• 16 Capacities to Change the World

  After more than a decade of teaching people around the world how to do it, I’ve decided to share this list of key skills, abilities, knowledge, and dispositions. They’re based off my life as I’ve worked for social justice, and they are what I’ve seen consistently in my mentors, heros, and students. These capacities make the difference between people who talk about changing the world and people who actually change the world.

• Who Are Educators?

  Who are educators? It seems like a simple enough question, and looking at the Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives a simple enough answer: Educator (n) 1: one skilled in teaching; teacher. 2a: a student of the theory and practice of education; educationist.

• Zoom Tips from an Engagement Pro

  Over the course of the last year, I have facilitated more than 50 online learning sessions for Youth and Educators Succeeding and our programs including Freechild Institute, SoundOut, and GenYES. More than 5,000 students and adults have participated and I’ve become really excited about facilitating learning online.
