In this special Best of Season 1 episode, we pull together standout moments from all five guests who offer powerful insights on teaching, practical strategies, and the evolving landscape of education.
You'll catch clips from:
Jo Ann Buffalo on the essential role of Indigenous cultural workers, why every child matters, and how educators can build meaningful relationships with Indigenous leaders to best support students and honour the land we teach on.
Dr. Treena Orchard on moving beyond “DEI as an add-on”. She speaks on how we can access what equity work can look like within our own faculty, our individual classrooms, and our everyday practices.
Chantale Hutchinson on uncovering unconscious biases in teaching through the lens of Stephen Brookfield’s work on critical reflection. She brings thoughtful insight on how asking ourselves the right questions can change one's approach to teaching, particularly in the online classroom.
Steve Newton on the transformative power of AI, VR, and gamification in adult learning. Steve highlights how engagement, play, and interactive learning can radically improve knowledge retention.
Sarita Parmar on authenticity in the classroom, why every student and person has something to teach you, and how genuine human connection builds trust and strengthens learning.
This episode is an incredible overview of Season 1! We invite you to check out each one of these guests full episodes as the 'best of' clip only captures a timbit of their knowledge and insight.
