Among Us: Invisible Experiences Impacting Youth

Joe Bishop and his team continue to shine light directly on the historical issues that have infected our educational system for far too long. As a former High School Department Chair and a Teacher Innovation Coach, I have seen the good and the bad. Variety is the spice of life and the key to reaching the youth. I spent many years in an Urban District and the issues are compounded exponentially. I truly believe all student teachers should experience this educational classroom environment. Only the strong, skilled, caring and dedicated will flourish. Change Starts one student at a time. Bravo to Joe and his team for sharing great insight into how’s and why’s of progressive changes.

I so appreciate the work Joe Bishop and his team have done to highlight the issues and potential solutions to problems that have plagued education for years. As a former teacher of young children and now a teacher of the teachers of young children I can tell you this is where the gap begins. Students at every level must have voice and choice but at a 3-5 year old level it is essential. Structured interrupted play for 60 each classroom day is key to equalizing our classroom yet it very hard to find in a TK-12 program. Worksheets at this level begin the divide.

I am so grateful for these conversations. The ecosystem of kids and education and everything it touches is so vast. This should be required reading for every PTA, school board, and state legislature!

This podcast is informative, enlightening, and thought provoking. Joe does a fantastic job unraveling complex topics to the public with the help of expert guests.
