Guest : Prof John Mason | Prof of African History at University of Virginia | As protests over the extrajudicial killing of George Floyd engulfed the US for a sixth straight night, there is a sense of frustration that the country has been through this all before. Floyd’s death was just the latest in a series of high-profile cases of black people being killed at the hands of police in recent years. Years of police brutality and misconduct had previously sparked countless marches and debates on reform

This week I am back in the interviewers chair to have a natter with 2 titans of education namely: Paul A. Kirschner is Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology at the Open University of the Netherlands as well as Guest Professor at the Thomas More University of Applied Science in Belgium. Carl Hendrick teaches at Wellington College, UK, and holds a PhD in Education from King’s College London. We are discussing their new book 'How Learning Happens- Seminal Works in Educational Psychology and what they mean in practice' . Here is Carl's introduction to the book:   "Almost two years ago, I was asked by Professor Paul Kirschner to write a book with him. The original title was ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Giants’ and the basic premise was to discuss what we felt were the foundational works in education psychology and present them to educators in a way that would hopefully inform their practice. To be asked by someone of Paul’s stature was a huge honour for me and I really enjoyed reading through almost 100 years of the best evidence on learning and the weekly meetings over Skype talking about the book (and football). The chapters are divided into six sections. In the first section we describe how our brains work and what that means for learning and teaching. This is followed by sections on the prerequisites for learning, how learning can be supported, teacher activities, and learning in context. When we got near the end of the book we thought it would be good to provide some cautionary tales so in the final section we discuss what can only be described as educational Novichok in a chapter called ‘The Seven Deadly Sins of Education’ which you can download for free here." It comes highly recommended! “So often I’ve been asked to recommend a starting text for educators interested in the workings of the mind―now I have one. The text Kirschner and Hendrick offer alongside each seminal article does a wonderful job of situating the content in the broader scientific context, and in the classroom.” – Daniel Willingham, Professor of Psychology and Director of Graduate Studies, University of Virginia “As the volume of research into psychology and education grows, it becomes ever harder for researchers, let alone teachers, to keep up with the latest findings. Moreover, striking results often turn out to be difficult, or impossible to replicate. What teachers need, therefore, is good guidance about research that has stood the test of time, and practical guidance about how these well-established findings might be used to inform teaching practice, and this is why this is such an extraordinary, wonderful and important book. Paul Kirschner and Carl Hendrick have selected the most important research publications in the psychology of education, and, for each publication, they have provided a summary of the research, the main conclusions, and a series of practical suggestions for how the findings might inform teaching practice. I know of no other book that provides such a rigorous, accessible and practical summary of the last fifty years of research in educational psychology, and anyone who wants to understand how research can improve teaching needs to read this book. Highly recommended.” – Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, University College London We also have Podcast pedagogy with The Strokes, Tiger King and Ulysses! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/naylorsnatter/message

On October 30, 2019, Share Our Strength held its first ever No Kid Hungry Leadership Summit. Activists, philanthropists, teachers, chefs and other thought leaders gathered to collaborate and share best practices in the fight to end childhood hunger. This special episode of Add Passion and Stir features some of the highlights from that day. “It is just a symptom that children are hungry in this country… and the truth of the matter is that the real issue is poverty.” -George Jones, CEO of Bread for the City “If you want to lead, you have to follow. You have to follow great principles.” - John Miller, President and CEO of Denny’s Corporation“We have to find a way to connect this abundance of agriculture that we have with the children that need it the most. And that fuels the economy.” - Dorothy McAuliffe, Former first lady of Virginia “As the mother of a school teacher, it is really important that we are there for our education system because that's the best way we can look to the future.” - Renee Grisham, philanthropist “If I'm trying to teach a student who has food insecurity or who hasn't eaten, it's like trying to put a roof on a house with no foundation.” – Julie Pittman, Teacher in Rutherford County Schools, North Carolina Listen in as some of the most dedicated champions in the fight against child hunger share what Billy Shore describes as their “constancy of purpose.”

What are current market conditions like here in northern Virginia? As we begin 2017, we’re in a seller’s market. In fact, we’ve been in a seller’s market for some time. Our level of inventory is staying within the two to three-month range, but if a seller puts a pristine and well-maintained home on the market, it should sell in a matter of days. If the condition of the home is somewhat less than that, it should languish on the market for a little while longer. Since there is more demand than supply, prices have been climbing steadily at a modest rate for several years, and that should continue in 2017. Interest rates are also going up, as the rate for a 30-year mortgage sits at 4.1%. As you might’ve heard, the Federal Reserve has decided to raise interest rates even further, so that’s another phenomenon to keep an eye on. What does all this mean going forward? “We’re in a seller’s market, but there is opportunity for both sides of the deal.” If you’re a seller, the course is clear. Now is a great time to put your house on the market, as you should see many buyers come off the fence before interest rates rise again. Because our market is so strong overall, now is also a good time to be a buyer. There aren’t many bargains out there like there were during the crash, but if you look for a fair market value home, you should get what you need. There are also many innovative mortgage products coming out to help you with this. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call, email, or text me with whatever’s on your mind. I’d be happy to talk with you!
