The art, science, and craft of teaching
Episode Summary: Did you ever have a teacher who changed your life? Dr. Jane Bluestein talks with author, speaker, and songwriter Glenn Capelli about how teachers can have a powerful impact on a child’s life—for good or bad. They discuss the importance of new and different experiences, including encounters with “the unfamiliar,” getting out of our comfort zone from time to time, in order to build cognitive fitness, growing new brain cells and keeping our work fresh and inspiring.
They talk about the kinds of teachers—and schools—where children “are queueing up to learn” and standing at the windows to learn at schools too crowded to take everyone who wants to be there. Capelli offers a wide range of experiences and tips not only to keep your passion as an individual and educator, but also to create the kinds of schools where kids are engaged, enthusiastic, and successful.
