PEBC’s Forward Initiative, Forward – From Polarization to Progress strives to improve the education environment by equipping educators and leaders with skills in positive conflict resolution, including curiosity, respect, and bridge-building. It seeks to counteract polarization and drive positive change in education and decision-making. “Because we are all different, disagreement is natural, and exposure to and understanding of multiple, diverse perspectives often leads to better problem solving, Dr. Anthes said. “We need people, organizations, and partners who are focused on getting our education politics and collective decision-making skills back on track.”
The “Phenomenal Teaching Podcast” is brought to you by Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC) and is intended to elevate the strands of the PEBC Teaching Framework illustrated in Wendy Ward Hoffer’s book, Phenomenal Teaching. Those strands include community, planning, workshop, thinking strategies, discourse, and assessment. In addition we dive into the PEBC Leadership Framework and PEBC’s Equity at School booklet. Thank you for joining us this season as we strive to share the stories of educators and leaders who are dedicated to developing classrooms and schools where agency, equity and understanding can flourish.
