It’s more important than ever to equip our students with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving world of work. Creativity, flexibility, communication, and problem solving are amongst the most highly touted skills in the workplace today, yet they are often left out of the traditional K-12 curriculum.

What would it look like to create a school culture that prioritizes developing these capabilities for all students? By teaching entrepreneurial skills, teachers and leaders can build workforce readiness into both core academic subjects and CTE pathways. In this edWeb podcast, you hear from educators who have done just that—Dr. Lazaro Lopez, Bob Brown, and Mike Drenth leveraged entrepreneurship education to ensure that all students are equipped with the skills they need to succeed in school and in life.

Research has shown that social-emotional learning (SEL) increases academic achievement, improves behavior, and contributes to the overall sense of well-being for students and teachers. However, we can’t teach what we don’t know. For that reason, SEL starts with adults. In order for administrators to create conditions for teachers and students to effectively engage in SEL, they themselves need to reflect on their personal SEL.

This edWeb podcast provides insights and ideas on how administrators and school leaders can support, empower, and inspire staff and students. Listeners:

• Reflect and build upon their personal SEL best practices
• Become equipped with engaging strategies to connect with staff and students
• Deepen their understanding of how SEL can strengthen and improve academics and overall well-being

This edWeb podcast benefits K-12 school and district leaders as well as teachers.

Listen for a lively discussion with three recent graduates from Metuchen High School (NJ). As high school students passionate about equitable and accessible mental health care, they were astonished to see that their school’s mental health resources webpage was dated, difficult to use, and not as helpful as it intended to be. So, they embarked on a mission to develop the world’s first machine learning chatbot, dedicated to serving as a comprehensive directory for high school students.

Their chatbot is designed to bridge the gap and provide assistance in coping with stress, anxiety, and various mental health challenges. The chatbot is a neural network built with a TensorFlow sequential model. They collaborated with the Hamilton Lab at the Rutgers University Department of Psychology in New Brunswick to compile training data for the model. With a focus on user experience, Myndful.AI offers a sleek and intuitive interface for direct FREE communication with the chatbot, as well as a convenient menu that provides quick access to curated resources addressing various mental health concerns.

Through this edWeb podcast, listeners are able to learn about artificial intelligence applications in the classroom and how this emerging technology can be used to support students and their mental health. In an increasingly technological era, it is important that both students and educators learn how to use technology for good to best prepare for the future.

Myndful.AI is currently available to all students nationwide. They have created custom pages for schools across New Jersey with school-specific resources. Myndful has been used nearly 40,000 times in the past three months and serves 5,000. Myndful has won many awards including the Congressional App Challenge.

While most K-12 schools are increasingly focused on career exposure and work-based learning, these career-oriented activities and lessons focus solely on skills. It’s time schools harness the full potential of career-connected learning by pairing skill building with network building.

In an 18-month pilot program led by the Christensen Institute—in partnership with three intermediary organizations representing 20 pilot sites—career-connected learning practitioners revealed the challenges and successes experienced in beginning to strategically implement network building through lessons and activities. Featuring leaders from both research and practice, this edWeb podcast reveals 10 key lessons learned in this implementation and highlight specific strategies schools can implement in the coming year.
