Episode 1: An Introduction to Dancing in the Mind Fields of Public Education
Manage episode 408157447 series 3564116
This podcast is the first episode of the first year of our series of podcasts. In it, Phil Stover provides an introduction to the concept of Dancing in the Mind Fields of Public Education in the United States. Phil provides an overview of his background working in more than 100 districts and institutions of higher learning.
This initial podcast presents the core thesis behind all of Phil's podcasts; that despite a district's best efforts, teaching and learning are subject to a whole host of external and internal factors that either enhance or inhibit classroom outcomes. Those forces extend way beyond the classroom to the district itself as a part of the community, state, and nation. A successful educator learns to dance around the minefields of public education while at the same time enjoying the dance of nurturing student's minds. That summarizes Dancing in the Mind Fields, the theme of this podcast series. Enjoy!
