we’re teaching them to live in terror of making the slightest mistake. Forging kids into wunderkinds is making them brittle.” “Early bloomers enjoy many advantages in affluent societies. But one huge disadvantage they face is that by dint of their youth and accomplishments, they give themselves credit for their success, more than the rest of us do.” Why do most bloom late? “Truth is, many factors can slow our blooming early in life, including delayed physical or neurological development, early childhood trauma, nonstandard learning styles, socioeconomic status, geographical restrictions, illness, addiction, career turbulence—even plain bad luck. Many of us, growing up, are unable to reach our full potential at school—and therefore fall short of our university and professional potential—because we’re fed negative messages about our learning abilities.” “All of us know someone, care about someone, or love someone who seems stuck in life. The critical thing to remember is—we cannot give up on ourselves, or on others, even (and especially) if society has made it harder to catch up.” When do people tend to bloom? “A parent might jump back into the workforce after a decade of child-rearing, feeling ten years behind but being ten years wiser. Or a retiree might find a deeper meaning in life by finally pursuing a childhood dream or mentoring others. Late-blooming can happen at any age, and it can happen more than once in a person’s lifetime.” “Every person needs to have the chance—multiple chances, really—to follow their unique timeline of evolving brains, talents, and passions.” What are some characteristics of late bloomers? “Many late bloomers gain a greater sense of compassion. They show greater reflective thinking, diminished ego-centeredness, and a deeper appreciation of others’ challenges—what psychologists call greater prosocial behavior.” BUY Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement RECOMMENDATIONS BUY The Soft Edge: Where Great Companies Find Lasting Success Check out Forbes “30 Under 30”.

Rich Karlgaard, Forbes magazine publisher and contributor, discusses his recently released book, Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement. With an increasingly competitive younger generation, Karlgaard encourages parents, teachers, and other stakeholders to acknowledge that we aren't all born to be child prodigies and attend Ivy League universities. He says that when we "let kids be kids" and are more patient with their development, the outcomes — whether it be mental health or economic outcomes — are much more beneficial to the health and wellbeing of our world.

We shouldn't obsess over early achievement. We live in a world where we applaud kids that do amazing things at a young age, but Rich Karlgaard is not focused on those early achievers. Karlgaard is the publisher of Forbes Magazine and author of "Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement", and he wants to start a national dialog about why it's essential to recognize that some people's prime comes a little later than others. Late Bloomers begins with Karlgaard highlighting a 53-year-old woman named Joanne. When Joanne was in school, she was described as a "high-mediocre" student. Many professors do not remember Joanne, but one professor described her as a student that would often stare off into space while in class. After attending school, Joanne got into a bad marriage, worked as a receptionist for a bit, and went into a spiral of depression after her divorce. For a time, she was even on public assistance. But Karlgaard says Joanne is an excellent example of a late bloomer. "At age 35, while taking a train, Joanne, otherwise known as J.K. Rowling, dreamed up Harry Potter," says Karlgaard. Why do parents push so hard? If being a late bloomer is ok, then why do we see parents, coaches, and teachers push kids to be an early achiever? Karlgaard's theory is that the predominant rewards in society are coming from two industries, software and high-end financial services. "I like to say Google and Goldman Sachs," says Karlgaard. "Now, these Google and Goldman Sachs, who do they look for in college grads? They look for college grads that have gone to most elite universities." This has created the idea that the most significant rewards go to those that attend elite universities and have the best test scores. Consequently, it leads to parents and educators pushing kids towards doing whatever it takes to get into the best universities. Karlgaard says his goal in writing Late Bloomers is to start a discussion about applying unneeded pressure on students that may need more time. He's concerned that our current trajectory is causing financial indebtedness, anxiety, depression, and sleep-deprived kids. What we're getting wrong Karlgaard says we have a very narrow idea of what K-12 education should be. "That it should be a conveyer belt, and at the end of that conveyer belt, it deposits these kids into the best possible colleges that they can get in to." Karlgaard acknowledges some kids are going to succeed on that conveyer belt. He knows some will get high test scores, and they'll manage the homework, and that's great. But he wants to make sure society understands that if kids are not succeeding, then "Plan B" is not to double down. "There's overwhelming research that the conveyer belt is missing more kids than it's hitting," say's Karlgaard. "Many kids, their talents, deepest passions, and purpose, are never going to be revealed on that conveyer belt." This is what motivated Karlgaard to spend five years researching and writing Late Bloomers. What can we do? If we see kids succeeding at an early age, by all means, we should applaud the success. But we also need to be sensitive to the signs of kids that are rebelling against the current system. Karlgaard says to watch for kids… Mentally dropping out Retreating to the basement and playing video games Clinical anxiety or depression Dropping out school It used to be much easier to be a late bloomer, says Karlgaard. We didn't have social media, where kids compare themselves to the curated versions of other kids. Karlgaard says educators' success should not be measured by how many kids you get into Havard. "Success is measured 20-30 years down the road when you see your students are well functioning, healthy, happy, fulfilled contributors to their families and society."

As a society, we crazily over-celebrate early achievement as being the best & perhaps only kind of achievement, but compelling new research shows most people are actually late bloomers. And because of this, the premise that early blooming is necessary for lifelong success is simply & massively flawed. For any parent worried their kid's lives will be stunted if they don't get accepted to a top college, for anyone concerned that their career is doomed because they didn't get off to a fast start -- and for all managers who were taught humans beings are limited in their growth potential as they age, Forbes Magazine publisher Rich Karlgaard offers highly informed & highly encouraging news on this podcast. Karlgaard's insights come from compelling and broad research, but he's also a late bloomer himself. Despite having a leg up after graduating from Stanford University, he held jobs as a security guard, clerk typist and dishwasher before finding his path in his mid-20's. And, as you'll hear, his life worked out just fine. And the good news for all of us listening in, we actually get better with age, not worse.

People are living and working longer than ever. Listen to this week’s episode to find out why multigenerational workforces – well – work. Let us know how we are doing and take our survey at aarp.org/totsurvey.

In this episode, Host Tom Loarie talks with Forbes Magazine publisher and columnist Rich Karlgaard on the power of "late bloomers" in a world obsessed with early achievement.

And he has plenty of wisdom and examples to share that blows to bits the current trends of pressuring children to overachieve and perceiving failure if not "a success" by age 30. Absolutely false!

"By necessity, we late bloomers are on a different, more challenging trajectory. As we travel through life, we encounter obstacles like the push for conformity, the oppression of groupthink, and the pains of self-doubt. But . . . in all these challenges, we find our hidden treasure. We unearth our individuality. We see that a path to excellence, to reaching our true potential, is available to all of us. Within these challenges lies our true power, our covert talents and secret advantages as late bloomers." —Rich Karlgaard, author of Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsesses with Early Achievement. Unsurprisingly, the new book by Rich Karlgaard spoke to me and offered an abundance of reassurance and exhilaration. If the comments on IG a few weeks ago when I posted an excerpt from the book are any indication, you are or will be as well. Especially as Americans we greatly celebrate, strive for, and thus put pressure upon ourselves, and either unconsciously or consciously, to figure out our path early, to achieve success quickly and when we don't we make faulty assumptions about what we can contribute which can erode our self-confidence and potentially prevent the gem that resides within us all to be discovered and then shared with the world enabling us to find deep, lasting inner contentment. Karlgaard's new book is worth reading in-depth, from cover to cover as he delineates the obstacles that our culture currently needs to address with historical details, new studies, multiple anecdotal examples of how indeed the "late bloomer" simply needs time, patience and awareness to blossom at their own time, as well as the most difficult support to refute findings - neurology. So while I will encourage you to read the entire book, in today's episode/post, I wanted to share with you the characteristics that you might find yourself identifying with when it comes to being a Late Bloomer and not realizing the gift of opportunity you have given yourself to enjoy the rest of your life. 15 Characteristics of a Late Bloomer 1.Curiosity is the late bloomer's fuel "By its very nature, curiosity demonstrates an independence of mind." To keep on blooming throughout the entirity of our lives, forever remain curious. 2. We are predisposed to be compassionate "In facing the ups and downs of life, many late bloomers gain a greater sense of compassion. They show greater reflective thinking, diminished ego-centeredness, and a deeper appreciation of others' challenges." Because late bloomers have faced struggles along the way, have refrained from conforming at the expense of our social connections and acceptance into "the group", we can more easily put ourselves into the shoes of others, we are more empathetic. 3.Better leadership skills are developed Due to elevated compassion, workers view leaders more favorably, and combined with "authenticity and integrity", this trifecta of skills "improves retention and employee performance". 4. Resilience is developed and strengthened "When it comes to developing resilience, the regulation of emotions gives mature people an advantange over the young: 'There is a naturally learnable set of behaviors that contribute to resilience. Those are the behaviors that we gravitate to more and more as we age'." 5. Emotion regulation is easier which cultivates a calmer demeanor which leads to more effectiveness and better relationships "Our brains are driven to seek calmness as we age. Columnbia University social psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson claims that calmness is central to happiness . . . research has long established that calm leaders are more effective". Late bloomers naturally develop the skills necessary to find calmness if we choose to keep exploring, learning, listening and observing what works and what does not. This is where our curiosity helps tremendously leading us to the blooming stage of our lives that is authentic and unique to each of us. 6. Extensive insight "Our insights are the result of us drawing on our full mental library of experience, patterns, and context, yielding an idea of extraordinary value." Karlgaard explains that "the right hemisphere [of the brain] matures in childhood; the development of the left is consistent with the development of the prefrontal cortex, which is not fully mature until the mid-twenties". Due to the left-side's difference in development compared to the right, it takes time for us to see the connection of the awesome or unique events, sights and experiences of our lives and make sense of how we can utilize them in our unique way. 7. Navigation of life's ambiguity becomes easier "Perhaps this is the perfection defintion of wisdom: reasoning and cognition based on knowledge and experience". In other words, we are not born wise, but so long as we choose to be curious, continue to be life-long learners, we begin to build it. "Wisdom is the ability to see the layers of light that were harder to see when one was younger". And consequently, we have the opportunity to hone our intuition as to how to best navigate our journey even with the unknowns that are presented. 8. More easily determine what's important versus what's trivial To piggy-back onto #7, because we have acquired knowledge about the world over time and have made the conscious choice to continue to learn, we are then better at discern patterns faster and jump to logical solutions more quickly. 9. A desire to cut the apron strings with your parents "To fully bloom, we must declare our independence from our family. That doesn't mean we must reject their love . . . it means only that we must reach our own conclusions about what does and doesn't support our blooming." Creating a healthy culture in which to bloom is analogous to the proper soil and conditions for a plant to flourish. Each plant will need different types of soil, different amounts of sunshine and shade, varying temperatures - some extreme, some moderate, and it all depends on the plant. Unlike the saying, "bloom where you are planted", we should instead get out of the soil we have been planted in and explore to discover where we truly thrive. 10. Adult peer pressure is real, and if you've felt it and tried successfully or not to not succumb, you may be a late bloomer "Some of this [peer group] influence can be healthy and positive, as when we join a hiking club or sign up for a program to quit smoking. But not every peer push leads us to a better version of ourselves; not all communities support growth and positive change." To break free from our peer group, even when we don't know why it feels uncomfortable or wrong (but we know it does), is not easy and it takes great inner strength to do so. However, it does become easier because we eventually begin to feel more in tune with our true selves, we feel a burden lift, we feel our energy surge because we are no longer trying to be or do something that isn't truly in line with what we can offer the world. 11. Societal pressure to conform is limiting to our true potential "[Today's media] also promote cultural, racial or gender biases, either through stereotyping roles and behaviors, or under- or overrepresentation of minorities. And repeated exposure to media content can lead viewers to begin to accept media portrayals as representations of reality." From the media's portrayal of how to socially engage, what dating should look like, what children should be doing at certain ages based on their gender, the values are repeatedly shared and included in endless amounts of media such as video games, movies, television, newspapers, magazines, books and radio, and since it is a passive medium, unless we are critical thinkers questioning everything we receive, it is easy to accept what is applauded as normal and what we should adhere to regarding our life's journey. 12. Letting go of comparisons "Mass media ask us to compare our body shape, sex life, marriage, house, car, family and community to unattainable television versions of perfection. Social media ask us to compare our own commonplace or even boring reality against the curated accounts of how absoutely wonderful someone else's life is — people we know!" When we stop comparing and start celebrating, we liberate ourselves and enable the opportunity to observe our own awesomeness without the outside world's close-minded criticism or limited acceptance. The author shared something that I think is worth sharing here as a reminder that there are many paths to success, to reaching a goal, to attaining contentment. He writes, "There are always many ways to achieve a goal, gain expertise, or find success. In sports or music, they are easy to see . . . But it's not as easy to see multiple paths for success in most endeavors . . . [which leads to confusion. As a result,] we default to following norms and take the road everyone else is taking". And these paths to success have as much to do with professional "success" as well as personal "success". Your definition of a life of contentment, as I have said many times before on the blog and in my books, will most likely be very different than mine, but that doesn't mean we both cannot feel the contentment that is spoken about and written about that provides deep satisfaction and peace. It is important that we all recognize that each of us will bloom at a different time. "Each of us deserves the opportunity to bloom in our own way." When we do this there are many invaluable benefits: 1.We protect ourselves, and others we encourage to bloom, in our own time from the consequences of disappoitnment or failure. (this doesn't mean there won't be bumps along the way, but it reminds us that it takes time to understand where we are headed and why) 2.We learn how to work with self-doubt and let it be our superpower. "To bloom, we all must learn not to fear self-doubt but to embrace it as a normally occurring opportunity for growth and improved performance . . . The key to harnessesing self-doubt starts at the very core of our individual beliefs about ourselves . . . self-efficacy". 3. We strengthen our self-efficacy Self-efficacy is an individual's confidence in their ability to accomplish what they set out to do. 4. Obstacles begin to be seen as opportunities to grow rather than road-blocks "While you may feel a general sense of self-doubt . . . [you] proceed anyway". 5. Improved positive self-talk "Positive self-talk can improve our performance by helping us regulate our emotions, thoughts and energy". When we begin to see skill-sets that render positive results, we are more likely to invest in them. For example, positive self talk leads to more confidence, a strengthening our self-efficacy and thus improved performance with whatever task is in front of us. And so we continue to practice positive self-talk and it becomes stronger with this skill rendering more positive outcomes. 6. Stronger, healthier relationships When you bloom, gravitate toward those who celebrate your blooming, and for those who initially are not, give them a moment to understand why your blooming makes them uncomfortable. Depending upon the person, they may not realize that their discomfort with your growth is a reflection of their disappointment in what they feel they could have achieved but didn't. This is all about them. Some will grow from this and remain in your life, others will not, and you will need to move on. But all of the skills you have acquired and applied will help lead you toward building not only healthier relationships with others, but a healthier, less critical relationship with yourself. 7. Excellence will arrive when you let your curiosity take over "When [curiosity takes over], a sense of exploration also takes over. I get in the zone, and I go for it. I feel pulled, not pushed — pulled by a beautiful power I cannot explain." 8. The courage to repot when necessary "When it comes to repotting, late bloomers have a distinct advatnage over early bloomers. We're naturally curious and resilient. We're not afraid to follow a different path or break free of convention. We genuinely want to see what's around the corner or over the hill. These late bloomer strengths enable —even propel— the change we need to find the right people and the right place to help us thrive." Once you have a clearer understanding of who you are and what cultures and communities are best suited for you to bloom, you will have strengthened, as was mentioned above in the first list, an awesome skill set. This skill set will be your bedrock for being able to repot when and if it is necessary. "We need to give ourselves a break. We need to recognize and celebrate the fact that we're all different, with different skill sets, developmental profiles and backgrounds and that each of us will forge a different path toward blooming." Being a late bloomer is most certainly something to celebrate, and when we "change our story, we can change our behavior and even our life". Let me leave you with this lasting thought from the book that resonately powerfully with me: "If we're not forced to conform to standard timetables for success, we can —and will—bloom on our own schedules. And we can do it with a deeper sense of mission and a greater feeling of contentment. What we accomplish in the marathon of life depends on our persistence, our patience, and an ability to see ourselves as we really are. Our cultural obsession with youthful talent, with early achievement, distracts us from this simple truth. . . . our late bloomer power is different. It is the power to renounce what's supposed to happen in life and intead embrace what actually happens in life, with its ups and downs, twists and turns. It's the power to explore and experience, to be an individual. It's the power that comes with knowing and valuing ourselves."

We live in a world where we applaud kids that do amazing things at a young age, but Rich Karlgaard is not focused on those early achievers. Karlgaard is the publisher of Forbes Magazine and author of Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement and he wants to start a national dialog about why it's important to recognize that some people's prime comes a little later than others.. Late Bloomers begins with Karlgaard highlighting a 53-year-old woman named Joanne. When Joanne was in school, she was described as a "high-mediocre" student. Many professors do not remember Joanne but one professor described her as a student that would often stare off into space while in class. After attending school, Joanne got into a bad marriage, worked as a receptionist for a bit and went into a spiral of depression after her divorce. For a time, she was even on public assistance. But Karlgaard say Joanne is a great example of a late bloomer. "At age 35, while taking a train, Joanne, otherwise known as J.K. Rowling, dreamed up Harry Potter," says Karlgaard. Why do parents push so hard? If being a late bloomer is ok, then why do we see parents, coaches, and teachers push kids to be an early achiever? Karlgaard's theory is that the predominant rewards in society are coming from two industries, software, and high-end financial services. "I like to say Google and Goldman Sachs," says Karlgaard. "Now, these Google and Goldman Sachs, who do they look for in college grads? They look for college grads that have gone to most elite universities." This has created the idea that the greatest rewards go to those that attend elite universities and have the best test scores. Consequently, it leads to parents and educators pushing kids towards doing whatever it takes to get into the best universities. Karlgaard says his goal in writing Late Bloomers is to start a discussion about applying unneeded pressure on students that may just need more time. He's concerned that our current trajectory is causing financial indebtedness, anxiety, depression and sleep deprived kids. What we're getting wrong Karlgaard says we have a very narrow idea of what a K-12 education should be. "That it should be a conveyer belt and at the end of that conveyer belt it deposits these kids into the best possible colleges that they can get in to." Karlgaard acknowledges some kids are going to succeed on that conveyer belt. He knows some will get high test scores, and they'll manage the homework, and that's great. But he wants to make sure society understands that if kids are not succeeding, then "Plan B" is not to double down. "There's overwhelming research that the conveyer belt is missing more kids than it's hitting," say's Karlgaard. "Many kids, their talents, deepest passions, and purpose, are never going to be revealed on that conveyer belt." This is what motivated Karlgaard to spend five years researching and writing Late Bloomers. What can we do? If we see kids succeeding at an early age, by all means, we should applaud the success. But we also need to be sensitive to the signs of kids that rebelling against the current system. Karlgaard says to watch for kids... Mentally dropping outRetreating to the basement and playing video gamesClinical anxiety or depression Dropping out school It use to be much easier to be a late bloomer, says Karlgaard. We didn't have social media, where kids compare themselves to the curated versions of other kids. Karlgaard says educators success should not be measured by how many kids you get into Havard. "Success is measured 20-30 years down the road when you see your students are well functioning, healthy, happy, fulfilled contributors to their families and society."
