In this episode of Learning Unboxed, we're joined by Nick Salmon, Mar Cano Mesa, and Erin O’Reilly, co-authors of TeamEd, a transformative guide to collaboration in education. Together, they share the story behind their international partnership and their deeply rooted belief that teaming—at every level of the education ecosystem—is essential to building a more learner-centered, sustainable, and joyful system.We dig into what makes a true team (not just a group), how ecosystem thinking influences team development, and how teacher preparation programs can intentionally plant the seeds of collaboration. Erin shares how she integrates team-based principles into her work training future educators, while Mar explores how visiting schools like Green School Bali and High Tech High shaped her approach. Nick reminds us that education needs diverse voices—especially non-traditional ones—and that the power of team teaching can unlock possibilities we never imagined.Tune in to hear how this trio models the very work they advocate for—blending ideas, supporting one another’s growth, and pushing education toward a more equitable, connected, and empowered future.To learn more, visit: pastfoundation.orgWe unbox:Why true collaboration means more than just working in groupsThe role of ecosystems in transforming educationPractical strategies for building trust and psychological safety in teamsHow teacher prep programs can use teaming to support retentionThe power of including non-traditional voices in educationUsing teaming as a model for both staff and studentsResources:Read TeamEdGreen School Bali – A model of holistic, sustainability-focused educationHigh Tech HighConnect with Nick on LinkedInConnect with Mar Cano on LinkedInConnect with Erin on LinkedInProduced by NOVA
