Kristen Dascoli, a seasoned pro with experience on both the editorial and business development sides of CME, pulls back the curtain on the development of a pioneering program on gender-affirming HIV care. ELEVATE was a groundbreaking CME initiative that aimed to enhance healthcare providers' cultural competencies in delivering gender-affirming care to transgender and gender-diverse patients. From its pilot in January 2015 to its conclusion in the summer of 2019, ELEVATE conducted 26 trainings across 14 states, partnering with 9 chapters of the American Academy of Family Physicians, a county healthcare agency, and 13 health systems. The initiative reached nearly 1,500 healthcare professionals in primary care, infectious disease, and HIV practice settings through live events, an online webinar, interviews, and a published white paper, ultimately inspiring the creation of a Transgender Advisory Committee at one of the participating health systems. 1. Discover how a little targeted research into supporters' educational focus can help you create needs assessments that resonate with funders, while maintaining the highest standards of independence and objectivity. 2. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the development of ELEVATE and learn how you can apply similar strategies to bring your own visionary ideas to life. 3.

In this thought-provoking episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the transformative world of edtech with Graham Glass, CEO of CYPHER Learning and a visionary in the field of educational technology. Graham, a former senior lecturer at the University of Texas, Dallas, shares his fascinating journey from academia to entrepreneurship, revealing how he has consistently been at the forefront of driving meaningful change in the education industry. The conversation explores the seismic shift happening in learning environments—traditional and corporate—pivoting on human-focused experience design. Graham discusses how he and his team at CYPHER Learning are championing this shift through next-generation intelligent learning platforms. These platforms are not merely responsive; they actively mentor learners, regardless of geographical distance, breaking down traditional barriers to effective education. Among the episode's highlights is the discussion about Copilot, CYPHER's revolutionary AI-driven tool that significantly accelerates course creation. We examine the complexities and challenges of integrating AI into education, balancing the potential for fast, automated course design with the need for human oversight to ensure content quality and accuracy. Here, they touch on a pervasive concern: as we delegate more tasks to AI, how do we guard against misinformation and maintain the integrity of educational content? Taking a broader view, the conversation also encompasses the future of EdTech, scrutinizing how emerging technologies like AR could further revolutionize the landscape. Graham offers insights into how technologies can be harnessed to create tailored, personalized learning experiences that resonate with the learner.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of education, the ethical and practical implications of AI in learning, and how technology can be leveraged to create more inclusive and effective educational experiences.

How do teachers learn how to teach? They go through a whole process of licensing, and academic theory, but where do teachers practice teaching? Justin Reich is an Associate Professor of Comparative Media Studies at MIT, as well as the Director for the MIT Teaching Systems Lab, a space where teachers can practice how to teach. He's compiled nearly two decades of experience into a book, Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education, and hosts a podcast called TeachLab. As a veteran of the education space, Justin feels that there's no tech based magic bullet that somehow can improve the country's gigantic education system: it's going to come down to having the best teachers. And you get the best teachers, just like how coaches get the best athletes, by creating a safe space where people can experiment, fail, reflect, try again, and practice, practice, practice. With a new year just around the corner, it's the perfect time to think about turning over a new leaf when it comes to teaching, so with that…let's bring it in!

The new Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum has stirred up debate in parliament. The curriculum will be compulsory for both primary and secondary schools up to year 10. The ACT party says it focuses too much on colonisation, dividing people into villains and victims, and should be more empowering. ACT's deputy Brooke van Velden says it ignores scientific and technological advances, as well as the women's movement. The Green Party has responded. Its co-leader James Shaw says it is vital to acknowledge that New Zealand was built on notions of imperialism and xenophobia. Te Akatea, the Māori Principals Association, says the new Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum has the potential to transform education and society.

Let's transform education systems by reigniting intrinsic motivation! The Chair and CEO of STiR Education, Jo Owen and Girish Menon, explain why motivation is key to success. STiR Education operates in India and Uganda, they've recently started a program in Indonesia and are currently in discussions with the education ministry in Ethiopia.  Brazil is being explored. They've been funded by some of the world's leading foundations, including MacArthur Foundation, IKEA Foundation, Dubai Cares, ELMA Foundation and UBS Optimus. We hear how intrinsic motivation needs to run across entire education systems and without it even the most targeted education interventions are at increased risk of failure.  Jo Owen and Girish Menon provide excellent insight and vivid examples to inform, inspire and help you make a bigger impact.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Jill Pierce as she discusses the importance of technology in schools and how it impacts public education. Jill has served in a technology role for multiple school districts and has recently retired from the role as Chief Technology Officer with McMinn County Schools. During this episode, she explains how using technology to address instructional, safety, and administrative needs is a formula that leads to success.

Based on his latest best-selling book, Failure to Disrupt, it is clear that Justin Reich believes that a digital transformation is, at its core, a very human endeavor. In this week's IngenioUs episode with the MIT professor, learning scientist and director of the MIT Teaching Systems Lab, Justin separates truth from hype and helps us understand what technology can—and can't—do to transform learning. According to Reich, learning technologies―even those that are free to access―often provide the greatest benefit to affluent students and do little to combat growing inequality in education. Listen here for Justin's clear, balanced and insightful take on the failure of technology in learning, what needs to be done to make a real impact, and the critical importance of education as community.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for our very FIRST Panel Interview and EPISODE #177. Watch the interview on YouTube here. https://youtu.be/vIcdMG-a6Ag For those new, or returning guests, welcome! I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies that we can use to improve our own productivity in our schools, our sports, and workplace environments. This week, I'm thrilled to welcome back 4 guests to our very first panel interview, with Horacio Sanchez, from www.resiliencyinc.com, Dr. Jon Lieff, MD from www.jonlieffmd.com, Dr. Howard Rankin, PhD. from www.hownottothink.com, and Tom Beakbane, author of How to Understand Everything. Consilience: A New Way to See the World" This panel was actually Tom Beakbane's idea, after his EPISODE #144[i] this summer, he mentioned that he had listened to Dr. Lieff's episode on his book, The Secret Language of Cells, and thought it would be a good idea if we hosted a panel discussion in the near future. Not wanting to miss any opportunity to learn something new, I agreed, and wrote down the idea, thinking of late Fall for this panel discussion. When the time felt right, I emailed Horacio Sanchez, Jon Lieff, Howard Rankin and Tom Beakbane with the idea, and all agreed immediately, and it was set in stone. Today I want to welcome back all 4 speakers to our discussion, and will give their background, so you can see where they have come from, as you listen to their thoughts and ideas on this episode. The topic for today will be “What is the most significant insight from neuroscience that can transform the future of education” so as I read through each speaker's bio, you can think of how their experience can contribute to this topic, with some ideas that we can all take away and think about the action steps that we can bring to our schools or workplaces. I really do believe that these ideas can transform our results, and it just takes you, the listener, to implement one idea at a time, for this change to occur. Here's today's panelists. 1. Horacio Sanchez https://www.resiliencyinc.com/ We have had Horacio on the podcast twice before, so this will be his third episode. What I love about Horacio is that he was mentioned as an expert in educational neuroscience in our first interview with Ron Hall, from Valley Day School, who said what he learned from Horacio changed the trajectory of his career in education. I just remember putting an image of him in Ron Hall's video and thought for someone making such an impact in the field I'm most interested in; I should learn more about his work. And that's where my friendship with Horacio began. You can listen to both his episodes to learn more: EPISODE #74 we covered “How to Use Brain Science to Improve Instruction and School Climate” with a focus on his book The Education Revolution, and on EPISODE #111 we focused on his most recent book “The Poverty Solution.” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/resiliency-expert-and-author-horacio-sanchez-on-finding-solutions-to-the-poverty-problem/ https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/leading-brain-science-and-resiliency-expert-horatio-sanchez-on-how-to-apply-brain-science-to-improve-instruction-and-school-climate/ 2. Jon Lieff, MD  https://jonlieffmd.com/ Our next panelist, Dr.Jon Lieff, I was introduced to last summer, with his new book, The Secret Language of Cells that we discussed on EPISODE #143. His topic was fascinating and inspired me to write EPISODE #147 on “Improving Mental Clarity by Understanding our Brian States, Brain Fog, and How It's Created” and gave me a new understanding of how our cells communicate with each other, how T cells send messages to the neuron to stop making so many memory cells when we are stressed, creating brain fog and making me think of new ways to support brain health. I had lots of feedback from Dr. Lieff's interview that showed how it opened up many people's eyes to new ways to approach health and wellness. There was one point that I remember someone emailed me about—it was how they were shocked to learn that “scientists can observe immune cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that bathes and protects the entire brain. This fluid was thought to function only as protection for the brain when jostled. But now it is known to be a river of wireless communication, with signals coursing throughout the brain from all regions and all types of cells. It is now known that at most times there are 500,000 T cells in the CSF along with smaller numbers of other immune cells.” (Secret Language of Cells, Dr. Lieff, Page 35). If you think this might sound a bit advanced, it's really not, when we take the time to understand this. Just this weekend, I was at a wedding, with 2 of our friends who were getting married after meeting a few years back at the library while they were studying to become doctors. When the conversation at the wedding took a turn towards CSF and the brain, I smiled and remembered what I had learned from Dr. Lieff. We can all understand how our brain and body functions, so we can be in charge of our health and future. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/jon-lieff-md-on-the-secret-language-of-cells-what-biological-conversations-tell-us-about-the-brain-body-connection/ 3. Howard Rankin, Ph.D. https://hownottothink.com/ Our third panelist, Dr. Rankin, appeared three times on the podcast, first, with his book, How Not to Think, and second when he interviewed me, and thirdly, with Grant Renier on their new book “Intuitive Rationality: predicting Future Events with the New Behavioral Direction of AI.” I immediately connected with Dr. Rankin, as he opened my eyes to cognitive bias, and ways that my thinking was flawed. I'm still not 100% sure how I'm supposed to think, but know that whatever it is I am thinking, it's probably wrong and full of biases, so I will keep learning, and hopefully with time and experience, will be all the more wiser. This will be Dr. Rankin's 4th appearance on this podcast, and I'm looking forward to the insight he will bring to the panel. I know he will share his understanding of how we shouldn't think—with our cognitive biases running our mental programming. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/dr-howard-rankin-and-grant-renier-on-intuitive-rationality-predicting-future-events-with-the-new-behavioral-direction-of-ai/ https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/expert-in-psychology-cognitive-neuroscience-and-neurotechnology-howard-rankin-phd-on-how-not-to-think/ 4. Tom Beakbane https://www.beakbane.com/ Tom Beakbane, our 4th panelist, and the one who came up with the idea for this episode, opened me up to the fact that I don't need to know everything and gave me a sense of freedom with these interviews. His book, “How to Understand Everything” stumped me, (and I admitted to not being sure what consilience was) in the first few minutes of our interview. While I think at the end of the interview, I had a new way of looking at the world, through this new lens of Consilience, which reveals how things self-organize from the bottom up, in contrast to how we think and communicate, which is top down. I'm certain that there's much more to learn from Tom and his way of looking at the world. I can't wait to see all four of our guests and see what they will say about how simple neuroscience can transform the future of education. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/author-and-marketer-tom-beakbane-on-how-to-understand-everything-consilience-a-new-way-to-look-at-the-world/ I want to welcome each of our guests to the podcast today: Horacio Sanchez, Dr. Jon Lieff, MD, Dr. Howard Rankin, Ph.D, and Tom Beakbane. Welcome! It's incredible to see you all again. Thanks for being here. INTRODUCTION: I want to thank all of you for coming back on the podcast, to keep the conversation going with your books, interviews, and the work you have been doing since we spoke last. I really do feel lucky to have this chance to speak with you again. At the end of each of your interviews, I wish I could stay on longer, asking more questions, but know that the learning will continue as we revisit your episodes, and re-read your books. I really do believe in life-long learning and am grateful for this platform to share your expertise with those who tune in, around the world.  So, thank you! Which brings us to the topic of discussion for today's episode that Tom Beakbane's idea. TOPIC: “What's gone wrong with our educational system and what's the most significant insight from neuroscience that can transform the future of education?” If I could begin with Horacio, whose work at www.resiliencyinc.com deals directly with educators and students in today's classrooms, to launch this discussion. Horacio, what do you think? Q1: What's gone wrong with our educational system? Horacio answers— What's gone wrong with our educational system? Dr. Lieff, Dr. Rankin, and Tom I'd love to hear your perspective as well. Q2: What's the most significant insight from neuroscience that can transform the future of education? I would like to begin with Dr. Lieff, because I am curious of his perspective from The Secret Language of Cells, and mental health, that is crucial for today's students AND teachers. Horacio, Dr. Rankin and Tom what's your perspective? I would like to know Horacio's perspective with what he sees working directly with students and teachers with brain science, what he thinks could transform the future of education. Howard and Tom, I would like to know your perspective on how our thinking can be taking us off course, and what can we do to get back on track and make an impact on our future generations. Q3: I'm a big dreamer and really do believe in dreaming big. It's usually what I say when I'm signing one of my books for someone because I believe in the possibilities in the world, and that each person has tremendous power within them to make a lasting impact on this world.  Let's imagine that we were given a grant for $100 million (and I choose that amount because 5 years ago I submitted an idea to the MacArthur Foundation's 100 and Change Grant Contest)[ii] and it involved budgeting $100 million for your idea. It was an incredible experience to even open up your mind to how you would distribute these funds to make a global impact on the future of education. I know where my idea fell short, but what would you say? What would be YOUR plan for $100 million if we were awarded this grant to use neuroscience to change the future of education? I would like to begin with Tom and then Dr. Rankin for their perspective on this. Then Horacio and Dr. Lieff? I want to thank you all for coming on our FIRST panel interview, so we can all continue to learn from you, and keep the conversation going as it relates to neuroscience making a change in our future generations. I hope that those listening can take away some ideas to think about and implement right away to make the changes that I know are possible.

FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW LINK Sheri Smith and I have known each other since college, and we actually worked together for several years while we were coming up professionally. She’s always impressed me as one of the smartest people I know. She’s done graduate work at Georgetown, she worked for Hillary Clinton for a time, and now she’s the founder and CEO of The Indigo Project, an education company that does extensive assessment and consulting work in the education space both at the high school level and college level. I wanted to have Sheri on the podcast for two reasons one because she’s a longtime friend and I’ve been wanting to catch up with her for years, and two because she has unique insight into the education system at large, and I think we all can agree that the education system needs to change, and I also think the pandemic showed the cracks and faults in the education system much more clearly. Sheri and her company have a unique approach to working within the education system to help change it from the inside out. Her method is unique, her perspective is hopeful, and her approach may be just what we need to change the education system from within. As kids and their parents are figuring out the new normal of education once again, this interview could not come at a better time. Interestingly oldest daughter took one of the indigo assessments for herself and found it to be mostly accurate and on point. Now for those of you who are business leaders or you’ve already grown your children, you might be tempted to click away thinking this may not have anything to do with you. Quite the contrary actually. Assessments like the ones we’re about to discuss have relevance to everyone not just students. If you’re looking to unlock high performance from your team, this may be a compelling tool to consider regardless if you’re running a small start up or a Fortune 500 company. Self awareness is everything — it’s the key to humility, interpersonal relationships, effective leadership, growth and learning, and– top performance. For those in business, this interview will give you insight into the future of work – both the workforce and the kind of functions that is coming up now and in the next several years and decades. After watching or listening to this episode you, if are interested in assessment services either for your high school or college student — or for yourself, or your company or business please reach out to me. I hope you enjoy the episode.

I felt that school failed to teach us the lessons that we REALLY needed to become happy and successful. The BIG DREAM is to TRANSFORM EDUCATION to make it more relevant, but I'm starting off with my coaching business by helping ONE person at a time.And if this doesn't happen during my lifetime, I'm working to inspire the next generation to make a dent in their own ways."Link to other episodes of The Davidson Hang PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4H475Y8hPnuqUTDOKtwOWQRedefining Masculinity discussed during the beginning of the episode: https://www.amazon.com/Redefining-Masculinity-Visions-New-Being-ebook/dp/B08WHCJLQZ

Dr. Leighangela Brady, Superintendent of National School District, is joined by colleague, Dr. Lisbeth Johnson, former Superintendent of the Santee School District, to chat about their book “Transforming Ice Age Schools-A Practical Guide for School Leaders.” Brady and Johnson emphasize thought, discussion, and problem-solving education over lecture-based education to help both students, teachers, and educational leaders.

On this episode of FranklinCovey Education's Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham was joined by Franklin Covey Education President Sean Covey for an introspective look at Covey's career and the organization's mission to “[transform] education around the globe by bringing leadership principles and skills to as many kids, educators and schools as possible.” As usual, the podcast began with the Brad Montague-inspired question of, “Why do you love what you do?” For Covey, it's a simple answer. “I've done a lot of different things in my life. I love working in education,” he said. “These kids are amazing, and I think that there's an identity theft going on in the world where kids are not remembering who they are and the great gifts and potential they have inside. … Everything I write about is all about helping people, especially you, achieve their worth and potential.” Covey and Odham explored Covey's life and career, from being one of nine children of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" author Stephen Covey to playing quarterback for BYU, discovering a passion for working with kids and teens, and writing seminal works on leadership like “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.” The duo also dove into the life of the elder Covey, who Sean said was “no respecter of persons.” “He treated everybody exactly the same,” he said.

John Katzman (@johnkatzman), CEO of Noodle, joins Erik on this episode to discuss:- John’s theory that tech has had less of an impact on education than people thought it would because it’s been grafted on rather than causing a rethinking of how education is delivered.- Why the “fundamentalist capitalists” were wrong about markets solving the problems with education.- His thoughts on income share agreements.- Why any degree should always involve active learning throughout a person’s life.- The fact that he thinks post-COVID no less than 50% of the grad school experience will remain online and will progress towards being completely virtual.- His requests for innovation in the space.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform. Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?

To achieve equity and meet the demands of the future, many of our institutions and operating systems are due for a massive overhaul. But what does exactly does that look like? Is it a rapid revolution or an incremental pivot? A visionary leader or a grassroots coalition? Fear or courage? As a former principal, superintendent, deputy minister of education and current CEO, Dr. Greg Bass has spent his career leading transformational change and has learned that the answers often lie in the complex, human middle.

What do I as a parent or teacher have to pass on to my children before I die/before they take off and are on their own? Is there some sort of manual on how to make the most of our being human?  It can be quite challenging and are not so easy to answer. The answer can be varied as well, which makes it even harder to find out. Yet, as soon as we have figured out this one, we have a great compass for making decisions regarding our children. Be it at home, be it at school.  When thinking about what we want to pass on to the next generation, we can start by looking at what it is that we wish for them. And these wishes are quite similar all over the world. It actually already begins when you are pregnant and you feel that life growing inside you. Can you remember? And you know what parents-to-be tell you all over the world when they are being asked what they are wishing for their children? It is good health and the rest will be fine.

Today, Maria talks with Trevor Soponis, Founder and Chief Learning Officer at The Sustainable Learning Programs, an organization dedicated to transforming education for students, educators and the planet. His doctorate from New York University examined the impacts of innovative environmental education programs while proposing a unique system to better support the design and implementation of sustainable ecological learning in K-12 education.This episode is for students, teachers, parents, and educators interested in transforming our schools to become places where students learn by working on projects that contribute to solving the biggest issues facing our planet. Trevor shares how he partners with teachers, schools, and districts to design innovative project-based learning experiences that allow students to make a meaningful impact on people, communities and society. We dive into two Sustainable Projects - Project Ocean Harvest and Project Student Voice -  and together, we unpack how through collaboration, connection and contribution, students learn, build skills, solve real-life problems, and create impactful work. We also talk about how project-based learning experiences enable teachers to become the coaches, facilitators and supporters that we want them to be so they can create the next generation of lifelong learners. We reflect on how parents, during their distance learning experience, are realizing how little we are expecting from their children at school and what boredom really looks like. Tune in to learn from an innovative leader who wants to change the fundamental learning experience for every learner in the world where each one of them has the authority and autonomy to direct their learning journey.  Listen to this episode and explore:Introducing Trevor Soponis and sharing highlights from today's episode (1:03)Reflecting on formative classroom experiences; what he would have preferred to learn in high school (4:00)Deciding to study English and becoming a teacher in an alternative high school in NYC (6:43)Discussing the Small Schools Movement and reflecting on transformation in K12 (9:12)Pursuing his Masters in Education and PhD in Learning and Teaching (11:45)Exploring the impacts of ecological and environmental education programs during his PhD (15:10)Deciding to found The Sustainable Learning Programs to put his research findings into practice (16:42)Reflecting on his career experiences that led him to create The Sustainable Learning Programs (18:55)The Ocean Harvest Project: re-designing the biology course curriculum and training students on their potential future work in Alaska (20:44)The origin of the Ocean Harvest Project: co-designing a project for learning and impact on the community  (23:28)Unpacking student’s learning experience and future plans for the Ocean Harvest Project (24:50)Discussing how Trevor collaborates with teachers in co-designing the project-based learning experience that enables students to enjoy learning and prepare for their future jobs (29:05)How Trevor creates international networks of schools where student can connect with other learners beyond the walls of their respective classrooms (30:14)The Student Voice Project: how students create and share content based on their personal preferences (31:52)The origin of the Student Voice Project: Trevor’s lifelong dream to connect students across time and space academically (34:44)What students enjoy while contributing to the Student Voice Project (36:38)How The Sustainable Learning Projects create models that lead to transformational change in K12 education (37:55)The role that parents can play in their children’s learning, especially after their distance learning experience (39:27)How The Sustainable Learning Projects are creating pathways to drive lifelong change in K12 education (45:17)How teachers can start with a 3-week project-based learning unit using free resources (48:12)What Trevor wants to leave his mark on within his lifetime; the ultimate goal he aspires to achieve for lifelong learners around the world (49:42)Parents’ awakening during distance learning amid the pandemic (51:37) Where to find more about Trevor Soponis:LinkedInTwitter  Mentioned in this episode:The Sustainable Learning ProjectsThe Small Schools Movement Small Schools: The Edu-Reform Failure That Wasn't   Production team:Host & Producer: Maria XenidouIntroduction Voice: David Bourne  Contact us:impactlearningpodcast(at)gmail.com  Music credits:Like Lee performed by The Mini VandalsTransition sounds: Swamp Walks performed by Jingle Punks

For TeachLab’s tenth and final Failure to Disrupt Book Club we look back at Justin’s live conversation with regular Audrey Watters and special guest Kevin Gannon, professor and director of the Teaching and Learning Center at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. Together they discuss the final chapter of Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education.“My institution is where you have students who are living in their cars, students who can't get basic needs, students who are working three jobs and need some technical solution to help them manage this workload. But they're not in those conversations about the tools that we have available to us, to adopt. I don't know what the solution to that is. But I don't think Ivy League graduates designing these products that look like the app students use, so they're more comfortable with it- I don't think that's the answer.”   -Kevin GannonIn this episode we’ll talk about:Kevin’s edtech stories - Gopher/PearsonTakeaways from the final chapter and the whole bookEdtech amnesiaTheories of Change“Disruption”Responsibilities of schools vs. society“Clunky” Student Information SystemsLack of student voice in edtech decision makingNext book recommendations Resources and LinksCheck out Kevin Gannon’s book Radical HopeCheck out Audrey Watters' book Teaching Machines: The History of Personalized LearningCheck out Sustainable.

Sam and Emma host MIT professor Justin Reich (@bjfr) on his latest book Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education on remote learning's failures during the Covid crisis and how we can improve schooling in the event of future pandemics. On today's show: Biden gives bid of support to Alabama workers and their right to unionize. Sam and Emma host MIT professor Justin Reich (@bjfr) on his latest book Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education on remote learning's failures during the Covid crisis and how we can improve schooling in the event of future pandemics. While Silicon Valley has promised great advancements in education through trendy new technology, it hasn't exactly panned out that way. Examining things like proctoring software (which functions like spyware), auto-grading, and MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses), Reich shows how tech alone cannot mitigate inequality or revolutionize education. On the fun half: Jen Psaki says Cuomo accusers deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, supports independent investigation. Asked about Biden administration decision to not sanction MBS personally and general accountability, Jen Psaki says US will hold Saudi Arabia accountable, suggests US doesn't sanction heads of state personally. Trump hints that he might run again, beating Democrats a "third time" (crowd goes wild). Fox and Friends pumped that Trump is back, Kilmeade says Trump looks thinner, he wants to unite the GOP. Right wing figure espouses Qanon beliefs during CPAC panel, talks about being canceled for addressing Q, child trafficking and finding out what's really going on. Reporter asks if WH is pushing harder for Neera Tanden than $15 minimum wage. Asked about horrible death rates in South Dakota, Kristi Noem says press should ask same question to other governors.

In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, podcast host Kiran Kodithala (CEO of N2N Services) welcomes a new guest: David Blake, Founder of Degreed. David and Kiran continue the discussion about determining the value of a college degree, and David reviews how his company Degreed is making it easier for employers to evaluate skills for non-traditional educational paths. Both Kiran and David are self-professed lifelong learners. The problem is, currently only certain types of learning milestones are taken into consideration by employers, notably a four-year college degree. When companies eliminate job candidates based on this requirement, they are missing out on an unknown amount of talent. Meanwhile, countless skilled individuals who lack a college degree are losing years of increased salary, even if their skills and abilities exceed what their current job calls for, because they don’t meet this requirement. It is within this context that David shares Degreed’s mission and goals. David believes that schools and employers often weigh learning inputs more heavily than learning outputs. Degreed seeks to change that by rewarding demonstrated mastery of certain skills, rather than simply rewarding someone for completing a class. Listen now to hear how David began his journey in education technology, what Degreed has to offer both individual learners and employers, and why it’s so important to earn “credit” for self-guided lifelong learning that takes place outside of the classroom but doesn’t fit the mold for traditional educational background. Discover more about Degreed by visiting their website and following on LinkedIn or @degreed on Twitter. You can also connect with guest David Blake on LinkedIn and follow @davidblake on Twitter. Don’t forget to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.   See you in the next episode.

What if you were told that your own Ignorant Truths is getting in the way of progress? What opportunities could exist if you owned your Ignorant Truth to collaborate, learn and connect more? And how do you feel about the need for Ferocious Warmth is leadership? Tracey Ezard is an author of two books, ‘The Buzz – Creating a Thriving and Collaborative Staff Learning Culture’ designed for education leaders to support schools to bring about transformation in the classroom and ‘Glue. The Stuff that Binds Us Together to do Extraordinary Work’ for leaders across all sectors who want to lift beyond convention to create high performing teams. She is currently working on her third book ‘Ferocious Warmth: Connecting Heads and Hearts to Transform Education’. As a speaker, author, educator and mentor, Tracey helps teams thrive by focusing on building collaboration and learning.  Her Buzz Diagnostic has been used by over 400 schools and has had over 4000 educators participate. Tracey has run leadership programs for education and system leaders for over 15 years in all education sectors in a number of states and in New Zealand.

She builds the capacity of leaders and staff to create an energy buzz about the work and alignment on the future plans. She helps leaders and staff co-create and collaborate - and most importantly, learn deeply with each other as they do so. In this podcast we talked about: -       The duality of leadership -       The need for Ferocious Warmth amongst our leaders -       Creating the space for learning and unlocking the brilliance of others -       How our own assumptions, our Ignorant Truth, gets in the way.

In Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education, Justin Reich delivers a sobering report card on the latest supposedly transformative educational technologies. Reich takes readers on a tour of MOOCs, autograders, computerized “intelligent tutors,” and other educational technologies whose problems and paradoxes have bedeviled educators. Learning technologies―even those that are free to access―often provide the greatest benefit to affluent students and do little to combat growing inequality in education. And institutions and investors often favor programs that scale up quickly, but at the expense of true innovation. It turns out that technology cannot by itself disrupt education or provide shortcuts past the hard road of institutional change.

In this epsidoe of Cool Science Radio the Director of the MIT Teaching Systems Lab , Justin Reich, delivers a sobering look at the educational technologies that promised to upend traditional approaches to schooling, as the United States reckons with the possibility of long-term distance learning due to widespread COVID-19 school closures. Justin's new book is Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education.

While technology has profoundly disrupted virtually every sector of our economy, it hasn't had that large an impact on American education. Teachers are using more technology today, but the essential model hasn't changed that much, despite tech proponents argument that algorithim and peer-guided learning can transform the system. At least that was the case until the pandemic. COVID-19 is providing a massive experiment in technological learning, as most American classrooms involve some form of distance technological learning. Justin Reich is a Professor of Compartive Media Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and director of MIT's Teaching Systems Lab. He is the host of the podcast TeachLab and has written about education and technology for Education Week , The New Yorker , and The Atlantic , and is the author of "Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education."

New book alert! Author and educational researcher, Justin Reich, share about his new release, Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education from Harvard University Press. Justin is the Mitsui Career Development Professor at MIT. 

In the 2000s and 2010s, education technology evangelists promised that new learning media would transform schooling and education. Then, a pandemic shut down schools all over the world, and online learning face a pivotal moment, and left a global public mostly disappointed. Instead of adaptive tutors, artificial intelligence, MOOCs or other new technologies, most learners got digital worksheets on learning management systems and ZOOM lecturers. "Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education" explores the recent history of large scale learning technologies to explain why technology provides such uneven support—useful in some contexts but not others, to some people but not others—to learners. The book concludes by examining four as-yet intractable dilemmas that learning media researchers and designers can use to identify persistent challenges in using technology to accelerate human learning. Justin Reich is the Mitsui Career Development Professor of Comparative Media at MIT, and the director of the MIT Teaching Systems Lab. He is the host of the TeachLab podcast, the author of the forthcoming book Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education from Harvard University Press, and the instructor for six massive open online courses on EdX and available through the MIT Open Learning Library.

Do you remember the doodling you did on ur school desks and notebooks? It was an expression of your beautiful imagination and the knowledge. I feel education should provide that space and that blank canvas to each and every child to express in whatever form he/she might feel happy to choose. Be it art, music, talking ,creating or writing. This podcast is my step forward in trying to Transform Education by brainstorming ideas and thoughts that can help in redesigning and redefining the present day education system. Let's talk to people and find answers to some of the questions which will bring us closer to our goal. What does education mean to people? How can we make everyday teaching and learning a fun journey for the student as well as the teacher? Is GAMIFICATION the Mantra for happy classrooms?

Schooling is a very formative part of our childhood and upbringing; it took up 8 hours of our day, 5 days of the week, for at least 16 years of our lives. It's made us think about the purpose of education, and how this was shaped throughout history. Ysabel Ojoylan joins us to share what she's learned aboutthe supposed ideals of American education and how in the modern day we fall short of these goalspolicy examples as well as personal stories and observations that have shaped what education now looks like (i.e. would you choose to send your child to a private school or public school? is education truly a right or is it still a privilege?)and findings from psychology that can truly transform education equity.⟡ Find Ysabel on Instagram! https://instagram.com/ysabelmariahWatch our highlights for this episode!⟡ Understanding the Goals of American Education | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJh9pCOcZqk⟡ Simple Interventions to Transform Education | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yc4uZKucx4Articles & Organizations mentioned:Tandemhttps://www.tandembayarea.org/"Since 2003, Tandem® has engaged the whole community to ensure all families have the resources, skills, and confidence they need to support their children's kindergarten readiness.

Our guest today is Justin Medved. He is the Director of Learning, Innovation, and Technology at The York School - a K to 12th-grade independent day school in Toronto, Canada. Justin leads the way in professional development for faculty to ensure that technology is integrated into the classroom, and 21st-century pedagogy is developed to enhance learning. The York School was the first school in Canada to implement a 1-1 laptop program, and thereby positioned itself as a tech innovator early in the game. Justin has spent more than 10 years expanding and improving the school’s tech offering. He is an Apple Distinguished Educator and a Google Certified Innovator.In this episode, Justin articulates what it means to be a 21st-century learner/teacher/school.He gives specific strategies for how to start from the “why” technology is needed in education to the “how” it can be implemented. Listen and take note of how a school can improve its value proposition and increase enrollment by embracing technology as a non-negotiable basic skill needed for the future. If you want to learn about the role of tech in schools, this conversation is not to be missed.Quotes:5:52 “We as an institution needed to figure out where tech belonged within the tried and tested traditions of the past; new pedagogy needed to be crafted and woven into the way our school operated.”11:30 “The broad awareness of just how many skills are required to exist in the world today goes well beyond what a traditional education can deliver.” 15:30 “People want confidence that the school knows where it’s going (with technology).”23:35 “Schools are very complicated organisms. It’s so easy to come up with a change and aspire to have a change that ultimately contributes to your school’s value proposition in the market or increases enrollment, but realizing that change takes a lot of energy with a lot of stakeholders involved and its not as simple as a few Saturday PD days and some newsletters.” 25:34 “A brave school - or a school that really ends up implementing change well doesn’t lose sight of the long-term stewardship required on some of these big initiatives.”30:50 “The mindset you (a teacher) have to adopt is one of continuous learning; the teacher has to come to the table with a growth mindset and a willingness to ask questions, seek help, and drive towards competency.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Seth Godin, This Is Marketing - https://seths.blog/tim/Dr. John Paul Kotter - the Konosuke Matsushita Professor of Leadership, Emeritus, at the Harvard Business School, and best-selling author - https://www.kotterinc.com/8-steps-process-for-leading-change/Grant Lichtman, nationally recognized thought leader in education and author of, “Moving the Rock: Seven Levers WE Can Press to Transform Education” - http://www.grantlichtman.com/Cohort 21 https://cohort21.com/The Strategic Change Accelerator https://www.cais.ca/professional-development/strategicchangeacceleratorThe York School - https://www.yorkschool.comWhere to learn more about Justin Medved:Twitter - https://twitter.com/jmedvedBlogs - http://medagogy.edublogs.orgJustin on Linkedin https://ca.linkedin.com/in/justinmedved

A Profound Impact On June 8, 2018, Professor Todd Kennedy was visiting Spain with his wife. They were headed to dinner to try a dish they had seen Anthony Bourdain feature on his hit CNN show "Parts Unknown."   Walking en route to that meal, Kennedy and his wife heard the tragic news that resonated around the world,  Bourdain had died. "It shocked me on how much it moved me. Because I'm not normally moved by celebrity deaths," said Kennedy. "And it shook me for days. Really, almost as if I lost somebody that I knew." The impact of Bourdain's death surprised Kennedy. He considered himself a bit of a Bourdain fan, but he's by no means a "superfan." A Bold Move So Kennedy, who has a Ph.D. in 20th Century American Literature and Film, started to analyze why Bourdain's death had such a personal impact. And he realized all the brilliant ways Bourdain looked at cultural studies, film studies, and literary studies. Professor Todd Kennedy. Credit: Todd Kennedy Twitter "We talk about being an inter-disciplinarian and we talk about connecting between different ways of approaching culture," said Kennedy. "We rarely just take the whole enchilada and approach it in one go. And that's what Anthony Bourdain did every single week, and he did it quite brilliantly the more I realized." So Kennedy, who teaches at Nichols State University in Louisiana, started thinking about ways he could teach a course about Bourdain.  He says it began as a hair-brain idea, but the more he mulled it over, the more complex and meaningful the concept of the course became. In Episode 73, Kennedy tells us how he pitched the idea to his superiors and ultimately got approval for a three-credit course titled “Anthony Bourdain and His Influencers.” So, it's happening. For real. And I doubt they ever let me do this again. So spread the word to interested Nicholls students: a cross-listed literature and film studies course on Anthony Bourdain and his Influencers @PartsUnknownCNN pic.twitter.com/eZXTcaWaIR— Todd Kennedy (@NSUFilmStudies) September 19, 2018 In Spring of 2019, the course will be available on campus and online. Kennedy says you can enroll in the online course even if you're not a student at Nichols.

This week, we bring you part two of our conversation with Grant Lichtman, author of Moving the Rock: Seven Levers WE Can Press to Transform Education. In today’s show, Howard and Grant explore a few important questions for our K-12 and higher education leaders: What kinds of skills are needed by students beyond knowledge acquisition? What does it mean to develop the skills of a life-long learner in this age of accelerating change? How do we prepare students to have a resiliency in their capacity to remain open to learning and what happens to the institutions that don't make this shift? In the context of higher education, the struggle for change is happening on two fronts; how do institutions position themselves to attract students and families that celebrates their uniqueness in the market, and how do educators transition the classroom experience to one of deep learning, preparing graduates for complexity beyond the classroom? Together, Grant and Howard offer insights from their work that provides parallels between the effort to adapt that impacts K-12 and higher ed alike. About Grant Lichtman Grant Lichtman is an internationally-recognized thought leader on the transformation of K-12 education. His work with leadership and teams focuses on developing a comfort and capacity for innovation in a rapidly changing world. For almost 15 years, Grant was a trustee and senior administrator at one of the largest independent schools in the United States. Since 2012, Grant has visited more than 125 schools and districts, published three books, written numerous articles, and worked with thousands of school and community stakeholders to develop unique and powerful visions and strategies for transforming education away from the Industrial Age and towards future-focused models of deeper learning.

What if we could get millions of young people good jobs, free them from college debt, and give the economy a big boost? This episode's guests say we can do it — if we just follow a proven model from Switzerland, now being tried and tested with promising results here in the United States. It's an update of an ancient concept: apprenticeships. Students attend high school while also working and learning at a real job. Everyone benefits: young people, employers, schools, and the economy overall. We’re learn about it from two experts: Dr. Katie Caves is a post-doctoral researcher with the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at Switzerland’s Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. That’s like the Swiss version of MIT -- Albert Einstein studied and taught and there. Katie grew up in the Bay Area of California.   Vinz Koller is an expert on US workforce development policy and the Director of Training and Technical Assistance at Social Policy Research Associates in Oakland, California. SPR "provides customized services in evaluation, organizational development, and facilitation and training." Vinz grew up in Switzerland.   Show links and files: KOF Swiss Economic Institute:  Social Policy Research Associates: www.spra.com CApprenticeship2.0 LinkedIn group: www.linkedin.com/groups/13555551/profile "Training for Growth" report on Colorado apprenticeships: www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/164859  

Our guest today returns to share the story of his research toward his latest book and his work understanding the nature of change in education today. In Grant Lichtman’s latest book, Moving the Rock: Seven Levers WE Can Press to Transform Education, he outlines the three fundamental questions facing education today: Why should we change, what is the change going to look like, and how do we get there? In the context of higher education, the struggle for change is happening on two fronts; how do institutions position themselves to attract students and families which celebrates uniqueness in the market, and how do educators transition the classroom experience to one of deep learning, preparing graduates for complexity beyond the classroom?

Feelings of isolation occur with some regularity among educators. Teachers spend much of their day separated from peers in classrooms that can become silos. However, technology is providing new ways for teachers to connect with peers both near and far. Our guests today walk us through the process of getting connected. Rob Mancabelli, co-author of Personal Learning Networks: Using the Power of Connections to Transform Education. Lisa Nielsen, author of the book Teaching Generation Text. Nicholas Provenzano is a high school English teacher that is passionate about integrating technology into the classroom. Second grade teacher, Erin Klein has her Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction and is the technology co-chairperson for the Michigan Reading Association.

Erez Weinstein is a lifelong entrepreneur in diverse industries, tech and non-tech. Currently, Erez is working on new ways to create hospitality brands in the sharing economy space and a new approach to define schools position in the community. By challenging the current business model and structure of private schools, Erez aims to create a tuition free, self-funded education hub providing new opportunities for students, teachers, investors and entrepreneurs. Mission: Being a father himself, Erez is invested in the educational system that is molding his children's minds. Seeing a large gap between the way that kids are taught and the skills needed for adults to succeed, Erez connected to an idea for making a shift. Developing a strong base of knowledge for what is currently being done, he connected to the idea for a new educational system and a path to bring that idea to reality. Mindset: It's easy to see how passionate Erez is about this innovative idea. While he's not blind to the road ahead, he's focused on building a team of like-minded influencers that can share in the vision and bring it to reality. Marketing: Once launched, Erez envisions that the success of the students will drive demand for enrollment. Imagine a high school graduate accepting a $45k offer from Google upon graduate. That could become, not the exception, but the norm, when project-based learning is implemented on this level. Masterminds: I love Erez's description of the value and relevancy behind project-based learning.  His comparison between the current day focus on individual achievement in school, versus the real-world success of building the right team. Mastermind Challenge: Project-based learning has a lot of similarity to group masterminds. Do you have a specific goal that your working towards? Revenue target, number of blogs to create, number of clients to onboard... what if you stop leaning on just yourself and your own self-motivation and great an amazing group to hold you accountable and become your sounding board? This is your mastermind, and it will make all the difference. Click the link below to check out our upcoming FREE masterminds happening here in Atlanta.
