"I am a big fan of the musings of these educators. I enjoy the casual tone and I love how they are truly questioning our education system. Their latest episodes are fantastic. I especially like the idea of living by the rhythm of seasons. As an Indigenous educator this totally aligns with my belief that we need to align our drive and never ending race...it’s not a race, it’s a journey ...thank you."

How to think like an empowered life-giving educator, leader, and community member.
Strategies from a birds-eye view
How to view yourself and take action as an educator-creator.
after working with hundreds of teachers and leaders personally, closely observing thousands of lessons across all grade bands and subject areas, the patterns make it obvious that the struggle is not just because students are "disengaged" or "poor"... it's because of dehumanization by all of us.
because no human in this system (or any system) is a cog.
learning is something that we've enjoyed doing since literally forever. The ed system can be a part of remembering how to do that.
I'm grateful for the mundane tasks in your day that create the space for me to be in your ears!
I'm a former teacher with several degrees in education, NBCT standing, and experience personally coaching hundreds of teachers and leaders and training thousands in approximately 50 districts throughout the USA.
Perhaps just as importantly: I'm a regenerative systems organizer in our local community, working with all parts of a textile supply chain to create farm-to-fashion garments. This combined with history as a health coach, gardener, and artist has lead me to a deeper understanding of systems thinking, a questioning of what we think we know, and a curious approach to education.

(you can nominate yourself, too!) We are always looking for podcast guests with a fresh perspective to seeing ed as a holistic system. If you know someone who is involved with living systems design, ecological repair, or other ways of thinking about pedagogy, content, and the whole structure that are fresh, we'd love to connect with them (or you!).

We'd love to encourage more individuals in education to take risks and challenge the status quo. Your honest reviews help us do just that! Thank you so much!
