EduSpots’ Post

EduTransform’s vision includes the creation of model schools that set a new benchmark for global education. These schools are designed to go beyond traditional classrooms, fostering innovation, inclusivity, and collaboration. With state-of-the-art facilities and a focus on student-centered learning, they provide an environment where learners can thrive. Our model schools are built on the principles of Project-Based Learning (PBL), ensuring that students are not just passive recipients of knowledge but active participants in their education. These schools prepare learners to navigate the challenges of a globalized world by emphasizing critical thinking, adaptability, and teamwork. But our commitment doesn’t end with students. These model schools also serve as training grounds for teachers, equipping them with cutting-edge teaching methodologies and tools. By integrating technology and fostering community engagement, we’re creating learning hubs that benefit not just students and teachers but entire communities. Through these schools, EduTransform is paving the way for an educational revolution that impacts lives across borders. #EduTransform #modelschool #projectbasedlearning #EducationalRevolution

At JOMO, we believe in putting joy (and often humour) at the centre of things. During a recent school visit on the west coast, I was breezing out of a listening session with a group of high schoolers when a 16-year-old boy ran up to me and urgently asked, “For a kid like me who wants [to be digitally well], what do I need to know?" I paused and looked deep into his eyes. Here was a young man who, in his own words, had already made significant changes to his digital habits encouraged by the learning and new practices his parents had recently adopted. I told him, “You need to understand the design of the technology tools you use and the environments you inhabit daily, to understand where you are right now and where you want to go, to learn what supports your goals and makes you well, and the tactical changes needed to make your well-being and success a reality.” I should have also said, "The community to get you there." The three pillars of the JOMO(campus) high school program are (1) Staff, (2) Student, and (3) Family Education. We know that our layered approach across campuses works - with multiple touchpoints for the community - in classrooms and out. That's how culture is built. Here's a favourite funny classroom video from our JOMO(campus) resource kit, which is coming soon to our brand new US and Canadian schools coast to coast. Creating a #phonefree #school environment is a powerful first step in fostering a culture of #digitalwellness. But it's only the beginning. By embracing a comprehensive approach that includes understanding technology’s design, focusing on joy, and fostering community support, we can help our students develop the skills and habits they need for lifelong digital well-being.

📢 New Article Alert! From Whispers to Roars: Empowering Young People to Use Their Voice📢 I am thrilled to announce the publication of my latest article with Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC), "From Whispers to Roars: Empowering Young People to Use Their Voice". This piece dives deep into the vital importance of student voice in shaping a better future for education. Have you ever felt like your voice wasn't being heard? Like your thoughts and feelings were dismissed simply because of your age? This article explores this very experience and how it can impact young people. It shares a personal journey of finding a voice and highlights the transformative power of being truly listened to. It also shares some of the things BPS is doing to amplify student voices, showcasing inspiring initiatives and programs within Boston Public Schools (BPS) and community partnerships that are making a real difference including: Inquiry-Based Learning: Encouraging student-centered activities, exploration, and collaboration as implemented by Jermaine Tulloch Student Leadership and Decision-Making: Programs like the Boston Student Advisory Council (BSAC) empower students to actively participate in shaping their education - check out the profound words of Tewahedo Haimanot Community Partnerships: Organizations like WriteBoston and their Teens in Print program provide platforms for marginalized voices to be heard. Creating safe and inclusive environments where students feel comfortable sharing their perspectives is essential. Building genuine relationships with students is key to fostering a culture of listening and working intentionally to amplify student voices should extend beyond the classroom, involving students in decision-making processes at all levels.

I recently had the opportunity to share some thoughts on purpose-driven organizations for Authority Magazine. The interview is a little long, but if you want the cliff notes, here's my “5 Things You Need To Create a Successful Purpose Driven Business Model”: 1 . Commit to Values: Life will test your values, and it will be tempting to ditch them for the sake of survival. My best advice is that’s exactly when you need to lean into them the hardest. If you fail, you’ll still be proud of yourself. If you succeed, you’ll create transformational systemic change. 2 . Be Authentic: Be real with your customers. Be transparent with your staff. Communicate with them often and candidly. Engage with them as if they are rooting for you. Own up to your mistakes, and share the insights you've learned from them with others. 3 . Seek Collaboration: Too often folks see others in their industry as competition. And that may be true in many cases. However, what if we looked for organizations with complementary strengths? Who may already be working with a community or a client whom we can partner with to amplify the shared impact we want to have on them? What if we put the greater good first instead of just our own organization's growth for growth’s sake? 4 . Co-Design: You don’t have to have all the answers yourself. Design products and services alongside your clients and partners. People support that which they create. Have a way for folks to give meaningful input in your product or service design. If you have multiple partners, ensure everyone has an equal voice. When you let go of some control, the outcome can be more beautiful than you imagined and the impact stronger. 5 . Lead with Love: Above all, lead with love. Love is the opposite of fear. Too often, our society's systems are designed from a place of fear. Only when we design from a place of love for humanity, for animals, for the planet, whatever our cause may be, can we design for a more just and equitable world.

Dear parents & educators, Imagine a world where every child’s learning journey doesn’t stop at the school gates but continues to inspire and empower during the 4,940 hours they spend outside the classroom. That’s the future we’re building—one hour, one child, and one family at a time. Here’s how we’re making it happen: We’re tackling three of the world’s biggest challenges—education, health, and inequality—by transforming how kids and their families learn together. ⏳ 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 85% Kids spend only 15% of their annual learning time in school. The remaining 85%—those 4,940 hours—offers an untapped opportunity to shape their futures. We’re making those hours impactful, ensuring holistic growth. 🚀 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 By engaging both students and families, our innovative learning model creates ripple effects that extend far beyond the individual. Together, we’re building stronger families, communities, and futures. 💡 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 The impact starts small—with one child—but it grows to touch families, communities, and eventually the world. The journey has just begun, and we’re just getting started! Together, we can create a world where every learning moment matters.
