The First You Talk podcast is about taking complex problems that affect Central Floridians and guiding listeners to understand the issue in a digestible way and come out of each episode being better informed, experiencing an increase in empathy toward others, and the ability to discuss these difficult problems in a thoughtful way.
Troubleshooting issues within our educational system feels overwhelming. A spotlight is often on crisis points, such as kindergarten readiness, third grade reading scores, and graduation rates; but, what if we zoomed out and flew over the entire system at 30,000 feet? What if we thought about the big picture, and determined what exactly we even want out of the system? This episode will help shift our mindset to thinking about systems-level approaches to improving education in our community.
This episode covers:
What is a theory of change?
How do our students feel about their educational experience?
How does a community school work?
What is the Orange County Public School’s new cell phone rule and what are its impacts?
What is place-based philanthropy?
What do we want out of our educational system?
