CALM Conversations about Teaching & Learning
CALM Conversations about Learning with d. Zenani Mzube is back with a twist!
Now, we'll be going wider and deeper with conversations about teaching, as well as learning, because what is pesto without the pasta?
I believe that educating and relating are synonymous and that student, teacher, parent, and community relationships are critical to a thriving teaching and learning environment. This has never been more apparent.
This podcast aims to bring these relationships into a common space, where we re-envision education one clumsy, compassionate and CALM convo at a time.
So, if you’re a parent or educator or community contributor, who also happens to be a visionary--- if you believe in community more than you believe in institutions--- then this is your education podcast.
In CCaTL, we'll examine what it means to learn, what it means to teach and how parents and community contributors (e.g., social workers, therapists, teacher program instructors) support these endeavors.
We'll do this with the folks who matter most, for the folks who matter most---and that just might be you, so review, follow and join us for conversations about education, re-envisioned.
