Dave Stachowiak and Bonni share lessons from the Teaching in Higher Ed Story Caravan on episode 538 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Philosophy Professor Peter Boghossian notoriously claimed that “faith is a cognitive sickness that's been turned into a moral virtue.” He went on to say that every class is an opportunity to help students lose their faith. When the instructors our kids sit under in higher education come in with an agenda like that, Gen Z's sharp exodus from the faith makes sense. A child would have to be well prepared to withstand that kind of onslaught to their faith. In this episode of "Christian Parent, Crazy World," Catherine delves into the critical question of how higher education is leading Christian kids away from their faith. Her special guest, David Richardson, brings a unique perspective on the landscape of higher education. With over 32 years of experience working with college and university professors, Dave sheds light on the challenges faced by Christian youth in academic settings. Dave's journey from atheist student to faith in Christ provides a powerful testimony of God's transformative work on college campuses. His insights into the beliefs and attitudes of professors shed light on the disconnect between faith and academia. Catherine and Dave explore the impact of higher education on the youth exodus from Christianity and the role of Christian parents in navigating this challenging terrain. The conversation delves into the importance of connecting faith to real-world issues and the need for Christians to live out their beliefs authentically. Hypocrisy and the lack of a tangible connection between God and academic disciplines are identified as key concerns for atheist and agnostic professors. The episode highlights the historical roots of the formalized discipline of science in Western Christian culture and the role of faith in shaping scientific inquiry. The discussion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of core assumptions that influence belief systems in the next episode. As parents grapple with the decision to send their children to secular institutions, Catherine and Dave offer valuable insights into understanding the challenges faced by Christian youth in higher education. By addressing the disconnect between faith and academia, this episode aims to equip parents with the knowledge and tools to support their children's faith journey in an increasingly secular world. Guest bio: David Richardson is the founder of the Assumptions Institute and its Chief Executive Officer. Prior to founding the Assumptions Institute, Richardson served for 30 years on the staff of Cru, formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ, devoting most of his ministry to university professors. He holds a B.A. degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Portland, and an M.A. degree in Theological Studies from the International School of Theology. Richardson also holds an MTh. degree in Applied Theology from the University of Oxford. His dissertation, “Accepting Christian Faith in the Academy” was an important exploratory study of the religious attitudes and beliefs of university professors and how to reach them for Christ. He understands education and educators very well. Richardson's first book, Transparent: How to See Through the Powerful Assumptions That Control You released from Clovercroft Publishing.   EPISODE RESOURCES & LINKS: Civil Air Patrol (CAP) 5 Views on Apologetics , Steven B.

On Thursday morning, nearly 3,000 educators and staff at the Oakland Unified School District went on strike in a push for higher wages and better resources. The union and the district have not had an active contract since the last one expired in October. This marks the third walkout this year and the second official strike since 2019. Guest: Erin Baldassari, KQED reporter This episode was produced by Alan Montecillo and Maria Esquinca, and hosted by Ericka Cruz Guevarra.

Nate Gowdy had previously photographed 30 Donald Trump rallies. He thought he was fully prepared for what should have been the grand finale, but the events that unfolded on January 6th, 2021, were more than anyone could have expected.  As the event transformed from protest to outright insurrection, Gowdy never stopped photographing. The result is his first monograph, Insurrection — a comprehensive yet intimate account of the events of that fateful day. The 150-page book moves readers through the day in timestamped, chronological order, bringing them a firsthand account of not just the attack on the U.S. Capitol, but what it was like to be a journalist on the front lines. Juxtaposed are scenes of domestic terrorists kneeling and praying, posing for group photos, eating hotdogs, rampaging against the Capitol's sworn protectors, and defiling the Inauguration Day stand, historically reserved for the stately pomp and circumstance of our representative government. On assignment for Rolling Stone, Gowdy was deemed “fake news” and assaulted twice for having professional cameras. Gowdy joins us in the Wyncote NW Forum to share more about that historic day in January. Nate Gowdy captures the complexities of American politics with striking clarity. Since chronicling Washington state's fight for marriage equality in 2012, he has traveled the US to photograph pivotal events, figures, and movements across the political divide. His images have been featured in Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, PBS NewsHour, Thom Hartmann, CNN, and TIME, where his Bernie Sanders portrait graced the cover in 2016. As a co-founder of The American Superhero Project and co-author of Our Students, Their Stories, a book celebrating Seattle Public Schools' LGBTQIA+ students, families, and staff, Gowdy is committed to elevating underrepresented voices. He serves as the official photographer for Seattle Pride, and his documentary fine art is represented at Monroe Gallery in Santa Fe. INSURRECTION

Children are always going to misbehave, teacher Daniel Buck says, and that's why discipline is needed in the classroom."I think the idea that we're going to solve misbehavior is kind of Utopian," Buck says, adding that is "what the progressive idea is.""If we just get the system right, then kids are going to behave. And that's never going to happen," he says. Instead, Buck advocates for a strong disciplinary "system in place that anticipates and responds to misbehavior."The lack of such discipline in the classroom is leading some teachers to resign and harming students' ability to learn, says Buck, the author of “What Is Wrong With Our Schools?: The Ideology Impoverishing Education in America and How We Can Do Better for Our Students." The book was published in December.Buck joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain how the agenda of the woke Left has led to a lack of discipline in American classrooms, and why a restoration of discipline would improve learning outcomes for students.Enjoy the show!

Thank you, loyal listeners, for joining us each week! You may have noticed that there was no episode in the queue last week. Never fear; we have no intention of giving up on the podcast! But with some changes to responsibilities for two of us this year, we are having a harder and harder time getting all three of us into the studio together to record a weekly episode. So we are planning to shift to an every-other-week schedule for the foreseeable future. We hope you'll continue to join us for each new episode when they drop. We love recording and sharing our conversations with you all, and if our schedules ever line up better again, perhaps we'll go back to every week–who knows? :-) This week's episode came from a swirl of several convergent streams–a quote from a book about assessment that Abby read, a question from a listener (thanks, Jess!) about assessment practices prompted by something she read on the CACE blog, and challenges we have faced in our own practices regarding assessment. With this kind of confluence, we felt a tug to think together around the topic of assessment, and share some of our experiences and adventures in reimagining what assessment is, and what it is for, and how we try to assess our students' learning. It's a ranging, rambling conversation, but we hope you'll be encouraged and inspired to think through your own assessment practices by listening in. Here is the article from the CACE blog mentioned by our listener, Jess. We highly recommend you read it! Its title raises the key question it seeks to answer: “What If Assessment Was a Gift?” You can read it here: https://cace.org/what-if-assessment-was-a-gift/  In this episode, we also discuss an article by Elaine Brouwer entitled “Assessment For Learning: A Blessing for Our Students,” which is available in this issue of Christian Educators Journal: https://www.cejonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/47-2.pdf  In the episode, Abby mentions an idea for engaging students in reflection even right before taking a test as a way of building community and reducing anxiety. The idea was in a video by math educator Howie Hua. You can view that video on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/howie_hua/status/1570194591227473921 

How do we know if our children are digesting what we're teaching? We give them assessments! And if you've ever stepped into a traditional classroom in the U.S., this could mean many things. Often it means large, summative assessments at the end of a unit or school year to determine what the students have retained.   Sadly, this type of assessment is ineffective, for more reasons than I can begin to explain. But I sure try in this episode!    There are many ways to assess student learning, aside from the traditional test. And traditional summative assessments only test a student's ability to memorize information for the short term. What happens when they need to remember information long-term and apply it in different scenarios?   I'm sharing my thoughts and more.

Here we are again... With the Omicron variant spreading like wildfire, COVID-19 cases around the country have shattered previous highs. The federal government has essentially given up on trying to fight the virus and a familiar ghoulish chorus of media pundits and wealthy business executives are berating working people to suck it up and put themselves in harm's way for the sake of the economy. What's worse, workers who are standing up for themselves are being viciously vilified and scapegoated for the systemic failures that have put us in this mess.  Perhaps no group is facing more backlash right now than educators. Earlier this week, nearly 3/4 of the membership of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) voted to return to virtual work until a deal to implement necessary safety measures is reached with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) or until the city's positivity rate falls below 10 percent. In response, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the CPS administration have locked educators out of their virtual classrooms, replaying their actions from last year when COVID cases were surging and teachers were locked out of their employee accounts and had their pay docked if they refused to return from teaching remotely. In this urgent, unscheduled mini-cast, we talk about the lockout with Ana, a CPS teacher and CTU member, and Quetzalli Castro, a CPS teacher and a delegate and organizer within the CTU.   Additional links/info below...

Our Students discuss the year 2021 and their excitement for 2022. Thank you to everyone who was a part of it.

The pandemic has impacted us all. Financially, emotionally, physically, and in ways that we probably haven't realized yet. We've also watched our kiddos struggle, both at home and at school. It's time to think of our kids' brains as more than a vessel to store the information we're throwing at them. They're more prone to depression and anxiety than we may realize. On this episode, we're exploring how our kids are handling the pandemic and its aftermath (not well) and what we, as educators, “safe adults,” and parents can do to support them. I give you three suggestions on how we can lessen the pressure that our youth are feeling and spotlight the amazing progress that one Colorado school has made.   Jump in the Conversation: [2:17] Pandemic statistics on mental health [4:00] How children's brains and mental health have changed during the pandemic [5:43] Three suggestions for how we can lessen the toll of the pandemic [6:01] Psychological Safety [9:03] Creating Stability [10:43] Safe Adult or Champion   Links Episode 73: Breaking Barriers for Our Students and Our Future with Stanley Litow Episode 72: Bringing Psychological Safety to Our Teachers EdActive Collective Back to Class, How Schools Can Rebound series CDC mental health statistics National Institute of Mental Health pandemic statistics Furfaro's Education Lab articles Seattle Times article: Scientists are racing to uncover the pandemic's toll on kids' brains LEADPrep five-point scale template The Hechinger Report: When kids pick their ‘trusted adult,' it pays off Rita Pierson's TED: Every Kid Needs a Champion Email Maureen Maureen's TEDx talk: Changing My Mind to Change Our Schools The Education Evolution Facebook: Follow Education Evolution Twitter: Follow Education Evolution LinkedIn: Follow Education Evolution Maureen's book: Creating Micro-Schools for Colorful Mismatched Kids Micro-school feature on Good Morning America The Micro-School Coalition Facebook: The Micro-School Coalition LEADPrep

EPISODE 42 Most teachers that I know fantasized about being teachers from a very young age. I'm sure I'm not the only one who envisioned what my future classroom would look like or the successes my students would have due to my hard work and attention. My guest on today's episode, Pernille Ripp, was disappointed to find that the current education system made it difficult for her to fulfill her dreams and provide students with authentic reading experiences. Instead of being complacent, Pernille decided to focus on two important areas of teaching: engagement and empowerment. What started as a blog ended up having an impact not only in her classroom but around the world. Her program started as an idea to increase engagement in reading but it has transformed into something much more, teaching skills such as empathy. The empowerment of Global Read Aloud fosters connectivity amongst people, which has never been more important than it is today. Pernille Ripp is a seventh grade teacher in Wisconsin and the creator of the Global Read Aloud (www.theglobalreadaloud.com), a literacy initiative that has connected more than 2,000,000 students since 2010 through the use of technology. She speaks internationally and writes regularly on her blog (www.pernillesripp.com). She is also author of several books including Passionate Readers - The Art of Reaching and Engaging Every Child and Passionate Learners: Giving Our Classrooms Back to Our Students   In this episode we discuss: -The background behind Pernille Ripp's journey as an educator -How to give students more authentic reading experiences -What Global Read Aloud is and why it was started -The impact Global Read Aloud has on student's perspective outside the classroom   Resources Mentioned: -The Global Read Aloud -The Global Read Aloud Facebook Group -Passionate Readers Book Facebook Group -Pernille's Website   For more resources, head to the show notes: stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode42   Connect with me: -Join my newsletter -My TPT store -stellarteachercompany.com -Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany -Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company

In episode 162 of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes Northeast president, Dr. Ricky G. Ford, to the podcast as Kollmeyer and Ford sit down to discuss a variety of topics that are happening at the college. This week's episode marks 59 straight weeks for Ford as the president steps to the forefront to talk about everything Northeast Mississippi Community College. Ford's topic for this week is, "What is Best for Our Students," and he talks about the COVID-19, advising, InService, the first day of school, the return of students, and how everyone has pitched in around campus. Ford discusses the ongoing COVID crisis with daily cases above 4,000 and the beginning of the Fall 2021 semester at Northeast. Ford talks about the Safe to Return Guide, which details the return to traditional classes and other important information concerning the coronavirus. Ford emphasizes the point that ALL employees and students need to fill out the screening form each morning to help Northeast stay safe and in class, all semester and the veteran educator talks about the temporary mask mandate that was put in earlier this week that addresses the need for masks in all indoor spaces on the college's campus in each of its five-counties -- Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo, and Union. Ford talks about students returning to campus such as the football team, cheerleaders, and the Showband from Tigerland, and how each group is doing its part in making the upcoming fall semester a success. Ford talks about capacity limits at the football stadium and other places around campus and how that will be communicated to employees, students, and community members. Taking from his InService speech, Ford discusses the college's Quality Enhancement Program - Advising and how everyone has stepped up to make Northeast one of the top community colleges in the country. 

Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective. In anticipation of the new season, we are counting down the top 5 most listened to episodes. Today we revisit episode 004, Rich Dugan and I talk about our evolving relationship with the Bible - how we've fallen in and out of love with it and then back in again, and resources that have helped us get the most out of the Bible.

Today on the podcast we’re joined by Arlène Casimir and Alex Venet as they discuss the ethos of trauma informed teaching practices. They explore the community building power of trauma informed teaching, common misunderstandings, and how to start the work with ourselves. Both Arlène and Alex are educators and authors with vast backgrounds in healing-centered education. They recently co-wrote a piece called Slowing Down for Ourselves and Our Students on the Heinemann Blog, which we invite you to read. Arlene and Alex began their conversation by examining the value and necessity of slowing down…Follow Arlène and Alex on Twitter @ArleneCasimir and @AlexSVenet

In the coming weeks, Pastor Dave will be leading us through 8 different ways of engaging with the Word of God based on the book How We Read the Bible: 8 Ways to Engage the Bible with Our Students by Matt Laidlaw. But before we get there, we'll take a look at why a commitment to the word of God is so important by taking a look at Psalm 1.

Hey seniors...this is just a small tribute to you, OUR STUDENTS! We miss you. We never imagined that March 13th would be the last time we could have you in our classrooms and our hallways. We didn't get a chance to say goodbye, to pass on advice, to share a favorite quote, or simply just to chat. So, this one is for you. Don't be a stranger. Come by THS anytime. You will always hold a special spot in our hearts. We love you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-horner/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mark-horner/support

Elama Dzanic joins Angelia and Mary to continue the conversation around school safety. Elma champions the idea that the level of connectedness our students feel to our school communities,  both emotionally and socially, is just as important as a student’s academic success. She emphasizes that it is the the authentic relationships created among and between students and adults in a school community that develops safety and security. Elma calls upon us to assess our own biases and to hold space for challenging topics in our classrooms. Listen in to hear some of Elma’s experiences as she provides us knowledge and expertise on how to bring about the dialogue that every child needs to feel safe and secure within their school community.
