In the 1830s, Rev. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet's method of teaching reading to deaf children was evolutionary and became inviting enough that the then secretary of education, Horace Munn, adopted to teaching it to neurotypical children; the logic being, if the teaching strategy works for the deaf it must work wonders for all. It wasn't until much later that that it was discovered how ill-fitted such an extrapolation was. For far too long the culture has harbored a dreamy notion that gifted teachers are born and not made and they turn naive children into the learned ones with some magical powers and the techniques involved in teaching are a matter of personal will. What if that's simply a myth?On this episode, author, journalist, and CEO and co-founder of Chalkbeat, Elizabeth Green, discusses that becoming a great teacher is attainable to all through the mastery of specific learned key skills unique to the profession of teaching. As Thomas Jefferson warned us, “we cannot be a powerful nation and illiterate too”; we must acknowledge the dazzling intellectual challenge teaching poses and prepare accordingly.About Elizabeth GreenElizabeth Green is the CEO and co-founder of Chalkbeat, the nonprofit news organization dedicated to improving educational equity through local, independent, high-impact journalism. Since launching in 2014, Chalkbeat's reporting has spurred changes in education funding, legislation, policy, and practice and is regularly cited or republished in dozens of publications, including The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, Vox, and more. Elizabeth also co-founded the American Journalism Project, the first venture philanthropy firm dedicated to local news. Her book Building a Better Teacher was a New York Times bestseller and notable book of 2014. She has also written about education issues for The New York Times Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and other publications. Elizabeth has been a Spencer Fellow in education journalism at Columbia University and an Abe Journalism Fellow studying education in Japan.

11 Questions That May Change Your Life: http://www.clarkdanger.com/download/ (CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE FULL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE) Let's talk about getting rich. What do the rich teach their kids about money? Today’s book summary and book review: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This book is one of the most successful finance books out there. Robert Kiyosaki's classic wealth income and money making off real estate book, Rich Dad Poor Dad is packed full of actionable ideas and take aways. You might also consider getting the full book or audiobook for this – it’s killer! Here are the best 10 ideas from “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki FULL BLOG POST: (coming soon) GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2ap2EPd BIG 10 IDEAS (2:30) 1. MODELS FOR WEALTH The book focuses mostly on the education and financial learned from his rich dad. We all have models for wealth. Money / Beliefs are LEARNED growing up - most the time not consciously. Become conscious of our beliefs / models in order to change them. (4:20) 2. YOU’RE BROKE, NOT POOR “Being broke is temporary - being poor is eternal” -RK Even if you don't have money now, view yourself as broke, NOT poor. (5:20) 3. FINICAL FREEDOM “The poor and middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.” We have two options in life: 1. Work hard, pay taxes, save what little is left over, then get taxed on the savings (sounds fun). 2. Invest in our financial IQ and use it to create assets that allow us to achieve finical freedom. The rich ALL take option 02. The rich don’t work for money. (7:50) 4. FINICAL IQ Schools teach how to work in a job. Not how to get rich. EX: You get more money - spend it all. Money is a “X” multiplier for whatever going in your head already. Athletes who get GIANT contracts (no finical IQ) now bankrupt. EX: Lap band surgery for fat person - don’t change mindset / habits = gain ALL back. Solution? NEED to increase our Finical IQ Finical IQ composed: ACCOUNTING:understand financial statements. INVESTING: The science of money making money. UNDERSTANDING MARKETS: supply and demand; technical (emotion-driven) and fundamental (economic sense) investments LAW: Understanding taxes / avoiding lawsuits. (11:10) 5. E.B.S.I. EBSI: Employee / Business Owner / Self Employed / Investor Four possible paths for us (can be a mix of all.) (12:40) 6. ASSETS "Know what an asset is, acquire them and become rich.” BIG IDEA: For most people, their profession is their income. For rich people, their assets are their income. ASSETS ARE: Businesses, Stocks, Bonds, Mutual funds, Income-generating real estate, Royalties, Anything which appreciates in value over time (15:00) 7. LIABILITIES and a liability, something which takes money out of your pocket. Keep your expenses low and reduce your liabilities. Learn to live off of 75% of your paycheck. Favorite advice: “Grow your income not your lifestyle.” (16:10) 8. POWER OF COMPOUNDING VIDEO SOURECE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=immQX... Why the 1% get richer. Look into the power of compounding. Einstein: Compounding is the 8th wonder of world (16:50) 9. PAY YOURSELF FIRST Pay yourself first. Before you pay your bills each month. Save 10%. MY TIP: If there's ice cream in freezer, it WILL get eaten. Separate bank account for this 10% money. Automatic withdrawal from paycheck. (19:00) 10. GETTING STARTED: TEN ACTION STEPS Be VERY clear here: NOT giving personal finical advice - not qualified for that. telling you what I am doing / what is recommended in this book. 1. Learn about investing before you invest. 2. Every dollar is plus one or minus one. 3. Learn to live on 75% of your paycheck. 4. Pay yourself first. 5. Choose friends careful. Who you hang around avg of top 5. 6. Always ask “How fast do I get my money back?” 7. MINT.COM 8. CHARLES SCHWAB INDEX 9. MONEY MASTER THE GAME (read this book) 10.

We've all had great teachers who opened our minds — and maybe even changed our lives. But how can we make every teacher a star teacher? Elizabeth Green's New York Times best-selling book 'Building a Better Teacher: How Teaching Works (and How to Teach It to Everyone)' presents teaching as a complex skill — one that requires infrastructure for support and training. She gives examples of the methods America's best educators are using in the classroom, as well as how Japan's education system has adopted policies that have changed teachers across the country. Green discusses her book with Stanford University's renowned mathematics education professor Jo Boaler. Boaler is co-founder of YouCubed, and online resource for educators and families.

Her book, Building a Better Teacher, will be published in August 2014 by W. W. Norton. About Building a Better Teacher: How Teaching Works (and How to Teach It to Everyone) What happens in the classroom of a great teacher? Opening with a moment-by-moment portrait of an everyday math lesson—a drama of urgent decisions and artful maneuvers—Building a Better Teacher demonstrates the unexpected complexity of teaching. Green focuses on the questions that really matter: How do we prepare teachers and what should they know before they enter the classroom? How does one get young minds to reason, conjecture, prove, and understand? What are the keys to good discipline? Incorporating new research from cognitive psychologists and education specialists as well as intrepid classroom entrepreneurs, Green provides a new way for parents to judge what their children need in the classroom and considers how to scale good ideas. Ultimately, Green discovers that good teaching is a skill. A skill that can be taught. Get the book In this episode you will learn: the research Elizabeth did for Building a Better Teacher the common habits of successful teachers how developing teachers can improve themselves ways in which schools can develop their teachers on a large scale how technology can help and hinder teachers how little good teaching has changed over the years Connect with Elizabeth Green at: @elizwgreen Follow Chalk Beat -- the news site covering educational change The post Building a Better Teacher with Elizabeth Green appeared first on Talks with Teachers.
