2 APR 2019 · I (along with a team of educators) am involved in innovative education! It's an outdoor learning opportunity for fifth-grade students. We would love to get our adventure in education noticed throughout the state. I would suggest interviewing us as a group. We are partnered with Fish and Wildlife and our outdoor opportunities are at Sullys Hill National Wildlife Refuge. Thursday we have conferences in the afternoon.

26 MAR 2019 · Dr. Andi Dulski-Bucholz is the Dean and Chair of the Division of Education at Mayville State University. In this episode, Dr. Dulski-Bucholz is joined by Dr. Kelli Odden, Professor of Early Childhood Education at Mayville State. They’re teaming up to talk about how they’re training our next generation of teachers, more commonly referred to as pre-service teaching training. We discuss challenges and opportunities in preparing teachers, whether it’s talking about how teachers factor into a world of online learning, a shift from teaching content to teaching skills, and what’s being done to prepare teachers for working with the many social and emotional issues impacting our children.

19 MAR 2019 · In this episode, I talk to Nikki Doll and two of her students—Teegan Henke and Shelby Meckle—about service learning.
You’ll hear about how service learning impacts the community and students—and how it sets a foundation for building 21st Century skills. The students find needs in the community—or world—and look to fill the voids through projects, teamwork and collaboration.

5 MAR 2019 · Beatrice Hill is in her fifth year at West Fargo high school teaching English language arts. During her first year, she was approached by students who wanted to begin a literary magazine. Hill allows the students to take the lead on every aspect of the magazine, from providing content and page design to seeking out fundraising sources and including advertising. Hill says she serves as an advisor and says when the students run into problems they develop the skills to problem solve.
Hill says she comes from a long line of teachers and that education has been really valued within my family. She says she not only comes from a line of exceptional teachers, but she’s also had the privilege of being taught by exceptional teachers. She believes that every teacher she’s had along the way has inspired her in some capacity and has influenced her to help her get where she is today.

26 FEB 2019 · In this episode, I talk to Rolla agriculture instructor William Fritz. Fritz uses inquiry based learning to teach 12 different semester classes throughout the school year. The classes range from agriculture business to livestock production, and everything in between. He wants the students to experience agriculture. He says a lot of students still believe agriculture education is just for farm kids. Fritz teaches agriculture processing, the sales side of agriculture, natural resources, veterinarian science, and horticulture with focus on Floriculture. He also requires all of my students to have an agri-science project and supervised agriculture experience project.
In 2018, he was fortunate to become an National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador. The program only takes 20 agriculture teachers each year into the program. He spent five intense days learning how to incorporate inquiry base learning into the classrooms/labs/shops. One of his responsibilities as an ambassador is teaching others about inquiry base learning through workshops.

5 FEB 2019 · This weeks podcast is with Lynnae Liese—the Personalized Learning Coordinator at New Rockford-Sheyenne.
The school recently started a Personalized Learning Academy—empowering students and giving them voice and choice in their learning. Lies says its an opt-in program where students choose three or four courses they want to study. An instructor is there one period of the day acting as a coach—allowing the students to take on their own learning choosing what they want to learn and when they want to learn. Lies says collaboration is a huge part of the learning environment.
Liese will talk about how and why the program began and offer advice for other districts who may want to look into a similar program.
