I normally sit down for deep one-on-ones with education leaders, but this episode takes a different approach. At NESSIC's inaugural leadership conference, I captured something special - the birth of China's newest school network.Moving through the conference rooms with my microphone, I spoke with 20 school leaders about what drives them to build community beyond their campus walls. From heads of isolated regional schools to leaders of China's biggest international bilingual schools, these conversations reveal a sector ready to shift from competition to collaboration.If you're curious about how post-COVID China's international education community is evolving, this episode is for you.Linkshttps://nessic.org/This episode is supported by the International Curriculum Association.Learn more at internationalcurriculum.com.Thank you for tuning in, and as always, if you found this episode useful, please share your experience.

Series: Edible Schoolyards   Episode Description: “School meals are part of the education day.” —Betsy Rosenbluth   For far too long, the school lunchroom has been the butt of jokes and the source of dread for students and parents alike. Mention the words "cafeteria food" and visions of limp, gray mystery meat and rock-hard tater tots immediately come to mind. This pervasive stigma has reduced the lunchroom to a place where kids simply have to get through the meal as quickly as possible before rushing off to their next class.   By changing the culture and elevating the dining experience, we can empower students to see the cafeteria as an extension of the classroom, where they can learn about nutrition, explore new flavors, and take pride in the food that fuels their growing bodies and minds.   This week, we hear how we can transform the lunch room into a place of nourishment, community, and joy with Betsy Rosenbluth. Betsy is the Farm to School Director at Shelburne Farms, a nonprofit organization on a 1400-acre working farm in Vermont. For the past 10 years, Betsy has been spearheading efforts to expand farm-to-school programming across Vermont and support a national movement to transform the school food system.   Stay tuned as Justine and Betsy talk about the importance of tailoring programs to local needs, overcoming supply chain challenges, empowering students to make informed choices about their food, the benefits of building partnerships, and how farm-to-school programs are inspiring long-term impacts.  Connect with Betsy:  Betsy is Co-Director of Vermont FEED, a nationally recognized farm-to-school partnership program of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont and Shelburne Farms. Betsy also coordinates the Vermont Farm to School & Early Childhood Network and the Northeast Farm to School Collaborative and serves on the Advisory Board of the National Farm to School Network.   Prior to joining Shelburne Farms, Betsy helped establish the Burlington School Food Project and Education for Sustainability programs in Burlington schools. She also helped Vermont FEED draft and pass Vermont's first Farm to School bill and grant program. She led the effort to create a Lake Champlain museum on Burlington's waterfront with a nationally recognized youth employment program. Most recently, Betsy was Director of Projects and Interim Director at the Orton Family Foundation with a focus on community planning, development, and engagement in small cities and towns.    Website Facebook X  Instagram   Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 01:06 Mission: Educate and Cultivate  06:38 Tailoring Programs to Communities 11:30 Getting Schools' Attention 15:34 Getting Funding and the Importance of Partnerships 18:31 Incorporating Values 22:45 Celebrating Food Through Cooking Competitions  26:37 Empowering Kids to Try New Things

Great Hearts America is a thriving network of publicly-funded charter schools, encompassing tens-of-thousands of students in Arizona, Texas, and Louisiana.  They are rooted in what is popularly termed "Classical" education and their approach to learning and formation are very traditional.  By all accounts, they have been very successful.But, now the game has changed.  Nationally, as the wheels (sadly and unnecessarily) come off public schools, school choice initiatives are blossoming.  Nowhere is there more true than in Arizona where families can utilize state tuition tax credit  scholarships and state-funded empowerment scholarship accounts.  The net effect of this has been that the demand for Christian education has gone through the roof and it's never been more affordable.In response, Great Hearts' founder, Dr. Dan Scoggins, has launched Great Hearts Christos, a new network of Great Hearts Christian schools.Today, we have the opportunity to hear directly from Dan in terms of his vision for the Christos initiative.  As well, we'll talk with Dr. Toyin Atolagbe, the head of school for the first two Great Hearts Christos locations and discover the Great Hearts approach to student spiritual formation.Fore more information on Great Hearts America, please follow this link.To learn about Great Hearts Christos, please click here."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit:  https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit:  https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone:  (623)225-5573.

I don't know about you, but back when I was in school, lunch was a bit of a free-for-all. I was lucky enough to have parents who educated us pretty diligently on making good food choices, but sometimes those crunchy, salty french fries with thick chocolate milk were just too good to pass up. There wasn't much thought put into nutrition in schools back then. I realize now that unless kids had parents who had instilled food wisdom into their brains early, they probably didn't think twice about eating junk for meals. In fact, the freedom was kind of fun.  Fast forward to 12 years ago when Michelle Obama spearheaded the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 which allowed the USDA to radically change the way school lunch (and breakfast) was considered for the first time in 30 years. By changing nutrition standards and making healthy food options more widely available, food in schools finally got some of the attention that it deserved. So what's happened since then and what's going on now? What can we as moms and teachers do to support these initiatives and bring them home? Let's find out.With me on today's episode is Karen Spangler, Policy Director, at National Farm to School Network, a Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization that works to increase access to local food and nutrition education across all 50 states. Their goal is to improve children's health, strengthen family farms, and cultivate vibrant communities through a unifying focus on food. We also wanted to include a few direct resources for you freemoms, so here you go:Benefits of Farm to School programs fact sheetMore information on a racially just food systemBenefits of Values-Aligned Universal School MealsFrom mental health and managing relationships to raising changemakers and advocating for support, freemom is a podcast dedicated to ensuring that every mom feels heard.

What is health equity and how does it relate to food systems?  Derek Lin, a policy analyst at New Mexico Voices for Children, joins Sophia to share his perspective on using an equity lens to think about and address food insecurity. Show Notes: 3:20 The "gut microbiome" or gut flora or gut microbiota are the microorganisms including bacteria, archaea and fungi that live in the digestive tracts of humans and other animals including insects. 3:50 the “Map the Meal Gap 2019” annual report from Feeding America found that 1 in 4 children experience food insecurity in New Mexico, the highest indices of childhood hunger in the nation. https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/new-mexico15:50 SNAP aka the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps, provides nutrition benefits to food insecure families. 17:35 TANF aka Temporary Assistance for Needy Families operates differently state by state and supports a variety of programs that are aimed at helping income insecure families achieve more self-sufficiency. 18:35 Under the Trump administration, the "Public Charge" rule has been interpreted broadly and used widely to  reduce the number of people eligible for green cards and other visas in the United States and has consequently made benefits such as SNAP increasingly inaccessible to immigrant populations. https://www.inquirer.com/news/immigration-trump-hunger-food-stamps-public-charge-20200301.html19:55 Households do not reach food security through access to maximum amount of benefits. The shortfall of these programs is clearly illustrated through numbers: https://www.npr.org/2020/09/27/912486921/food-insecurity-in-the-u-s-by-the-numbers23:44 Research has been done on how the working families tax refund would reduce childhood poverty and hunger significantly https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/working-families-tax-relief-act-would-raise-incomes-of-46-million-households#:~:text=The%20credit%20is%20refundable%2C%20meaning,%2C%20property%2C%20and%20other%20taxes.Expanding low income comprehensive tax rebates and creating a fairer tax system is another policy solution to systemic poverty and food insecurity that NM Voices advocates for.

As we sow, so shall we reap. This is especially true when it comes to healthy eating. When we take a "hands on" approach to how we nourish our bodies, and help our children to do the same, our lives derive long term benefits. This week, listen in on our "health harvesting" conversations with Lisa Silverman of Five Seasons Cooking School, Christine Slader of the Yarmouth Community Garden, Craig Haims of the REAL School/Americorps and Ken Morse of the Maine Farm to School Network. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2012/10/healthy-harvest-57/

Food is one of the most basic things that all human beings have in common. We don't all eat the same types of food, but we are all linked to one another in our need for nourishment. Modern agriculture has increased the amount of food that is produced, yet even in America, there are hungry, malnourished children. Additionally, the environmental footprint of modern agriculture places it in direct competition with other industries and consumers for limited resources like oil, water, and minerals. On top of that, the way we as consumers handle our food compounds the environmental impact of our food supply. What we purchase and what we waste can have very negative effects on our air, water and soil quality. Tune in today as we talk with Jonathan Kaplan, the Director of Food and Agriculture and Senior Policy Specialist at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and Andrea Northup, , Founder and Director of D.C. Farm to School Network, and NRDC's 2012 Growing Green Award Winner in the Young Food Leader category. We will learn how to align our food habits with our “green” values, and how to teach those values to our children
