• This bonus episode breaks down the CALM Pillars, the structures that were my best practices for effective teaching and have now been repurposed for this podcast.

• Talking Points: 
  • A VISION must be supported by VALUES. 
  • VALUES must be enacted for the VISION to become VIABLE.
  • Pillar 1 is the Check-in (1.) AKA the Relationship Pillar; promotes mutual empathy, respect and dignity; fosters connection, self-awareness and accountability;  serves as the foundation for the other three pillars.
  • Pillar 2 is the Agenda, which creates safe and brave spaces.
  • Pillar 3 is the Lesson and is ideally designed and taught with thoughtfulness and knowledge of students' strengths, challenges and cultural contexts.
  • Pillar 4 is Management, promoting student agency and accountability.
• DM me @zenani116 with YOUR Vision for your child's or students' education; I would LOVE to share it with other Visionary listeners!
