What if the leadership crisis everyone's talking about isn't a talent problem—but a systems problem? In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Muriel Summers, founding principal of the first Leader in Me school and a global voice in transforming how schools think about leadership. From her work at A.B. Combs Elementary—twice named the top magnet school in America—to influencing thousands of schools worldwide, Muriel has helped redefine what leadership actually looks like in K–12 education. Missed part 1? Catch it here.  We dig into a bold idea: leadership isn't a title or a personality trait—it's a set of habits that can be taught, practiced, and lived by every student. In a time when schools are navigating staff shortages, budget pressures, and questions about student readiness, this conversation challenges the idea that leadership development is "extra." Instead, it makes the case that it's foundational. Muriel shares real stories, hard truths, and practical insight on how schools can move beyond surface-level student voice and build cultures where every kid sees themselves as a leader. If you've ever wondered why students disengage—or what it really takes to prepare them for life beyond school—this episode will push your thinking in all the right ways.

What happens in early childhood classrooms doesn't stay there—it shows up every day in K–12 schools. In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Robert Cordero and Tara Gardner to unpack what "universal child care" in New York City really means—not just as a policy idea, but as a lived reality for families, providers, and educators. If you missed part one, check it out here.  We dig into why child care has become both a moral and economic imperative in a city shaped by poverty, workforce demands, and persistent child care deserts. From recent investments and pilot programs to the deeper structural challenges beneath them, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's working—and what isn't. At the center of it all is a workforce crisis: tens of thousands of educators needed, a system heavily reliant on underpaid Black and Brown women, and a widening gap between Department of Education salaries and community-based providers. We wrestle with the uncomfortable question—can you build a "universal" system on an inequitable foundation? We also explore potential solutions, from free higher education pathways to the hard realities of funding, staffing, and political will. And finally, we zoom out: where is New York leading the way, where is it falling short, and what truths do we still need to confront if we want a system that truly supports children, families, and the educators who serve them? This episode challenges educators to see child care not as a separate issue—but as the foundation everything else is built on.

What happens after we name the problem—but still aren't sure what to do about it? In Part 2 of this conversation on Teach Me, Teacher, I continue my discussion with Jacob Adams, founder and executive director of Inner Spark Learning Lab, moving from diagnosis into action. If Part 1 unpacked the Disconnection Crisis in education, this episode is about what it actually looks like to respond to it inside real schools, with real constraints. We go deeper into the practical side of building connection—not as a buzzword, but as a design principle. Jacob shares concrete ways schools can begin shifting culture, from rethinking daily structures and adult-student interactions to creating spaces where student voice isn't just heard, but shapes the experience of learning. This isn't about adding another initiative. It's about fundamentally reworking how schools operate so that connection becomes the foundation, not the afterthought. We also wrestle with the tension educators feel every day: how do you prioritize relationships and relevance in systems still driven by compliance, testing, and outcomes? What can teachers and leaders actually do tomorrow, even if the larger system hasn't changed yet? If you found yourself nodding along in Part 1, this episode gives you a place to start. It's honest about the challenges, but grounded in real examples of what's possible when schools commit to going deeper instead of just doing more. Because if disconnection is the root issue, then the work ahead isn't just to understand it—it's to rebuild something better in its place.

What happens when the biggest problems in education—chronic absenteeism, failing grades, teacher burnout, and families leaving schools—aren't actually the core issues at all? In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Jacob Adams, founder and executive director of Inner Spark Learning Lab, to explore what he calls the Disconnection Crisis in education. Check out their Inside Out Summit. March 19- 9:00-1:00 PT. Free virtual conference for folks who want to transform education from the inside out. For years, schools have chased outcomes—attendance rates, test scores, graduation numbers—while layering on interventions meant to fix them. But what if those outcomes are only symptoms of something deeper? Jacob argues that underneath many of the challenges educators face today is a growing sense of disconnection between students, families, educators, and the institutions meant to serve them. Drawing from nearly a decade of work with more than 40,000 Black and Brown young people in South Central and East Los Angeles, Jacob shares how his organization has focused not on scaling fast, but on going deep—rethinking learning environments from inside existing schools. The work centers on a simple but powerful idea: if students don't feel connected to their school, no intervention will stick. Throughout the conversation, we dig into why so many well-intentioned reforms fall short, what educators often miss when trying to improve student outcomes, and how shifting the focus from "fixing students" to redesigning the learning environment can transform the culture of a school. Jacob also challenges some of the dominant narratives in education reform, pushing us to ask whether we're even asking the right questions in the first place. Instead of focusing solely on performance metrics, what might happen if we prioritized relevance, relationships, and student voice? For educators feeling the strain of the current moment, this episode offers both a critique of the systems we work within and a hopeful look at what schools could become when connection moves to the center of the work. If we want schools to truly work for students, families, and teachers, the real question might not be how we fix outcomes—but how we rebuild connection. Listen in.

Send a textDeuteronomy 10–11 teaches that fearing the Lord means recognizing His greatness and responding with humble obedience. The Lord owns heaven and earth, yet He chose Israel out of His covenant love, not because of their righteousness. God calls His people to love Him, walk in His ways, and serve Him with all their heart and soul. Remembering their deliverance from Egypt, they are commanded to show justice and compassion to the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger. These chapters reveal that true fear of the Lord produces humility, obedience, and faithful love.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

Send a textThe book of Exodus reveals God's covenant faithfulness as He delivers Israel from slavery and forms them into His people. Despite Israel's constant grumbling, God remains faithful to His promises, providing redemption through a mediator.

This week on Teach Me, Teacher, Jacob sits down with lifelong educator and friend Pam Ochoa — former cohost of the Craft & Draft podcast — who has stepped back into the high school classroom after retirement. Why now? What pulled her back? Together, they wrestle with big questions facing the profession: Where has quality professional development gone? Has the era of student voice and choice quietly faded? And what happens to schools when the champions of that work leave? Jacob and Pam dig into real data from schools where student voice and choice once thrived — and examine what happened after they stepped away. The results are sobering. This is part 2 of the discussion from last week. This is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation about leadership, sustainability, and whether we're losing something essential in today's classrooms. If you care about student agency, teacher autonomy, and the future of the profession — this episode is for you.

Send a textDeuteronomy 8–9 warns Israel not to forget the Lord as they enter prosperity in the Promised Land. God humbled them in the wilderness to teach that life comes from His word, not from bread alone. Moses reminds them they were not chosen because of their righteousness, but because of God's covenant faithfulness. These chapters show that obedience and rebellion affect the whole community, calling God's people to remember His grace, reject pride, and remain faithful to Him.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

Is The Greatest Shift in Christian Theology Going From Heaven to Earth?   Heaven isn't the point of the gospel—and N.T. Wright challenges the "accept Jesus and escape earth" narrative of Christianity. Curtis Chang talks with Wright, leading theologian and prolific author, about New Creation and his latest book God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal, asking whether the Bible's promise is the Kingdom of God on earth—or simply going to heaven when you die. They examine the "royal priesthood" calling, what this means for life after death and suffering now, and the true purpose of Christian faith.   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Learn more about George Fox Talks Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   03:43 - The Continuity Between Old and New Testaments 05:05 - Reject Platonism and Embracing New Creation? 08:04 - A Vision More Demanding Than The "Ticket To Heaven" Gospel 13:48 - What Does This Mean For Grace, Works, and Human Vocation? 19:53 - Divergence on the Meaning of The Kingdom of God 27:24 - The Problem of Evil and the "Now and Not Yet" 34:59 - A Pastoral Response to Heaven-Focused Theology 40:41 - How Are Heaven and Earth Interlocking Realities? 47:59 - The Royal Priesthood: Humanity's Biblical Mandate 51:47 - Tom Wright's Future Projects and Reflections   Scriptures: Revelation 5:9-10 (ESV) - kingdom + priests reign on the earth Exodus 19:6; Deuteronomy 7:6; 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) - royal priesthood Genesis 1-2 (ESV) - creation "very good"; humanity's vocation Revelation 21–22 (ESV) - new heaven/new earth; God dwelling with humanity Romans 12:2 (ESV) - renewing of the mind Romans 8:21–23 (ESV) - creation set free; redemption of bodies Malachi 3:1 + Isaiah 40:3 (ESV) - prepare the way; the Lord coming to his temple Psalm 8 (ESV) - humanity crowned with glory/honor; vocation Ephesians 4 (ESV) - new humanity; community ethics   Mentioned in This Episode: N.T.
