We’re getting ready to launch Season Four of the Seed Field Podcast and we’re putting together two mini-episodes that revisit interviews from Season Three and pull out the themes that consistently run through them. If there's hope in anything, there is hope in children as educators. As our school systems focus on producing certain test scores, checking boxes, and sometimes treating students as products rather than people, we have education experts like the three guests from this mini series on “literacy” who challenge teachers to take an individualized approach, to meet students where they are, and encourage their curiosity. In this episode we share clips from interviews with Heather Hebard, Laura Thomas, and Gopal Krishnamurthy to revisit their suggestions on redefining what we think of as literacy, supporting social-emotional learning, and encouraging scientific exploration.The episodes mentioned in this recap are: Expanding Our Definition of Literacy is Necessary for Justice with Heather HebardTo Grow Emotional Literacy, a Classroom Must Become a Community with Laura ThomasDeveloping Math and Science Literacy Means Moving Beyond the “Right” Answer with Gopal KrishnamurthyThis episode was recorded August 18, 2022 via Riverside.fm and released August 30, 2022. The Seed Field Podcast is produced by Antioch University.The Seed Field Podcast’s host is Jasper Nighthawk, and its editor is Lauren Instenes.
