REINVENTING.SCHOOL Thursday with Howard Blumenthal - "What About My Job at School?" #reinventingschool #learningrevolution

This week is our fourth episode of the weekly interview series "REINVENTING.SCHOOL," being held live on Thursdays at 4:00 pm US-EDT and hosted by Howard Blumenthal. 

Last week, the topic was distance learning. The recording is now available on the www.reinventing.school section of LearningRevolution.com, on YouTube, and soon by audio podcast (we'll let you know the link in future announcements).

This week, the topic is "What About My Job at School?" -- the employment of teachers and support staff, and the potential for fewer adults per school building. In the U.S., this is a particularly threatening situation because it builds upon decades of unequal treatment, but the size and depth of the global economic catastrophe provide the necessary ingredients for a long-time nightmare. Then again, this is a time of great opportunity to revise, rethink, and reconsider the best uses of available resources, both locally and globally. As with every episode, there is a larger meta layer--in this case, why the jobs exist in the first place, and whether we are providing nearly 2 billion children and teenagers with the best solutions to the problem of learning.

To watch the live show at 4:00 pm US-EDT, or to access the recordings afterward, please go to http://www.reinventing.school (or https://learningrevolution.com/reinventingschool). 

For today's topic, host Howard Blumenthal welcomes Diane Ravitch, New York University Research Professor in the Dept. of Education, author of 12 books including the recent Slaying Goliath: The Passionate Resistance to Privatization and the Danger to Our Public Schools; Cindy Cisneros, Vice President of Education Programs at the Committee for Economic Development at The Conference Board; and Gavin Dykes, from England, Managing Director of Cellcove, Ltd. and the Chair and Co-Founder of Education Fast Forward (EFF), which brings together leading global experts and change agents from the world of education. As always, we will be joined by two students from the U.S. and elsewhere. Please join us for the live show, or visit www.reinventing.school early next week to watch the recorded edition.

More about this week's guests:

Dr. Diane Ravitch is a Research Professor of Education at New York University and a historian of education. She is the Founder and President of the Network for Public Education (NPE). Her blog is dianeravitch.net and has received more than 36 million hits. Her extensive background in education and public policy includes a role as Assistant Secretary of Education and Counselor to Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander under George H.W. Bush. She was responsible for the Office of Educational Research and Improvement in the U.S. Department of Education. As Assistant Secretary, she led the federal effort to promote the creation of voluntary state and national academic standards. From 1997 to 2004, she was a member of the National Assessment Governing Board, which oversees the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the federal testing program. She was appointed by the Clinton administration’s Secretary of Education Richard Riley in 1997 and reappointed by him in 2001. From 1995 until 2005, she held the Brown Chair in Education Studies at the Brookings Institution and edited Brookings Papers on Education Policy. A leading advocate of conservative ideas for fixing America’s education system, including charter schools, standards, accountability, and high-stakes standardized testing, she began to realize that these policies were not working in 2006-2007. She began to criticize them and to criticize the federal law called “No child left behind.” with the publication of the death and life of the great American school system: how testing and choice are undermining education, she became one of the most outspoken critics of ideas she once championed.

Prior to her work at PEN, Ms. Cisneros was a Principal Research Analyst at the American Institutes for Research (AIR). Her projects at AIR involved leading state technical assistance support and implementation for college and career readiness, including as Director of Stakeholder Engagement for the National High School Center. Before joining AIR, Ms. Cisneros worked as a Senior Research Associate at the Education and Development Center. Her primary responsibilities were to evaluate school district math and science program quality and the role of teacher leaders and to provide technical assistance to urban school districts on administrative leadership practices. Ms. Cisneros received her BA in political science and economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and holds an MPA from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Gavin Dykes is a Director of the Education World Forum and the Asian Summit on Education and Skills. These are annual meetings for ministers of education and government policymakers. Gavin’s responsibilities include setting the themes for developing the agenda and negotiating the program. In January 2019, 93 Ministers attended the Education World Forum, and more than 100 countries were represented. Gavin is co-founder and chair of Education Fast Forward’s debates. He also serves on Advisory Boards for Ed-Tech organisations including the University of the People and BoClips and is an advisor to the “Educate – Better Edtech Better Learning” Project in London and Lumiar Schools in Brazil. He has worked in consultancy and advisory roles for the OECD, UNESCO, the World Bank, and for governments, agencies and foundations in countries from Ireland to India, and from Jordan to the US.

Howard Blumenthal created and produced the PBS television series, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? He is currently a Senior Scholar at The University of Pennsylvania, studying learning and the lives of 21st-century children and teenagers.

Education for Hope and Healing - a #learningrevolution Mini-Conference on June 4th

"Last school year was among the most heartbreaking and frightening nine months in Stark County school history. School leaders buried 25 students or recent graduates, including roughly a dozen of them who died by suicide. One student plotted to kill his fellow classmates before deciding to turn the gun on himself. Threats of violence bombarded nearly every local school district, and more than 1,500 Stark County children were taken to nearby hospitals for mental health concerns. School leaders and staff didn’t know what to do." (Source)

---

"I believe that we are messengers of hope. So, while the world is telling us to sit down and wait, and we don't know what's going to happen, we're teachers, we're leaders, and we're going to take the lead as messengers of hope, and ask our kids to step up and lead and spread the message of mattering throughout the globe when the world needs it most.

"My mission has always been to bring the world hope by helping every individual embrace their value and potential contribution. It’s been the foundation of all my work, finding and unleashing the inner genius of countless kids, teachers, parents, employees, and communities. 

"We were born to make an impact, and when we get back to the root of who we are and embrace what we are truly capable of; there are no limits to what can be done. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple reminder--two simple words: 'You matter.' Those two words can change a mood, a mind, a life, and the world."  

-Angela Maiers

 

We invite you to join us for a very special live broadcast on June 4th, from 12:00 - 3:00 pm US-EDT, that will focus on EDUCATION FOR HOPE AND HEALING. Hosted by Angela Maiers, and joined by student, teacher, and community teams from Ohio and Texas, this three-hour mini-conference will describe the inspiring journeys of two communities to build cultures of "mattering." Follow the student-led Twitter chat #youmatteredu.

See you "online!"

SCHEDULE: (Times are US Eastern Daylight Time)

• 12:00 - 1:00 pm: Angela Maiers Welcome | Stark County's Story and AultCare
  "Our doors may be closed, but our mission is at the forefront. Educators are our first responders of the soul. Our mission is to change lives and change the world, and that's what we do, period. The most universal and powerful way we have to do this is through this simple proclamation for one another: you matter. This is not only a reminder of how important our community is, but of how important we are to each other. In Stark County one of the things they committed to was a consistent message of mattering with intensity across the city. So they put 'you matter' on billboards all over the city and on welcome screens when you walk into the hospital, and all the schools have a manifesto. In the last year they haven't had any suicides--it's all the concerted efforts and the importance of the message. The head of the hospital and the head of the campaign will tell their story. You shouldn't wait until it becomes pandemic and our communities are already at risk."
  
  
  
  
  
• 1:00 - 2:00 pm: "Students Take the Lead in McAllen School District and City Story: Hope and Healing Texas Style"
  "First, McAllen is a border city already struggling with a large percentage of their students being undocumented and feeling like they didn't matter. Then there was a murder-suicide, followed by a rash of suicides. A group of students had an idea and reached out to me on Twitter, so this all started with a tweet. They said: 'We have a problem in our community. In our world right now people don't feel like they matter. And we want to do this thing.' And so a group of fifteen talked to me over Zoom. And days later, not weeks or months or years later, they had created a gigantic campaign to spread the message of mattering not just through their school, but to reach every school in the district--which they accomplished; to reach every home in the district--which they accomplished; and to do it both at school and outside of school--which they accomplished! And then they made sure that the leaders of their world, which were their school leaders, their church leaders, their community leaders, their city leaders (the mayor!), and their parents, did not underestimate the power and urgency of this message.  In Texas, they do things big, so they put messages of mattering on the stadium jumbotron at halftime at all the football games. Two years later the mayor declared McAllen to be the first city that chose to matter."
  
  

• 2:00 - 3:00 pm: Research | Our Community's Call to Action - #youmatteredu | CUE.org | Angela Closing Remarks.
  "Our education world is often focused on logic and intelligence. Our intellect is significant to us, but we have always known there was more to our lives like, and just like we describe EQ (Emotional Intelligence), Dr. Adam Saenz and a team from Texas A&M will describe maximizing our MQ (Mattering Quotient). We'll close by issuing a community call with CUElorg to action to spread the message of #youmatteredu. This is a chance for us to step up to and into our genius by sharing messages of hope with our students and the world. "

Today - "Learning Through National Parks" + This Week's Presentations at the Learning Revolution Online Daily Education Conference #learningrevolution

Join us today at 3:00 pm US-EDT for a special webinar on "Youth Learning Through National Parks" with: Dr. Jessica Thompson, Professor, Northern Michigan University; Dr. Ana Houseal, Associate Professor and Science Outreach Educator, University of Wyoming; Milton Chen, Senior Fellow, Edutopia.org (moderator); Tom Medema, Acting Associate Director, Interpretation, Education, & Volunteers, National Park Service; and Jon Jarvis, former Director, National Park Service.

This is the first in a series of webinars at LearningRevolution.com presenting case studies and research findings from a new book, America’s Largest Classroom: What We Learn from Our National Parks (U. California Press, 2020). 

“Educating the whole child” should include experiential learning in local communities, states, and regions. National Park sites represent our nation’s most significant landscapes, ecosystems, and historical/cultural sites. From the Grand Tetons, the Great Smokies, and Cuyahoga Valley to Monticello, Civil War battlefields, and Japanese internment camps, students are learning first-hand, in motivating and authentic ways, about climate change, U. S. history, biodiversity, and cultural diversity. National Parks and their partners have published a wide variety of online resources to inspire and support in-person visits. Virtual field trips to the Grand Canyon, Alaska’s Katmai National Park, and more than 40 parks have become even more popular during this Covid crisis. These immersive, place-based experiences also lead students to reconsider their own goals and abilities, “learning from the outside in.”

This is a free event hosted by LearningRevolution.com. Please join the community to access this or any of the other sessions or recordings of our daily online education conference. The rest of this week's sessions are below. To see all sessions submitted so far, and to correspond with presenters, click here. Recordings of past sessions are listed on the Recordings page.
