Today, I am discussing an element of project-based learning that is often overlooked - how to craft a compelling driving question.⁠
⁠
I break down the differences between essential and driving questions, I give examples of each, and a checklist or the standard of what is needed. When you are creating a driving question, I recommend a minimum of 5 iterations to encompass the criteria for that driving question.⁠
⁠
The criteria for a compelling driving question:⁠
⁠
- It’s engaging to students⁠
- Allows for open ended responses⁠
- Opens a range of responses⁠
- Rooted in a specific context-can’t be too broad⁠
- Clear language & phrasing for the students⁠
- Centers justice⁠
- Aligned to learning goals⁠
⁠
I hope you will learn some interesting things from this discussion.

It’s important to allow students practice skills repeatedly throughout the school year and from grade to grade; Having the same rubric for each project, unit, classroom and grade, creates an understanding to the student that this is how projects will be assessed without having to re-instruct how they will be graded each time.⁠

On episode 76 of the podcast, I’m talking with Jaz Ampaw-Farr about becoming united in your activism for your school community. When you work together, you can come up with even more ideas and ways to make an impact in your school. ⁠
⁠
One of Jaz’s big dreams is to see a human first approach to the learning. What can we do to invite more empathy into this space? It’s about understanding that all are coming from completely different places in their personal lives, different energy levels, different struggles and privileges. And so we can’t assume that everyone will be able to pass their class by being taught in one standard fashion.⁠
⁠
Jaz also talks about how educators will hold themselves back from being their full selves and from making mistakes. But in order to grow, we need to be willing to take risks. We have to put ourselves on the line to get to a better place.⁠

On the show this week, I am talking with career and leadership coach Jeff Ikler. Jeff has worked for nearly 50 years to help students, teachers, and administrators acquire knowledge and find meaning in their work.
 
Students need more agency and to be cared about by adults at school. Educators are at their best when they recognize that the things students go through and manage in their lives have a direct effect on their desire and ability to put academic work in. 

If teachers want to shift their mindsets and start making those changes, there’s no reason it can’t be attempted at a school or district level. Not to mention, we discuss how students don’t need to be steered towards college as the only goal. What would happen if we took their needs and desires into account when it comes to them figuring out their future?

In this week's episode, we are learning from Sean Priest about how to bring social justice and equity directly into our schools. ⁠
⁠
There are multiple things that impede students' learning and experience at school. This could be social influences, high stress, outside responsibilities and more. The goal for school leaders is to find out how they can get involved in dismantling those obstacles. This could be in the form of changing the way you do grading for example. ⁠
⁠
Remember that equity should be educating oneself first about the different issues learners face and then giving them power to make changes that will serve their needs.⁠

Today, I am joined by Colin Hogan, Head of School at Learning Community Charter School. He began his career in education in 1999 teaching at the Academy of Communications and Technology and at the Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in Chicago.  Colin has won numerous awards for teaching and was recognized as New Jersey History Teacher of the Year in 2013.⁠
⁠
Colin reveals in our conversation that we don’t need to follow a specific way of doing in order to helping our students, we can and should improvise with our own ideas. Additionally, he talks about how his school implemented a student-to-student mentorship opportunity and a way for all teachers to get together.⁠

In this podcast episode, I am talking with Jeanne Wolz about the myths and assumptions people hear about being a brand new teacher. ⁠
⁠
Jeanne wants to add some fresh perspective into the “scariness” that could help educators re-frame that mentality. I hope that you’ll walk away with a new approach to this big adventure of school-based work.

We are joined this week by Skyler, Rhys, Amelia, and Sam from Springhouse. Springhouse is more than a school. It’s ecocentric, soulcentric, grounded, placed-rooted, cooperation-based, holistic, and whole-hearted. These students gather to express their thoughts on this place of learning and growth.⁠
⁠
One thing I loved hearing from them is that there are a lot of kinds of intelligences that go beyond standard academic ones. There is a wonderful diversity to the way we all approach learning.⁠
