  • Encore: Celebrating All Kinds of Minds

    Encore: Celebrating All Kinds of Minds
    Mar 2 2023
    Today’s program is not specifically about special education or Autism, it’s about creating schools that celebrate and value different kinds of minds. The great educator Howard Gardner, the author of Multiple Intelligences, once said that he, “Rues the day someone invented the bell curve,” which suggests that some people are smart, others at not smart, and that most people are in the big middle. Absurd. There are lots of ways to be smart. There are all kinds of minds. We will be joined by two extradentary educators a generation apart in experience but both forward-thinking educators who embrace the notion that all young people can thrive, and have a right to thrive, if they are nurtured, are surrounded by love and support and are accepted and respected for who they are- for their assets, not their so-called deficits.

    Encore: Answering the Call to Serve
    Feb 23 2023
    Dedicating one’s life to serving others is both honorable and challenging. This is particularly true in a world where communitarian values are often at odds with those that define success as what is best for the individual. Today’s program will spotlight the journey of two individuals who have chosen to serve. How did their experiences in school inspire them? What motivates them to continue to serve? Today’s episode features two extraordinary individuals, one running to retain his seat of the Union County Board of Education and another running for a seat on the Board of Education in Mecklenburg County, both in North Carolina. Our focus today is not to provide an opportunity for each to campaign, explain their platform, or make a case for election. Additionally, their participation on Let’s Reinvent School is in no way an endorsement of their candidacy. Rather, we will focus on their own experiences in school and what, in their own lives, continues to inspire them to serve.

    In this episode of Let’s Reinvent School we turn to internationally recognized educator, author, and education policy scholar, Professor James Guthrie. We are joined in our third segment by Dr. Robert Goodman, the Executive Director of the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning. Together we will identify the structural and systemic challenges that are contributing to our schools not being able to meet the diverse needs of diverse students. Join us for a fascinating and provocative conversation as we ask the question, “What would it take to make schools more effective, more efficient, and more equitable? “
