The Traveling Teacher Christopher Peck

The Traveling Teach is partnering with Maestros Vibe to bring you our first unbook club! I am sharing this podcast produced by the incredible group of teachers from Maestros Vibe podcast, Kevin Argueta, Karina Hernandez, and Juan Espinal. Today's podcast is a conversation around different books and texts we have recently read. From authors like Angela Davis, Cleo Wade, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Harper Nicholas, and Bettina Love, we discuss books and texts that have helped us grow and reflect during these moments of social change. Starting on July 4th, we will begin our first book club that you can join by going to: http://www.maestrosvibe.com/book-club/ 

Do you enjoy listening to two educators speaking on what they love? Then, you will love this podcast with our very first science teacher, Lo. He works at the famous Green School and he is a wealth of knowledge from quoting Yasiin Bey "New World Water" to diving deep into mushrooms and so much more. This episode is especially helpful for anyone interested in the experience of teaching abroad. Enjoy!

Jump into Alfred Muraka's incredible Ted Talk-style breakdown to help us understand the nature, the challenges, and the state of SA ed system through the socio/economic and socio/political landscape and how this is coloring and shaping how the education system is growing. Then, enjoy a conversation with an educational leader, Gwaza Zulu, and listen to our conversation about empowering students and teachers. 

Today we are in Stockholm, talking with the leaders at Star for Life, a non-profit educational organization. We have Secretary-General Anki Elken and Jana Söderberg, who will present most of the information. However, we have some important additions of Ulrika Hjelm and Merry Stromberg. This is by far the longest podcast, but another phenomenal one focused on mental health.  Let's develop a great mental awareness on how to input these practices in our schools. Time to practice active listening!

Finish off this five-part series with Professor Reijo Miettinen and his philosophical and research-backed understanding of the Finnish education system. He has a marvelous mind and a drive to constantly make our world a better place. No better place to start than in education. Join the class!

Learn about the national curriculum in Finland from Sonama, a leader in education materials. Michael will lead us to understand how they approach the curriculum in an ever digitalized age.  Have a listen and if you need to practice your Finnish, I have just the book for you!
