Every December, students across Canada enjoy a two-week break to celebrate Christmas. In spring, Good Friday and Easter Monday bring further celebrations and a long weekend. But for Canadian students who want to mark celebrations in their own traditions, it often means being marked “absent” from school. A research professor who worked with high school students in Alberta says Canada should recognize celebrations like Eid, Diwali and Lunar New Year as public holidays. We speak with Dr. Rahat Zaidi, research professor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary.

Dr. Kendrick is currently the Director of Field Experience at the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. She was a K-12 classroom teacher for nineteen years specializing in Physical Education, English and Language Arts. One of Dr. Kendrick's main research areas focuses on compassion fatigue, burnout, and emotional labour in Alberta educational workers.  Dr. Kendrick is the co-producer of the Ed Students in Conversation podcast series on voicEd Radio Canada and developer of the HEARTcare Educators website. She was the recipient of the 2020 Online Teaching Award from the Werklund School of Education as well as an Emerging Scholar Award from The Learner research network in 2019.

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR THURSDAY, MAY 30th   It feels like the wait times at clinics and for doctors just keeps getting longer and longer, but is that actually the case? We catch up with Nadeem Esmail, Senior Fellow with the Fraser Institute for details on the latest data on medical wait times in Alberta compared to the remainder of Canada.   Next, a lot has been discussed when it comes to the National Pharmacare proposal for our country, but does the plan put us on the ‘right track', or are there more issues we need to iron out and discuss? We tackle the topic with John Adams, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.   We've heard a lot of concerns from parents and educators about the use of AI in the classroom, but a new tool developed by the University of Calgary is working to turn AI into a ‘positive' in the education system. We get details on the project from Soroush Sabbaghan, Associate Professor at Werklund School of Education at the U of C.

This episode was suggested to me by a few people! I was asked: Why don't you have an episode where someone interviews you? The reason - this would be a way for people to get to know you better and learn more about you and your story.  I want to say a huge thank you to Lyndsie Barrie for offering to be the interviewer for this ‘role reversal' episode. Lyndsie Barrie has been an instrumental part in turning mere ideas into viable businesses for many women entrepreneurs. In 2019, Lyndsie launched a marketing school and community called “YYC Fempreneurs”. She has gone to the next level by publishing six books educating women. Lyndsie tirelessly shares her passion for social media marketing and promotes collaboration with like-minded women through online workshops and live events in the Calgary area. Hundreds of women have found the direction, confidence and connections they need to succeed thanks to Lyndsie and her community of Fempreneurs.  Lyndsie enjoys her “me time” in the middle of nowhere swimming in a creek, sitting by a campfire with a beer in her hand, or mountain biking. She loves watching her son play football and hockey. On most afternoons, she can be found taking a 20-minute nap.   I am a mom of three boys, who are 17, 15, and 12 years old, and an educator and lifelong learner with a diversity of experience in the field of education including curriculum development, classroom teaching, and inclusive education.  I spent 4 years as a sessional instructor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary and in 2021 I received an Excellence in Practicum Supervision Award. Currently, I am an Academic Engagement Facilitator at SAIT helping to create collaboration opportunities among the research centers and academic schools to increase student engagement with applied research.  Through my book, Online Course Creation 101: A step-by-step guide to creating your first online course, and my business, Tiana Fech Consulting, I use a relationship-centered approach to help businesses create and optimize learning experiences that inspire, engage, and connect with their clients, customers, and communities.  Of course, I am also the host of this podcast - The People Teaching People Podcast - which is the place to talk about all things teaching and learning in a world where there is always more to discover.  Listen in as we talk about: [4:25] My childhood and my parents as role models and teachers [10:52] Some of my favourite teachers [17:29] The people in my life who have taught me by example [26:33] How curiosity can lead to opportunities  [33:48] My podcast journey over the last 4 years [42:48] My advice to my 10 year younger self [59:27] Advice for people who are thinking of starting a podcast   LEARNING FROM MY PARENTS Although as a teenager, I thought that I had the strictest parents in the neighbourhood, my parents taught me many things. This included being generous, the importance of relationships, and the value of experiences over things. My parents were, and continue to be, role models who have influenced the person that I am today.  The value of experiences over things plays a big part in my own family and is one of our key family values. As I did with my parents and brother and sister, my husband and I and our 3 kids do a lot of things together. This includes camping, travelling, and birthday special times. When you have 3 children, getting one-on-one time with your kids can be a challenge! Birthday special times are special outings for the birthday kiddo, one with just mom and one with just dad.      BECOMING A TEACHER From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. This dream started when I was just seven years old, inspired by an amazing teacher I had. She was incredible in every way, creating a classroom environment that was welcoming, fun, and an ideal place for learning. Her impact on me was profound, and I aspired to be just like her.  My parents believed in letting us choose our own paths.

Elisa Lacerda-Vandenborn is a professor at Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, Canada. She is currently part of several national and international research projects examining education in indigenous communities and the decolonization of mental health. Her writings explore alternate ways of understanding human suffering, challenge the dominant psychiatric worldview, and critique the Euro-American understandings of distress and disease. Her interests include understanding different ideas of self, especially in indigenous communities, and how our ignorance about these differences harms people we say we are healing. Lacerda-Vandenborn notes that “Psychology is not a very reflective discipline.” This is a conversation about lost indigenous children, psychology's blind spots, and how we can address these concerns with epistemic humility.

They have homeschooled for over 8 years and counting. Alisha supports their individualized learning needs and advocates well for them. She is a strong believer that learning must be meaningful and it is about taking risks. Her advocacy work has built a community that supports children, special needs and diversified learning. Alisha and I also talk about her reasons behind obtaining her teaching degree. I find that pursuing her education degree gives Alisha a unique perspective.

Gillette released a new one minute, 48 second commercial on Twitter recently that has generated a lot of divided, emotional reactions from consumers. The ad tackles the issues of “toxic masculinity” – bullying, sexist talk, and violence – linking them to their signature tag line “the best a man can get.” It's the latest example of a brand taking on social issues of the day. While the ad has generated some criticism, with some men saying they will no longer use their razors, has this move been overall a win for them? Host Dan Loney is joined by Michael Kehler, a Professor of Masculinity Studies at the University of Calgary in the Werklund School of Education Research, and Hank Boyd, a Clinical Professor in the Marketing Department at the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business, to discuss the strategy behind the commercial on Knowledge@Wharton.
