In this episode of The Wired Educator Podcast, I interview Ross Cooper and Erin Murphy about their brand new book titled Project Based Learning: Real Questions. Real Answers. How to Unpack PBL an Inquiry. If there's one thing that teaching during a pandemic has emphasized it's the need for inquiry and better student involvement. So many teachers have reported lack of engagement in remote learning. I think project-based learning is the future of school and a method of instruction that every educator should explore and apply. No matter where you are on the spectrum with project-based learning, you will appreciate and benefit from hearing from Ross and Erin.  Ross Cooper is currently an administrator in the Chappaqua Central School District. Previously, he was an Elementary School Principal, K-12 curriculum supervisor, Elementary Assistant Principal, and fourth grade teacher. He is an Apple Distinguished Educator and a Google Certified Innovator. As a nationally recognized leader in project based learning, he has worked with thousands of educators across the country to implement PBL, and in 2016 he coauthored Hacking Project Based Learning: 10 Easy Steps to PBL and Inquiry in the Classroom. While his day job is his first professional priority, he finds time to conduct workshops and speak on project based learning, inquiry-based learning, student-centered learning, instructional leadership, his professional experiences, and more. When he is not working, he enjoys eating steak and pizza and provoking his four beautiful nephews and niece. He blogs at rosscoop31.com, and you can connect with him via email, RossCoops31@gmail.com, and on Twitter @RossCoops31.  Erin Murphy currently has the pleasure of serving as the Supervisor of Teaching & Learning for the Humanities subjects in the East Penn School District. She spent four years as a Middle School Assistant Principal and has classroom experiences ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade. She is a proud graduate of Penn State University's Professional Development School, where she was trained in inquiry-based instructional approaches. Erin is coauthor of Hacking Project Based Learning: 10 Easy Steps to PBL and Inquiry in the Classroom (2016), and she consults internationally with leaders and learners regarding literacy, learning, and leadership. Erin, her husband, and her two daughters reside in Pennsylvania, and the family enjoys spending time gardening, watching football, and playing board games. You can connect with Erin through her blog, psumurphette.com, via email at psumurphette@gmail.com, and on Twitter @MurphysMusings5.

Our final episode of Black History Month features Erica Jones, Middle School Assistant Principal at The American School in London, England. In a discussion that directly correlates to Black history and the Black experience, Erica talks to us about why creating a curriculum that speaks to the depth of Black history is of major importance to her, and how she works to amplify those students whom the system does not always serve. Erica talks to us about the dangers of performative allyship, and the ways in which it shows up, and ends our conversation through quoting and paying tribute to the Black historical figures in her life that have helped her to find her real true love: herself.

Middle school can be a tumultuous time. This is the time when social priorities outweigh academic ones. Sadly, students who form negative opinions of math and science often retain those biases – permanently. This is what we don't want for our S.T.E.M fields which are ever so changing and much-needed career paths that need these students.  For minority students, it's even more of a fall-off.  By the time students reach high school, many view science as “uninteresting, unimportant, and irrelevant to their lives.” But programs, career mentoring, parent involvement, and guidance in middle school can significantly help “connect the dots” between STEM and real-life making science and math feel relevant for kids.  Dr. Odell Glenn talks with Mr. Johnathan Moore, who currently serves as a middle school assistant principal. Mr. Johnathan Moore holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Health and a Master in School Administration.  He discusses both majors and why he chose to change.  We also discuss why middle school is so crucial to succeeding in the sciences later on.  It takes the parent, the guidance counselor, the science and math teacher at the school to have knowledge on how to best navigate the child towards a clear pathway into a STEM high school.  Proper background courses in junior high school and high school could lead to college credit through AP courses later on.

On this first sports podcast of their local tour, Leonard (ICT Integration) and Youngman (Athletics Director of SWIS) were joined by two local celebrities (in their own minds) from Shekou International School Carlos Galvez and Nathan Lil. The podcast mainly focuses on the mens' passion for sports, the reasons behind this and their backgrounds in many different sports.
