  • “We’re talking about who’s behind the scenes in the realm of education…When you ask a parent ‘Who is teaching your child? Who is leading your child?’ we used to think Mrs. Jones in room 203, but that’s no longer the case…In order to understand who’s truly teaching your child, you have to understand who all the players are….”

    In this episode, Suzanne interviews Melissa Jackson and Apryl Dukes-McDaniel, co-founders of Freedom in Education. They dig into the Whole Child education model—what it is, what it’s not…and who’s behind the redesign.

    Parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators–don’t miss this! Tune in to hear the implications and dangers of the Whole Child framework and the more positive alternatives to this approach.

  • It’s no secret screens are invading our children’s environments–including their classrooms! Yet, you might be surprised to know only a sliver of the 6-9 hours a day they spend on their screens is actually spent on school work.

    Veteran teachers and co-authors of Screen Schooled, Matt Miles and Joe Clement, join Suzanne to discuss the negative impact screens are having on students’ focus, critical thinking, problem-solving, and relationships.

    “When you give that phone or tablet to a child, you’ve given them a burden. They might not see it that way…but what you’ve done is erected a barrier between other humans, academic content, and their brains,” said Joe.

    Tune in to get informed on the real impact of technology in our schools and learn how you can make a difference in your child’s brain development and learning.
