Learning Revolution Shows Today: "Practical Solutions and Good News," "STEMed," and "Adult Stutters" #learningrevolution


We have three live Learning Revolution shows today ("Teaching by Heart" is on hiatus, REINVENTING.SCHOOL is doing a special project on "Positive Education" to be release soon). Times are US-Eastern Daylight Time--to see the schedule in your own time zone, and to get the links to attend live in Zoom, please use the SCHEDULE page on the Learning Revolution site.

WEDNESDAY'S SHOWS (September 30th):
  • 10:00 AM - The Connected Classroom with Rusty May - a Conversation with Jim Scribner. "Jim Scribner is the principal and superintendent of a school district in Northern California and will join us to share good news about what's going right in his district and simple, practical things that he and his staff are doing to successfully deal with the challenge of distance learning."

  • 4:00 PM - "Thrive in EDU" with Rachelle Dene Poth - "Grace Suh, Vice President of Education at IBM." "For this week, I invite everyone to join in for an important and informative discussion with Grace Suh, the Vice President of Education and Corporate Social Responsibility at IBM. In her position, Grace manages IBM’s global education portfolio, including the P-TECH 9-14 School Model and SkillsBuild, both of which we will learn about in our conversation today. Prior to IBM, Grace worked at the Children’s Defense Fund, a national child advocacy organization in Washington, D.C., and has worked in city government with a focus on juvenile justice issues. Grace serves on a number of education committees and boards, including the Coalition for Career Development, Cahn Fellows Programs and Schools That Can. Grace has a master’s degree in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University."

  • 7:15 PM - "ECEL: Are you even listening to me?: Conversation about being an adult stutterer." "If you are an adult stutterer, you know what it can be like to give a presentation to a group of peers, to make a phone call, to order take-out... Your heart races, your palms sweat, your words in your brain go blank as you fear how you begin to sound as you talk. You know what you have to say is important and you wish like anything that you can be the person next to you who doesn't have to work so hard to speak. When you finally get the words out you think people are paying more attention to how the words sounded then what the words actually meant. But you push through and you keep going and you try to remain calm to show everyone you are not affected- but you are. And their eye rolls or apparent good-natured wanting to finish your word for you makes you bitter and angry inside. I am excited to talk about my journey with others on ECEL on September 30th. If you have experiences to share, are an adult stutterer, or would like to know more about what it's like, please join us in the live discussion."

See you "online!"

Tips and Strategies for Remote Learning (March 2020)

For the past four weeks, starting two weeks before our Spring Break last week, teachers, administrators and staff at our school have been preparing for “remote school” for students as a result of the coronavirus / COVID-19 crisis. On March 19, 2020, our Head of School sent out a letter to our parents including information about our remote learning plans and FAQs for parents . If your school is currently preparing for remote learning ( as all Oklahoma public school districts now appear to be , pending tomorrow’s state school board meeting vote) I encourage you to review these publicly shared documents and information. As our school’s “Technology Integration and Innovation Specialist” this year, I’ve been building an instructional site for our teachers to support remote learning, on support.casady.org , which is openly licensed CC-BY . This collaborative effort with many other teachers and members of our school staff has provided a good opportunity to curate as well as present instruc...

5 Tips for Embracing Outdoor Learning in Any Setting

In a year when all schools look different from usual, some teachers are embracing the outdoors as their classroom. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention included outdoor learning in recommended strategies for schools to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and research has shown positive instructional outcomes from such methods. Long-time outdoor educators also tout the social and emotional benefits . But getting started can feel daunting. Below are five tips from experienced teachers for trying outdoor learning in any setting. Look for possibilities in different spaces Becky Schnekser is teaching K-5 science fully outdoors this year at a private school in Virginia Beach. She has the advantage of a well developed outdoor classroom, but that’s not a prerequisite. “Any outdoor space is an opportunity, whether you have a beautiful wooded area or you have concrete jungle,” she said. From sidewalk math to history walks to socially distanced singing , educators are finding wa...

Guidance on Accreditation for Governing Boards

With accreditation under intensified scrutiny from state legislators and other quarters, two national associations have issued a joint statement reminding governing boards of the importance of higher education’s quality assurance system and the role they should play in it. The Joint Advisory Statement on Accreditation & Governing Boards 2022 , from the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, refreshes a 2009 statement the two groups issued at another time when accreditation had taken heat, then from the Bush administration’s Spellings Commission on the Future of Higher Education. More recently, legislators in Florida have proposed legislation that would require colleges to regularly change accreditors and give them the right to sue accreditors that take regulatory action against them. The Florida measure came in response to an accrediting agency’s inquiry into external influences over governance at two ...
