Brought to you by Pegasus Springs Education Collective
The Learning Spring podcast provides you access to conversations with educators and leaders in their field, presents opportunities to explore the nuances of important topics, and invites you to integrate new learning into your community.
As educators, we know how important it is to nurture a collaborative culture that is centered on continuous learning not only for students, but also for staff and everyone in our communities.
Of course, regardless of how valuable or insightful the information, we realize that transformation doesn’t happen by listening to a podcast, reading a book, or attending a professional development session. It happens when committed groups deepen their engagement with content, practice, and community over an extended period of time.
Topics, texts, and guests for The Learning Spring are selected to prompt reflection, conversation, and further exploration. Our hope is that the podcast series is a spring for ongoing learning and engagement. The episodes and accompanying readings can be used for a faculty or team discussion, an educator pod squad, or a community of practice.
Below are some ways to deepen your engagement with The Learning Spring . . .
LISTEN
Listen to discussions with thought leaders, educators, and administrators who are committed to reimagining education. Themes in Season One include educational leadership, educational equity, trauma-informed practice, theories of change, unconscious bias, and giving effective feedback.
LEARN
We’ve chosen books and articles by our podcast guests that challenge, inspire, and prompt reflection. We invite you to choose readings that meets your team’s needs. We also offer group discussion questions to help your team deepen engagement and perhaps to even examine existing norms through a new lens.
LEAD
Meet with your team to integrate new learning into your own context and to explore how ideas might be relevant to your own community or to your current improvement goals. The work is more powerful and transformative when we plan to strategically integrate new ideas into our culture, systems, and practices.
