In this episode, I interview an old friend of mine, Mike Taubman, who has dedicated his life to education. Mike isn't just teaching high school, he's helping public education in the US intersect with the perennial goals of education: Making whole humans and whole societies.   Mike teaches in Newark, NJ, at North Star Academy's Washington Park High School, a part of the Uncommon Schools network. He's currently working with colleagues to design a program for 12th graders that encourages students to reflect on their emerging sense of purpose and personal values, and then use their reflections as a foundation for career exploration, self-directed learning and, ultimately, preparation for their lives after high school.   If you liked this episode, let us know with a review.

What is this short and fragile life about?   These questions have easy answers in traditional cultures. You listen to the myths and stories of your elders and nod along. But once we're exposed to the chaos and diversity of the larger world (#thanksglobalization), the simple narratives of our ancestors suddenly seem silly and unattractive.   Rationality leads us into a desert of meaning. But it turns out that we left something important behind: Purpose   The Ten Thousand Heroes Show aims to restore our collective sense of meaning and fulfillment through demystifying purpose.   We present empirical techniques and rational arguments for taking Purpose seriously, while leaving room for fun and mystery.   And we interview inspiring humans along the way, each of whom has a clear sense of Purpose, and whose sense of Purpose has allowed their success.   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow Email: ankur@momentumlab.com 10,000 Heroes: http://10kh.show Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10000-heroes/id1565667158 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Mh2WvODShs6jwIQSd0wp1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@10kheroesshow Elephant In The Room Challenge: http://momentumlab.com Newsletter: http://momentumlab.com/podcast   About our sponsor: 10,000 Heroes is brought to you by Momentum Lab.

Join me and Sarah as she talks about the lessons she has learned in fundraising to inspire those new fundraisers listening out there who want guidance and wisdom from those of us in the nonprofit.

We're hyper-diligent about making sure that we're not interrupting. And we leave things better than when we started.” - Sarah Danzig Simon “I think, sometimes, fundraisers can forget that they're actually working on behalf of the program staff and that we work for them.” - Rhea Wong “If you are going to pursue a career in fundraising, you must be comfortable saying the words, will you make a gift to this organization of X dollars? And you need to really challenge yourself to say, is that specific task something I'm willing to do?” - Sarah Danzig Simon --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support

What if you could test run your dream job before entering the workforce? As a scientist in a lab or a marine biologist in the ocean? With the immersive learning capabilities of virtual spaces, some of our youngest students are being given that opportunity. Listen as Jessica Ochoa Hendrix, co-founder and CEO of Killer Snails, a virtual reality company building games for classrooms, along with Dr. Jacquelyn Morie and Dr. Skip Rizzo chat about how immersive learning is the future of education.   Key Takeaways: [1:52] Before she was a technologist, Jessica Ochoa Hendrix was the Director of Organizational Learning at a charter school network called Uncommon Schools. At a secret science club, she saw the beginnings of what it would take to get more young people, particularly young women, interested in science. The beginnings of her company, Killer Snails was then formed as a way to make learning even more immersive and put the students into the role of scientists even further. Jessica and her team created BioDive, a VR game for the classroom, that uses virtual and augmented reality to ensure students are capable of doing the actual tasks that scientists do in the workplace. [4:06] Dr. Morie speaks about how, from the early days, educators looked at VR as a kind of miracle medium. You can make something large or small, and we learn through embodiment. [6:53] Jessica explains where the name Killer Snails came from. Just as deadly as these creatures can be, scientists have been using their venom to create therapeutic drugs, and the dichotomy highlights how science has incredible yet bizarre creatures constantly being studied and explored. [7:32] The biggest challenge, Dr. Morie explains, is keeping up with a technology that is moving at light speed. We need schools to have supportive IT departments, so this technology can seem less daunting and overwhelming for teachers. [12:13] Jessica believes we can use VR to help students and trainees at a new job by creating memorable experiences. This can help students see themselves as future professionals, and spark a passion for fulfilling their career dreams. [14:20] Dr. Skip Rizzo talks about an example of a cognitive variable called mental rotation, where a large sample size of men outperformed women because of the way the task was presented. Noticing these biases as we build VR and augmented reality is extremely important to even the playing field and also debunking age-old biases in education. [19:39] We can use world-building games like Minecraft and Fortnite to help students learn how to collaborate and lead, even with other children across different cities, states, and countries. Dr. Rizzo suggests this has the power to change how we perceive ourselves and one another. [20:53] VR can help promote empathy, inclusion, and show us really what it feels like to walk in the shoes of someone different than us. [22:50] It is very important to make sure that the creators building our virtual worlds are reflecting all of the realities that we currently have. [24:11] VR gives users a deeper sense of agency than if they were watching TV because you are actually choosing your experience rather than being a passive participant.   Quotes: “VR speaks to our embodied self and we learn things through embodying it.” - 5:00 Dr. Morie “You need schools to have a good IT department that can support those teachers and make it less scary, and make their lives a little easier so they can convey the things that they do best to these students. - 10:40 Dr. Morie “It's really important to elicit this kind of emotional response from students and particularly girls and other people who are underrepresented in science to get this kind of emotional response because we want them to remember it.  - 14:25 Jessica “VR experiences are memorable not only because of their pseudo-physicality but because of their ability to evoke powerful emotions.” - 17:48  Jo “I think VR is going to be a powerful force in helping change behavior in a prosocial way in these areas to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.” - 20:34 Skip “If we are going to be putting people into simulations in which they are intended to have a bodied experience, we need to make sure that all kinds of bodies are being represented.”   - 22:16 Jo “It's not just making a story and putting someone in that story world, it's making an experience where the story arises from a person's choices and actions in that world.”  - 27:05 Dr. Morie    Continue on your journey: pega.com/podcast   Mentioned: Dr. Morie Dr. Rizzo Killer Snails Immersive Research Learning Network Conference BioDive! 1000 Cut Journey

Today we are joined on the Brain Booster by a VERY special guest Doug Lemov. Doug is a former   teacher and school principal. He helped found Uncommon Schools, a network of high performing schools in under privileged communities. His book ‘Teach like a champion 2.0’ describes techniques used by exceptional teachers. It has sold more than a million copies and been translated into a dozen languages. His other books include ‘Perfect Practice : 42 Rules for getting better and ‘Reading Reconsidered’. He played football at Hamilton college where he says he was the worst player of the decade! His latest book which we discuss today is called ‘The Coach’s Guide to Teaching’ Doug has had a major influence on many teachers around the world and our discussion today can only help you in your quest to be better at ANYTHING. We had a wonderful chat around some key elements of Doug’s book. Most notably the area around ‘forgetting’. As coaches and players we ignore this crucial element at our peril. The fact is we forgot most things. Most of our learning does not stick. To be efficient on the field of play learning needs to be embedded into our long term memory. We want and need to be on auto pilot to be able to perform at our best. Trying to hold strategy in short term memory is a poor way to perform. Doug reveals some brilliant strategies to make learning stick. To make your training session more effective. This is so important to consider. A great session with a great teacher!!

Four of those schools, Camden Prep, are located in Camden, NJ. Camden Prep serves over 800 students in grades K-9, and will grow to serve grades K-12 by 2023. Even though 98% of the student population qualifies for free or reduced price lunch, Camden Prep has proven that circumstances do not determine destiny – in 2015, Camden Prep was ranked the highest performing public or Renaissance school in the city of Camden and has retained that title ever since. During these challenging times, Camden Prep is working to build partnerships to ensure our students achieve continued success on their path to and through college! Natalie is my family, my friend, and a warrior for Justice, and ally to all races and has worked tirelessly to try to help stop inequality at the very earliest stages.  I called her back in April, to see how she and her school was handling Corona Virus and what I heard filled me with pride for her and absolute devastation for the reality of what these kids, and her school were up against.  This is the help that helps. This is the work that changes lives. These are the people that should be making a billion dollars for the work they do, but still struggle to survive financially. Teachers should be the most celebrated profession of all, and they need our support, love and ears.  To learn more about uncommon schools check out: https://uncommonschools.org/about-us/ To learn more about Natalie's School: Link: https://camdenprep.uncommonschools.org/ TO DONATE!!!

This week I am Joined by teacher, author and all round education guru Doug Lemov. In this podcast we talk about the massive impact Teach Like A Champion 2.0 has had on the teaching profession . Doug talks about Uncommon Schools and the art of teaching and its tools. He goes into detail about some of the techniques discussed in the books and how teachers have used them. We also talk about 'Reading Reconsidered' and it's influence on national pedagogy and the teaching of reading. We go into detail about the cultural capital of a literary canon, the importance of explicitly teaching vocabulary and the implementation of school wide reading programmes We also get an exclusive on the upcoming TLAC 3.0! Here are the discussion points in the podcast Could you tell listeners about your own personal journey in education? Could you explain the concept of Uncommon Schools and the fieldwork you undertook in the production of both TLAC and Reading reconsidered? In the introduction to TLAC , you talk about the 'art of teaching and it's tools' what do you mean by that? How is this different or possibly complimentary to the evidence based teaching movement? TLAC 2.0 has been phenomenally successful in the UK, how would you advise schools to best use the book? I find the field guide an excellent accompaniment especially when working with new teachers . Reading has been a big focus for all the schools I work with in Blackpool. We have used your work extensively along with the expertise of Alex Quigley (Closing the Vocabulary Gap) to address this . Our literacy lead Becky Jones has introduced a literary canon across our school and we now have a fixed reading period daily with pupils working through this canon. Why do you think the canon has declined and how important is book choice? Having selected a canon, what approaches to reading do you advocate in part 2 of reading reconsidered ? The fundamentals How can we build vocabulary during reading? How important is implementation in developing reading systems and what are the key phases in this process?
