Episode 11 of our Amplifying Optimism in Education podcast series welcomed Kelsey Payne from Altitude Learning. We had a terrific conversation about how to shift education from a more traditional model where the teacher is viewed as the “sage on the stage,” to a student centered model that empowers and places our students at the helm! It was a lot of fun to envision what it could look like to dismantle some of the systems that have been in place for hundreds of years (and aren’t working for everyone!) and to rethink and reimagine how we can use this moment to radically shift our thinking for the benefit of all. Kelsey has a lot of wonderful experience, knowledge, and positivity that pulse throughout this episode. Heard enough? Listen now and enjoy!

In this episode, co-host Joshua Faden talks about his work building student confidence. He offers an activity that educators can use at the beginning of the school year (or all throughout the year) to get to know their students better and to begin building the foundation for a strong relationship. Through thoughtful, genuine relationships we can inspire our children to become confident, excited, lifelong learners!

Perhaps you are wondering, what does intuition have to do with learning and children? This week we talk with Janet Sussman, who, among many things, is a coach, educator, musician, entrepreneur and author. Janet explains how children can easily be taught how to tap in to their innate and natural resources through creativity, visualization and self-exploration.
