We all know students need "21st century skills"—but what does that actually look like on a Tuesday morning in your classroom? In this conversation, Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang and Dr. Kelsey Hammond go beyond buzzwords to explore why discussion isn't as intuitive as we think, how our classrooms haven't kept pace with how the world actually works, and most importantly, what we can do about it. While the gap between what students are learning and what they need is widening, you don't need 3D printers or fancy AI tools to close it—just clarity on what 21st century skills really are and how to weave them into the curriculum you already have. Let's figure it out together.

Brain-Based Teaching: Learning from the Field of Neuroscience
In this episode, we discuss how the study of the brain can help us better support our students to learn. We are joined by Brooklin Williams, Katherine Elam, and Malik Bolden who share the importance of empathy and understanding in teaching and learning, the need to recognize and support students' emotional responses, rather than just managing their behaviors, and the crucial role teachers play in shaping students' ability to self-regulate.
