SEEd & Growth:  The Harvest Is Plenteous but the Laborers Are Few

In My "Right" Mind - Part I


Listen Later

In this thought-provoking episode of SEEd & Growth, we delve into the powerful intersection of neurological differences and literacy with our featured discussion, “In My Right Mind.” This episode challenges the dominant narrative around what it means to be “right-minded” by exploring how cognitive variation—often mislabeled as disorder—can be a source of innovation, resilience, and brilliance in education.

We unpack the groundbreaking white paper Rewiring Literacy, which reimagines reading development through a neuro-inclusive and culturally responsive lens. Rooted in the science of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this approach dismantles one-size-fits-all literacy models, affirming the need for instruction that honors the diverse ways brains are wired to learn.

In this episode, we explore practical strategies for equipping students—especially those on the margins—with the tools to thrive academically and emotionally. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, policymaker, or advocate, this episode invites you to reframe difference not as deficit, but as divine design.

 

Key Topics:

  • Rethinking “normal” in education
  • Neurodiversity as strength, not limitation
  • UDL and its impact on literacy outcomes
  • Insights from Rewiring Literacy
  • Cultivating identity-safe learning environments
  • Tune in for a paradigm-shifting conversation that brings clarity, compassion, and courage to the work of reimagining education for every kind of mind.
