3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #163, 22nd August 2023

Teaching for Discovery and learning for reasoning. How are we as educators and parents planning for doing that with our students and children? What are some of the competencies that our student leaders, teacher leaders, and school leaders should need to hone in themselves to be better at helping the current generation to succeed in the increasingly complex world they are stepping into. What attitudes will make them problem solvers, socially responsible, and compassionate? Here are some thoughts, do you agree? would you like to add to these?

Two Thoughts of the Week:

“Good feedback is THE most powerful tool you can use to help teachers improve. And yet, you can never have the impact you want to have with teachers if you are accidentally killing their motivation and ability to act on your feedback.”
Robyn Jackson

“The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.”
John Buchan

One Video of the Week:

What must leaders in education instill in those they mentor? As we step into an increasingly complex future, we need new models of teaching and discovery. Evan Mazunik talks about (and demonstrates) some of the most vital skills students need to survive and thrive in the 21st century.

Evan Mazunik creates contemporary music as a composer, pianist, director, and educator in Denver, CO. Despite starting piano lessons as a near-sighted 4-year-old with stage fright, Evan has discovered the joy of music through improvisation.

He conducts ensembles to play off the page using sign language for real-time composition. As a performer, he has played at creative music venues in NYC and Denver such as Dazzle, Roulette, and The Stone. As a composer, his commissions have included works for jazz bands, choirs, and various solo instruments and interdisciplinary works for theater, dance, and film.

As an educator, he has led master classes and workshops at the New School, MSU Denver, the University of Indiana, the Royal Academy of Music in London, and many others, both as a soloist and in collaboration with other teaching artists. Evan received a bachelor’s degree in piano performance and a Masters in jazz studies from the University of Iowa.

Dear reader,
I have been a research scientist, a journalist, and an educator for over 3 decades. I read and, I write.  With this weekly newsletter, I share what I read, learn, and, experience. At the same time, I engage with students, parents, and teams of teachers across K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and ed-tech organizations.
