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.
CALM Conversations about Teaching & Learning
Pedaling, Wobbling, Falling Down and Teachable Moments
- Episode 1 pays homage to the hustle of the teachable moment.
- While I don't like it when people are sneaky, I do appreciate the teachable moment that sneaks up on you when you're doing something you thought you couldn't do, only to show you that you are indeed already DOING THE THING.
- Can you remember the last time you had this kind of teachable moment? The kind that seizes the opportunity of your struggle and wells up from within to show you who you are and what you're made of?
- The CALM Pillars- the 4 pillars that defined my best practices in the classroom and now drive this podcast, evolved from a teachable moment insight that I would return to again and again: the importance of trusting myself and trusting the process, as I struggled to learn new things.
- This insight would first arrive when I learned to ride a bike and again in my early years as an educator.
- In this episode, I begin unfolding the CALM Pillars because I believe that we Visionaries need structures to support our work and expand our VISIONS for our children's education.
- Structures that will consistently remind us to TRUST ourselves and the process.
