Join us in the 11th episode of the Unrulr Podcast as we engage in a conversation with Kwaku Aning, Director of the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurial Thinking at the San Diego Jewish Academy, and Mike Yates, Senior Product Manager at the Reinvention Lab at Teach for America.
Our guests share a common love for D'Angelo's "Voodoo" and the magical collective known as the Soulquarians, which leads us to explore the parallels between these creative powerhouses and innovative educational strategies.
In this episode, we dive into the conditions that allow for greatness, such as surrounding oneself with talented individuals, fostering creativity, and drawing inspiration from a variety of sources. Much like how the Soulquarians sparked an era of musical brilliance, we ask: How can we create such collectives in schools and cultivate the right conditions for educators and students to truly excel?
The conversation touches on sports, notably basketball, and music as metaphors for teaching and learning. We further delve into the value of exceptional coaching and teaching in both these realms. Don't miss this enlightening episode as we uncover the secret sauce for creating magical learning experiences.
