Today our guest is Meghan Lawson, Assistant Superintendent at Sycamore Community Schools in Cincinnati, Ohio. We talk about how small, consistent moves can grow collective potential across a school system. Meghan shares the 30-Second Feedback Protocol, a simple strength-based strategy that builds trust, reinforces effective practice, and strengthens culture without adding more to the plate. She highlights how 1% of intentional time can create meaningful impact for teachers, leaders, and students. In this conversation, Meghan offers clear reminders for leaders working to grow culture and capacity: Small, strength-based feedback builds trust faster than deficit-based evaluation. Just 1% of intentional time can meaningfully improve culture and collective potential. Specific cause-and-effect feedback increases the likelihood that effective practices are repeated. People need to hear something positive about their work every seven days to feel that they matter. Learn More About CharacterStrong:  Access FREE MTSS Curriculum Samples Request a Quote Today!

In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, Andrew Easton is joined by Tony Frontier, author of AI With Intention and director of the AI Center for Effective Teaching and Learning. Rather than approaching artificial intelligence as a technical problem to solve, this conversation grounds AI in what educators already know to be true about effective teaching and learning. Tony shares why AI represents an inflection point for the profession—and why this moment demands greater intentionality, not abandonment of core instructional practices. Together, Andrew and Tony explore how AI can either undermine or strengthen learning depending on how it's used, the importance of productive struggle, and what it means to prepare students to use AI as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut. The episode also digs into practical guidance for schools and districts around transparency, explainability, integrity, and creating shared expectations for both teachers and students.

In this episode of Trending in Education, host Mike Palmer sits down with Sunanna Chand, Executive Director of the Reinvention Lab at Teach For America (TFA). As the leader of TFA's future-of-learning R&D engine, Chand is tasked with a formidable challenge: bridging the gap between a 19th-century education system and the demands of the 21st-century world. The conversation explores the Lab's "Radical Departures" framework, a mental model designed to shift the paradigm of how we define the why, what, where, and how of learning. Chand challenges the false dichotomy between academic rigor and student engagement, arguing for a "both/and" approach that prioritizes community achievement over individualized test scores. From exploring "credit flexibility" policies that allow students to learn outside school walls to reimagining the role of the educator in an AI-driven landscape, Chand offers a hopeful vision for a profession rooted in human connection and the "care economy". Key Takeaways Moving Beyond the "Banking Theory": Why the traditional model of a teacher delivering information to passive students is insufficient for a world where information is ubiquitous. Reimagining Chronic Absenteeism: How "present to learning by being absent from school" models allow students to gain graduation credit for interests pursued in their communities. The AI-Proof Profession: Why teaching remains a "smart bet" for the next generation, as neurobiological learning depends on human belonging and relational intelligence. The Educator as Orchestrator: A vision for the future where educators manage ecosystems of human support and AI agents rather than just delivering a curriculum. Why You Should Listen: If you are concerned about the current state of teacher burnout and student disengagement, this episode provides more than just a critique; it offers a roadmap for structural change. Sunanna Chand explains how the Reinvention Lab uses research and development to find the "future educator" and why the most valuable skills in an automated world—judgment, ethics, and care—are precisely those honed in the classroom. It is a deep dive into how we can use technology to reinvent rather than merely optimize an outdated system.

In this episode, Dr. David Wiley joins us to explore how generative AI is reshaping open education. We look at the foundations of open educational resources (OER), what OER-enabled pedagogy makes possible, and why open licensing alone doesn't drive better outcomes without thoughtful instructional design. Dr. Wiley also discusses how generative AI may shift the future of OER toward conversational and adaptive learning experiences, how it can help us get closer to solving Benjamin Bloom's two sigma problem, and where higher education should show both optimism and caution as AI continues to evolve. Arthur Takahashi leads this conversation, offering a grounded look at how faculty and instructional designers can apply these ideas in their work today. Get free access to more of our content, visit our show page for full episodes and additional resources.

Christy Albright + Clarissa Sorensen Unruh share about teaching, learning, and the lessons of grief on episode 596 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Take two deep breaths. -Clarissa Sorensen Unruh None of the books that I researched on grief actually defined grief. It's like they just assumed you knew what it was because it's such a universal experience, but it's not universally experienced by everybody in the same way. -Christy Albright Anticipatory grief is when you know something is coming and you're already grieving that situation. -Christy Albright People assume that grief gets smaller, and actually we grow around it. -Clarissa Sorensen Unruh The big griefs in my life stay forever. -Christy Albright Resources Bonni fact checks her anecdote about birds Fractals: Is Hasan Smarter than a 13-year-old Math Genius Peter Felten: Can We Teach Curiosity?

Greetings Glocal Citizens! As the season of academic studies begins in many institutions across parts of the world, including New York City where I have spent many years working with charter schools to open their doors to children and families, it's a flashback moment for my guest and me to the days when she was first granted a charter to begin her social enterpreneurship journey as a school leader and founder. Dr. Elaine Ruiz Lopez is the Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of the International Leadership Charter High School, a rigorous college prep charter high school in the Bronx, New York where over 95% of its scholars graduate within four years enrolling in the college of their choice. In 2024, she expanded her vision opening a middle school in 2024. Having worked in the field of education since 1980, over ths course of her career she has held various leadership positions in public schools and universities. In 2017, she was one of the recipients of the Distinguished Women Award (Mujeres Destacadas) presented by El Diario, the largest Spanish daily newspaper organization in the country. In 2022 as one of 100 Bronx Power Women. In 2023 she received the Educator of Excellence Award from the Black Latinx Asian Charter Coalition (BLACC). She is a founding member of the Latino Charter Leaders Roundtable and its current Chair. Her first book, The Fight for Equity in the Bronx: Changing Lives and Transforming Communities One Scholar at a Time was published last summer and stands as a testament to years of focusing her vision as a servant leader as well as the manifestation of generations of purpose driven living and adaptating to new shores, creating home in other lands.

HR2 Richard Giordano: Education's Biggest Failure: Teaching Facts Without Teaching Learning. 8-21-25 by John Rush

Will AI change the role of faculty in higher education? In this episode, Dr. Jason Orlosky, associate professor with the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences at Augusta University, joins Arthur Takahashi to reflect on how AI is reshaping academic work—and why human connection remains central to teaching and learning. From navigating new tools to rethinking what only people can do, he offers a clear, encouraging take: AI won't replace faculty, but it may just help us do our jobs better. The conversation also explores Dr. Orlosky's journey from coding an eye-tracking system by hand in 2017 to now completing similar tasks in hours using tools like ChatGPT and Meta's Llama series. They will also discuss the difference between “vibe coding” and AI-assisted programming, the limitations of current models, and the unique challenges AI still can't solve. Oh—and remember Microsoft Word's Clippy? They revisit early AI agents like Microsoft's paperclip assistant to explore what's changed, what's stayed the same, and what the future might hold. If you're wondering how to approach AI in your own academic work—with curiosity, caution, or both—this episode offers practical insights from someone who's actively navigating the frontier. Get free access to more of our content, visit our show page for full episodes and additional resources.

Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Barbara Pape, Senior Director of the Learner Variability Project, about the concept of learner variability. The conversation touches on the importance of recognizing each student's unique strengths and challenges. They explore how educators can support neurodivergent learners through personalized instruction, they cover the role of technology in education, and talk about the need for a sense of belonging in the classroom. The discussion also touches on the barriers educators face in addressing learner variability and the evolution of educational policy to better support diverse learners. TAKEAWAYS Learner variability is the recognition that each student has unique strengths and challenges. Teaching to the middle does not effectively reach any student. Understanding learner variability allows educators to see design challenges rather than student problems. The Learner Variability Navigator is a tool for educators to understand and support diverse learners. Creating a sense of belonging is crucial for student engagement and success. Students should have agency in how their accommodations are presented to peers. Belonging in the classroom requires a whole child approach. Educational policy must evolve to provide adequate support for neurodivergent learners. Barbara Pape is the Senior Director of the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise, where she led a national survey on learner variability, edtech, and teacher practice, authored the defining paper on learner variability, and co-developed the IEP Project, which emphasizes strength-based, whole-child approaches to writing IEPs. She also hosts a monthly edWeb webinar series and previously served as executive producer of the award-winning Teaching & Learning conference for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Her background includes roles in public policy, having worked on former U.S. Senator Paul Simon's Senate and Presidential campaign, as well as in the U.S. Senate on the Education and Labor Committee. Barbara has contributed to numerous publications and was the editor and publisher of the first electronically delivered education newsletter, The Daily Report Card. She serves on the boards of Benetech and The Riley Project and is involved in multiple education and learner variability working groups. Previously, she was an advisor for the Kennedy Center's Intersection of the Arts and Special Education and a strategic planning committee member for Montgomery County Public Schools. She is currently pursuing a PhD at University College London, holds an EdM in reading and literacy from Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, and began her career as a middle school language arts teacher.

Connect with Andy LIFT Architects Monolith by Andy Payne & Panagiotis Michalatos Firefly by Andy Payne & Jason Kelly Johnson Favorite quotes “Nobody wants to spend days and days developing a model. Our job as developers is to make it as easy as possible. […] There's something about the craft and time you spent developing your ideas into a 3D model. There's something about that investment that makes it worthwhile. When you have an easy AI button that makes it for you then it trivializes [the process].” —Andy Payne “Originally the product was called Explicit History, because it was a different approach to Rhino's native (implicit) history feature.” —David Rutten Links Rhinoceros Grasshopper 3D Explicit History Form-Z 3ds Max Slow Food Nation Canopy (2008) Grasshopper Primer by Andy Payne & Rajaa Issa Grasshopper Data Trees Rhino.Compute (Source code) Grasshopper Hops New Grasshopper data types Rhino Core-Hour Billing Visual Programming C-Sharp (C#), Visual Basic (VB) & Python Stable Diffusion, DALL-E & Midjourney Nighthawks by Edward Hopper IKEA effect People mentioned Rajaa Issa · McNeel David Rutten · McNeel Jason Kelly Johnson · FUTUREFORMS Daniel Piker Shelby Doyle Edward Hopper Panagiotis Michalatos Chapters 00:00 · Introduction 00:35 · Andy Payne 04:11 · Grasshopper origins 07:23 · Andy meets Grasshopper 09:19 · Grasshopper Primer 10:26 · Grasshopper 1.0 13:22 · Grasshopper 2 15:11 · Developing Grasshopper 16:59 · New data types 18:57 · Rhino Compute & Hops 22:32 · Cloud billing 27:05 · Teaching 30:07 · Visual programming 36:23 · Open source & monetization 42:03 · McNeel Forum 50:07 · Connect with Andy 51:57 · Learning to code 58:00 · Generative AI 01:02:09 · The IKEA effect 01:05:38 · Authorship 01:08:56 · AI trade-offs 01:12:58 · Panagiotis Michalatos 01:16:02 · Advice for young people 01:17:08 · Success 01:18:35 · $100 or less 01:20:12 · Outro I'd love to hear from you.

Guest John Camp (he goes by Camp) is Head of Teaching & Learning at the New England Innovation Academy, where he oversees the development of systems to recruit, hire, support, and evaluate teachers. He also supports teachers in developing and implementing the curriculum. He's been a leader and a teacher at various schools throughout his 29-year career.  His experience includes English and writing classes and interdisciplinary courses such as “The Art and Physics of Time Travel.” At St. Mark's School, which bestowed him with The Trustees Chair and the Kidder Faculty Prize, Camp served as the Director of Experiential Learning and Associate Director of The Center of Innovation in Teaching and Learning. His pedagogical mantras include, “I aim to teach what cannot be Googled” and “I expect you to work hard, so I work hard.” Summary Our conversation examined how the New England Innovation Academy is shifting the landscape of 6-12 education toward integrating various learning styles and innovative teaching methods. Competency-based assessment was discussed as a promising alternative to traditional tests, emphasizing gauging students' mastery of skills and practical knowledge. The conversation went beyond academics, highlighting the growing importance of student-centered learning and fostering social-emotional development as crucial aspects of education. We also explored the practicalities at the New England Innovation Academy, delving into student workload, school policies, and their innovative practices. A central theme emerged: education is no longer solely about knowledge transmission. Instead, it is vital to nurture well-rounded individuals and promote personal growth through student-centered instructional approaches. This discussion provided valuable insights into the evolving education landscape, where innovation and student success are the driving forces shaping the future of learning.

Links: Olle's blog: https://www.hackingchinese.com/ My blog: imlearningmandarin.com Chinese Masterclasses: https://www.mandarinretreat.com/store/p/masterclasses In today's episode I interview one of my most hotly anticipated guests, the Mandarin educator, blogger and teacher, Olle Linge.  Olle is well known for being the founder of the blog Hacking Chinese. For over a decade, Olle has been drawing on his extensive experience of learning and teaching Chinese to offer tips and advice for other learners. If you've ever googled anything related to learning Mandarin, it's likely you'll have encountered his blog towards the top of the search results.  His own Mandarin journey began all the way back in 2007 when he studied Chinese at university. This was followed by two years  studying in Taiwan, after which he completed a Master of Education in his native Sweden, focusing on teaching Chinese and English.  Olle returned to Taiwan in 2012 for a two-years master's program for teaching Chinese as a second language. And since returning to Sweden in 2014, he's been working mostly at university teaching Chinese and professional development for language teachers. In the interview we had a wide ranging discussion covering his insights into learning tones, criticisms of conventional teaching methods and thoughts on the future of self-directed online language learning at a time when the numbers of people registering on formal Chinese studies courses are in decline globally.

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Tom Rosenbauer, from Manchester Vermont.  Tom has been fly fishing and tying for nearly all his life.  After college he got a job as a retail clerk at Orvis when it was still a small but growing business in Vermont.  Slowly, but surely, Tom's emphasis on teaching and education helped develop him into a leader and educator at both Orvis and within the fly fishing community.   Tom is the author of over twenty fly fishing books, has created too many educational articles and videos to count, and is the host of the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast, with over 12 million downloads.  His efforts have helped untold numbers of anglers on the water, myself included.  Besides the great personal gratitude I have for the resources Tom has put out into the world, perhaps what is most impressive to me is his persistent pursuit of learning and effortless humility.  We discuss what excites Tom about fly fishing these days, his thoughts on the creative process of writing, and exploring the richness of different trout streams.  Tom also shares his ideas on spot burning, catch and release, conservation, and overcrowding.To learn more about Tom and his fly fishing journey visit:Fish On - The Tom Rosenbauer StoryFor more fly fishing stories, lessons learned, and artwork check out my blog and online gallery at Wadeoutthere.com
