Description

Is Education failing our kids?  Is the system broken?  There is an increased number of kids dealing with mental health challenges, a decrease in standardized test scores and well as a noted decline in student’s ability to problem solve and critically think.

If you want to understand this massive Education Crisis, and how SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) is the buzzword of the educational times as we understand that kids are in crisis… you are going to want to tune into this two part series!

My guest on this series is my brother, educator, content creator, innovator Ed Wren.  Ed has taught in public as well as private schools for almost 20 years and is now teaching teachers and helping to bring AP Environmental Science content and connection to underserved schools.  He is passionate about marine science, environmental science, but most importantly, to sparking both teachers and students to connect with what they are passionate about and interested in.

We had so much to talk about, as we are both passionate about kids, connection and education.

In this episode we dive into:

1. The importance of seeing kids for who they are as individuals and learners.
2. The importance of kids feeling seen and heard by adults in their world.
3. The importance of sparking connection to content and learning.
4. Examples of how and where the Education System has set kids up to fail and complicated their lives and learning.

If you would like to connect with Ed Wren as a parent, student or educator, email him at enviroed2020@gmail.com.  He can do teacher training, content creation and is an educational consultant.
