Today's episode explores a simple but urgent question: is our education system still fit for the world we're entering? Climate disruption, AI, and uncertainty demand new forms of education fit for complexity and change.A rich lineage of alternative and experimental education has been evolving for decades, seeking to make learning more holistic, place-based, creative, and ecologically grounded. The focus of today's conversation is one of those institutions: Black Mountains College in Wales. BMC is building a university model explicitly designed for a warming world, where nature is often the classroom and curriculum blends ecology and climate science with the arts, systems thinking, and community-rooted practice.I'm joined by its co-founder and CEO, Ben Rawlence, award-winning writer and former human rights researcher, to explore:The historicity of Western educational systemsWhat the role of a university should be in societyBlack Mountains College as model of the future of education The role of ecological imaginationYouth, eco anxiety and the challenges of parenting in today's planetary momentEpisode Website Links:Black Mountains CollegeThink Like a Forest by Ben RawlenceGuardian: ‘We create changemakers': the new UK college dedicated to climate crisisBMC and ecological imagination by Joseph Rowntree FoundationList of alternative schools and earth centered curriculum centersThe Solutions are Already Here: Strategies of Ecological Revolution from BelowBritt Wray on Climate GriefFuture CouncilRe-imagining education conference Look out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at an extraordinary pace, and education is being reshaped whether we are ready for it or not. In this episode, we discuss a new and fascinating book on this topic — Artificial Intelligence in Education: The Intersection of Technology and Pedagogy. The contributors are experts from around the world who are both educators and technically proficient. I'm joined by the editors of the book, who are leading experts in the field of learning technologies. Dr. Peter Ilic is a Senior Associate Professor in the Center for Language Research at the University of Aizu in Japan. Dr. Imogen Casebourne is the research lead at the Innovation Lab at the Digital Education Futures Initiative (DEFI) at Cambridge University. Prof. Rupert Wegerif is Professor of Education in the Faculty of have Education at the University of Cambridge and the founder and academic director of the Digital Education Futures Initiative (DEFI) at Hughes Hall, Cambridge University. The book and this conversation sit at the intersection, and sometimes the tension, between technologists and educators. Historically, educational technologies promised transformation but often end up reinforcing outdated models of learning. AI poses a new challenge that is fundamentally changing education. Together, we explore why simply adding AI to existing systems doesn't work, why dialogue between technology and pedagogy is now urgent, and how approaches like design-based research can help us develop educational AI more responsibly. We also discuss what it might mean to move toward a more dialogic understanding of education, one focused less on the transmission of knowledge and more on collaboration, problem-solving, and learning with both people and technology. At its core, this episode is a call for collaboration between educators, technologists, and policymakers and for taking an active role in shaping the future of AI in education, rather than being shaped by it.

As the number of living Holocaust survivors declines, a profound question emerges: who carries these stories next – and how do we ensure they are heard, understood, and acted upon? In this episode, timed to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th, James and David are joined by Hannah Wilson, Outreach Officer at the charity Generation to Generation, alongside two G2G speakers, Vivienne Cato and and Calum Isaacs, who share their own family histories as descendants of Holocaust survivors. (You can read about their stories here https://www.generation2generation.org.uk/the-story-of-mirjam-finkelstein and here https://www.generation2generation.org.uk/holocaust-survivor-eva-cato). Together, they explore how Holocaust education remains as important, powerful and relevant for young people today – not as mere knowledge of the history, but as lived experience passed from one generation to the next. Vivienne shares the story of her mother Eva, a Slovak Jewish survivor who spent years in hiding under a false identity, and reflects on her experience of growing up in the shadow of survival, luck, and loss. Calum tells the story of his grandmother Mirjam, who survived Nazi persecution through a series of extraordinary events – including a last-minute prisoner exchange – and considers how those near-misses shape identity, values, and responsibility across generations. The conversation also examines: Why Holocaust education matters more than ever How personal testimony cuts through misinformation, distortion, and online extremism The role of ordinary people, bystanders, and complicity – not just dictators – in enabling atrocities Why students often respond with quiet focus, empathy, and deep moral questioning How Holocaust education connects to wider conversations about racism, antisemitism, democracy, and civic responsibility today Hannah reflects on what good Holocaust education looks like in practice, the challenges teachers face, and why grounding learning in real human stories helps young people develop critical thinking, empathy, and historical understanding – without reducing education to moral instruction or political indoctrination. This episode is about remembrance with purpose: how bearing witness is not only about preserving the past, but about shaping the kind of future we want to live in – and the small actions that can make a decisive difference.

In this second episode of a two-part mini-series, Tara Elie turns the tables and interviews Dr James Mannion about the thinking behind Making Change Stick – and why so many school behaviour initiatives fail, even when the policy itself is sound. Following on from the previous episode on the psychology of mattering, this conversation explores what happens after the policy launch: how change is (or isn't) implemented in real schools, and why top-down, ‘black box' approaches so often lead to inconsistency, frustration, and drift. James traces jis 12-year journey into implementation science, drawing on lessons from healthcare, engineering and systems change – including a powerful case study from Cincinnati Children's Hospital – to show how schools can dramatically improve uptake, consistency and outcomes by changing how decisions are made. Together, they explore: - Why behaviour is often led by a single senior leader – and why this rarely works in practice - The importance of slice teams: representative groups that bring together staff from across a school (and sometimes students and families) to design, test and refine change - How slice teams improve both decision-making and buy-in by redistributing power without undermining leadership - Why implementation is a process, not an event – and why policies need ongoing review, feedback and adaptation - The role of mattering in behaviour systems: how staff feeling heard, trusted and involved leads to greater consistency for pupils - Practical tools schools rarely use – but should – including root cause analysis, communications plans, pre-mortems and ‘tight but loose' implementation - How understanding the root causes of behaviour issues can lead to unexpected but powerful solutions (including links to oracy, wellbeing and relationships) - Why fear-based compliance may look like ‘good behaviour' on the surface, but often masks deeper problems This episode is for school leaders, behaviour leads, teachers and system leaders who are tired of rolling out initiatives that never quite stick – and who want a more humane, effective and sustainable way to improve behaviour, relationships and attendance.

As 2025 draws to a close, James and David come together for a wide-ranging Christmas conversation that reflects on a turbulent year in education – and looks ahead to where hope, change, and renewal might yet be found. Kicking off with a powerful metaphor drawn from winter sea swimming, the discussion explores why schools currently feel so ‘choppy', from behaviour and attendance to widening inequality and system-level pressures. Along the way, we reflect on what really matters in education – relationships, belonging, and being known – and why these often get squeezed out by accountability and assessment. The episode revisits key debates sparked by the Curriculum and Assessment Review, including the future of GCSEs, the limits of ‘manageable change', and the uneasy separation of curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy. A detour into restorative justice, inspired by Punch and the story of Jacob Dunne, deepens the conversation about connection, responsibility, and what happens when people are truly seen. The parallels with schooling – and with how society treats its most vulnerable young people – are stark. The episode closes on a hopeful note, spotlighting examples of schools doing brave, relational, and imaginative work within the current system, and outlining plans for the podcast in 2026: fewer trench wars, more light-shining on practice that actually helps children and young people thrive. James also shares upcoming programmes and projects focused on oracy, behaviour, botheredness, and learning beyond subjects – all grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible when we start with relationships and implementation. In this episode, we explore: - Why education feels ‘choppy' – and what the winter swim metaphor reveals - Behaviour, discipline, and the limits of coercive models - Restorative justice, Punch, and the power of being known - What the Curriculum and Assessment Review did – and didn't – make possible - GCSEs, adolescent development, and the problem of high-stakes exams at 16 - Why relationships matter more than systems – and what the evidence says - Examples of hopeful practice already happening in schools - What's next for the podcast in 2026 Support #repod The Rethinking Education podcast is brought to you by Crown House Publishing.

What really happens inside a national curriculum review? In this episode, James and David go beyond headlines to explore the thinking, tensions and trade-offs behind England's Curriculum and Assessment Review - with two people who helped shape it. They're joined by Lisa O'Loughlin, Principal and CEO of Nelson and Colne College Group, and Jon Hutchinson, Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development at the Reach Foundation - both panel members of the Curriculum & Assessment Review - who offer rare, first-hand insight into how the review was shaped and why its recommendations landed where they did. This is an honest, wide-ranging discussion about ambition, constraints, evidence, politics, and what ‘high standards for all' actually means in practice. In this conversation, we explore: What it was like to sit on the Curriculum & Assessment Review panel - workload, process, and pressures Why the review focused on evolution rather than revolution The hidden constraints baked into the review - political, practical, and systemic Why post-16 recommendations matter more than many people realise The case for broadening pathways beyond a narrow academic route How oracy and the arts emerged as quiet winners in the final report The limits of assessment reform - and why GCSEs remain so hard to shift How evidence, professional judgement and lived experience were balanced What the review does not do - and why that has frustrated many critics This episode is essential listening for: School and college leaders Teachers and curriculum leads Policy-curious educators Anyone trying to make sense of what the review really changes - and what it doesn't Links Curriculum and Assessment Review - Final Report: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/curriculum-and-assessment-review-final-report Follow Jon - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-hutchinson-b3bbb568/ Follow Lisa - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-o-loughlin-0637b553/ Follow David - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-cameron-72061a15/ Follow James - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjamesmannion Support #repod The Rethinking Education podcast is brought to you by Crown House Publishing.

We're back for Season 6! In this reflective episode, James and David catch up after the summer and explore the “big idea” that's been emerging across recent blogs and conversations: there is more to human development than learning about subjects. They discuss the need for schools to make space for personal growth, wellbeing, and learner effectiveness alongside subject learning – and why our current focus on a purely knowledge-rich curriculum isn't enough to prepare young people for life beyond school. Along the way, they talk about theatre, conferences, politics, art, and the Everybody Thriving unconference in Manchester. ⏱️ Highlights Catching up after summer: Edinburgh Fringe, Fringe Review, and the Lost Lear play at the Traverse Theatre (00:01:00) James's trip to the EARLI Conference in Austria and the international focus on learner effectiveness (00:07:00) Hundertwasser's art and architecture in Vienna (00:09:00) Reflections on feedback from recent Rethinking Education episodes (00:11:00) The Supervision in Education Conference at St Mary's University, Twickenham (00:12:00) The Everybody Thriving unconference in Manchester (00:19:00) Audrey Tang, the Taiwanese civic hacker and politician, and her ideas on digital democracy (Plurality, GovZero, Pol.is, and presidential hackathons) (00:24:00) The Education Policy Alliance and “slice politics” – bridging the gap between grassroots innovation and executive power (00:28:00) The “big idea”: more to human development than subjects – learner effectiveness, self-knowledge, wellbeing, and systems thinking (00:36:00) Why subject knowledge alone isn't working: phones, attention, and the post-literate world (00:44:00) The Learning Skills Curriculum and Who Am I? project (00:47:00) The Welsh Government's Learner Effectiveness Programme (00:49:00) The purpose of education: human development vs. transactional outcomes (00:57:00) Future guests: Dave Whitaker and Rupert Wegerith (01:05:00) DON'T BE A STRANGER The Rethinking Education podcast is brought to you by Crown House Publishing.

What happens when you mix creativity with the freedom and flexibility of micro schools? In this enlightening episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett dive into the world of micro schools with special guest David Richards, founder and CEO of ChangeMakeredU. David breaks down what micro schools are—intimate learning environments with 5 to 150 students—and explains how their structure harkens back to the one-room schoolhouse model. He discusses the rapid growth of micro schools in response to rising parental demand for flexible, creativity-driven education, highlighting that 60% of micro schools use self-directed learning models. Throughout the episode, David shares real-world examples of micro schools focused on the arts, STEAM, neuroscience, and social-emotional learning, illustrating how these small, community-centered schools empower teachers to build the creative learning experiences they've always dreamed of. Listeners will gain insights into launching a micro school, including the business and operational steps, potential funding models, and the importance of tailoring offerings to the needs and values of local communities. David details how the micro school model creates space for true creativity, collaborative multi-age learning, and active parent involvement—environments that traditional schools often struggle to provide. The hosts express their excitement about the potential of micro schools to usher in a revolution in education, and David shares his most creative educational experience—designing a new school model with students using design thinking principles. If you're an educator, parent, or community leader interested in fostering creativity and reimagining learning, this episode offers a roadmap to getting started and highlights the resources available through ChangeMakeredU.

Are you truly preparing yourself—and your family—for the future? Or are you following traditional paths like college and career that may actually be leaving you vulnerable?Today's guest, Matt Smith, is an American entrepreneur and economic commentator who walked away from convention to build a resilient life. Now based in Uruguay running a regenerative cattle ranch, he co-hosts Doug Casey's Take podcast, publishes the Crisis Investing newsletter, and just co-authored The Preparation: How to Become Competent, Confident, and Dangerous with Doug Casey and his 20-year-old son.In this conversation, Matt shares how to become truly self-reliant in uncertain times—covering education, economics, and the timeless virtues that build competence and confidence. If you've ever wondered how to thrive, not just survive, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.Quotes:“Real confidence only comes through competency. When you become good at anything, even just one thing, it becomes a beachhead you can build on.” “You are the average of the five closest people around you. Choosing those people consciously is really critical, and makes all the difference.” “The environment is going to create different desires in you. Humans look to other humans to figure out what they want.” Actionable Takeaways:Question the Default Path: Ask yourself, Am I pursuing this career, degree, or lifestyle because I chose it—or because culture told me to? Write down what you truly want versus what you've been conditioned to want.Design Your Peer Environment: Evaluate the five people you spend the most time with. Do they push you toward competence, confidence, and independence—or keep you stuck in mediocrity? Make one intentional change this week.Lower Your Time Preference: Practice delaying gratification. Instead of chasing short-term comfort, invest time, money, or effort into something that will make you stronger in 5–10 years.Build Competence in One Area: Pick a skill—physical, financial, or intellectual—and commit to deliberate practice. Confidence flows from demonstrated competence.Create Your Personal Code: Draft a short written set of principles (3–5 lines) that define who you are and the kind of man or woman you want to become. Revisit it weekly.ConclusionIn a world where uncertainty is the only guarantee, Matt Smith reminds us that true preparation isn't about credentials or checking boxes—it's about becoming the kind of person who can adapt, lead, and thrive no matter what comes. Competence, confidence, and resilience don't happen by accident; they're built through intentional choices, delayed gratification, and surrounding yourself with the right people and principles.The challenge is simple yet profound: Are you preparing to merely survive, or to live with strength, independence, and purpose? The time to start building that future is now.
This week I sit down with Michelle Compton, one of the most impactful teachers in my kids' lives, for a conversation every parent needs to hear. Michelle opens up about her journey from public schools to private education, the mentors who shaped her, and why she believes childhood should be full of curiosity, play, and joy.We talk about what's broken in our schools, from standardized testing to one-size-fits-all curriculums, and how she's built a classroom that looks and feels completely different. Michelle shares how Reggio Emilia, inquiry-based learning, and maker spaces are transforming the way kids engage and grow.If you've ever questioned the system or wondered what education could look like when kids (not tests) come first, this episode will challenge and inspire you.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

What it means to be an educated person or have an educated population as a country is a big part of what informs the decisions around industrial, economic and education policy. But built into these questions are some fundamental assumptions about what it means to make progress or be developed as a society. And beneath that particular values about what it means to know and be in the world.My guests this week have been exploring these precise questions in the context of international development but as you will hear there are so many resonances with the conversations that we are sharing about change in education. Dr. Uma Pradhan and Dr. Peter Sutoris are the authors of the new book 'Reimagining Development: Bold Directions Towards a Thriving World'.Uma is an Associate Professor at IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, and Deputy Programme Leader for BA Education, Culture, and Society. She also serves as Inclusion Co-Lead for the Department of Education, Practice and Society (EPS). At UCL, she is part of the Centre for Education and International Development (CEID) and the Centre for the Study of South Asia and the Indian Ocean World. Before joining UCL, she was a Lecturer and Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Oxford. She is author and co-author of many books including, Language Education, Politics and Technology in South Asia; Anthropological Perspectives on Education in Nepal: Educational Transformations and New Avenues of Learning; Rethinking Education in the Context of Post-Pandemic South Asia; Simultaneous Identities: Language, Education and the Nepali Nation.Peter is Associate Professor in Climate and Development in the School of Earth and Environment at Leeds University in the UK. His work bridges anthropology with education, development studies and environmental studies.Prior to this new book with Uma, Peter authored two books, Visions of Development (Oxford University Press, 2016), Educating for the Anthropocene (The MIT Press, 2022), all tackling the central questions about how humanity might be able to imagine its path to survival through the unfolding environmental multi-crisis.Links:The book: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/development-reimagined/ https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/87070-uma-pradhan/abouthttps://www.petersutoris.com/https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/see
In this episode of the Innovating Together podcast, host Bridget Burns welcomes Dr. Carole Basile, Dean of Arizona State University's Mary Lou Fulton College of Teaching and Learning Innovation. Together, they dive deep into education innovation, structural change in teacher preparation, and the bold reimagining of the K–12 and higher education workforce.Dr. Basile's fresh approach centers on a groundbreaking premise: the average student or teacher no longer exists, so why are our systems still designed for “average”? Instead of tweaking curriculum or offering surface-level professional development, her team is working to completely redesign school structures based on variance, strengths-based staffing, and collaborative educator teams. She explains how the outdated “one teacher, one classroom” model is being replaced by dynamic, team-based configurations that align with the unique strengths of educators and the individual needs of students.Key insights from this episode:Personalized learning requires a shift in structure, not just contentWorkforce development in education is about strategic team design, not just hiringAI and technology are tools to empower educators and personalize education, not replace themTeacher satisfaction, retention, and student success increase in structurally innovative modelsTrue innovation starts with permission to change and the courage to move with the willingDr. Basile also shares the real impact of this model, now implemented in over 150 schools across 17 states, reaching more than 27,000 students, and how it's transforming both student outcomes and educator morale.“When we build teams around real expertise, everyone wins—students and teachers alike.”If this episode sparked a new vision for your institution or school system, share it with a colleague, and visit Mainstay.com to explore research-backed retention tools that are shaping the future of student engagement.Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

“The problems we face are not the fault of any single individual or organisation. They are often the by-product of good intentions. And yet, alongside children and young people and their parents and carers, it's educators who are most exposed to these pressures – who confront them every day, and try to make it all work regardless,” writes today's guest in a piece from May titled Confronting the educational polycrisis.Joining us from Brighton, UK Dr James Mannion is a keynote speaker, teacher trainer, researcher, consultant and author with a passion for educational and political reform. He is the co-founder and Director of Rethinking Education, a teacher training organisation specialising in implementation and improvement science, self-regulated learning and practitioner inquiry. A former teacher of 12 years, James has an MA in person-centred education from the University of Sussex and a PhD in self-regulated learning from the University of Cambridge. He is also the host of the popular Rethinking Education podcast, of which I have been a huge fan for a long time. In fact, HRP contributed the very first video essay we ever made to a virtual arm of James's Rethinking Education Conference back in 2022. This conversation crossover has certainly been a long time coming!“We have multiple crises on our hands,” James writes, “They interact and have become entangled. This makes them difficult to resolve - but resolve them we must.” And my hope today is that even if we can't untangle the polycrisis today, we can at least get a better grasp and perhaps loosen their hold on our education systems.https://drjamesmannion.substack.com/https://makingchangestick.substack.com/https://www.educationpa.org/https://wssnow.org/https://www.ucyottawa.com/invitation-to-the-rcen-book-club/
What if all that time you spent learning Python on YouTube or mastering Photoshop through online tutorials could actually count toward formal education credits?For this episode, we're at the U.S. Distance Learning Association's (USDLA) latest conference, to talk with Dr. Joe Sallustio, veteran higher ed expert and Co-Founder and Host of The EdUp Experience podcast. We chat about how learning has fundamentally changed and why it may be time for higher education to wise up to the trend of video-based learning. After all, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit are the go-to places for millions of people to get answers or to learn new skills. So if you pour hours and hours into learning a topic, shouldn't that count for something?Joe explains how ‘Credit for Prior Learning' (CPL) could help to bridge the gap between how people actually learn today and higher education by awarding credits for lived experience and skills. Joe also shares his advice for anyone new to making videos, and explains how AI can knock down the barriers to entry if you're ready to start making training videos.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 02:13 Introduction to Joe and his background in higher ed02:13 – Joe's biggest tip for using images and video in learning content03:05 – 04:55 How teachers can start to use images and videos as part of training04:55 – 06:30 How new video creators can get past the barriers to entry 06:30 – 07:47 How to create viewer-friendly content based around their expectations07:47 – 08:16 Why video subject and viewer intention determine the ideal length08:16 – 10:28 How ‘credit for prior learning' could bridge the gap between traditional education and online learning10:28 -13:03 Should higher ed offer ways to prove knowledge outside the norm?13:03 – 13:15 How to connect with Joe13:15 – 14:08 Joe's final take14:08 – 14:27 Outro Important links and mentions:Connect with Joe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joesallustio/
Welcome to episode 36 of the Designing with Love podcast! In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Craig Hane, a math educator and founder of the Triad Math Army. Mathematics doesn't have to be intimidating, confusing, or useless. Dr. Craig Hane proves this through his remarkable journey from being told he wasn't "college material" to revolutionizing how math is taught and learned.Dr. Hane shares how his uncle taught him practical mathematics that put him ahead of his peers, yet traditional algebra instruction nearly derailed his academic future. This contradiction sparked a lifelong mission to transform mathematical education. With refreshing candor, he explains why 90% of what's in standard algebra textbooks is either obsolete or unnecessarily theoretical, serving examinations rather than real-life applications.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Hane introduces Wolfram Alpha, a powerful computational tool that has transformed what's possible in mathematics education. Just as calculators made slide rules obsolete overnight in the 1970s, this technology allows students to focus on understanding concepts rather than struggling with manual calculations. His six-tier educational system progressively builds mathematical competency, starting with essential practical skills and advancing through higher-level concepts as needed.Beyond mathematics, Dr. Hayne has developed "wisdom tools" – practical knowledge frameworks accumulated through decades of experience addressing everything from breaking bad habits to achieving financial freedom. His Triad Math Army combines mathematical education with these wisdom tools, creating a comprehensive development program that serves both academic and personal growth.Whether you're a student struggling with mathematics, an educator seeking better approaches, or someone who's always felt alienated by traditional math instruction, this conversation offers a revolutionary perspective on learning and teaching. Dr. Hane's practical, technology-embracing approach could transform how we think about not just mathematics, but education as a whole.
Claire and Rachel take some time with outgoing Regent President and resident penguin fanatic, Dr. Jeff Greenman to look back on his tenure since 2015. They hear about Jeff's student experience at Regent, the joys and challenges of leadership, why he loves Regent students, the projects that he has spearheaded and seen to fruition – from student housing projects to the Master of Arts in Leadership, Theology and Society, and some of his quirkier traits and trademarks! It is a deeply hopeful conversation, which emphasises the importance of theological education and humble leadership in our contemporary moment.Jeff's BioDr. Jeffrey P. Greenman is a distinguished theologian and educator, currently serving as the President and Professor of Theology and Ethics at Regent College. He is the first alumnus to hold this position, having earned his Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Regent College in 1988. His academic journey also includes a Bachelor of Arts from Albion College, a Master of Arts from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in Religious Ethics from the University of Virginia. Before becoming President in 2015, Jeff held significant roles at Regent College, including Academic Dean and Executive Vice President. In 2024, Jeff Greenman announced his decision to retire in June 2025, concluding a decade of leadership at Regent College. He continues to be actively involved in teaching, writing, and speaking engagements, focusing on Christian ethics, spiritual formation, and leadership development. Today, we will be reflecting with Jeff on his time as President, as well as his many years of connection with Regent.Previous Podcast AppearancesThe Pedagogy of Praise (Jan 2022)The food industry, gluttony and theology, with Whitney Buckner (May 2019)Rethinking Education, with Raphael Haeuser (May 2018)Summer Listener SurveyPlease fill out our Listener Survey before the end of July for the opportunity to win a $100 Regent College Bookstore Gift Card.Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

In this joyful and thought-provoking episode, we're joined by Tom Veck and Andy Hawkings from Rocktopus – the world's greatest rock band for kids (and educators, as it turns out). At the last Rethinking Education conference, Tom and Andy did something truly remarkable: in front of a live audience of 500 people, they wrote a brand new song on the spot. With lyrics provided by the audience and four chords chosen entirely at random, they created a tune that's both hilarious and haunting – and just wait until you hear it. Fair warning: it's an absolute earworm. But this episode is more than a musical moment. Tom and Andy – both former teachers – use the lyrics of the song as a springboard for a fascinating conversation about the perks and peculiarities of the English education system. We explore the power of creativity, the limits of conformity, and what it might take to build a system that helps everyone to thrive. Whether you're a teacher, parent, policymaker or student, this one's for you. In this episode: A live songwriting experiment with audience participation Why music and creativity matter more than ever in education Stories from the classroom – and why Tom and Andy left teaching Reflections on control, compliance and how to do things differently We have a narrow curriculum which squeezes out the arts - so let's rethink education There is a lack of imagination and not enough fun - so let's rethink education Children should be self directed showing us their way let them lead Transferable skills should be the core of what we teach learn for life So let's trust Let's be brave Let's do what's right and not what is required Let's have fun Let's explore Let's bring back the love forget the fear of being fired! We're forced to rank the children as OFSTED ranks the schools - so let's rethink education We have a lack of agency - we're trapped inside the system - so let's rethink education A place of transformation that embraces community school is the heart A place to dream a place to play a Place to think and love feeling free So let's trust Let's be brave Let's do what's right and not what is required Let's have fun Let's explore Let's bring back the love forget the fear of being fired!

In this short episode of the Rethinking Education podcast, James Mannion speaks with Dr Kulvarn Atwal – a highly respected headteacher leading not one, but two schools: Highlands Primary and Uphall Primary in East London. Kulvarn is the author of The Thinking School and The Thinking Teacher, and a long-time advocate of distributed leadership and research-informed practice. He shares insights into how his schools are developing cultures of continuous improvement through collaboration and genuine stakeholder engagement. This conversation focuses on the idea of slice teams – diverse, representative groups of staff, students, and other members of the school community who lead change initiatives together. Slice teams are a central feature of James's new book, Making Change Stick: A Practical Guide to Implementing School Improvement. Topics discussed include: What slice teams are and how they work in practice Why including pupils in these teams is so important How this approach can lead to more sustainable, system-wide change Whether you're a school leader, a classroom teacher, or someone interested in education reform, this is a thought-provoking discussion on how we can rethink leadership and change in schools.

In this episode of the Young Dad podcast, host Jey Young speaks with Robert Delena, a father who defied expert opinions regarding his son Ryan's developmental challenges. Robert shares his journey of advocating for Ryan, who was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder and faced extreme behavior modification techniques in therapeutic schools. Through skiing, Robert discovered Ryan's untapped potential, leading to a radical shift in their parenting approach. The conversation explores the importance of trusting parental instincts, the impact of diagnosis, and the healing power of nature. Robert emphasizes the need for parents to be advocates for their children and to question professional advice when necessary.TakeawaysRobert's story highlights the importance of parental advocacy.Skiing became a transformative experience for Ryan.Trusting your instincts as a parent is crucial.Diagnosis can sometimes hinder rather than help children.The educational system often fails to accommodate individual needs.Nature has a healing power that can benefit children.Parents should question professional advice when it doesn't feel right.Finding a passion can change a child's life trajectory.Support and love are essential for a child's development.Every child deserves the chance to thrive beyond labels.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Fatherhood and Advocacy01:44 Defying Expert Opinions: A Father's Journey03:16 Questioning the System: A Father's Perspective08:34 The Struggles with Therapeutic Schools15:46 The Impact of Skiing on Ryan's Life21:45 Navigating Mental Health and Medication28:55 Finding Passion: The Power of Skiing31:16 Education and Individualized Learning32:07 Rethinking Education for Modern Kids33:16 The Importance of Outdoor Activities35:37 Navigating Interests and Hobbies37:47 Supporting Kids' Passions39:13 Growth Through Shared Experiences41:56 Advice for Parents Facing Challenges43:07 Navigating Mental Health and Medication46:15 Trusting Parental Instincts50:17 Fun and Lighthearted Questions53:30 Advice for Young Fathers56:13 lifestyle-outro-low.wavCheck out the Website for Interactive Activity Guides, Resources, Full Transcripts, all things YDP- www.youngdadpod.com Clink the Link for YDP Deals (Joon, Forefathers &more)- https://linktr.ee/youngdadpod Want to be a guest on Young Dad Podcast?

In this episode I'm talking to Dr James Mannion. James is co-author of Fear is the Mind Killer a book designed to guide, implement and evaluate a Learning Skills curriculum in schools. More recently he has written Making Change Stick, a book that brilliantly synthesises research on school improvement so that is can be practically implemented in a sustainable way. James is also a fellow podcaster, hosting the Rethinking Education podcast and is director at Rethinking Education. I was really happy to be able to speak with James after following his work on Learning to Learn for a long time and wanting to know his interpretation of the International Baccalaureate's approach to this. Additionally, his more recent writing on implementation science is incredibly useful in providing pragmatic approaches for new and existing leaders of change. We discuss: What the distinction is between cognition, metacognition, self-regulation and self-regulated learningWhat James makes of the IB's Approaches to Learning framework How his Learning to Learn programme was sequenced Whether Learning to Learn should be tailored to respective subjects or taught through a bespoke class How much of the Making Change Stick programme would be relevant to middle leaders And finally, whilst compiling a fantastic collection of implementation strategies, who are James' 3 or 4 pillars of the field in terms of researchers or texts that proved seminalThanks again to James for doing the hard yards in condensing a decade's work of research down into an eminently readable books on two separate occasions.

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined again by Dr Jamie Smith, Executive Chairman at C-Learning and author of the new book The Responsible AI Revolution. Jamie joins us to discuss the intersection of AI and education, emphasising the need for a responsible approach to AI implementation. Jamie introduces his book, which addresses the potential consequences of AI in education and the importance of asking deeper questions about its role. The conversation explores ethical considerations, the need for upskilling, and the redefinition of roles in the workforce as AI continues to evolve. In this conversation, we explore the transformative impact of AI on productivity, leadership, and organisational culture. We also discuss the necessity for leaders to embrace discomfort and innovation, the importance of a supportive culture for AI adoption, and the potential for a collective approach to AI governance. The dialogue also touches on the need for a reimagined educational framework that prioritises human well-being over standardised assessments, as well as the importance of living in the present and making meaningful contributions to society.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context of AI in Education06:04 The Responsible AI Revolution12:09 Ethical Considerations and Unintended Consequences18:01 Upskilling and Redefining Roles in the Age of AI27:26 Embracing AI: A Paradigm Shift30:08 Positive Disruption and Innovation32:03 Leadership in the Age of AI36:03 The Role of Culture in AI Adoption39:44 The Future of AI and Our Collective Responsibility46:51 Rethinking Education for the AI EraGrab a copy of The Responsible AI Revolution.Thanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.Ben & Steve xChampioning those who are making the future of education a reality.Follow us on XFollow us on LinkedInCheck out all about EdufuturistsWant to sponsor future episodes or get involved with the Edufuturists work?Get in touchGet your tickets for Edufuturists Uprising 2025

Dr. James Mannion is distinguished authority on educational reform. He explains the concept of "backward design," a strategic approach to implementing school improvement by beginning with clear objectives and working backward to identify solutions for current challenges. Dr. Mannion shares insights from his recent publication, "Making Change Stick," where he emphasizes the necessity of engaging educators at all levels in the change process, thereby fostering a collaborative environment that enhances student outcomes. We explore the transformative impact of project-based learning and self-regulated learning on students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, demonstrating how innovative educational practices can yield significant improvements. Takeaways: The transformative impact of learner effectiveness on student outcomes cannot be overstated, particularly for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Implementing a backward design strategy is crucial in addressing current educational challenges and achieving meaningful change. The involvement of diverse voices in the decision-making process enhances the effectiveness of school improvement initiatives. Recognizing failure as an opportunity for growth is essential in fostering resilience among both educators and students. Cultural shifts within educational institutions require sustained efforts over a period of two to three years to be effective. Engaging students in arts and creativity leads to more profound learning experiences and enhances the overall educational environment. Dr James Mannion is a keynote speaker, teacher trainer, researcher, consultant and author with a passion for educational and political reform. He is the co-founder and Director of Rethinking Education, a teacher training organisation specialising in implementation and improvement science, self-regulated learning and practitioner inquiry.
