We will continue our discussion by picking up where we left off. I suggested the need for educators to create “rupture and dissonance” or perhaps some discomfort as their act of political warfare by thinking about education through a lens of love, in order to assess whether our current educational systems and structures are serving students (that is, meeting the needs of all students) or not.

How have we traditionally been taught to view education and schooling? I will be making the case that historical and traditional views of education are dis-embodied.

In this episode I will be focusing my discussion on the ethics of care and its importance as it applies to our own being, particularly in the context of education. Learning is co-constructed by way of these various relational processes.

This is the first episode in a series that speaks to Contemplative Practice in personal and transformative change with a perspective on transforming Education as it exists today. In this episode, we discuss Sonya Renee Taylor's idea around Radical Self-Love and its's extraordinary impacts on ourselves and us in relation to the land that we live in and the world that we live in. We also briefly consider Contemplative Practice, Compassion  and decolonization as they relate to Radical Self-Love thereby becoming in better balance with our own being. This episode is for all of humanity, not just those in Education. Settle in, get comfortable with your own discomfort. Here we go. 

Welcome to G.A.P.  - the podcast where we look at educational gaps and develop stakeholder agency to proactively evoke change in our education system. I review the literature, so that you don't have to. This is a podcast that is made by educators, made for anyone who wants to listen. My name is Renata Gawlik and I have been an Educator in K-12 over the last 20 years. School's out for the day, let's get started!

On this episode, we look at normalizing the mental health conversation in schools and the barriers that stand in the way of help-seeking among adolescents. What does the research tell us and what should we do about it?
