Transformative Leadership Conversations with Winnie da Silva
“In higher education, success can't always be measured in numbers. Leaders are shaping something far more enduring: global citizens who will contribute to the world.” - Winnie da SilvaWhat happens when the very institutions built to shape future leaders are suddenly shaken to the core? Higher education is facing pressures unlike anything we've seen before - political battles, the rise of generative AI, ongoing questions of safety, and cultural divides that threaten its very purpose. The truth is, these challenges don't just affect universities; they mirror the pressures leaders everywhere are up against. So what can we learn from the people leading in higher ed right now?You'll hear me discuss:Why higher education has become such a critical and contested space in our country's futureHow generative AI is raising new questions about the very purpose of learningThe impact of campus safety concerns and the rise of school violence on students' sense of belongingThe erosion of healthy debate and why academic freedom matters more than everThe political attacks shaping what can and cannot be taught in classroomsFour big leadership lessons I've seen firsthand from working with presidents, professors, and their teamsA preview of the three incredible guests joining me this month to share their own journeys and insightsResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube I Email - winnie@winnifred.orgStudies referenced:Americans' Confidence in Higher Education Down SharplyHow to Save the American UniversityStudents Hate Them.

A teacher asked us a fair question: “If direct instruction and practice are working, why change?While presenting at a recent conference, we were approached by a teacher with a very honest question:“I've been using direct instruction and structured practice with great success. My students are doing well. What reason do I have to change?”In this episode, we unpack how we responded and why it's not about replacing what's working—but expanding what's possible. We explore how a balanced approach to math instruction includes explicit teaching, purposeful practice, rich tasks, and number talks—and how each of these elements can strengthen one another when used intentionally.Tune in to hear why this isn't a debate between approaches—it's about building a robust math experience where students can develop fluency, flexibility, and deep conceptual understanding.You'll discover:Why direct instruction and rich tasks in math class are not opposing strategiesHow to integrate number talks, purposeful practice, and inquiry-based learningThe risks of relying solely on one method of instructionHow balance creates opportunities for students to reason, communicate, and make connectionsPractical suggestions for teachers ready to evolve without discarding what already worksNot sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

This week, we return to nuclear power. Specifically, nuclear construction and “learning curves.” It is intuitive that doing something over and over makes you better at it. In industry, this means driving down costs and timelines and boosting efficiencies. In many industries, the truth of learning curves is readily apparent. However, in Western nuclear construction it has been largely absent for decades. Robbie Stewart, CTO of Alva Energy, joins me to dissect why the nuclear industry struggles with what other industries take for granted, and highlight a few cases in nuclear that managed to buck this trend. From France's standardized reactor fleet to China's recent AP1000 acceleration, we explore the prerequisites for nuclear construction learning and why it takes more than just good engineering.We discuss:Wright's Law and its application (or misapplication) to nuclear constructionWhy nuclear is fundamentally different from factory-floor manufacturingThe three categories of nuclear learning: fixing mismanagement, technology insertion, and construction optimizationStatistical analysis of what drives successful learning rates in nuclear programsFrance's P4 series and South Korea's OPR-1000 as learning success storiesChina's dramatic improvements in AP1000 construction times through supply chain masteryThe critical role of integrated project management and utility ownershipPrerequisites for learning: standardized design, sequential builds, and institutional commitmentWhy inter-site learning is harder than intra-site learningThe developer model as a potential solution for geographic learning constraintsOntario's SMR program as a test case for modern nuclear learningRead extended shownotes on Substack

In an era where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized how we approach education and learning. One of the most innovative applications of AI in the realm of children's education is the development of the Teddy AI smartwatch from WatchOut Wearables designed specifically for kids. These smartwatches not only prioritize safety and connectivity but also foster curiosity and learning through interactive features that engage young minds.AI Smartwatch Enhances Kids' LearningThe concept of the Teddy AI smartwatch for kids is rooted in addressing the common challenges parents face when it comes to their children's incessant questions about the world around them. Children are naturally inquisitive, often asking questions that may stump even the most knowledgeable adults. For instance, questions like "Why is the sky blue?" or "Why do dogs bark at my car?" can leave parents searching for answers. The AI smartwatch, aptly named "Teddy, acts as a miniaturized assistant, allowing children to pose their questions directly to the device. This not only provides immediate answers but also encourages a sense of independence and exploration in learning.Answering the Difficult QuestionsOne of the standout features of this smartwatch is its ability to recognize objects and provide information about them. Children can scan everyday items, such as a bottle or a flower, and the watch will respond with relevant information. This interactive capability transforms mundane experiences into learning opportunities, enabling children to understand their environment better. For instance, if a child encounters a butterfly in the garden, they can simply ask the watch about it, fostering a connection to nature while simultaneously learning new facts.Furthermore, the smartwatch supports language learning, offering the ability to learn how to say words in up to 20 different languages. This feature is particularly beneficial in our increasingly globalized world, where multilingualism is an asset. By allowing children to learn languages interactively, Teddy makes the process enjoyable and engaging. For example, a child can learn to count to ten in Spanish while playing outside, seamlessly integrating language learning into their daily activities.Safety and SecuritySafety features are also paramount in the design of the AI smartwatch. Equipped with GPS tracking, an SOS emergency button, and the ability to make calls and video calls, the smartwatch ensures that parents can stay connected with their children at all times. This connectivity not only provides peace of mind for parents but also allows children to feel secure as they explore their surroundings and engage in learning experiences.Teddy is designed to be lightweight and portable, making it an ideal companion for children on the go. Unlike traditional learning tools that may be bulky or stationary, this smartwatch empowers kids to learn wherever they are-whether in a park, at home, or on a family outing. The convenience of having an AI assistant on their wrist means that children can inquire about their surroundings and expand their knowledge in real-time.In addition to its educational features, the AI smartwatch also incorporates health monitoring capabilities, such as a heart rate monitor, which is not commonly found in other children's smartwatches. This holistic approach to a child's well-being-encompassing safety, education, and health-makes the smartwatch a valuable tool for parents looking to support their child's development in multiple dimensions.Conclusion: A Watch to Help With EducationIn conclusion, Teddy by WatchOut Wearables represents a significant advancement in educational technology. By combining safety, connectivity, and interactive learning, it enhances children's curiosity and knowledge acquisition in a fun and engaging manner. As children interact with their environment and seek answers to their questions, they are not only learning but also developing critical thinking skills and a love for exploration. This innovative device paves the way for a future where learning is seamlessly integrated into everyday life, making education an exciting adventure for children everywhere.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.
