Engage to support our work.Devin: What is your superpower?Jim: Well, it is, as I've been told, taking a lot of information from technical, complex areas and figuring out how to merge it together.Sustainability and energy efficiency are at the forefront of Jim Kumon's latest project in Minneapolis. This innovative development combines passive house technology with thoughtful design to reduce energy consumption dramatically while maintaining comfort and functionality. With two duplex units meeting passive house standards and a third unit adhering to Zero Energy Ready Home guidelines, Jim's approach represents a significant step forward in environmentally conscious housing.“Passive house is about thermal control, air control, and radiation control,” Jim explained. These principles translate into features like triple-pane windows, superior insulation, and advanced air circulation systems, ensuring both comfort and energy savings. The results are impressive: a 73% improvement in energy efficiency over current building codes, with even greater advantages compared to older homes.Jim emphasized the broader impact of these improvements. “Reducing operational energy is a big thing,” he said, highlighting the project's potential to lower carbon emissions and enhance residents' health through cleaner building materials. This focus on sustainability extends to the choice of non-toxic materials, aiming to create a healthier indoor environment.Beyond its technical merits, the project offers practical benefits for future residents. Lower utility costs and modern amenities make the property attractive to renters and potential owner-occupants. Its family-friendly design and desirable location further enhance its appeal.The project also provides an opportunity for community members to participate directly through regulated investment crowdfunding. “We're raising capital on Small Change,” Jim shared, inviting impact-driven investors to join the effort. Interested individuals can learn more at s4g.biz/air.This initiative exemplifies how thoughtful design and community-driven funding can address environmental challenges while delivering tangible benefits to people and neighborhoods.tl;dr:* Today's episode highlights a passive house project that reduces energy use by over 70%.* Jim Kumon discusses designing family-friendly, sustainable housing in Minneapolis.* The project integrates advanced technology and health-conscious materials for a better living environment.* Jim shares how collaboration is key to addressing complex development challenges.* Investors can support this initiative via regulated crowdfunding on Small Change.How to Develop Integrative Problem Solving As a SuperpowerJim describes his superpower as “taking a lot of information from technical, complex areas and figuring out how to merge it together.” His background in architecture, construction, housing policy, and economic development enables him to address challenges holistically. “The question really is, how do we get to yes?” he noted, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and creative problem-solving to achieve shared goals.Jim recounted an instance where technical and financial hurdles threatened a project. By focusing on collaboration, he brought stakeholders together to leverage their strengths and address weaknesses. “At the end of the day, it was about people thinking collaboratively,” he shared, demonstrating how collective efforts can overcome obstacles and create impactful solutions.Tips for developing this superpower:* Build Multidisciplinary Knowledge: Learn about diverse fields to see connections others might miss.* Foster Collaboration: Engage with stakeholders to combine strengths and address challenges holistically.* Focus on Common Goals: Identify shared values to build consensus and drive collective action.* Stay Resilient and Adaptive: Persist through bureaucratic or systemic hurdles by creatively addressing barriers.Conclusion: By following Jim's example and advice, you can make integrative problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Kerre Woodham: Education shouldn't be left up to chance

Now we've known for some time that New Zealand's once world class education system is no longer – that it is failing. And I really, really feel for the teachers. Education has been hijacked by ideologues who want children to share their world view and care little for the fact that our kids have no idea how to spell world or view. Our literacy is bad, our numeracy is even worse. According to international studies, we are now one of the least numerate countries in the developed world. In the 2019 Trends and International Maths and Science study, New Zealand's 9-year-olds, the Year 5s, ranked 40th out of 64 countries. Year 9s were even worse - their scores fell by the largest margin since the study began in 1994. Māori and Pasifika students ranked lowest of all. In 2021, a report published in New Zealand by the Royal Society of Mathematics Advisory Panel, which advised the Education Ministry, noted that 1/4 of preschoolers cannot count from 1-10. That's not on the ideological educators at the ministry, that's not on teachers, that is on parents. By Year 9, fewer than one tenth of students are working at their age-appropriate level. Massey University Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Gaven Martin described maths education in this country as a “goddamn mess”. Families with money or access to money or the desperation to find money from somewhere, anywhere, have been sending their kids to after school tutoring. The NumberWorks'nWords franchises and the Kip McGraths that you'll see around the country. One parent in a New Zealand Herald story from 2021 said if you have the money, the kids go to Kumon, which is a another one of those franchises, or NumberWorks, two to three times a week. It's like a form of wealth separation, he said, as only the wealthier families can afford it. And at around about $700 a term, they're right. The wealthy families will do it, but they seldom talk about it. The other kids just languish in the school system and remain at the bottom of the class. And so the gap between the haves and the have-nots gets wider and wider and wider. Now the Government has announced a form of after school maths tuition, but actually in school, and free. They're starting with intermediate students in terms 1 and 2 next year – around 2000 Year 7 and 8 students who are behind in their learning will take part in an intensive support program to bring them up to the required curriculum level in maths. The trial will use small group tutoring and supervised online tuition for 30 minutes, up to four times a week for each child. Basically, your Kip McGraths, Your NumberWorks, and what have you. There will be $30 million for high quality curriculum aligned workbooks, teacher guidance and lesson plans to be provided into every primary and intermediate School, $20 million for professional development and structured maths for teachers as well as (hip hip hooray) getting the Teaching Council to agree to lift maths entry requirements for new teachers. Education Minister Erica Stanford spoke to Heather du Plessis-Allan last night, saying intensive tutoring is one of the best things you can do if you're behind in maths. “We know that all of the international evidence tells us that if you are really far behind, especially in mathematics, one of the best interventions you can do is intensive tutoring in small groups to get up to where you need to be. Because a lot of our students have missed big chunks of their learning and mathematics, and we are particularly targeting those in Year 7 and 8 who are not going to see all of the benefits of our amazing new curriculum and all of our new materials and they're going to go off into high school and, you know, not be where they need to be. So we've had reading interventions in the past, we've never had one for maths, and my intention is that we put this trial up, see what it does and then roll it out.” Yes, yes, yes, yes and more yes! We know the tutoring works. Anyone who has sent their child to one of the expensive but efficient after school tuition programs knows that it works. You've got that one-on-one – and I'm quite sure that our teachers, if they had one-on-one time sufficiently with kids who were falling behind, would be able to raise them up as well, but they simply do not have the time or the resources. Now they will. To be fair to the previous administration, they understood that education was failing our children, they were not getting the education they deserved. The gap between the haves and the have nots, those who could and those who couldn't, was getting wider and wider and wider. In fact, I think we managed to top one aspect of the Trends in Science and Maths by having the biggest gap between those who were succeeding and those who were not. The vast majority of parents cannot afford that kind of one-on-one tuition, but we had Labour tinkering with the curriculum and bringing into Te Ao Māori into maths and science, and it was all very localised and communities could kind of pick and choose how they wanted to teach, with no resources teachers were left floundering as well. They basically had to do the work of the many thousands of bureaucrats and the Ministry of Education and come up with a curriculum. As Professor Elizabeth Rata at Auckland University said, the draft of the new curriculum, as devised by Labour, was a national disgrace. It's a curriculum without content, it's an ideological manifesto. Children in the Far North should receive the same education as children in the far south. It should not be left to chance. And that's what happened. That's exactly what has been happening now. We've got an Education Minister who is a) passionate about giving our children what they deserve and b) has ideas about how to make it happen. It shouldn't be left to chance, as Professor Rata says, it shouldn't be left to teachers to come up with some kind of vague curriculum which they have precious little time to do. And it shouldn't be left to parents to find $700 a term to shore up the gaps in our education system. It shouldn't be that those who can and those who have are able to circumvent our education system and be better and do better, leaving the others languishing. That is not the way we make a better New Zealand. That is not the way we make a productive of New Zealand and that's not the way we make a New Zealand that gives every child the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

This week I am joined by the delightful Sensei Miwako, founder of JAMS, to talk about maths and, more specifically, why the Abacus method can help children overcome their "math struggle".JAMS is the only math school in the Portland and Beaverton area certified by the League for Soroban Abacus. They use the teachings of Abacus & Anzan instruction to build a solid and strong foundation of mental mathematics with lifelong skills. She's also the founder of abacus online, (because there are only soo many people you can reach when you do face to face classes.)Miwako has over 2 decades of abacus teaching experience and is the most enthusiastic advocate for better math education that you will ever come across!We talk about many things including;Why children struggle when though math in schools.Why teaching kids "the concept of math", as most schools do, simply won't work.The difference between Kumon and the abacus method.The purpose of a school should not just be to help your child pass an exam.Why some children "shut down" when they don't understand something.How the abacus method teaches a life-skill.Why math is actually  simple if you just break it down properly.That EVERY SINGLE CHILD can "get good at math" and that it doesn't need to cost you a fortune in education and tutoring.And so much more.Miwako is a delight. I absolutely LOVE talking to people that genuinely have an interest in helping people and am completely on board with her idea that the way schools teach math (all disjointed and how it's all about "showing your workings" rather than knowing the answer) is a killer for most kids and puts people off math more than it helps anyone.Definitely check out her website if your child, or yourself, want access to a dead-easy way to improve your math skills.Just a  reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.
