There never was a reading war. A war assumes there are two armies meeting on a field of battle. This didn't happen. But there was a reading coup. There was a hostile takeover of the field of literacy instruction by profiteers who saw public education as their own private ATM machine. This group of profiteers is part of the educational industrial complex which includes Cambium-Lexia Learning, Pearson Education, Cengage Learning, Hough Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill Education, Voyager Sopris Learning, TAL Education Group, Bright Horizons, and KinderCare Learning. Their armies of well-paid toadies (consultants) promise schools simple solutions to complex problems. “Just buy our shiny new products,” they say. “Pay for our services,” they say. “Get trained by our experts,” they say, “and all your literacy problems will go away. All your students will be reading above grade level.”“Well, I don't know,” the school says. “That's a lot of money.” “Look,” they say, “look at all the colorful charts and graphs. Look at all the pretty, pretty numbers.”“Well,” the school says, “you do have numbers. That must mean it's real.” “Wouldn't you like to have colorful charts and graphs like this? Wouldn't you like to have pretty, pretty numbers?”“Yes,” the school says. “Yes, I would.”And that, my friends, is how education lost its soul.

If you can blame students, teachers, and colleges of education, we won't see the social problems that impact learning. It's much easier to blame teachers than to fix the actual cause of social problems. However, there is one thing of which we can be certain: If Cengage Learning, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill Education, Pearson Education, and Scholastic could sell products to fix one of these social problems, that problem would be the cause of the next educational crisis.

Should we fear AI, or use this tool to live in a better way?It is often those things that we know the least about that we fear the most. There has been a lot circulating in the news and political circles in recent weeks and months about “slowing the progression” of artificial intelligence technology. Is this the correct response? Are we even asking the right questions? It is a general tendency for us as humans to fear that which we don't understand. This is not only true with people who differ from us, but history has proven time and time again that new innovations often meet with great resistance. Could it be that there are some looking to capitalize on others' hesitation to embrace such innovations? My guest this week believes that AI presents “the biggest opportunities of our generation”. What if we could experience personal and professional, exponential growth backed by science and artificial intelligence?

“There have been Black people in the UK at least 2,000 years ago, to Roman times…” Mr. Tony Warner London, England Author, Educator, Entrepreneur “We didn't learn any African history before slavery, we learned about slavery as if that's where Black history began.” What does it mean to bring history to life? Today's guest Mr. Tony Warner is the author of Black History Walks in London Volume 1 produced by the Black female run publishing house Jacaranda Books. He is also co-author on the GCSE school text book on History from Pearson Education. Tony states facts about history, including the white supremacist educational system in England, the legacy of colonial education in the Caribbean, and the Civil Rights Movements (Black Panthers, Bus Boycott) happening in the UK.   “Find the oldest person in your family and ask them questions…”In the 22 years since creating Black History Walks, he's realized the massive deprivation of Black people being educated about their history, and this mass miseducation is perpetuated by colonialism and racism. In spite of the disappointing climate, there is still joy to be found in Saturday Schools, adult students having eye opening moments (check out the “why their history is important” section in his newsletter), and why Black economic independence and Black education independence are critical for the future.

You would think that hospitals with the most money would offer the most charity care—trickle down and all of that. If my health system is big and I have lots of money and profitable commercial patients, I can stuff more dollar bills into the charitable donation balance sheet bucket, right? Except, in general, it's a fairly solid no on that. Let's talk about some of my takeaways from the conversation that I had with Vikas Saini, MD, and Judith Garber from the Lown Institute. During the conversation, there's also mention of a powerhouse of a New York Times article. So, let's circle up on but a few of the more interesting (according to me) reasons why some rich hospitals fail to offer the level of charity care that you might think they could or should: #1: Chasing commercial contracts because they are very profitable means building in areas where there are frankly not a whole lot of poor people. You see hospital chains doing this all of the time and saying at the 2023 JPM (J.P. Morgan) conference that they intend to do more of it, opening up in a fancy suburb with no affordable housing. When this happens, there is just less opportunity to offer charity care. The need for financial aid in that ZIP code is just less. #2: The Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) movement, which is weird to say because, in other respects, I'm a big fan. There are a lot of services and surgeries moving out of the hospital into ambulatory surgical centers or just the outpatient setting, and this is going on for a bunch of reasons, including Medicare and employers being very on board with this to save facility fees. But here's a consequence: Surgeons and other docs are now not in the hospital. So, indigent patient shows up in the emergency room and needs an emergency surgery or some intervention. But wait … those physicians and their teams are no longer in the hospital. And now the hospital doesn't have the “capability or the capacity” to serve that patient. I heard from a surgeon the other day, and when he's on call at his hospital, he's getting patients shipped to him on the regular from hospitals in other states. Now, about this “oh, so sorry … we can't possibly help you so we're gonna stick you in an ambulance and take you to another state” plan of action. I called up emergency room expert Al Lewis. He told me that if this “ship 'em out” is being done routinely as a pattern by hospitals who have an ER, you could call it evidence of an EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act) violation on several levels. You can't have an emergency room and then routinely not be able to handle emergencies, especially when the emergencies you can't handle always seem to be of a certain kind and for a certain kind of patient. Speaking of violations, one more that reduces the need and level of charity care is canoodling with ambulance companies to take the poor people to some other hospital and the rich people to your hospital, which was allegedly transpiring in New Jersey, based on a recent lawsuit. #3: [play some foreboding music here] This last one is the big kahuna underlying reason why some very rich hospitals may not offer the level of charity care which you'd think they would. This was superbly summed up by Tricia Schildhouse on LinkedIn the other day. She knew a physician leader who would go around saying, “Non-profit and for-profit is a tax position, not a philosophy.” Bottom line, this whole thing boils down to what has been normalized as OK behavior at some of these rich hospitals. You have people in decision-making roles taking full advantage of their so-called tax position to jack up their revenues—revenues which they have no interest in frittering away on charitable causes. Why would they do that when they can use the money to, I don't know, stand up a venture fund or make Wall Street investments? Don Berwick's latest article in JAMA is entitled “The Existential Threat of Greed in US Health Care.” And, yeah … exactly. Back to that New York Times article that we talk about in this healthcare podcast, here's what it says about a hospital in Washington State. It says: “The executives, led by [the hospital's CFO] at the time, devised … a program called Rev-Up. “Rev-Up provided [the hospital's] employees with a detailed playbook for wringing money out of patients—even those who were supposed to receive free care because of their low incomes.” All of this being said, there are hospitals out there who are, in fact, living up to their social contract and serving their communities well with very constrained resources. You also have hospitals just in general working within some really whack payment models that we have in this country, which easily could be a root cause precipitating this suboptimal-ness. Dr. Saini and Judith Garber mention three direct solves for hospital charity shortfalls and also the larger context of the issue. So, there's, of course, better reporting and better auditing, which is pretty nonexistent in any kind of standardized way right now. I also really liked one of the solutions that Dr. Saini mentions on the show: Maybe instead of all the hospitals doing their own charity care thing, they all should pool their money regionally and then put a community board in charge of distributing it. That way, if there is a hospital in an area where the charity care is really needed, even if the rich hospital nearby doesn't have a facility there, they can help fund this care that their larger community really needs—including, by the way, public health needs, which is currently a big underfunded problem. As mentioned earlier, I am speaking with Vikas Saini, MD, and Judith Garber. Dr. Saini is president of the Lown Institute. Judith Garber is a senior policy analyst there. They've studied hospitals from a number of dimensions, not just charity care.   You can learn more at lowninstitute.org and lownhospitalsindex.org.    Vikas Saini, MD, is president of the Lown Institute. He is a clinical cardiologist trained by Dr. Bernard Lown at Harvard, where he has taught and done research. Dr. Saini leads the Institute's signature project, the Lown Institute Hospitals Index, the first ranking to measure hospital social responsibility. The Index, first launched in July 2020, evaluates hospitals on equity, value, and outcomes and includes never-before-used metrics such as avoiding overuse, pay equity, and racial inclusivity. In his role at the Lown Institute since 2012, Dr. Saini led the development of the Right Care series of papers published by The Lancet in 2017, convened six national conferences featuring world-renowned leaders in healthcare, and guided other Lown Institute projects such as the “Shkreli Awards.” Dr. Saini also serves as co-chair of the Right Care Alliance, a grassroots network of clinicians, patient activists, and community leaders organizing to put patients, not profits, at the heart of healthcare. Prior to the Lown Institute, Dr. Saini was in private practice in cardiology for over 15 years on Cape Cod, where he also founded a primary care physician network participating in global payment contracts. He also co-founded Aspect Medical Systems, the pioneer in noninvasive consciousness monitoring in the operating room with the BIS device. Dr. Saini is an expert on the optimal medical management of cardiologic conditions, medical overuse, hospital performance and evaluation, and health equity. He has spoken and presented research at professional meetings around the world and has been quoted in numerous print media, on radio, and on television.  Judith Garber is a senior policy analyst at the Lown Institute. She joined the Lown team in 2016, after receiving her Master of Public Policy degree from the Heller School of Social Policy. Her research interests include hospital community benefit policy, overuse and value-based care, and racial health disparities. She has authored several white papers, journal articles, op-eds, and other publications on these topics. Judith previously worked at the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, the Midas Collaborative, and Pearson Education. She has a bachelor's degree in American studies and political science from Rutgers University.   06:50 Why does America need socially responsible hospitals? 08:23 What standards are hospitals beholden to with their charitable spending? 08:47 “It's the honor system, essentially.”—Dr. Saini 11:38 What is fair share spending? 13:43 Which hospitals are paying their fair share? 15:05 Why do hospitals that are financially more strapped tend to give back to their communities more? 17:25 Why is it hard for hospitals with the most privately insured patients to do the most for their community? 18:56 “These outcomes … are the outcomes of the [current system].”—Dr. Saini 21:23 “A key problem here is [that] systems have gotten so big.”—Dr. Saini 22:30 What's the solution to fixing the problem with hospital charity care? 23:52 EP374 with Dave Chase. 29:21 What would be the level of acceptance with changing the system as it stands with hospitals?   You can learn more at lowninstitute.org and lownhospitalsindex.org.   @DrVikasSaini and @JudiTheGarber of @lowninstitute discuss #hospitalcharitycare on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #hospitals Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. On this episode we will cover:  ✔ What are the 4 neurosignatures that Friederike Fabritius identifies in her NEW book, The Brain-Friendly Workplace. ✔ How to use these neurosignatures to improve workplace productivity and happiness. ✔ 3 TIPS for using neurosignatures in YOUR workplace. ✔ Prepare for EPISODE #258 with Friederilke Fabritius.    ALL IMAGES FROM THE BRAIN-FRIENDLY WORKPLACE ARE CREDITED TO CAROLIN NISCHWITZ For this week's Brain Fact Friday, and Episode #257, I want to cover Friederike Fabritius's new book The Brain-Friendly Workplace: Why Talented People Quit and How to Get Them to Stay[i] as I've been reading her book, preparing for our interview Friday morning, and our NEXT episode, and I know I won't be able to cover everything in one interview. This book is beyond comprehensive and has enough science within it to cover our Brain Fact Fridays for the rest of this year. Friederike has been carefully writing this book since our last interview EPISODE #27[ii] back in 2019, when we first launched this podcast, and there are many Aha moments, and connections I'll highlight on the next episode, when we speak with her, but for today's Brain Fact Friday, I want to cover something important that her book taught me. It's the title of her book, The Brain Friendly Workplace, that explains what we all need to happy at work. My goal with this episode is to share Friederike's science-backed brain discovery of the “neurosignature” that she introduces in the introduction of this book, and how we can all use it to increase our awareness, the meaning we create throughout our day, and add a sense of autonomy with our work. Then I'll share an example that shows how her discovery of the “neurosignature” will highlight what we all need to be successful and happy in the modern workplace, with our brain in mind, and that it's not about changing the people (with more training) but it's about changing the workplace. With this paradigm shift in mind, I'll get straight to the point here—- For this week's Brain Fact Friday, Did YOU KNOW THAT: We all have our own “neurosignature,” a unique mix of four key brain chemicals that strongly affects our personality and how we process stress and information?” Once we understand our unique “neurosignature” we can learn how to hit our “optimal stress point” and manipulate our “fun, fear, and focus” which is the recipe for reaching peak performance in the workplace. In this place of peak performance,   Ideas will flow.  You'll feel energized, inspired, and alive. You'll also gain a valuable framework for understanding colleagues and those you interact with their different “neurosignatures.”  You'll get more done in less time  You'll see why changing the workplace is needed, over expecting employees to change with more training.  Understanding our unique “neurosignature” is a technique that provides a competitive advantage allowing you work with the flow, rather than against it.  This is the whole premise of Friederike Fabritius's NEW book, The Brain Friendly Workplace where she's created a new vision for the future of our modern workplaces. What are the 4 Neurosignatures? Friederike says there are 4 brain systems that we can fall into. Can you recognize yourself? Others you work with? What about those you live with? THE DOPAMINE NEUROSIGNATURE: Friederike says that “people high in dopamine are curious, energetic, and future-oriented. Inventors and entrepreneurs tend to have this neurosignature. They get bored easily and are always looking for the next new exciting project.” This one feels like me, as the host of this podcast, thriving with the creation of each episode. THE TESTOSTERONE NEUROSIGNATURE: People high in testosterone are tough-minded, direct, and enjoy wielding power. They tend to be analytical and use systems thinking, which involves moving logically from one step to the next to solve a problem, based on a system's “rules.” They enjoy tinkering with “systems” such as car engines or computers. This signature describes my husband to a “t” and we often joke around about his quality of being direct. I call it something else starting with the letter A—I mean it as a compliment as I do find direct people to be refreshing as they rarely waste time (a pet peeve of mine). THE ESTROGEN/OXYTOCIN NEUROSIGNATURE: People high in estrogen are empathetic and good at building personal connections and community. Estrogen increases the secretion of oxytocin, which enhances feelings of bonding and trust. People with this neurosignature excel at nonlinear “lateral thinking,” which involves examining a problem from multiple angles until insights emerge. Lateral thinkers are also good at envisioning long-term implications of a decision. I'm thinking this also seems like me, as I know I've been told I think this way, and then there's this highly intuitive side to me that I tap into as I'm creating these episodes with the goal of helping others, wherever you might be listening in the world. Are you ALSO noticing that you show up in more than one signature as well? Psychologist Scott Barry Kauffman, who wrote the foreword of The Brain Friendly Workplace, reminds us that “Neurosignatures are fluid, and they should serve as guidelines, as a helpful framework in understanding people, rather than as categories and boxes to classify people” and he shared how his “testosterone neurosignature is very high (in the morning). But by evening, it's almost nonexistent.” As you are thinking of what neurosignature you are, take note to how it might be different throughout your day. THE SEROTONIN NEUROSIGNATURE: In the final brain system, Friederike says that “people high in serotonin are reliable, detail-oriented, cautious and loyal. They thrive on routine and structure and enjoy consistency and stability.” What's YOUR Neurosignature? Where do you fit in? While I recognized myself with a dopamine neurosignature, I could also see I fit into the Estrogen/Oxytocin Signature.  While I admire those who naturally possess the Testosterone Signature, I probably try to rock the boat with those with a Serotonin Neurosignature, who are tradition-oriented and cautious, hoping they'll lean in a bit to some of my crazy adventurous ideas. How Does This Translate into YOUR Workplace for Increased Happiness and Success? It's always easy to look back, connecting the dots backwards, (like Steve Jobs reminds us) but if you asked me what corporate environment I enjoyed the most over my career, or when did I have the most fun with my work, (excluding my time working in the motivation speaking industry where I earned commission sales) I would hands down say that it was when I was operating from the Dopamine Neurosignature, and had fun, was creative, had complete autonomy with my day, was curious, which led to increased self-motivation and high productivity on my end. What job was I doing where I was working with this neurosignature? I was the happiest was when I was a field sales rep, working with Pearson Education, covering the southwest region of the country, selling books and software to Higher Ed (college/university campuses) and K-12 schools in the 5 States surrounding AZ. Work felt like play to me back then. This job hit all the requirements of my Dopamine Neurosignature but the only problem was that it required me to be on the road 4 days/week, so when I wanted to start a family, I had to leave this brain friendly field sales position, and go to inside sales to stay with the company. It's easy to see it all looking back, but I'll never forget the manager who looked me straight in the eye and said “this is a huge mistake for you.” I'm guessing he didn't need to know my neurosignature to see that I'd learn to understand what he meant a few years later when it all sunk in. I noticed the discord when I no longer had the chance to use my creativity, or curiosity in my day, working in this cubicle, that felt sort of like a prison when I was used to the open space of driving on endless open roads, navigating campuses to find my customer's offices, to suddenly sitting in a small space with just a telephone and computer—my neurosignature went haywire. I wouldn't have said it was the easiest transition until I figured out how to bring fun and creativity to an office space when our sales team started to go to the gym at lunchtime, breaking us out of our offices, and activating all of our brains mid-day. I'd say this revised work environment was the second most enjoyable corporate environment I've ever experienced. Like Friederike said “change the workplace, not the people.” Our sales team was highly productive and creative with this autonomy and we were all very happy. Here's my sales team from 2006, all of us with different neurosignatures (some of us were dopamine driven-enjoying the break away from our desks, others were serotonin driven, requesting to go dancing after work, and others testosterone driven—just there for the moment and planning to take over the world, or looking for the next open position in management/leadership). We all worked together, towards a common goal, helping each other to manage our optimal levels of stress, and even without knowing each other's neurosignatures, we knew what each of us needed to be successful. “Change the workplace, not the people.” What Happens if You Don't Have This Type of Synergy in YOUR Workplace? The crazy thing that happened to this sales team, is that our workplace changed about 2 years after this photo was taken. Our company boasted of these huge offices that we would all have moving from Scottsdale, right next to the base of Camelback Mountain (where we often hiked together) to Chandler, where back then, was known for their dairy farms and the wonderful scent you could catch in the air if you drove past one of these farms with your car windows open. Our offices moved and we all lost our synergy. The workplace changed, but not for the better. Management thought replacing our cozy cubicles that looked out to Scottsdale road, and the mountains nearby with a more corporate location (that you can see from the highway if you ever visit AZ). Pearson Education exists on the 101 near the Ray Road exit, but the culture that was created in the  Scottsdale location never made it there. The people were the same, but the workplace changed for the worse, taking the culture we had built with it. I remember using my creative mind, in our new offices, to change the energy of this location, and presented many forward-thinking ideas that were never received well from the Testosterone-led management team. Even the managers who made the old location a success, tried to change the culture, but something had changed with this new location, that would never be captured again. There is a solution to this problem, and Friederike captures it in her NEW book. To Review This Week's Brain Fact Friday, based on Friederike Fabritius's book, The Brain-Friendly Workplace: Why Talented People Quit and How to Get Them to Stay[iii] DID YOU KNOW THAT: We all have our own “neurosignature,” a unique mix of four key brain chemicals that strongly affects our personality and how we process stress and information?” Once we understand our unique “neurosignature” we can learn how to hit our “optimal stress point” and manipulate our “fun, fear, and focus” which is the recipe for reaching peak performance in the workplace.   HOW DO WE USE OUR NEUROSIGNATURE TO OPTIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY AND HAPPINESS IN OUR WORKPLACE? The first step of creating a Brain-Friendly Workplace is to recognize your own neurosignature, as well as those you work with, to optimize what each person on your team needs to reach peak performance with their work. I highly suggest reading the entire book, The Brain-Friendly Workplace, as I've only scratched the surface of this topic, and be sure to listen to our next episode where Freiderike dives deeper into her book with me. The next step is to remember that it's about changing the workplace, not the people, with more training. Think of ways that the workplace can be changed, replacing old ways of thinking (like how many hours you must sit at your desk) with the outcomes you expect employees to achieve. Remember my example of our sales team that left the office every day at lunch to exercise, increasing our productivity, happiness and loyalty to the company. REMEMBER: When were YOU the happiest with YOUR work? It took me some time to think back to all the workplaces I've ever worked in, but the ones where I was the happiest were easy to remember. Through trial and error I now know that I perform best working at a desk if I am able to exercise BEFORE I have to sit for long periods of time. How do you perform best? How do those you work with perform best? How can you use the neurosignature to improve your workplace productivity and happiness? I'll leave you with these questions, and will see you on our next episode, with Friederike Fabritius, as we dive into The Brain Friendly Workplace. See you next week.  REFERENCES: [i] The Brain Friendly Workplace: Why Talented People Qui and How to Make Them Stay by Friederike Fabritius Published Oct. 11th, 2022  https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Friendly-Workplace-Talented-People-Quit/dp/1538159538/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3NVHQ2JCDQ2NP&keywords=brain+friendly+workplace&qid=1667939024&sprefix=brain+friendly+%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-3 [ii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #27 with Friederike Fabritius on “The Recipe for Achieving Peak Performance.” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/pioneer-in-the-field-of-neuroleadership-friederike-fabritius-on-the-recipe-for-achieving-peak-performance/ [iii] The Brain Friendly Workplace: Why Talented People Qui and How to Make Them Stay by Friederike Fabritius Published Oct. 11th, 2022  https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Friendly-Workplace-Talented-People-Quit/dp/1538159538/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3NVHQ2JCDQ2NP&keywords=brain+friendly+workplace&qid=1667939024&sprefix=brain+friendly+%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-3
