It’s time to reframe the narrative of success that we communicate to our young people and parents. Not that the old narrative of get good grades, get into a good college, get good grades, get a fine paying job, stay there for life won’t still work for some, but we are living in a different […]
Will VR assist us in enrolling others in the learner-centered paradigm?
If you are at all curious about the future, one of the best futurist blogs to subscribe to is Peter Diamandis’ Tech Blog. While he tends to approach his enthusiasm for future technology through the lens of capitalism, I do find his writing often piquing my curiosity. Recently, he published a blog titled, VR’s Leap […]
Relationships: The Foundation of Learner-Centered Environments
It’s “back to school” time here in the northern hemisphere. For us, teachers returned to classrooms last week and students arrive this coming week. The past week was an energizing one! Reconnecting with those I haven’t seen in weeks, learning together once again, sharing plans for the best school year yet, and finding the feeling […]
The most critical form of learning: Learning how to learn
You’ve probably heard something to the effect that “learning how to learn” is a critical skill everyone needs as we move deeper into this century of exponential change. If learners, young and old, know themselves and how to learn, they will be able to innovate, overcome challenges, and move themselves and society toward a future […]
Five questions for learner-centered education
It’s been a few weeks of immersion in thinking and conversation around learner-centered education and the corresponding paradigm shift having recently attended Pioneer Lab Training and Big Picture Learning’s Big Bang Conference.

On detecting bullshit…
These words from a Farnum Street interview with Robert Greene resonated with me. FS: One of the things you said was, talking to people who think that they know something, I mean, one of the problems that I see that traverses personal, professional lives is separating the people who know what they’re talking about from […]
Why create a podcast? Building a knowledge base for transformation…
My colleague, Lynn Fuini-Hetten, and I have been producing podcasts for four years – at TLTalkRadio.org and ShiftYourParadigm.org. I recently became curious how many episodes we had recorded, and the answer caused me to reflect on why we’ve been doing this and what were some of the most impactful episodes for me personally. After over […]
Learners at the Center – #FETC
I had the opportunity to be a Featured Presenter at FETC, the Future of Education Technology Conference in FLA. I prepared a series of five presentations and two panels. The “learner” was a thread that carried throughout all of the presentations and conversations. I had a great time sharing Salisbury’s story and connecting with other […]
Sustaining Change
I attended a session at Educon 2018 titled Sustaining Change in Schools and Systems. The session was facilitated by Zac Chase and Diana Laufenberg, both previously teachers at Science Leadership Academy. Besides the content of the session, the most powerful aspect for me was that these were practitioners – practitioners who have reflected on years of […]
Excerpts from #FETC 2018 Roundtable Discussion
The following originally appeared on EdCirucuit as part of a roundtable discussion series including the voices of various FETC presenters – Part 2 and Part 3.
