25 - Spencer Goad, Music Teacher and Capoierista
Jan 7, 202300:56:53Tap to summarizeBem-Vindo (welcome, in Portuguese), Spencer Lagosta, an enthusiastic and motivating capoierista and music teacher in the public school system. He has grown a capoeira school around which a vibrant community is nucleating! He has lived around the world and brings that perspective to his music education. He weaves a melody of the various aspects of life, such as activities, community, and environment can harmonize educational experiences. We rhapsodized on the transferability of skills, eg, classroom focus, music, and movement! Check out his school if you're in the neighborhood.

24 - Bam Lionheart, Movement Coach
Dec 4, 202200:32:49Tap to summarizeHeavy lifting during this episode with Bam Lionheart. We discussed how movement connects to attention, pain, and long term health. If sitting is the new smoking, why are we asking kids to sit for 6 hours every day? What might the ideal education space (school gym) look like? Does being able to squat lead to longevity?

23 - Beth Unverzagt, Oregon Afterschool Alliance
May 28, 202200:39:35Tap to summarizeWhat a fun, philosophical and ground-level discussion about the importance of round-the-clock and calendar care for young learners. Beth brings an unmatchable passion to her dream of supporting learners. I really appreciated how she can connect the dots between "mis"-behavior, home structure, health, and resourcing learning environments. There's a 4 to 1 dollar return on investment for extended care hours beyond normal "School Hours". Well, team, how can we convince each other to poney up the money to expand these programs?

22 - Kevin Brague, JD, Education Law
May 13, 202200:58:14Tap to summarizeI feel very privileged to speak with an ally in the legal system, Kevin Brague. He fights for special needs children to get the services they need, as well as protected the civil rights of children in school. He offers insight into how we can engage the community to support schools as well as leveraging teaching aids. We touch on how we can use Medicaid dollars for special education resources, and how we as a society might rethink the segregation between medical and education funding to be, perhaps, shared through a wellness fund. We're both on the same page of integrating medical clinics into the educational buildings to ease the burden on caregiver. We both share the intuition that industrial / factory model of the economy and education is in need of an overhaul, especially given the new evidence of how environment and physiology influences a learners readiness and capacities. We explore how to incentivize bringing in the families and communities. Public schools fund $8,000 per year per student, and private schools tuition and costs can run as high as $30,000 per student per year. Though consider how much acute medical costs run for people who weren't given adequate life skills?

21 - Han Liang, MD, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
Apr 4, 202200:41:41Tap to summarizeToday we learned how to "Eat Bitter" as in the Chinese proverb chīkǔ, to endure for the later sweet, with Dr Han Liang. Child psychiatry is near and dear to my heart as a family physician who cares for many struggling youngsters. Thankfully we have Wonderful and caring providers like Han who offer compassionate catch phrases, such as "skills before pillsH and "eat bitter." We learned about the importance of peer and family supports, and how we might expand those programs to fill in gaps where traditional therapy, social work, and clinical medicine are not the right interventions.

20 - Joscha Bach, PhD, Cognitive Scientist, Intel Labs
Mar 30, 202201:13:39Tap to summarizeI had an absolute blast conversing with Joscha Bach, a cognitive scientist, who uses the tool of artificial intelligence to study the human mind and consciousness. I have learned an incredible amount from his discussions with other thinkers (linked below). I couldn't be happier that he agreed to explore the intersection of subjective experience and learning. We wound through history, philosophy, and some economics to demonstrate how systems theory might be a better lens through which to solve problems. There aren't many people that can weave a narrative about how Star Wars Episode 1 is a retelling of the Lord of the Rings (as an allegory for the industrial revolution). I can't recommend his work enough, I especially appreciate his architecture of motivation, discussed in a previous post here. I hope any listeners leave with some optimism as I did; Let's all work towards the discovery of our shared purpose in common humanity, in other words, love.

19 - Evan Feinman, JD, National Broadband Advisor
Mar 15, 202200:38:16Tap to summarizeEvan Feinman is about to start his new position as National Broadband Advisor as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. As Former Virginia Broadband advisor, his team pushed to get the number of unconnected citizens from 500,000 down to 50,000 in 4 years! I'm glad to have an alley on the national level, especially with broadband internet, which will be critical for forward-thinking learning and the future economy.

18 - Isaac Prilleltensky, PhD, Author of "How People Matter"
Mar 10, 202200:48:44Tap to summarizeDr Isaac Prilleltensky, author of How People Matter spoke with me today about the practice of meaning-making and how we matter to each other. His book is a great practical guide on co-generating meaning in relationships and how it intersects with the OneSchool Project. He has experience living in a boarding school and the benefits of that kind of community. I really appreciate the dynamic image in his wheel of mattering (see image below). He is especially quotable when referencing one's right to feel valued, "that is 100% correct, about 50% of the problem." How much of your life does that apply to?

17 - Stephanie Malia Krauss, ADVOCATE | STRATEGIST | WRITER
Feb 9, 202200:30:40Tap to summarizeHumanitarian, social worker and former educator, Stephanie, put amazing words that grabbed my intuition in her book Making IT, What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World. She is very future and human oriented in her drive to make concrete the right of children to learn and thrive, as well as examples and ideas that can help make this a reality. I love the Triple Bottom Line concept of cost benefit analysis, had never heard it before, but certainly is exactly what I had in mind. Some things are challenging to quantify, but we need to take it on and simultaneously not hypertrophy Links: The Listening Society - Hanzi Freinacht
