06. Empowering Students With AI: Lessons From the Past, Opportunities for the Future with Jody Britten

August 02, 2023 07:00 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

When Google first came on the scene, it forced teachers to change the way they taught learners and to ask “better questions”. The common adage was, if it could be Googled (by the student), it wasn’t a good question.  Now, with the rise of AI tools, we are again forced to look at our teaching methods and how to better support learners. But the question can’t only focus on how AI can or should be used by teachers. The more impactful change is in how teachers can integrate and implement AI in a ...

At the core of Katrina’s work is a program called Sources of Strength, which empowers students to take the lead in promoting mental health awareness, while receiving support from adults. This initiative creates a culture of support and connection, emphas...

04. From Blame to Learning: Exploring the Power of Just Culture with Julie Stephenson

July 05, 2023 07:01 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MB

What happens in your organization when someone makes a mistake?  Is the process about blame and punishment? Or is it about shared accountability for systems and recognizing the humanity of those involved? Today, my guest, Julie Stephenson, and I are diving into the concept of building a Just Culture. A Just Culture radically shifts the approach to accountability from punishment to taking the time to understand root causes, treating employees as whole individuals, and acknowledging their outsi...

June 14, 2023 07:01 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

We cover the interdependent components of modern learning and we talk about a continuous cycle of learning, applyin...

02. The Immunity to Change Framework: Identifying Your Hidden Commitments

May 31, 2023 07:07 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MB

In today’s world, personal growth and transformation are crucial for success and happiness. But often, we find ourselves struggling to make lasting changes. In Episode 01, we introduced the Modern Learners Lens, likening it to a kaleidoscope where beliefs, contexts, and practices come together to create a vibrant, harmonious learning culture. Today, we are going to connect the Modern Learners Lens to Immunity to Change, a powerful psychological framework from the work of Robert Kegan and Lisa...

01. The Modern Learners Lens

May 31, 2023 07:03 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

Many people think they know what learning means, but often these beliefs go unexamined and can be oversimplified or even misleading. Our intentions are usually honorable when we think of learning. But when these good intentions result in total or partial failures, we are disappointed and puzzled. We direct blame to various factors. Rarely do we ask though if it’s possible that our conception of learning was faulty, grossly simplistic, or in need of an overhaul or even discarded. In this episo...

Learning to Change: Trailer

May 31, 2023 07:00 - 2 minutes - 2.7 MB

Change is hard. It’s hard enough when you’re trying to break a bad habit or work toward a new goal, but leading change in your organization? That can feel impossible. So why is change so difficult? What most people don’t see when they acknowledge that a change is necessary is the competing commitments that work in our subconscious to keep us right where we are because it’s comfortable. When we identify our competing commitments and work to debunk our old assumptions, we can discover a path fo...

Factory Narrative Of School with Jenn Binis

May 14, 2020 17:51 - 52 minutes - 35.2 MB

Jenn Binis, President of Schoolmarm Advisors Consulting Group, shares her take on the purpose of American Public Education on today's show. She pulls the rubber band back further on the narrative of factory model schools to give us a glimpse at the more uncomfortable beginnings of public schools. She thinks the factory model narrative is comfortable, and that is why it prevails. As most people are looking to the future of schools during this global pandemic, Modern Learners is going to go ba...

#31DaysIBPOC with Dr. Kim Parker

April 30, 2020 18:50 - 39 minutes - 25.2 MB

Bringing you today's podcast guest, Dr. Kim Parker, brings me great joy! Dr. Kim Parker is a co-founder of #disrupttexts as well as a co-founder of the #31daysIBPOC project which we will discuss in great detail. Dr. Kim reminds us that teaching is political. To shy away from the idea of teaching being political means to divorce ourselves from our identities, and that is unjust. In this conversation we work to elevate the contributions our colleagues of color make to the field, their communit...

Peter Grey on Being Free to Learn During COVID0-19

April 01, 2020 11:53 - 55 minutes - 36.6 MB

At the time of the podcast recording, COVID-19 is rocking our world. The world is practicing social distancing, many states have safe at home orders, and schools are shut down until further notice. I invited Peter Grey on the podcast before the world was turned upside down by COVID-19. I wanted him to discuss his book Free To Learn along with his recent article in Psychology Today, "School Refusal: A Crime, A Mental Health Disorder, or A Human Right." We get to those things later in the conve...

Thinking Classrooms with Peter Liljedahl

February 28, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 37.3 MB

Last week, Dr. Nicki mentioned Peter Liljedahl's research on vertical, non-permanent spaces. That took me on a journey into Peter's work, and after reading all of Peter's work around Thinking Classrooms, I had to invite him to the Modern Learners podcast. Luckily, he made time in his busy schedule before we concluded our math theme. Meet Peter Liljedahl Peter Liljedahl is currently a professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He is also the President of the Canadian Mathematic...

Desmos and the Modern Math Classroom

February 14, 2020 03:56 - 40 minutes - 27.1 MB

Today, we welcome Eli Luberoff, founder and CEO of Desmos to the podcast. His math identity began to take shape when he was just four years old, but it didn't help him stay engaged in the k-12 curriculum. To this day, he does not have a high school diploma. He does, however, have a degree from Yale. So how does a high school drop out graduate from Yale and create an ed tech tool that impacts hundreds of thousands of learners around the globe? Accessible and Visible He set out to make math ac...

Conrad Wolfram on the Relevance of Math Education

January 31, 2020 18:09 - 49 minutes - 50.1 MB

Today's show is the kickoff to our math theme in Modern Learners community. We'll be exploring our beliefs about math education. We'll look at what's working, what's not, and what's possible! Considering the impact that machine learning and AI are having on the world, it's important we start to consider how these fields will impact what our learners need to know and be able to do. In order to move our math classrooms forward in the next decade, we must consider our current practices and reall...

#77 – Attention Literacy with Alec Couros

November 26, 2019 10:19 - 40 minutes - 35.9 MB

It’s hard to believe that we’re entering the holiday season already here in the US. It’s a couple of days before Thanksgiving and the real insanity is about to begin. And most of that insanity stems from the multi-billion dollar month-long war for capturing our attention. You don’t even have to turn on the television or go on Facebook to realize that the marketing beast here at the end of the second decade of the 21st Century is getting bolder, louder, and even more unending. Couple that wit...

#76 – The Power of the System with Özlem Sensoy

October 28, 2019 09:20 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MB

Welcome to the fourth and final episode in my month-long exploration of "power" in schools. I don't know about you, but I found all of these conversations fascinating in terms of how much the power relationships we have in schools impact the experience that kids have, and the extent to which we are functionally unaware of the many ways in which power influences almost every decision you make. But what I think I may have learned more than anything is the ways in which power is inherent in the...

#75 – Power and Success in the Era of Technology with Dr. Craig Watkins

October 22, 2019 08:58 - 38 minutes - 35.8 MB

This is our third podcast on the theme of power, and when you think about both the good and the bad aspects of technology and the Internet and social media over the last decade, it's hard not to conclude that like it or not, the individual has much more power in her hands today than ever before. We have unprecedented power to connect, to communicate, to create and to publish, and the reality is that many of our young adults and even younger children are beginning to take advantage of that in ...

#74 – The Power of Learners with Sylvia Martinez

October 08, 2019 15:30 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MB

We're in our second week of exploring power and power relationships in schools which is a topic that I don't think we reflect on nearly enough in schools. (Here's the first "power" podcast with Rob Fried.) There's an inherent tension when it comes to learning and power, namely how much power do you as a learner have in any learning interaction to choose not just what you learn but how and where and when. And one of the things that casts such a long shadow over this conversation is the fact th...

#73 – Power in School with Rob Fried

October 01, 2019 05:57 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

So it's a new month, and that means a new theme for our conversations, and it's a theme I've been looking forward to diving into, namely "power" and the ways in which power relationships basically define the schools we're in. Power is not something we often talk explicitly about in schools. It's a complex dynamic that is a part of almost everything we do, and it has a huge impact on any efforts we are making to change the experience of school for kids. And we are thinking about it...I mean ho...

#72 – Equity, Culture, and Community with Tricia Ebarvia

September 24, 2019 09:41 - 47 minutes - 44.4 MB

This is the fourth and final episode in our exploration of the theme community this month, and I want to say from the start, that this conversation you're about to hear on equity, community, and culture has been one that I've been struggling with recently. There are many challenges and tensions that we face in schools and education today, but none may be more complex than the one surrounding equity in terms of race and gender. There's no question that white male privilege is finally being ch...

#71 – Community as the Curriculum with Dave Cormier

September 17, 2019 16:18 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MB

So in case you may be new to the pod, each month we take on a different theme from four different angles, and this week, we're looking at our theme of community through our third lens, that of classroom practice. As in what would the classroom look like if the community itself was the curriculum? That's a question that this week's guest Dave Cormier has been grappling with for over a decade. His work around "rhizomatic learning" has generated a ton of new thinking about what classrooms might...

#70 – Virtual Community with Howard Rheingold

September 10, 2019 09:12 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MB

Welcome to our second podcast on the theme of "community." While the web has been around for about 25 years now, learning on the Internet really started way before the web was even in development. For those of us old enough to remember the days of computer modems and online bulletin boards, if you had the time and the money, you could connect to people around the world and learn all sorts of things through online communities that relied solely on text...as in no audio, video...not even any pi...

#69 – The Power of Community with Peter Block

September 03, 2019 09:32 - 41 minutes - 38.6 MB

It's a new month as we turn into September 2019 and that means a new theme for our podcasts and for our conversations in MLC, our Modern Learners Community. Podcastwise, I'm a little sad that our dive into the theme of Story in August is over. What I've learned is that we tell stories in schools in more ways that we realize, and that the narratives that we create have a huge influence on how kids and teachers experience school on a daily basis. I really hope you enjoyed that series. But now ...

#68 – Talking About Race, Culture, and Identity with Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi

August 27, 2019 14:32 - 34 minutes - 32.8 MB

This is the fourth and final podcast in our series on the theme of "story," and I hope you've enjoyed listening to them as much as I've enjoyed recording them. As many of my guests have expressed, we are in between stories in education, and this is both a challenging and exciting time for us as we grapple with the barriers to change but also dream about the possibilities of what we might create together. One aspect of the current story of schools that is especially important today revolves a...

#67 – Creating a New Story of Learning With Mary Anne Moran and John Clements

August 20, 2019 09:00 - 47 minutes - 42.9 MB

If you listened two our previous two podcasts on the topic of "story" I think you'll agree that we educators are at an interesting spot when it comes to the way we think and talk about education and schooling moving forward. The old story that you have to be somewhere at a particular time with a particular teacher with a particular group of kids who are your same age from your same neighborhood to learn a particular curriculum at the same pace and be assessed the same way is breaking, not onl...

#66 – Futurist Bryan Alexander: Stories of Change

August 11, 2019 21:39 - 42 minutes - 39.7 MB

All this month in the community we're talking about the theme of story, how the story of school and education is changing, and what we need to do to help create a new story for teaching and learning moving forward. And so along those lines, in this week's podcast I interview long time blogger, author, and futurist Bryan Alexander to help provide some larger contexts for how life stories are changing in general and how we educators might help our students navigate the next 20 or 30 years of tr...

#65 – A New Story of School Based on Beliefs

August 06, 2019 15:04 - 52 minutes - 46.1 MB

Each month our Modern Learners Community (MLC) , we take on specific theme, and in August, our theme is "story." As in what is the current story of learning we are telling in our schools, how is that story changing, and what might the new story be? And so to kick things off this month, in this podcast I interview Stephanie Pace Marshall, whose life's work has been centered around the transformation of learning and schooling. She is the founding president of the National Consortium for Second...

#64 – In Search of Deeper Learning

June 13, 2019 20:14 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Unpleasant Truth about Education #47: Kids learn more deeply in school when participating in extracurriculars than they do when being taught in classrooms. That's one of the many provocative conclusions drawn by authors Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine in their book In Search of Deeper Learning: The Quest to Remake the American High School. It's a fascinating in-depth look at how learning happens at three very different schools in the U.S., and it's also a primer on what we can do to bring more auth...

#63 – Gary Stager: “The Project Can Replace the Instruction”

May 06, 2019 19:13 - 1 hour - 67.3 MB

For over 30 years, Gary Stager has been at the forefront of those arguing for a more constructionist approach to learning. In this podcast, he discusses the power and importance of letting students experience learning by doing in every interaction with school. Gary has been greatly influenced by the work of Jean Piaget, Seymour Papert, and many others. His keynotes and presentations around the world continually push people's thinking about the ways in which children and adults learn most pow...

#62 – A Truly Global School

April 24, 2019 14:57 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MB

A lot of schools tout a "global curriculum," but not many can say that they have a truly global campus. But that's what "Avenues: The World School" is building. With physical campuses in New York City and Sao Paulo, a Shenzen, China opening this fall, schools developing in Miami, Silicon Valley, London, and Mumbai, and now an online campus for grades 6-12, Avenues may be the first school to truly span the world. In this podcast, Tim Carr, Co-Head of the Avenues Online campus not only discuss...

#61 – Creating a Different School Experience

April 15, 2019 01:06 - 48 minutes - 42.1 MB

Is it possible to create a different school experience? Given the chance to do things really differently in your school, what would you do? That's the opportunity that Peter Wieczorek has as the director of Northwest Passage High School in Coon Rapids, MN, a public charter school that is pushing the envelope when it comes to carving our new ways of preparing students for the world today. They are creating a different school experience! While a lot of schools are doing project-based learning...

#60 – Diversity is Not the Goal

February 28, 2019 17:37 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

What if diversity is NOT the goal? That's the question that our two guests dive into in this our 60th episode. Bruce and I chat with with Homa Tavangar and Eric Dozier who are collaborators at the Oneness Lab where they "seek to discover, learn and live models of cohesion and unity, toward building a better world." Together, Homa and Eric help schools and organizations "unlock mindsets that are truly global" in order to build our collective capacity to have the "social-emotional skills needed...
