Education Evolution

It's impossible to get around media these days. We're constantly inundated with images and content on social media, in our search browsers, on television, and even walking or driving down the street.

As adults, we know that looking critically at the media is important, as is asking questions about what we see. Our children are often the target of that media, though they don't have that same insight. It's time we teach them--starting from a very young age.

This week on the podcast, guest Amy Jussel shares how to use counter-marketing to help kids be more media savvy. We talk about the importance of asking questions about what's being marketed to us and to our children so they can develop into critical thinkers.

Our kids are consuming media from the moment they're aware of it, and the sooner we make them aware of it the better. Thankfully, we have incredible resources like Amy and her initiative to help us.

Listen in!

Amy Jussel is the founder of ShapingYouth.org, tapping the same persuasive tools & techniques of industry insiders to flip media and marketing messages in a healthier direction by educating with a "behind the scenes" lens to deconstruct data from all walks of life. As a former ad agency writer/producer and journalist, Amy has over 30 years of experience in applied science in this realm. Using entertainment as a conduit for media literacy and health sciences, she's created hands-on games, learning tools and children's books for critical thinking in the digital space that have been a hit with adults and children alike to "m-power" learning.

If you’re an educator, you’ve heard about PLCs, professional learning communities. Some see these as a way for groups of educators to gather and talk about students, outcomes, and future plans. Others see these as an excuse for another meeting.

The problem with PLCs is that there’s no focus on the educator; it’s all focused on someone else’s ideas of what outcomes should look like. That’s why I was so excited to welcome Danny Bauer back to the podcast to talk about his new book and how we can truly support educational leaders outside of the classroom so they can really make the impact our students need.

We talk about the value of masterminds, why it’s so vital that school leaders have mentors, scarcity mindset vs. abundance thinking, and how Ruckus Makers can help transform schools.

If you haven’t listened to Danny’s first episode on this podcast, be sure you tune into that too!

Daniel Bauer is an unorthodox Ruckus Maker who has mentored thousands of school leaders through his Better Leaders Better Schools blog, books, podcasts, and powerful coaching experiences. 

Mastermind: Unlocking Talent Within Every School Leader is a book that reimagines what professional development for school administrators looks like in order to meet the needs of all school leaders who currently feel isolated and overwhelmed.

We know that every child is created differently; that means they learn and communicate differently too. Sometimes that can be frustrating—for both the child and the caregiver or parent.

Imagine trying to communicate in your own way and having others think you’re acting out or “misbehaving” on purpose. Often our neurodiverse kiddos are just trying to be heard but they don’t know how to communicate their needs and wants.

On this episode, we’re talking with Holly Blanc Moses, a psychologist and behavior expert who helps support neurodiverse children and their families to help improve communication and reduce frustration for everyone involved.

You’ll hear her offer communication alternatives that take children’s differences into account and give ideas of how we can all be detectives to truly get to the root of the child’s needs—which is exactly what we all need to do if we want inclusive, supportive environments for our kids.

With our current top-down education model, where the bottom line at the administrative level seems to be more important than whether our kids learn, creativity has been thrown out the window. We’re teaching to the test, rather than fostering the four C’s (creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication), tools that are necessary in our workforce. What if our curriculum focused on creative problem solving that’s realistic and engaging, that our kids are excited about learning?

This week on the podcast, we’re talking to author Chad Stewart, who has created a media empire that brings the world of Britfield to kids across the globe. His realistic adventure series and workshops model how to engage students in the classroom and out. In the conversation, we talk about bringing more fun into classrooms, how to make writing easier for authors, and how to open opportunities for learners.

Listen in now!

Welcome to the World of Britfield: a media empire that is impacting and improving education, literacy, and media while bringing encouragement to children and families worldwide. One of the most awarded books in fiction, Britfield & the Lost Crown is taking the World by Storm. This timeless adventure series is transforming literature while fostering creativity and critical thinking. Seven extraordinary movies (2023) will follow the 7-book series.

Born in Newport Beach, California, Chad Robert Stewart is an award-winning and bestselling author, international strategist, prominent speaker, and creativity educator. He founded the prestigious Britfield Institute, a non-profit dedicated to creativity and literacy; and Devonfield, a media empire committed to the highest quality in education, publishing, and film production. He received a Bachelor of Arts in British Literature and European History from Brown University; earned an M.B.A. from Boston College; and is pursuing a Master of Science in Advanced Management and a PhD in Creativity and Innovation at Claremont Graduate University. Now based in San Diego, he is a strong supporter of education and the Arts; professor at Fermanian School of Business, Point Loma Nazarene University; and Past President (Board of Directors) of the San Diego Ballet.

But educational inequity on a global scale is equally troubling. There are schools and communities without technology, books, or even electricity, which makes teaching and learning an even bigger challenge.

Today’s guest decided to do something about that. After a series of life-altering events, she took a hiatus from her job as an attorney and traveled to South America to heal. What she discovered was a deep desire to help underserved communities and children. And School the World was born.

Listen in to hear how Kate is ensuring that equity is a conversation we’re having both in the U.S. and across the globe.

Kate Curran left her career as an attorney in 2007 to travel the world. Her personal call to action followed the sudden death of her brother, father and mother in under two years. Her mother’s last words, “I’ve had a great life,” and her father’s lifelong commitment to public service inspired her to begin a journey to define “a great life” that took her across four continents.

For Kate, her year-long journey was a course in gratitude: gratitude for the majesty of the world evident in Patagonia’s Glaciers National Park, gratitude for the sacrifices of others so evident in Normandy, and gratitude for the sacrifices her parents made for her own education. But it was the 12 children sharing one pencil in a Tanzanian classroom, the young children working under the hot Andes sun, and the children crossing through crocodile-infested waters to get to school in a Zambian village who moved her to action. Inspired by that gratitude and the lengths to which the world’s children will go for an education, Kate founded School the World to fight extreme poverty at its roots by bringing quality education to the world’s poorest and marginalized children.

It was a vision founded in gratitude that led Kate to School the World. It is through dedicated supporters and partners that this vision became reality.

In 11 years, School the World has built 106 schools and 56 playgrounds, stocked 547 classroom libraries, empowered 7,119 parents to be their child's "first educators," extensively trained 3,980 teachers and educated 12,070 children.

Additionally, its newest program for middle schoolers has given scholarships to 506 young adolescents so that they can continue their education past elementary school and learn the digital and life skills necessary to build brighter futures for not only themselves, but their families.

Students are not data points, but that’s exactly what they look like in the traditional public school setting. Because it’s not the teachers making decisions about what happens in the classroom; it’s legislators and curriculum companies and lobbyists.

On this episode of the podcast, I’m talking with Jeannine Jannot about “disintegrating students,” those kids who feel lost and unmotivated because school just isn’t fun anymore. And though some kids might be high-achieving, they’re simply not learning at all.

Our children are looking at cheating as a viable option to getting by, and our teachers are handcuffed by state testing. Rather than looking at childhood development and what’s best for our children, we’re rooted in achievement culture and checking off boxes.

It’s got to stop, and we’re hoping that conversations like this are a step in the right direction.

Dr. Jeannine Jannot is an academic coach and the author of The Disintegrating Student: Struggling But Smart, Falling Apart, and How To Turn It Around. She has over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults in both public and private school settings.

Jeannine has a master's degree in school psychology from Ohio State University and a doctorate in child and developmental psychology from the University of Connecticut. She began teaching college psychology courses in 2010, and in 2014 she founded The Balanced Student.

Originally from Ohio, Jeannine lives in Milton, Georgia with her husband, Tom. They have three children, Ryan, Maddie, and Kat. You can learn more about her at JeannineJannot.com.

The pandemic has impacted us all. Financially, emotionally, physically, and in ways that we probably haven’t realized yet. We’ve also watched our kiddos struggle, both at home and at school.

It’s time to think of our kids’ brains as more than a vessel to store the information we’re throwing at them. They’re more prone to depression and anxiety than we may realize.

On this episode, we’re exploring how our kids are handling the pandemic and its aftermath (not well) and what we, as educators, “safe adults,” and parents can do to support them. I give you three suggestions on how we can lessen the pressure that our youth are feeling and spotlight the amazing progress that one Colorado school has made.

The internet allows us to live in a more connected, global community. However it’s one thing to read about other cultures and something else entirely to experience it personally...no matter what your age.

This week on the podcast I’m chatting with Scott Marshall of Semester at Sea about the life-changing experience of not just studying abroad but also learning about the culture and history of multiple countries and destinations. (And Semester at Sea isn’t just for youth; there’s a lifelong learner program, too!)

Learning about other cultures helps to bridge the gap across oceans and countrysides and helps us to become more empathic. Scott has found that the way his program is structured changes the brain chemistry as it allows participants to test biases and reflect on themselves--before, during, and after travel. 

This is such an interesting conversation and I’ll bet that you’ll be looking up the next Semester at Sea program before you’re done listening!

In Scott's role as the President and CEO, he is responsible for the overall strategic direction and financial well-being of the Institute for Shipboard Education and the Semester at Sea program.  He works to advance the mission of Semester at Sea and ensure sustainable revenue in partnership with the Senior Leadership Team (Advancement, Academics, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications and Operations & Risk Management), the over 70,000 Semester at Sea alumni and the ISE Board of Trustees.  Scott collaborates closely with Colorado State University, the Academic Partner to Semester at Sea, and stewards strong support for the philanthropic community.

Prior to the position of President and CEO, Scott served as Vice President of Academic Affairs at ISE/Semester at Sea and various leadership roles at Portland State University, including Vice Provost for Academic and Fiscal Planning and Interim Dean and Associate Dean of Graduate Programs in the School of Business.  Scott earned his Ph.D. in International Business from the University of Oregon, a Master of International Affairs from George Washington University and a Bachelor of Science in Business Economics from Willamette University.

Kids (teenagers!) are so hard to understand, right? That’s because they are part of their own culture; it’s called Youth Culture. And unfortunately, most schools don’t teach with their culture in mind. Instead, schools are focused on traditional (adult-perspective) teaching methods. Methods that don’t work.

Imagine schools that not only teach in ways that engages students but that also helps our youth learn true real-world skills that they can take with them into their post-secondary lives. Sound like fiction?

It’s not. This week’s guest, Jamel Mims, is spearheading a movement to implement culturally responsive programming in high schools. This means he’s helping schools and students leverage the teens’ innate ability to teach themselves with the tools available to them (um...the internet) and creating classrooms that allow them to thrive.

This is the direction education needs to go, and you can do it in your schools, too!

Jamel Mims is a bilingual rapper, interactive media artist, and edtech cofounder with over a decade of experience implementing culturally responsive programming in high schools across New York City. A Fulbright Scholar who studied hip hop culture in China, his work is firmly rooted in centering youth culture in academic spaces, and ranges from developing curriculum that uses original hip hop music to teach test prep, creating virtual reality and mixed reality experiences, public demonstrations and social justice campaigns. 

An emerging leader in the field of culturally responsive pedagogy, he has presented at New York Tech Meetup, Google for Education, SXSW Edu and SXSW Interactive. His work in music, technology, education and activism has been featured in the  New York Times,  The Nation, VICE, Complex, the Economist and more.

Do you remember what it was like to sit in a history classroom? If you’re like most Americans (88%, according to the Nation’s Report Card), you didn’t pay much attention. Facts and statistics have played such a big role in educating our youth, and that has turned so many off from even learning history.

According to this week’s guest, veteran and author Paul Hemphill, “If you don’t know what your country stands for, how will you stand up to our enemies, both foreign and domestic; you cannot defend what you cannot define.” 

Thankfully, he has a solution. Creating a change in the way we teach history--through story and encouraging an emotional connection with the content.

Listen in to this episode, where Paul talks about interrupting patterns in teaching, showcases his storytelling abilities, and shares about his free solution to today’s history education problem.

Tune in now!

Paul Lloyd Hemphill is the author of 5 books, the producer of over 200 videos, and is the narrator of 3 of his own books. His latest book, INSPiRATION FOR TEENS, has been a best seller for the past 12 months and shot up to the #1 position in its category when the issue of critical race theory became prominent in the news.
