Tony Wagner is one of the world's most respected and distinguished Educational thinkers. Where the names of John Dewey, John Holt, Piaget, Wigginton and others have been on the lips of prospective teachers and educators in the past, today, and in future years Tony Wagner's name will be joined with them. Why? Because Tony Wagner, for more than 20 years has been urging and cajoling political, economic and educational leaders, as well as citizens, to recognize that rethinking education in this age of innovations is urgently needed. Not simply reform of the outdated “seat-time” model we have employed for generations but a recognition that the world has changed and our system for educating citizens and entrepreneurs must reflect the new world in which we live.You'll understand after listening why I wanted to speak with Tony for this special edition of our “Rediscovering Our Song” series. As you might guess, I am an enthusiastic proponent of Tony Wagner's ideas. I think after listening to this podcast, and following some of the links on our show notes to learn more, you will be as well.

What Steven Lopez likes about choice and student lead activities is that it allows his students to bring their interests, hobbies, abilities and passions into the classroom and the community. Steven walks us through what he does and shares examples of several units. (See the show notes) While giving choice to students can seem overwhelming, Steven makes it manageable and, bonus points, more interesting to grade.

Tony Wagner is a globally-recognized expert who is currently a senior research fellow at the Learning Policy Institute founded by Linda Darling-Hammond in 2015. Prior to that, he held a variety of positions at Harvard University for more than twenty years, including a few years as the expert in residence at the Harvard Innovation Lab and the founder and co-director for more than a decade at the Change Leadership Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.In his latest book Learning By Heart, Tony gives an autobiographical telling of his unconventional educational journey. His background was of hating school. He dropped out of high school, and after going back to get his degree dropped out of college twice. His experience with school, along with getting deeply involved in the 60s political movement, led to two realizations: That he wanted to make a difference in the world, and that education needed to be completely reinvented. We talk about what that reinvention looks like, and how a shift to mastery-based education can prepare students for the world after school.To learn more, visit: pastfoundation.orgWe unbox:Shifting the focus of education from time served to masteryWhat's at stake if we don't make radical changes to our education systemHow legislation can free up educators to innovate by removing testing requirementsBreaking down the content barriersHow to find room and space for innovation in your classroom todayResources:Learn more: tonywagner.comTwitter: @DrTonyWagnerRead: Learning By HeartMentioned in this episode:Learning Unboxed Audience SurveyThank you for listening to Learning Unboxed!

Thời khóa biểu gấp gáp, chương trình học rời rạc, việc học tập chủ yếu được thể hiện bằng việc “thuộc lòng” những bài giảng của giáo viên vẫn còn là những thực tế đáng buồn trong các trường học. Tỉ lệ trẻ vị thành niên mắc các vấn đề tâm lý do áp lực học tập tăng nhanh trong vài năm gần đây khiến người ta đặt câu hỏi ý nghĩa hay giá trị thực sự của trường học là gì?Để trả lời cho những câu hỏi đó, chuyên gia giáo dục Tony Wagner đã tiến hành nghiên cứu các trường học ở Mỹ và đúc kết bằng thông điệp: Ý nghĩa thực sự của trường học là tạo ra những con người có khả năng đạt được thành công và hạnh phúc trong cuộc sống thực, không phải là điểm số hay thứ hạng cao trong các kỳ thi. Thông điệp này được ông thể hiện xuyên suốt trong cuốn sách Bài Học Giáo Dục Từ Nước Mỹ. Cuốn sách là câu chuyện đầy lôi cuốn và ý nghĩa về cách thức các trường trung học của nước Mỹ vượt qua thách thức đến từ những biến đổi nhanh chóng của thế giới và của nội tại quốc gia. --Về Fonos:Fonos là ứng dụng sách nói có bản quyền.

“Tuned In” to the Future with Tony WagnerA surprise package arrived at 11-year-old Tony Wagner's house that permanently impacted his understanding of learning. Decades later, after a career that included twenty years of thought leadership at Harvard University and multiple best-selling books on school reform, Wagner connects the dots to the essential 21st century skills our schools are missing. Tony Wagner is one of the nation's leading educational reformers. His books·      The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need- And What We Can Do About It·      Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World·      Most Likely To Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Eramake the case for modernizing schools to focus on innovation and creative problem-solving skills. In our conversation he shares the learning experiences that shaped him and the challenges that our schools face as they try to prepare young people for a rapidly changing world.We cover a lot of territory including:3:15 The experience that forever changed 11-year-old Tony6:50 Persistence creates a EUREKA moment!8:15 Failure---Persistence---Curiosity---Learning9:50 The genesis of Tony's writing career11:35 Tony's writing teacher who wasn't really his teacher13:38 The piece of classic literature that provided Tony's “a-ha moment”15:15 The difference between Tony and Daniel Pink as students17:10 Reflecting on Ted Sizer's Coalition of Essential Schools reform movement19:58 The destructive impact of standardized testing20:35 The stunning insights from conversations with business and military leaders22:25 How schools kill innovation thinking24:38 Why innovation and creative problem solving are so essential26:17 A simple suggestion for teachers to nurture creativity28:18 The tremendous damage of the accountability movement30:43 The future of schools and the need for business leaders to speak out32:40 Play, Passion, and Purpose Tony Wagner's Website: https://www.tonywagner.comTony's Books: https://www.tonywagner.com/books My favorite Tony Wagner quotes (discussed at 22:16)·      "Not only are we not developing and cultivating creative geniuses in our schools, we may actually be doing the opposite."·      "The culture of schooling is radically at odds with the culture of learning that creates innovators."About Experience MattersExperience Matters with Steve Shapiro invites guests to reflect on the most profound learning experiences of their youth and to consider how we can reform American schools. Each episode provides clues about how parents and educators alike can engage young people in powerful, sometimes transformational experiential learning. Education can take many forms, but whatever form it takes- experience matters.

The traditional notion is that schools are failing and they need “reforming.” But our guest believes that our education system is obsolete and needs re-imaging. Why? Because our education systems were created at the Dawn of the Industrial Era, and we no longer live in the Industrial Era. Tony Wagner is at the Learning Policy Institute, and he's also been at Harvard University and a number of other institutions. He also published a memoir last year called “Learning by Heart: An Unconventional Education.”In this episode we look at the modern education system from all angles;, how can we teach teachers, the future of microcredentials and how can parents embrace education at home.Episode QuotesIs learning content the most important thing anymore?:In the 21st century, content knowledge still matters. In a world where Google knows everything, it's a different kind of content that matters. Skills matter more, I argue in the innovation era, and motivation matters most.How creativity gets squashed out of kids:What happens in school, fewer and fewer think of themselves as creative in any way. It's something that happens off there in the corner, in a niche for just a few kids. And kids become obsessed with getting the right answer rather than asking their own questions. You don't have to take a creativity test to see this, you see it every day in classrooms, Greg. Kids aren't asking questions. They don't have time, they're not encouraged. If it's a question, it's -“ will this be on the test?” or “how much does this count towards my grade?”, which is what we're teaching in school.How will we change the current education system?:The challenge is, if we're going to get shaken out of our usual way of doing things at any of these levels, there has to be a sense of urgency. And that has to be created by leaders. Show Links:Guest Profile:Professional Profile at Learning Policy InstituteTony Wagner's Website Tony Wagner on LinkedinTony Wagner on TwitterTony Wagner at TEDxNYEDHis work:Tony Wagner's BlogLearning by Heart: An Unconventional EducationMost Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation EraCreating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the WorldThe Global Achievement Gap: Why Our Kids Don't Have the Skills They Need for College, Careers, and Citizenship -- and What We Can Do About ItChange Leadership: A Practical Guide to Transforming Our Schools

https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-home/directory/clair-keene (Dr. Clair Keene) joins us to talk about both intercropping and incorporating pulses into an organic rotation. At the time of our interview, Clair was the extension specialist in cropping systems at the Williston Research Extension Center where she supported farmers directly as well as conducted research and extension outreach with county agents and other stakeholders. Since that time her title has changed to assistant professor and agronomist at North Dakota State University, but her research interests remain in crop rotation, weed management, cover crops, soil health, organic agriculture, and perennial forages.  We're going to talk about the intercropping work Clair has participated in as well as some of her efforts to help farmers that want to transition to organic systems in the state. Clair does a great job of blending the agronomic and economic considerations in this episode.  “Farmers that have grown chickpea with flax, say that they don't see as much ascochyta in their fields. They don't need to spray as often. So they see it as a really important disease management tool. And so I wanted to do the small plot work. Let's see if we can ideally try to figure out why, why does it work?” - Dr. Clair Keene Intercropping is the act of growing two different crops that are generally planted and harvested at the same time. We've discussed it on a few different episodes in the past, including https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/episode/intercropping (episode 10) of season one with Lana Shaw, https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/episode/including-pulses-in-a-rotation-to-build-soil-health-with-tony-wagner (episode 6) of season two with Tony Wagner, and in a special https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/episode/bonus-intercropping-panel (intercropping bonus episode). Intercropping provides benefits such as disease suppression, dry down, and harvestability in some cases. As with everything, it's going to be very dependent on your situation, but Clair does see potential with the chickpea/flax and the canola/pea intercrop combinations specifically.  “If we can reduce the need for fungicide use, reduce the number of fungicide applications, that's probably the fastest way to reduce chickpea cost of production or at least that I'm aware of.” - Dr. Clair Keene This Week on https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/ (Growing Pulse Crops): Meet https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-home/directory/clair-keene (Dr. Clair Keene) assistant professor and agronomist at North Dakota State University Explore her research involving intercropping with pulse crops and best practices for disease management and ease of harvest Discover additional considerations with regard to organic production Growing Pulse Crops Podcast is hosted by https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhammerich/ (Tim Hammerich) of the http://www.futureofag.com (Future of Agriculture Podcast).

The schooling of American children is marred by our notions that hard and long hours of classroom learning is a defining feature of K-12 school success even though such environments lack a playful approach to learning or room for imaginative interactions with the world. In their book Out of My Skull, Neuroscientists James Danckert & John D. Eastwood write, “When we have a sense of meaning and purpose in life, options for engagement with the world are evident and compelling.” So if we know this about schooling, learning, and engagement then why is it so hard for us to pivot?  On this episode, globally recognized voice in education, Senior Research Fellow at the Learning Policy Institute, and author of many books including a memoir, Learning By Heart: An Unconventional Education, Tony Wagner, Ph.D. discusses how his own childhood learning experiences that were neither pleasant nor rewarding failed to channel his natural curiosity and what it took for him to find his way back to flourishing as a life-long learner.About Tony WagnerA globally recognized voice in education, Tony Wagner currently serves as a Senior Research Fellow at the Learning Policy Institute, founded by Linda Darling-Hammond in 2015.

From the deck of the home that Tony and PJ Wagner share on the shores of Squam Lake in New Hampshire you can hear the Loons calling at night. The long lonely call of a Loon is a haunting and beautiful metaphor for the life that Tony has lived as he has developed an educational philosophy and framework. Lonely because Tony has surely felt alone at times as he has navigated the change-averse educational establishment attempting to map out a vision of what a 21st Century education should look like; long because his ideas, musings, and theories will surely continue to echo well into the future.Tony Wagner is an eminent education specialist: he has taught at every grade level from high school through graduate school; worked at Harvard; done significant work for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and speaks across the country and all over the world.

Tony Wagner's Mowglis experience played a critical role in his life, helping him develop into one of the most important forces in re-imaging education for the 21st century.Over a lifetime of teaching, experimenting, and refining his ideas, Tony has developed a very cogent and imaginative philosophy about what educational models can be employed to create innovative and independent life long learners. Tony Wagner today is viewed as one of the most important thinkers in the field of education.

For the past 15 years, Tony Wagner has been on a journey to improve the soil health of his farmland, which runs the gamut from sandy to high clay. He's located about 100 miles west of Fargo, so farther east than a lot of the North Dakota pulse growers, but he says they've worked well in his rotation. Tony shares how he got into pulses, why he's stuck with them, how they fit into building soil health, and a really interesting project of planting peas with flax as a companion crop to try to keep them off the ground. Tony also talks about attempting two crops of peas in the same field. While the second crop succumbed to unexpected weather conditions, he was impressed with the benefit to the soil despite not having a harvestable second pea crop. “The next year we put spring wheat on that ground and we pulled off on that type of soil, which is a very light soil, probably the best wheat that we've ever pulled off. And we did a soil test on it and the nitrogen was pretty high on that soil. So we decided to slowly start working into cover crops.” - Tony Wagner Tony has continued to experiment with cover crops including with different varieties to see what provides the most benefit to his operation. Along with nitrogen benefits, he has observed much less wind and water erosion, improvement in areas of high salinity and better water infiltration. Tony admits that the benefits aren't always easy to pencil and can take years to accumulate the advantages they offer. With decreased water requirements, decreased inputs and improved soil health, he is hooked and will continue his journey with cover crops and pulse crops.  “From where I started off at, I wish I would have taken a picture. It literally didn't feel like we were getting anywhere at all. That was the biggest eye-opener. And now, I've got that drive to just keep doing what we're doing because visually it's working.” - Tony Wagner One of the more recent practices Tony has been using was incorporating flax as a companion crop in with his field peas. He chose flax since the pre-emergence chemicals used are the same as field peas and would allow him to not spray anything after emergence. Field peas were prioritized at seeding with depths and rates optimized for their production. The flax companion crop did work and helped the peas stand but unfortunately the flax grew too well and would not die at time of harvest while the peas did. Tony says he would like to attempt this trial again but will look at different varieties going forward to see if the maturity timing can be better coordinated. This Week on https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/ (Growing Pulse Crops): Tony Wagner is a North Dakota farmer who joins us to explain his journey into pulse and cover crops Discover the many benefits Tony has been able to realize on his operation with these practices Explore the many varieties Tony has tried and what has been most successful for him Growing Pulse Crops Podcast is hosted by https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhammerich/ (Tim Hammerich) of the http://www.futureofag.com (Future of Agriculture Podcast).

This week’s episode is one that I have been looking forward to sharing with you. When I first started this podcast over a year ago, I drafted a “wish list” of guests I’d like to interview. Tony Wagner was one of the names at the top of that list. When I reached out to him to invite him on the show, he accepted my invitation without hesitation. I first learned of Tony Wagner years ago when I read several of his best-selling books: Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids For The Innovation Era; Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change The World; and The Global Achievement Gap. And recently, I had the pleasure of reading Tony’s newest book, Learning By Heart: An Unconventional Education, a memoir about his journey through life and education. During our conversation, Tony shares the list of the Seven Survival Skills that he cultivated through interviews with executives over a two year period. We talk about why test scores don’t matter and why mastery does. Throughout our conversation, Tony offers lots of valuable insight and actionable tips for parents of teens. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

#VN 96 🎙 4 februarie 2021 cu Dragoș Pătraru Episodul #96 este despre educație și despre cât de rău a ajuns sistemul educațional al țării noastre. De la abandonul școlar la bursele execrabile ale elevilor și până la incapabilitatea executivului de a renova școlile în timpul în care copiii au „învățat” de acasă, totul ajunge să pară un plan bine pus la punct de a îngropa cu totul sistemul educațional și de a îl ține acolo. Dragoș explică pe larg motivele, arătând vinovații. Audiție plăcută! -------------------------------- Recomandări/Contrarecomandări: 📖 Învață cu inima.

Innovation in the Classroom Classroom innovation stems from teachers and students working together to pursue subjects that excite students to learn. Examples include allowing students to design robots and make documentaries about local landmarks. In the age of Zoom learning, keeping students engaged by letting them solve community problems or pursue independent learning goals will achieve much more than endless worksheets and standardized test prep. Standards V. Standardized Tests Implementing and upholding academic standards are not the same as demanding high scores on standardized tests. Engaging and exciting students about a topic should be the focus, like teaching students to think critically like scientists. Information retention rates are abysmal when the emphasis is to just regurgitate scientific facts for a test. Other basic standards should include knowing how democracy works, reading, writing, and thinking critically. High School Education A high school education should prepare all Americans for a life of civic and economic success. Our current education system fails to deliver this promise, which has resulted in many of our current social problems. Maintaining a functioning and thriving democracy requires high-quality education that equips students with pragmatic life and civic engagement skills.

What are the keys to purpose-driven learning and how does that lead to purpose-driving living? Is there hope of rethinking and evolving our often passion-less approach to institutional education in light of the deficiencies revealed by the pandemic? My guest for this episode is Adam Moreno, a mission-driven educator, writer, speaker and trainer whose journey from an aspiring Broadway star to drama teacher led him to some poignant insights about how to tap into the INNATE intrinsic drive in students to learn and grow. He's now a sought-after trainer, speaker, and blogger and his book on the keys to purpose-driven learning is set to publish (fingers crossed) in 2021. His bi-weekly Twitter chat at #UnlockPDL is a forum for other educators to tap into Adam's vision, expertise, and enthusiasm for purpose-driven learning. Stay tuned to the end for a wonderful bonus discussion on Adam's favorites in the Musicals genre, including an unexpected hot take or two!

Tony Wagner, educator and author of several books, most recently his memoir Learning by Heart, joins us this week for a closer look at what really makes a difference in the education of teens. What makes the greatest positive impact on students? How an unconventional education can be advantageous?

People often ask for advice on how to lead in a given situation, what leadership means, or one tip they can improve their leadership with. Nearly none of the questions help someone improve their leadership.The most useful question I can think of is: How do I learn to lead? In other words, what steps can I take to learn to lead?No leader would answer: read a lot of books, magazine articles, or journal articles. Nor would they suggest discussing case studies of other people's experiences, write papers, listen to lectures, or take tests.They'd probably say something about getting experience, especially related to leadership, not sitting in a classroom. What experience, though? Only random life experience, hoping it will help?Learning the social and emotional skills underlying leadership may once have meant shots in the dark. No longer. Project-based, active, experiential learning teaches these skills as reliably and predictably as playing scales teaches piano and hitting ground strokes teaches tennis.I learned of Tony Wagner and his work through his appearances in a documentary movie on that type of learning, mainly in US K-12 schools, called Most Likely to Succeed, based on a book he co-wrote of the same title. I had started learning to teach that way. The movie accelerated my learning and expanded my horizons.Leadership and teaching this style overlap. You will benefit from learning this style of learning whether you teach or have kids or not. Hearing Tony speak of it will show you it's importance and accelerate your learning. You'll lead yourself and others better.We start by him sharing problems with education. You'll likely be able to read between the lines on our ineffective leadership in politics, business, and especially relevant to the environment. Current education focuses on facts and analysis, not skills. It produces would-be leaders who focus on facts and analysis who create plans they lack the skills to implement, if they even create implementable plans.If you haven't acted, you don't know what you're talking about regarding leading, yet people trained in the mainstream style consider themselves experts. It happens to all of us, all the more the less we know how to learn how Tony shows.What's causing environmental problems isn't lack of knowledge or facts, but acting effectively to engage others. Tony talks about what we don't teach and what we could teach---things missing from many areas in life as people seek compliance through coercion. I see scientists trying to influence legislators by bypassing the public---a process they decry others for doing in the other direction.They think they're right. They may be, but they're trying to bypass democracy. Do they not see the problem? People who disagree think they're right too.When Tony says education, I recommend substituting leadership. In nearly each case, what he says applies equally.I recommend reading his books (listed here) and watching Most Likely to Succeed, especially if you have kids or interact with other people.

We typically highlight a few of the most interesting quotes from the podcast - by which we seek to tempt you to listen. Tony Wagner is the kind of guest who makes us want to dangle the entire transcript in front of our audience. Everything he says deserves to be a featured quote. As one of the most cutting edge thinkers in innovation and leadership, and a globally recognized voice in education, Tony Wagner is a Senior Research Fellow at the Learning Policy Institute. He comes to us after twenty years at Harvard, and he worked as a high school teacher, principal, and university professor. He is the founding executive director of Educators for Social Responsibility, and has published six books: Most Likely To Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for The Innovation Era, co-authored by Ted Dintersmith; Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change The World; and The Global Achievement Gap. In this podcast, he goes to the heart of the problem faced by schools and parents today and gently leads us forward with an understanding of the magnitude of change he is proposing, what it will take to make it happen, and the paradigm shift we will see if we can persist through the challenges. Let’s listen...Quotes:02:27 “The world simply doesn’t care what our students know anymore, because Google knows everything. What the world cares about is what our students can do with what they know. We live in the innovation era now.” 04:21 “We are born curious, creative, imaginative; that’s the human DNA. The longer kids stay in school, the less curious they become.” 06:08 “The first starting point is to help adults in your school community - both parents and teachers - to understand the nature of a changing world. That’s the first job of a leader.”09:09 “Too often, leaders feel pressured to provide the answers. (Instead, teachers) need to feel empowered to find better solutions.” 16:16 “In the world of innovation, it’s - fail early, fail often, fail fast, fail forward, fail cheap, but FAIL and learn from failure.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Tony’s books on Amazon - including his soon to be published memoir, Learning by Heart - https://www.amazon.com/Tony-Wagner/e/B001H6OMJ6%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share“The Finland Phenomenon” - http://www.tonywagner.com/the-finnish-phenomenon-inside-the-worlds-most-surprising-school-system-a-great-resource-now-available/All Together Now by Suzi Boss - https://www.suzieboss.com/The Hewlett Foundation - https://hewlett.org/Mastery Transcript Consortium - https://mastery.org/Measures of Effective Teaching Project, The Gates Foundation - https://www.gatesfoundation.org/media-center/press-releases/2013/01/measures-of-effective-teaching-project-releases-final-research-reportWhere to learn more about the guest:Website - http://www.tonywagner.com/Tony at Linkedin - linkedin.com/in/tony-wagner-9b53aa7Twitter - DrTonyWagnerWhere to learn more about Enrollhand:Website: www.enrollhand.comOur webinar:

  Ted Dintersmith discusses his book What School Could Be: Insights and Inspiration From Teachers Across America (2018) on episode 262 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast for educators. Ted is a successful venture capitalist with an eye on changing school. His four-decade career spans technology, business, public policy, and education philanthropy. He earned a PhD in engineering from Stanford University, lead a high tech start-up, and ranked as the top venture capitalist in the US for the years 1995- 1999. Ted organized and funded Most Likely to Succeed, a feature-length documentary on education that was directed by Greg Whiteley. The film has been an official selection of thirty major film festivals, including Sundance. To date, more than 7,000 communities in some 35 countries around the globe have screened the film, using it as a resource to spark discussion and inspire change. He also co-authored with Tony Wagner a book with the same title, analyzing our education system. Last year, Ted’s new book What School Could Be was released, which chronicles his road trip to visit 200 schools across all 50 states during the 2015-2016 school year. He was intent on discovering inspiring educators, and that’s exactly what happened. What School Could Be presents stories of teachers in ordinary circumstances doing extraordinary things. It’s has been a top-selling education book since its release.

Tony Wagner: The Global Achievement Gap | Steve Hargadon | Apr 6 2010 by Steve Hargadon

I've been doing a lot of reading and watching about creativity and imagination recently. I watched Sir Ken Robinson's ted talk about creativity and schools. He identifies creativity as an essential skill for children. He said that "creativity is as important now in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status."I've also been reading some of Tony Wagner's work recently. He's a well-known education advocate and expert, and he has identified seven 21st century skills, which are those skills kids should build to help prepare them for the future.Creativity & Imaginative play….* Build resilience through mistakes* Encourage curiosity, exploration, and innovation* Are great ways to practice communication, flexible thinking & problem solving* Even help with executive functioning skillsResources mentioned in the podcast:Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talkTony Wagner 21st Century SkillsThink Outside the (Cardboard) Box - Calm & Connected podcast episode - listen hereOpen Ended Play - Calm & Connected podcast - listen hereWant more playdate ideas?

Ride along with fourth generation farmer Tony Wagner in Jamestown, South Dakota. Farming has been a lifelong passion for Tony. He took on his first field in the eighth grade and after pursuing college returned to the area to help manage his family’s operation. He has experimented with different cover crops for different fields in order to better the soil he has access to. He joins us today to share his excitement for implementing new techniques and the drastic effect it has had on the quality of his soil. “You have one shot a year to do this and then you have to wait the whole entire year for it to come around. And that's kind of what honestly really keeps me interested in it…..There's just so many things to do from preparation for equipment in the winter time to all of a sudden you're planting and then from planting you're going on to spraying and then from spraying it starts leading into harvest and next thing you know, the leaves are falling off the tree….. I like working with fields and soil and just anything that I could do to improve our farm.” - Tony Wagner This Week on Soil Sense: Hear about the heritage associated with the Wagner Farm Learn about the new techniques Tony has implemented The effects rotating cover crops have had on the quality of the soil The collaboration of farmers and extension agents to learn and improve Connect with Soil Sense: Soil Sense Initiative Soil Sense Podcast is hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Tony Wagner from CWT Meetings & Events discusses Human Trafficking and identifies our role as industry professionals in helping to put an end to this human rights violation.

My guest this week is psychologist and author Dr. Ross Greene. Ross encourages parents to let go of unhelpful efforts to help kids who aren't meeting our expectations, such as punishment and other parent-imposed solutions. His approach focuses instead on solving problems collaboratively with our children, using a straightforward three-step method. Topics we explored together included: The importance of the lens through which we view children The belief that “Kids do well if they wanna” vs. “Kids do well if they can” The danger of missing important information about our kids by jumping to adult-imposed consequences The advantages of asking the child what’s getting in the way of meeting an expectation The messages we inadvertently give kids when we don’t take the time to listen What all kids need from their parents Good parenting as knowing and being responsive to the child’s goals, preferences, and skills “Problem behaviors” vs. “Unsolved problems” The paradox of having less control over kids by trying to impose one’s will Ross's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach The advantage of solving problems proactively rather than in the heat of the moment How to address parental concerns with your child Collaborating with your child to develop solutions for unsolved problems The downsides of quickly jumping to a “life lesson” with our kids The cost of being busy on having time to solve problems collaboratively Ross mentioned Tony Wagner’s books, which you can check out on Tony's Amazon page. His most popular books include Most Likely to Succeed and The Global Achievement Gap.  The book Ross and I focused on is available here: Raising Human Beings; he's written other books, including The Explosive Child and Lost and Found. (A percentage of each purchase made through these affiliate links will be used to support the podcast, at no additional cost to you.) Ross W. Greene, PhD, is adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech and adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. He served on the Harvard Medical School faculty for over 20 years. He completed his PhD in clinical psychology with Dr. Tom Ollendick, a distinguished professor and director of the Child Study Center at Virginia Tech. Ross founded a not-for-profit organization called Lives in the Balance, which aims to disseminate his Collaborative and Proactive Solutions model through free web-based programming and to support and advocate on behalf of behaviorally challenging kids and their parents, teachers, and other caregivers. He was the executive producer and developer of the film “The Kids We Lose,” which won the Best Feature Documentary Award at the 2018 New Hampshire Film Festival, at the 2019 Women’s Film Festival in Philadelphia, and at the 2019 Los Angeles Women’s International Film Festival. Ross consults extensively to families, general and special education schools, inpatient and residential facilities, and systems of juvenile detention. He lectures widely throughout the world and has received research funding from the Stanley Research Institute, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the US Department of Education, and the Maine Juvenile Justice Advisory Group. His media appearances include The Oprah Show, Good Morning America, Dateline NBC, the CBS Morning Show, and National Public Radio, and his work has been featured in The Atlantic, Mother Jones Magazine, and The Washington Post.

What are the essential skills needed to be successful in the modern workforce and are schools equipping students with these skills? Are our nations "best" schools in fact good enough for our children's future? Listen to what author Tony Wagner discovered when researching these questions, and how Wilberforce measures up.  Are Wilberforce students ready for the future? 

This week I spoke with Ted Dintersmith. Ted Dintersmith is one of America's leaders in innovation, entrepreneurship, and education. Ted's professional experience includes two decades in venture capital, including being ranked by Business 2.0 as the top-performing U.S. venture capitalist for 1995-1999. He served on the Board of the National Venture Capital Association, chairing its Public Policy Committee. From 1981 to 1987, he ran a business at Analog Devices that helped enable the digital revolution. In the public sector, he was a staff analyst in 1976-78 for the U.S. House of Representatives, and was appointed in 2012 by President Obama to represent the U.S. at the United Nations General Assembly. Ted earned a Ph.D. in Engineering from Stanford University and a B.A. from the College of William and Mary, with High Honors in Physics and English. Ted has become one of America's leading advocates for education policies that foster creativity, innovation, motivation, and purpose. He knows what skills are valuable in a world of innovation, and how we can transform our schools to prepare kids for their futures. His contributions span film, books, philanthropy, and the hard work of going all across America. He's funded and executive produced acclaimed education documentaries, including Most Likely To Succeed, (Sundance, AFI, and Tribeca). With co-author Tony Wagner, he wrote Most Likely To Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era. During the 2015/16 school year, he went to all fifty U.S. states, meeting with governors, legislators, educators, parents, and students, and encouraging communities to work collectively to re-imagine school and its purpose. Learn more about his work from his website or by following him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/dintersmith. Ted speaks frequently at major events and conferences, delivering a vision of what our schools could - and need to - be. Drawing on inspiring examples garnered during his fifty-state tour, he can articulate the conditions required to let our students, teachers, and schools race forward. Recent keynotes include state superintendent meetings in Virginia and North Dakota, the annual meeting of the Coalition for Access (several hundred top college admissions officers), the annual Jobs for America's Graduates conference, and a plenary session of the Finnish parliament. In addition to his keynotes, Ted is often asked to also screen his film and lead a post-film discussion. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Tony Wagner is one of the most renowned experts working in education around the world. A high school teacher in the U.S. for more than a decade, he currently works at the Harvard Innovation Lab. For years he has advocated for a new approach to education. In fact, he is on the board of several educational institutions and public organizations. Wagner contends that the current educational model needs to change so that young people can build an assured future focused around what they want and what jobs are likely to exist. He argues that the role of schools needs to be reexamined, given that knowledge is now found everywhere, not just in the classroom, and consequently, educational roles are changing.

Our guest today is Joshua Wittman. He is the Director of Ninos del Sol - an Eco-School in Costa Rica.In this episode, Joshua talks about the roles of serendipity and diversity in his position as a teacher, an administrator, and a founder of the school. He relates the story of how he came to focus on bringing the classroom outside into nature in order to teach sustainability and ecology in a natural environment. Joshua has a strong marketing mindset and shares his ideas on growing the school through connecting with the community. Listen and take notes on how to use technology in the daily life of the school - including social media - to engage existing and potential supporters. In our discussion, we cover: 1:00 Joshua shares the path that led him to start a school - Ninos del Sol in Costa Rica.9:32 He tells about connecting learning to project-based experiences rather than getting stuck on meeting curriculum standards in a linear way.17:48 Andrew asks, “You are in Costa Rica with the ocean in view. How can schools in the US accomplish project-based learning wherever they are located?”21:47 Joshua tells that schools must use community engagement as a marketing strategy to communicate about what is happening at the school and to invite the community to participate actively in the life of the school.27:52 Bringing all of his life experiences and passions together in a coherent whole, Joshua talks about how to create a value proposition for a school.37:14 Joshua develops the idea of serendipity and diversity in school growth.40:35 He shares advice for schools on how to bring diversity to their local community.46:50 Expanding on the idea of serendipity, Joshua relates that it becomes a way of viewing even seemingly negative experiences.50:40 Joshua walks-through the many positive uses of technology to engage the internal audience (parents) and the external audience (the community at large) and to remind them of what you are doing so that they become a part of the school story. 58:10 He shares marketing goals for the next year, including goals to engage businesses and entities with money available to be shared with causes they might support - like the interface of technology in the classroom.Quotes: 10:38 “We have to move at nature’s pace.”27:10 “Everything is connected. Being able to reinforce those connections has time and time again created the synergy that makes us grow.”36:00 “If you are not sure that you are on the right track, reassess your community and expand it to include people who are going to inspire you.”40:52 “Create diversity in your community.”49:14 “If you don’t have time for marketing, you have to hire somebody who does.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion: “Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era” by Tony Wagner and Ted Dintersmithhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Most-Likely-Succeed-Preparing-Innovation/dp/1501104314“Dance Equations” by Miranda Abbott https://danceequations.com/Miranda Abbott email - danceequations@gmail.comFarmbot - https://farm.bot/“The Long Tail” by Chris Anderson https://www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Tail-Endless-Creating-Unlimited/dp/1844138518Where to learn more about Joshua Wittman:Ninos del Sol Eco-School https://www.ninosdelsolcr.com/Ninos del Sol Eco-School ninosdelsolcr@gmail.comLinkedin - linkedin.com/in/jpwteaching

This podcast is a production of The Trade Show Manager and features an in depth look at the people, companies, and organizations that bring trade shows to life.

One of our featured guests is sponsoring a couple of scholarships for members of our North Carolina Startup pavilion is the team from NC IDEA. NC IDEA empowers entrepreneurs to reach their full potential by offering support when they need it most. With me on the podcast is the president and CEO of NC IDEA. Thom, welcome Thom. Thom:                               01:18                   Thank you, Janet. It's a real pleasure to be here with you. Janet:                                01:21                   You have had an entrepreneurial mindset for many, many years. Thom:                               01:27                   Yes, I have. I like to say tongue in cheek. I spent the first 20 years of my career starting and growing companies and then I've spent the last 15 years helping others acquire that gene mutation. So that has really given me quite a career of advantage and great pleasure, because it really is a privilege to do the work that we do. Janet:                                01:50                   You know, you make me wonder about the age old question. Is it nature or nurture? Can you make an entrepreneur or are you born with that mindset? Thom:                               02:01                   yeah. I, I appreciate this question. I love debunking it every chance I get because I think it's an insidious inference. That you have to be born with entrepreneurial DNA, so to speak. it's my firm belief that we're all hardwired to be entrepreneurial, but what isn't equally distributed are the resources, the encouragement, the environment, the assets to realize or accentuate or pronounce that innate ability that we all have now, and for some people it's just they just never get a chance to express it, but if you give them that opportunity, that encouragement, that support, everybody's got the potential to be quite entrepreneurial. Janet:                                02:46                   I think of it a very essentially is the ability to be creative and to problem solve. And sometimes that's to make money for yourself. Sometimes that's to make money for your business and sometimes it's to figure out what to do when you burn the cake. Thom:                               03:02                   It's a way of thinking. We refer to the vernacular that's very common now is calling it the mindset, right? We define that as the underlying beliefs and assumptions that drive successful behavior. So what is it intrinsically that motivates you, that drives your locus of control to say, I'm dissatisfied with my current state of existence. I want something better. I want to be something better. And I can express that I can achieve that goal by providing value to others and that value is manifest in either a product or a service or a performance that I do for, you know, an existing employer. But somehow I bring value to others and for that, you know, I have economic stability in my life. And then all the rest is a question of scale. So you can do that for more people in, at a higher scale than your economic reward for that is greater. But that's the essence of really what drives what we do. Janet:                                04:04                   Thom, I'm dying to ask you this question. It's about the hustle mentality and there's a lot of really strong debate on both sides going on online between those Internet entrepreneurs that have gone out there and said, hustle, hustle, hustle, work seven days a week, put it all in. And then ultimately you're going to get rich. And let's face it, the get rich part is going to be probably a single digit percentage of folks out there. The "make a good life, make a good living" part is much greater. But the hustle mentality that you, you are not a good entrepreneur if you're not working, you know, 16 hours a day, seven days a week. Thom:                               04:47                   Yeah. I think that's again, one of those wonderful myths or cliches. Probably a better way to state it, of entrepreneurship, right? That you have to deplete yourself and sacrifice sleep and relationships and everything else in furtherance of your entrepreneurial pursuit. To me that's just silly, right? A ton of effort without direction is meaningless. There are certainly times when you're going to have to burn the candle on both ends, right? Product launch, you know, large, large event. You got to prep for the CES show for example. But yeah, you're going to have to have a couple of weekends who are going to go sleep deprived and you got to burn the midnight oil. But if you are doing that as a sustaining a status quo without understanding why, then you should really be questioning what you're doing. And I think the smarter play or, or let's just say that more balanced play is if you get to some sort of self defined equilibrium, you know, I need to financially achieve x, Y, or Z, or I need to have a company that allows me to control or the flexibility to work when I choose to work, whatever that is, that's different for different people, right? Thom:                               06:05                   But if you can "know thyself," so to speak and work a plan that achieves that, then I think you've accomplished something. And if that means you can do that 20 hours a week, you know, God bless you, that's great. If you have to do 60 hours a week to attain that, well, and that's what you have to do. And then at some point you need to decide does that work for you? But, but understand why it is you're doing what you're doing. I didn't give you the red meat answer to that. Thom:                               06:34                   Really what it says. I think it's just a stupid argument and people really delude themselves on, and I've seen this where people are unsuccessful and then they throw their hands up in the air and go, how can I be unsuccessful? "I've been working 16 hours a day." If you've been doing 16 hours a day of the wrong stuff, it doesn't matter that you're doing 16 hours a day. If you were doing six hours a day of the right things to do, you might be wildly successful. Right? So this notion that I have to suffer for my craft, that's part of the process. That's just, again, that's movies, this the stuff of lore and legend, not reality, Janet:                                07:14                   Right. Well, and we all get sold a bill of goods because what we're looking at is the online influencers, public persona. We have no idea what happens when he gets home to talk to the wife or the kids and a lot of the other things. We're only seeing the story that is the way they choose to portray. Thom:                               07:36                   It's crafted. Everybody has a perfect life on Instagram and Facebook, Speaker 2:                        07:40                   Entrepreneurial mindset. I think I've had it my whole life. I just never quite saw how to put it into action and I understand that part of what NC IDEA is doing is actually creating facilitators to help people think through that process. Thom:                               07:59                   We are absolutely helping facilitators and others help other people get that orientation towards action. You know, we find, and I have found doing the work I do literally all over the world in services, some great organizations like the World Economic Forum, not to mention Kaufman and others that people can get to that exciting excitement stage. Like I've got the idea or I've got a notion of an opportunity, you know, I get this antsiness like I really want to do something about it and that's where it stops, right? Because they get home and the kids are driving them crazy and there's a good movie starting tonight or I jump on facebook and three hours later, you know, I'm not getting anything done. So we really want to help people understand that it's a bit of a self awareness. When am I failing to do anything beyond just getting excited? Because there again, right? Excitement and energy without action is a very little value. Thom:                               09:08                   The law of diminishing returns, a accelerates very quickly there. So what we try to do is say, you know, recognize that in yourself when you're at that stage and say, okay, for those that can then you know, and maybe it could be the epiphany of, oh, this is going to be harder than I thought and I'm not going to do it. Then great. At least you can stop deluding yourself that, you know, "I coulda been somebody". Obviously I'm being tongue in cheek with that, but, but more to the, our hope is that people will go, oh, okay, now I understand. I, I have to now do small tests, right? I have to see, okay, how viable is this idea and how do I start getting some feedback and how do I just for me and the team here is probably tired of hearing me say it. Thom:                               09:53                   I call it. It's a game of forward momentum entrepreneurship. Unfortunately in public it looks like these giant strides, right? It went huge. I sold it and made a ton of money. In reality, it's really more about just moving forward. Some days you're going to move forward by an inch. Some days it's going to be by a mile, right? But as long as you're moving forward, you have forward momentum. You're, you're doing all right and you should be happy with yourself that you're doing all right because that will, as long as you're moving forward, you'll have something to react to that you didn't have to react to yesterday because the market will tell you something, potential customers, we're telling you something. Suppliers will tell you something. Employer employees will tell you something. You'll be learning and then making decisions that are informed by the goal at the end, Janet:                                10:43                   You're doing such a great job with myth busting. I want to throw another one at you and that is one of the things that I have heard is your business, your entrepreneurial ideas never going anywhere unless you are 100 percent all in in essence, basically saying, if you haven't saved up enough money to quit your job, you know too bad, you're not going to be a success. If you're not all-in, what do you think about that? Thom:                               11:11                   I think that this notion that you have to be all-in in order to be successful is nuanced and again, I think it distracts from more relevant questions, but I'll. I'll bite and give you a reaction to it. It's this notion, right? When an explorer hits the foreign shore, they burn their boats because they know now going back is not an option and the theory is that that somehow puts you in this mindset that you'll work harder, you'll work longer. It feeds this narrative of the suffering entrepreneur and that's why I'm not very keen on this notion. That being said, there is plenty of data that says, Hey, if you're still keeping your day job right, which is presumably 45 hours a week and you're trying this other thing, you probably don't have enough hours in the day to apply to your entrepreneurial startup. That's where this starts, this are you all in or not. Thom:                               12:13                   That's when the narrative starts becoming way more nuanced. That means maybe your company is going to grow slower than it might otherwise if you were full time, 50 hours a week on it, you know, like you are at your job and those, those aren't wrong or right answers. Those are just certain realities of time utilization and applying it towards things that need to get done. And so when people try to cast this notion like, well, we can't like that because you haven't quit your job to do this yet. Would just say statistically I have a bias against potential the potential for that from a pay standpoint. But if you can show me how, what time you can apply to it is adequate for the progression, the forward momentum, as I alluded to earlier for the business, then I'm fine with that. Janet:                                13:05                   All right, that makes sense. I'd love for you to compare and contrast the US entrepreneurial mindset or ecosystem with your experience in the World Economic Forum as you've worked with, I assume, countries around the world. What's different and what's the same? Thom:                               13:25                   Thank you. That's an interesting question. I have worked with and for NGOs, universities, foreign governments, and quite literally, I like it because of the alliteration, but literally from Brazil to Bangladesh and have seen every slice of entrepreneurial humanity that the world has to offer. And there's a couple of observations I have from this first and foremost, and this goes into public perception and myth busting right? I think in the US there's this notion that we are the world leader in entrepreneurship. And again, spoiler alert, we're not. What has been the kind of the, American secret of entrepreneurship that is been unleashed around the world and the rest of the world is awakening to what had been historically a US competitive advantage. So thank Israel, for example. Israel on multiple ways that you might measure is probably the world leader right now in entrepreneurship and early stage activities. Thom:                               14:31                   They've put billions of dollars into funding startup early stage type of things. They've invested heavily in technology transfer and commercialization from universities. They had great corporate partnerships. They reach internationally, they go anywhere in the world where if there's a piece of technology that advances something. So there's that reality of our observation. The other observation I've had is I'm the kind of learning and teaching front of entrepreneurship. In the US, what dominates a lot of curricular or training programs or on entrepreneurship or what I refer to loosely as the silicon valley narrative, which is a plan and pitch type of entrepreneurship curriculum, namely I have to come up with a big idea. I write a plan around it. I shopped that plan to some folks to fund it. I grow something very quickly and I exit and you've heard that a thousand times over, right? Thom:                               15:29                   That dominates, especially in academia, in higher ed. That dominates many of the programs. And that's really, I think it's problematic in a couple of ways. First of all, and most importantly it presupposes or it begins with an individual that has already identified as being entrepreneurial. So like if I'm a student now I'm opting in to major in entrepreneurship. As silly as that is of a notion I've already self selected. Right? So I've been activated. So what higher ed and academia is missing is that broader, much larger swath of the population that has entrepreneurial potential. They just haven't been activated yet. They haven't been exposed to something that flips that switch, so to speak, and that's the difference internationally. So there. Then I use the example of the Ice House curriculum that I we talked about earlier when we were deploying that curriculum at my time in Kauffman. We were deploying it in the US and we're deploying it internationally and I'm happy to say that that program is actually being taught on five continents right now and it's been translated into other languages like Spanish and Portuguese. And what the rest of the world has understood is that if you go earlier stage and you focus on the mindset, we can mobilize more people working towards something entrepreneurial and whereas nobody can predict, you know, the winners and losers. It's still is a numbers game and if you can fill the top of the funnel, you know much faster with more numbers, you're going to have better outcomes on the bottom and adoption of that program. And, and deployment of that program. Is actually growing faster outside the US than it is inside the US. Janet:                                17:19                   Now Your Ice House entrepreneurship program, you are talking to community colleges, four year universities, small business centers. I contend you're in the wrong place. You need to be in elementary school. Thom:                               17:31                   Well, we're certainly already in a middle schools and high schools. So you're absolutely right. You know, and this is the work of Ted Dinter Smith and Tony Wagner and others that are working on kind of a innovation narrative much earlier and there's been studies on this too, right? We beat creativity out of kids going through the, you know, the public school and public education process. So I couldn't agree with you more, you know, and, and even in a very unsophisticated way, I just look at my own kids. I have three children and they're adults now, but they were all entrepreneurs growing up because they've lived in a house with a crazy dad who started and sold a company every three to five years. And you know, for them that was kind of the water that they swam in. So, you know, all three of them graduating college. No student debt, you know, my son just bought his first starter home, didn't need me to co-sign. That's because they had been starting and growing companies and my, my youngest daughter was I think started the earliest at nine, but they all were running businesses and they just saw entrepreneurship as a way to get what you want from life, right. That we have to make a more common experience for as many people as possible. Janet:                                18:48                   Right. Well, I remember seeing a story in social media about the young man who had the hot dog stand and somebody called to complain about him and for once government did the right thing. They worked with this kid to get a health license. They got him the things that he needed to make sure he was testing the heat of the water, and they made him a more successful entrepreneur than shutting him down. And when I hear about people calling the cops on lemonade stands, I'm like 'Really?' that's not in the right mindset. Thom:                               19:22                   Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were more of those types of examples? There was one of the stories I'm most enamored with I had the good fortune several years ago to meet the founders of a company called Missouri Star Quilt Company in the Missouri Star Quilt Company is in Hamilton, Missouri, a population I think like 2,400. So this is small town USA, you know, anywhere in the country, the abandoned main street. From what I understand it is the birthplace of JC Penney, long since gone. And there was this family, it was a family with seven children that really out of a notion to give their mother or something to do or their mother, Jenny Doan was very much into quilting. Quilting was her passion, her hobby. So they bought. I'm giving you the very abbreviated story. There's tons of videos on this and I encourage you highly to google it, but they basically bought her a piece of equipment so that she could start doing some quilting activity. Thom:                               20:29                   And they thought, well, you know, maybe we could put a little small business around this, what we would call a side hustle today. Right? And then they use tools that are out there, they taught themselves things like youtube as a broadcast channel. And what can we do? Jenny has very, the camera just loves her. She's got this just genial style to her teaching. Quilting comes natural to her and pretty soon, you know, they had 500 followers. They had 5,000, they had 50,000. They now have followers on their channels that are seven figures in the. Fast forward to the present. Missouri Star Quilt Company is a very large company. It's the largest employer within a 50 mile radius. They processed 2,000 orders a day, right? And this is supplying the quilting industry. This isn't an APP that whatever cracks your DNA for you. this isn't a biotech life science, you know, bionic, you know, artificial limbs, better solar powered. Thom:                               21:32                   This is quilting fabric and patterns and colors. And, and, and to say nothing of how they've revitalized the whole downtown. So the company is pretty much bought up all of main street and it's a destination. It's a Disneyland for quilters and they have B&B's. Now there they have multiple themed storefronts, so there's seven or eight, so they have one Missouri Star Quilt Company and it's all things fourth of July, they have one that's all things Halloween. One thing that's all things Christmas and it's a destination and it's revitalized this town and it's not high tech and any of that stuff. Right? That just demonstrates that the potential to transform especially large parts of our rural communities that it becomes so economically disenfranchised. Entrepreneurship has the power to turn that around. Thom:                               22:26                   I love this story so much because it is the power of a few people building something amazing. And recently Raleigh has been in a situation where we've been competing to bring a very, very large presence, both apple and Amazon to our town. And I see that as kind of the exact opposite, but I'm not sure that the upside of something that large is very good. Thom:                               22:56                   So, you know, I'd like to say tongue in cheek that we won both hq two and the apple by not winning. And I think that's true for a lot of the communities. We're, we have the good fortune in the triangle here that we are flush with resources, so we probably could have afforded or accommodated whatever exorbitant financial incentives package was given to them, but certainly many of the communities, that pitched for these opportunities could ill afford it and if they had won, it would have been financially catastrophic. Beyond that, what's more perverse to that process than trying to bribe large established companies that have the kind of cash reservoirs at both of those companies have, beyond that, what's perverse about that is the missed opportunity to think if we have the collective political will and are willing to allocate the resources we going to throw at these companies, why don't we invest in ourselves? Speaker 3:                        24:02                   Why can't we see a way forward to, to draft policy and programs that put money into economic gardening so that we plant the seeds and build the next Amazon, the next 10. Amazon's as opposed to trying to buy them or bribe them. Right? This is a challenge. This, this smokestack chasing as an economic development practice, needs to die a swift and ugly death because it is flawed in its thinking. If you want to see an example of how that might look, you only have to look to my home state or at least used to be home state because now I'm proudly as citizen of North Carolina, but Ohio passed several years ago. This initiative called the third frontier initiative and it passed by voters. It was a referendum that went to the ballot and it passed twice. So there was the initial $900MM allocation and then another I think $400MM or $500MM bond issuance. So Ohio through popular vote that sustained and survived transitioning from an R to a D and back to an R. So it wasn't a partisan football, right? They both parties had enough sense not to kill the golden goose and that what it did was it it pumped, it injected, you know, close to one and a half billion dollars into early stage entrepreneurial support activities and it has paid multiples multiples on returns. Thom:                               25:40                   This is the kind of thinking I would love to see come to North Carolina. I don't know in the current political environment if there's the political will because it, it seems nowadays that an idea is measured by who had it versus the merit of it and I'm hopeful that there's going to be some political winds of change coming so that we can start once again arguing about the potential of ideas and not based upon who had them Janet:                                26:10                   Exactly. As you referenced, the Gardening Motif. We need to be planting seeds and seeing what grows and creating a fertile environment to make that happen. If you just try to bring in a fully grown pumpkin and plop it down, ultimately it's going to kill what's under it and ultimately it's going to decay and I don't see a big, big move like that. If they were talking 3000 jobs, maybe that would have been much healthier, but 10,000 has got to canibalize what's going on in our current community. Thom:                               26:46                   I couldn't agree more and I think if you need evidence of that, read very closely. A lot of the public narrative around that and see if you can pick out what's absent from a lot of that public narrative and what I am now. I'll lead the witness here. What's absent is very a heartfelt, genuine support from the large corporate community and who would blame them, right? Every large corporation that's been a great tenant and steward in North Carolina has been growing without handouts, right? Without incentives. Just quietly going about doing their thing and being loyal to the state. They are all. Everybody's competing for talent right now and there's a great shortage and now you're going to say, oh, here's this great big thing that's going to be the sexy new that's going to be competing for the people. You can't find it as it is, and we're going to pop that right in your backyard right now. It's hard to get excited about that. Yeah, yeah. They're going to be good citizens. They'll give some perfunctory statement, but I know people that work at these organizations and they have many of them told me privately, yeah, we're not going to shed a tear if they go elsewhere. Janet:                                28:05                   So that's the biggest of the big. Now let's talk about the smallest of the smallest briefly. One of the things that I love about NC IDEA is what you call your family and that people who've been through one of the NC IDEA programs, processes, grant awards, they're very vested in that aren't they? Thom:                               28:28                   Yeah, I mean we really think and know through our own experience. We have the privilege to work with our folks at a discrete moment in time, a discrete point in their adventure, their journey of entrepreneurship. You know, we want them to know that for the time we were officially together, which might be defined by the term of the grant period, we're vested in their success and, and forward momentum, but well beyond. We want them to know that we're here for them and a resource to go forward because, you know, this is this critical mass feeds the ecosystem and where we can have more and more people getting involved and having these peer to peer relationships. This virtuous cycle starts from it. So for example, we host, with, with relative frequency, a, what we call kind of tongue and cheek, alumni events. Thom:                               29:24                   We bring folks, we invite people. We have a newsletter that we publish lucidly just to alumni. We have a slack channel just for them. And so every other month or so we say, okay, you know, I'll, I'll pick up the beer tab and we'll have some hors d'oeuvres thrown out there, but you know, if you want to come by and catch up and talk to others, you know, feel free to do. And we are always humbled by the number of people that want to come in. And they just, they say, listen, thank you. We appreciate this because it's kind of, you know, that designated time to stop and take a breath and get our batteries recharged. They just tell us the most flattering things that warms your heart and you realize, oh yeah, that's right. That's why we do what we do, right? Because we're helping these people and when they're wildly successful, then we've been very specific and deliberate about this particular. Thom:                               30:18                   Next point I'm about to make is we say, hey, listen, remember to pay it forward. At some point you're going to get, you're going to be successful and you're going to be in a capacity of not begging for resources and help and other things, but you actually going to be in a position to offer resources and help. And so please consider and remember us when, when that happens, we had it was, this was several of our labs cycles ago. one of the folks going through the labs program was just so enamored [with the program]. He came into my office, he snagged a piece of stationary. We have these cards that have our logo on the top and he grabbed it, grabbed a pen and a scribbled out I o n c idea $1,000,000. And he signed it. He said, I have no idea what I'm going to make good on this, but I will someday and I hope you'll be here and you'll have this when I can come in with that check. And obviously I don't expect that, but, metaphorically, the sentiment of what he is saying is what we're striving for, where everybody feels that they're part of something bigger because at some point a critical mass that again, that virtuous cycle kicks in. Janet:                                31:29                   That is awesome. And I very, very much look forward to having some of the scholarship recipients that you guys are going to be awarding attending CES with us this year. I think that is such a cool idea. Thom:                               31:44                   It'd be my pleasure and I'm expecting great things from them. Janet, thank you so much for helping make that happen. It's going to be very cool to see North Carolina has such a coordinated effort and, and frankly something that's going to make North Carolina look even better than it already does. Janet:                                32:00                   Absolutely. Well, thanks for being here, Thom. Thom:                               32:03                   It's my absolute pleasure. Janet:                                32:05                   You've been listening to Trade Show Live! On the Road, a podcast that's production of The Trade Show Manager and features an in depth look at the people, companies, organizations that bring trade shows to life.  

In this episode, Dr. Tony Wagner, a global voice in education, shares insights from his best-selling books, The Global Achievement Gap and Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World, and highlights the importance of seven survival skills for the 21st century that include: 1) Critical Thinking and Problem Solving; 2) Collaborating Across Networks and Leading by Influence; 3) Agility and Adaptability; 4) Initiative and Entrepreneurship; 5) Effective Oral and Written Communication; 6) Accessing and Analyzing Information; and 7) Curiosity and Imagination. Dr. Wagner also discusses how we can create innovators in our schools through creativity, intrinsic motivation and the principles of play, passion and purpose. Twitter: @DrTonyWagner.

Today we're joined by Dr. Tony Wagner. Tony is a Senior Research Fellow at the Learning Policy Institute who has served at Harvard University for over twenty years. Tony has worked in K-12 education as a school teacher, K-8 principal, university professor in teacher education, and is the founded the Educators for Social Responsibility. An author of many thoughts including Creating Innovators, The Global Achievement Gap, and Most Likely to Succeed (documentary now available on iTunes) - Tony has been a perpetual driver of innovative educational practice. Tony has been a prime resource for Michael and I for years and we're always thrilled to show new staff and students Most Likely to Succeed to promote project-based learning and transforming the traditional model. In our discussion, we primarily focus on the need to change education and hope that's on the horizon - specifically the Mastery Transcript Consortium (of which Tony serves on the board.) Our emphasis on grades, unwavering class times, age segregation, and more have led us toward a stale curriculum which does a disservice to students. Instead, why not flip the entire model by reimagining college admissions? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you haven't heard (or seen) the movie "Most Likely to Succeed," you may be in the educational minority today. The documentary highlights the problems of traditional schooling through the eyes of students, parents, and teachers who are seeking, and in some cases participating in a very different education, and it's become one of the most watched (maybe the MOST watched) film about education ever. Millions of people around the globe have seen it, and now, you can even rent your own personal screening via the film's website. While the movie takes it's cues from Tony Wagner's book of the same name, it's producer Ted Dintersmith has been doing the yeoman's work in getting the film out to global audiences and in pushing the conversation around change to state legislatures. And Ted is our guest in our 40th episode of the Modern Learners Podcast. Our conversation runs the gamut from what the change narrative is evolving into, to places where change is happening at high levels, to the barriers that those seeking change are facing, to some predictions about what the future looks like for education. In addition, we discuss parts of Ted's brand new book, What Schools Could Be, which is a chronicle of his visits to all 50 states to get a bigger sense of education, both good and bad, as it stands in the United States today. If nothing else, the movie is sparking some different conversations about change as it challenges the narrative of schooling that we've held on to for over a century. And to hear Ted talk about it, some of the conversations are beginning to reach the highest levels of state government. That's great news. Here's hoping this interview helps in that cause.

Don’t miss this incredible interview with Dr. Tony Wagner - widely respected author, educator, and speaker, helping us all reframe our thinking in order to transform education.

You may remember back in 2015, SXSWedu had a special screening of Most Likely to Succeed, a film produced by Ted Dintersmith. Well, he's also the author of Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era, along with Tony Wagner. And his new book, What School Could Be: Insights and Inspiration from Teachers across America, comes out on April 17th, outlining everything he has learned from the 50-state tour following the release of Most Likely to Succeed. In this episode, Tom talks with Ted about this journey to advocating for next-generation education.   Ted's work as a venture investor put him in the middle of the formation of the new innovation economy.

All over the world this summer young people are sitting exams which will have a big impact on their future. In some places, a single exam might determine whether and where candidates go on to university, their future earning potential, and even their marriage prospects. Given the stakes, it is easy to see why so many cultures place great importance on exam success. However, is this one-size-fits-all approach to assessment really a good judge of ability and understanding? Or do exam results only tell us about a candidate's ability to memorise material and perform under stressful exam conditions? Caroline Bayley meets the educators and experts defending traditional exams and those coming up with alternative models of assessment. Tony Wagner from the Harvard Innovation Lab in the US thinks traditional exams will become obsolete in the future as work places change their hiring criteria. Mike Thomas, Vice Chancellor of the University of Central Lancashire in the UK explains why exams can have a negative impact on mental health. Dr Chun-yen Chang from National Taiwan Normal University has conducted research into whether there might be a gene that determines how well we think under exam conditions.

On today’s episode, we have the 2017 Georgia Teacher of the Year - Casey Bethel. Casey is the teacher we all want, and his authentic voice and love for the profession is magnified throughout this episode. We learn about his path to the teaching profession, his love of science, his work vs effort rubric, and the book that changed his paradigm to elevate his love of reading. Casey currently teaches AP Biology, Biology, and Physics at New Manchester High School in Douglasville, Georgia. Before that, he taught at Martin Luther King High School in Lithonia, Georgia. He graduated from Fort Valley State University with a degree in Biology (Pre-Med) and he received his Masters in Agronomy which is (plant genetics) from the University of Georgia. So if you’re listening to this on your way to work, laying by the pool, or while you’re doing chores you’re about to be enlightened by another great leader in his field.    Show Notes   Icebreakers (This or That) Moment Casey decided to become a teacher Teacher influences on his love of Science Favorite Failures "I had to take the time to learn how to teach."

As the school bells begin ringing for the start of another school year, let's pause for a moment and think about something that we often don't reflect on. Just what is school for? Is it to get a job? To evolve our brain? To connect with other intellectuals? Or what? We've built a culture that sends its children to school for, at minimum, 20 percent of their life expectancy and we value education on a beautiful visceral level. We're willing to spend more on a college tuition than a home mortgage without the guarantee that a degree will even put a roof over our heads. But do we ever stop to really consider, what is school for? So I'd like to begin that conversation and ask you: What do you think school is for? Just leave a comment below or reach out at mark@yourlop.com. *** A Brief History of School   We hunted and gathered as storytelling animals and schooled each other around the campfire. Our grandparents were our teachers. Then we developed more nuclear families and farmed. School was in the home or in a community center, mostly for men to teach them the trade. Women were taught how to be women (an attractive catch for a man, a nurturing mother). Beyond the teenage years, higher education didn't really exist for the average person. The average person had to worry about food, shelter, and water and focus on providing for the family to survive. Now, in a land where we can get enough calories from a bar that's dispensed from a vending machine, we've moved beyond building sustenance and could then ask ourselves: what is my purpose? It's allowed for an intellectual evolution where people all around the world dig deep within themselves to create an enriching life that serves a deeper, more existential purpose. It's truly a beautiful time to be alive. Enter modern-day higher education. Reaching back all the way to Socrates, higher education used to be for the elite or the privileged. (Of course, there were some vagabonds who ditched material possessions to live a minimal monk-like life in search for a higher understanding of life.) Before World War II, college was only for the elite. And it wasn't a place to help people get a job. It was a place for intellectual stimulation, philosophy, the study of literature, and elitist fraternity. No one took out student loans. After WWII, the U.S. government began to give loans to soldiers to go to college and during the Vietnam War era, college for the masses began. It became a new normal, a new tradition. Counter-culture movements spread throughout college campuses inspiring radical thinkers like Steve Jobs to “think different.” College became the go-to place to be the change you wanted to see in the world. As Nelson Mandela put it, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” College was the vehicle to help someone improve their social ranking and achieve the American Dream. Since you could learn anything (with a loan, of course), you could become anything you wanted to be. Or so many were told. That worked for a bit... until the present. We've tipped the scale in the other direction and push our children through school with the best of intentions, but have lost a sense of why we're doing it. Incredible teachers and school leaders struggle to motivate children and help them live extraordinary lives in a school system that worked well for the factory-based industrial economy, but falls flat to help our children thrive in our current economy. And people don't really have much of a choice in the public setting, especially since modern-day trends to have both parents work full-time make it difficult to return to a more personalized homeschool instruction. While there are great options in online schooling (and some not-so-good), that's not possible for many working families. But don't take my word for it. Harvard lecturer Tony Wagner's research suggests that more and more students are dropping out of school, not because they can't perform well, but, rather, because they are bored. Krishnamurti pushes us in Think on These Things to consider that education is “not just about passing examinations, take a degree, get married and settle down,” but also to dive in and discover the extraordinary beauty of life. Education is everything but the  high-stakes testing which saturates The Common Core. Seth Godin argues in Stop Stealing Dreams that we need to transform education: “If school's function is to create the workers we need to fuel our economy, we need to change school, because the workers we need have changed as well.” —- Going Back To School I can't tell you how many of my former students, friends, and those I interview consider going back to school — myself included. Academia is a beautiful place. I love school. I love learning and something tells me you do too. But do we really need to pay another 100k to get that doctorate? Will that slip of paper really affirm that you are brilliant? Will it land you that job? Will it help you create something that matters? —- As the bells continue to ring this year, join me in thinking on these things. When we connect our dots looking backward, our school years will undoubtedly play a major role in shaping our lives. But we could do better for our future generation. As Wayne Dyer put it in The Power of Intention, “Creation acts upon the everlasting possibility that anything that is thought of, can be.” So let's embrace a deeper sense of what's possible. Let's work to help make this possibility happen.
