Many middle and high school teachers avoid discussing controversial topics in class due to their fear of controversy. They may worry about offending students or parents with different viewpoints. However, productive discussions on complex issues are essential to learning. It requires skill, and teachers may need more confidence in navigating disagreements. However, these discussions can be valuable learning experiences with careful planning and clear guidelines. In episode 264 of Class Dismissed, we interviewed two experts: Dr. Paula McAvoy, an Associate Professor of Social Studies Education at NC State College of Education, and Dr. Greg McAvoy, a professor and department head of political science. The pair offered three structured approaches to help middle and high school students debate current controversies. Structured Academic Controversy (SAC) is a method that sets up opposing views within a framework that encourages collaboration. By assigning students to research and advocate for different sides of an issue, SAC fosters an environment where students must actively engage with opposing perspectives, aiming to reach a consensus through mutual understanding. Close-up deliberations, in contrast, focus on exploring a range of policy options related to a given issue. Students are presented with various viewpoints and policy proposals, and through group discussions, they strive to develop a policy recommendation that accommodates diverse opinions within the group. This approach, with its real-world applicability, encourages students to consider the complexity of issues and grapple with the trade-offs involved in decision-making. Team Debate is a powerful platform for students to articulate and defend their positions on a contentious issue. By organizing students into opposing teams and requiring each participant to contribute to the debate, this format promotes active participation and fosters critical thinking. The competitive element adds a layer of motivation for students to prepare compelling arguments while also fostering resilience in the face of opposing viewpoints. Through surveys and interviews, the researchers found that these structured formats effectively addressed common concerns about classroom discussions on controversial topics. The structured nature of the activities, coupled with explicit norms promoting respect and civility, helped mitigate the risk of discussions devolving into heated arguments. Moreover, these formats democratized the discourse by ensuring that all students were actively involved, regardless of their prior interest or political expertise. These findings suggest that structured approaches to debating public policy issues can be valuable tools for educators seeking to promote critical thinking, civic engagement, and respectful dialogue among secondary students. Despite the challenges posed by today's polarized political climate, these methods offer a hopeful path forward for fostering informed and constructive civic discourse in classrooms.

In this episode, I focus on history in education. Why study history?Joining me to discuss these intriguing facets of the study of history is historian of education, Dr. Christopher Berg. He is a history professor specializing in pre-modern World history with research and writing focused on creating a "usable" past that meets the needs of an educated public in the 21st century. He has authored/edited three books: Small Island, Big History: A Modern Panoramic History of Great Britain & Her Empire, Unveiling the Thread of Time: 27 Texts in Greek and World History, and The Palgrave Handbook of History and Social Studies Education. Once highly regarded in education, the significance of history has gradually faded from the curriculum's forefront into a subject that has increasingly become marginalized within the public school system. However, this trend has not gone unnoticed, as debates surrounding the study of history have emerged with roots tracing back to the 1930s.In recent years, there has been increased scrutiny surrounding history textbooks, leading some critics to call for their removal from the curriculum with titles such as "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong" and "Teaching What Really Happened: How to Avoid the Tyranny of Textbooks and Get Students Excited about Doing History Again.” Nonetheless, simply eliminating textbooks, as often proposed, clashes with the reality experienced in most classrooms. Scholars assert that traditional teaching methods and educational resources like textbooks have the potential to harm students in their current form. However, they also emphasize that these resources can still fulfill a vital role if they adapt to meet the needs of 21st-century students.The call to action is to appreciate the value of history education and illuminate the path for future generations. It is more than a sidebar subject on the education menu, but rather the backbone of our humanity.

In this three-part bonus series, we take a deep dive into some very important aspects of tax filing and nest egg building for American citizens. Even if money is not your thing, this series will help you save a lot -- if it prompts you to, as our guest Jeff Devens suggests, start asking critical questions.The three parts of the series are: 1-How to file US taxes using legal levers to maximize your advantages. 2-How to pay as few taxes as possible on your investment earnings (also legally!) while also minimizing future taxes. 3-Making sure you qualify for Social Security and, more importantly, Medicare upon your retirement from teaching overseas.For the past 26 years, Dr. Jeff Devens has worked in international education as a school psychologist, counselor, and classroom educator. Jeff holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Psychology and Social Studies Education and completed his Ph.D. in School Psychology in 2006. In 2014 Jeff served as a member of a Crisis Response Team (CRT) supporting an international school going through two simultaneous crises. This experience profoundly impacted his understanding of finances and the necessity to support fellow educators as a form of psychological financial first-aid. Jeff is currently in the process of completing his certification from Boston University as a Certified Financial Planner. Jeff's wife, Nanette, is also an international educator (high school music). They have two children: Cylas, age 17, and Cora, age 13. During his “free” time, Jeff enjoys exercising and competing in Jiu Jitsu, having earned his black belt in 2018. Our guiding question for the episode was, “What kinds of advice around taxation and retirement nest egg planning would you give to US Expats living overseas?”Our chat was US-centric, looking at the US tax system and what US international educators need to know to grow their nest egg, making the most of beneficial tax rules.

#37 - ADHD in our Workplace, in our Kids, and US - with Elizabeth Baker Today's conversation is real and raw and I couldn't be more thankful for the vulnerability and honest conversation. My guest today is the wonderful Elizabeth Baker. She is a friend that I met through a mastermind group I belong to. Elizabeth is married with 5 kiddos with ages ranging from 12 to 4! Woah! She's busy! She grew up on the Canadian prairie in a town of 300 people. She earned a bachelor's degree from BYU -Idaho in Social Studies Education. She was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 36 and has been trying to share her story ever since in hopes she can help others on their own journey. Elizabeth is very passionate about speaking out in favor of being curious about ADHD. Today we dive in on these topics: The shame of feeling like there is constantly “something wrong with us” What neurodivergent means How to channel those “why can't I focus” thoughts Behaviors and character traits of someone who has ADHD Signs that someone on your work team may be struggling with ADHD Understanding how ADHD shows up for and in our kids. ADHD is a real struggle for a lot of working women in the world right now and is still underdiagnosed. In 2018, the CDC reported an increase of 344% in women seeking medication for ADHD, while Google searches in the U.S. related to ADHD in women more than doubled between March 2021 and March 2022. The workplace is where many women with ADHD struggle the most, whether it's attempting to work the same way as their neurotypical team members, navigating the social scene, living up to expectations, or, notably, finding the confidence to ask for help - all while trying to show up positively for their spouses and children. Many women are trying to mask their symptoms or blame themselves in order to conform with, which we know is so not healthy! Today's conversation is all about trying to help you if you struggle with ADHD. Both Elizabeth and I get real about how this has affected our own lives and how we think we and you…. are fabulous for it!

What is the Seal of Civic Readiness, and how can students earn it on their high school diplomas? Last year, New York became the fifth U.S. state to begin awarding this honor to graduating high school seniors for demonstrating certain levels of civic knowledge and participation. Over 100 New York schools piloted the program during the last school year, and in this episode, I speak to a district administrator who oversaw the rollout of the Seal of Civic Readiness in her large upstate New York district. Even though this episode focuses on one state's policy, it holds lessons for states around the country and perhaps countries around the world, so please stay tuned, even if you're far from New York. Lisa Kissinger has worked as a social studies teacher at the middle and high school levels and now serves as the Academic Administrator for Social Studies Education in the Shenendehowa Central School District, which is a about twenty miles north of Albany and has about 3000 students on one high school campus. In this episode, I talk to Lisa about how and why the state developed the Seal of Civic Readiness, requirements for earning the Seal, how exactly students at Shenendehowa High School earned the Seal on their diplomas, challenges and successes of the program's first year, how she expects her school's program to expand opportunities for students to earn the Seal, and her advice for educators elsewhere who are interested in this type of work.

Welcome to Summer 2022! This summer Dr. Haddad taught a course titled "History, Policy, & Critical Issues in Social Studies Education" during June. As many can likely surmise from the title and the current political climate, we had plenty of actual real-life social studies content unfolding right in front of us while we engaged with the course content. Our conversations this summer were real and raw and left us with more questions than answers, but that's what the goal is in the end to want to know more after building a shared understanding as a class. In this first episode, Heather, Michael, and Estelle to talk about pedagogy, assessment and critical literacy in social studies. #UTSASSITN --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/transformative-talk/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/transformative-talk/support

How can technology enhance students' engagement in classroom learning? When are technologies helpful, and when are they harmful? In this episode, I talk to Dr. Dan Krutka, associate professor of social studies education at the University of North Texas. Dan's research sits at the intersection of technology, education, and democracy. We discuss how teachers can decide which technologies would strengthen their teaching or whether technologies would even be helpful at all. We also discuss many specific online tools and how they can be useful for enhancing student engagement and learning. In our conversation, Dan touches on a variety of other issues, as well, such as how to teach effectively in online learning environments when students are home during COVID lockdowns.

Consultation (or not)! Ideology! (Dr. Carla Peck and the Curriculum - Part 3) Since the provincial government release their new “curriculum”, there's been no shortage of outcry, frustration and condemnation, particularly in regards to the social studies “curriculum”. One of the UCP's campaign promises was to “throw the NDP curriculum in the shredder” and come up with their own, but what they have produced, particularly the Social Studies curriculum has created a lot of anger and concern. To try and figure out how things got as bad as they are, we sat down with Dr. Carla Peck, Professor of Social Studies Education in the Department of Elementary Education at the University of Alberta. This episode turned into a pretty deep dive on Curriculum development, so we're breaking it up into three parts, this is Part 3.

To most people it looks like she is always doing things the hard way, but she likes to say that she is doing things the creative way. http://momlife.today https://www.instagram.com/liz.momlifetoday/ https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.b.baker email – elizabeth@momlife.today --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
On today's episode, Dr. Jon Lunde shares with us his thoughts on purity culture, hook-up culture, and serial monogamy. We also dive into covenantal living and how that should affect our sexuality. Hope you enjoy! Jonathan Lunde received a Ph.D. in New Testament from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, a Th.M. in New Testament from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, a M.Div. from Lutheran Brethren Seminary, and a B.S. in Social Studies Education from Moorhead State University. His main interests lie in the study of Jesus, both as he is presented in the gospels and in the more specialized Historical Jesus field. He also enjoys studying how the writers of the New Testament use the Old Testament. Prior to coming to Talbot, he taught for seven years at Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois, and also has local church ministry experience. His passion is to present Jesus to his students in such a way that they personally respond to him as their Suffering Servant and as their King.

Saving Lives with New Suicide Hotline Number (0:33)Guest: Dan Reidenberg, PsyD, Executive Director, Suicide Awareness Voices of EducationWe've all been trained from childhood to dial 9-1-1 in an emergency. But what if it's a mental health emergency? A lot of people still call 9-1-1 when the better number would be the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255. But who's going to remember that number in a crisis? Soon you may only have to remember 9-8-8. The Federal Communications Commission is in the process of creating that national phone shortcut. The ultimate goal is saving lives. Teaching About Slavery in the Classroom (14:50)Guest: Anthony Brown, Professor of Curriculum & Instruction in Social Studies Education at the University of Texas at Austin, Project Lead “Teaching Texas Slavery”Well-meaning teachers around the country organize role-playing activities to teach about slavery to kids – mock slave auctions, slave ship re-enactments, Monopoly-like games where winning means escaping slavery. But these simulations can be traumatic for students and are shown to be ineffective in helping children learn about slavery. Carbon Taxes Appeal to Economists, but Do They Work? (34:06)Guest: Yoram Bauman, PhD, environmental economist, co-founder of Clean the Darn Air, Standup ComedianThe latest climate change report from the UN is bleak. Without drastic, immediate – and frankly unprecedented - cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures will rise as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century. Six degrees doesn't sound like much when you're thinking about your thermostat at home. But for the planet, it means the oceans become too acidic for coral to survive. Fish die off. Coastal cities flood constantly. Heatwaves become unbearable. Storms become more intense. And Yoram Bauman thinks economics is the answer. Bulletproof Clothing for the Rest of Us (50:27)Guest: Vy Tran, Founder, Wonder Hoodie There were more mass killings in America last year than any other year dating back to at least the 1970s. That's according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. They counted only mass killings where more than four people died, not including the perpetrator. There were 41 such mass killings in 2019 in which more than 210 people died. Most of those were mass shootings. And so, today it's common for schools and churches to have armed guards and do “mass shooter drills.” Vy Tran is taking personal preparation a step further with bullet-proof hoodies and denim jackets meant to be worn by everyday people on the street. Don't Light a Fire on the International Space Station…Unless it's for Science (1:03:06)Guest: Richard Axelbaum, Professor of Environmental Engineering Science, Washington University in St. LouisTo make a fire, you need fuel, heat and oxygen. Since all three are easy to find on Earth, fire is common. But in space, there's no oxygen, so no fire. Except on the International Space Station where astronauts are deliberately setting fires. Why? For science, of course. Companies Have Never Spent So Much on Hiring and They are Doing it All Wrong (1:23:33)Guest: Peter Cappelli, Professor of Management, The Wharton School of Business, University of PennsylvaniaWith the US unemployment rate as low as it's been in decades, companies have to work harder than ever to hire the best talent. On average, the Society for Human Resource Management says the hiring process for each new employee costs around $4,000. And human resources expert Peter Cappelli says a lot of that is money down the train, because companies are doing hiring all wrong.
On today's episode, Dr. Jon Lunde shares with us a construction of a Theology of Sexuality. We also get into the One-Flesh union laid out in scripture and discuss what it means for us.
