I subscribe line by line the first paragraph of the Daniel post. And let me add that companies should be also a place where ideas should flourish to improve performance and prosperity for the shareholders as academia does for their students

This is so important. Academia is a unique place where people should have freedom to think deeply about any subject and articulate differing views and challenge each other and the rest of us to move our mental models and how we interpret the world and leverage it forward. If I remember rightly, because it was set up before Parliament Cambridge and am sure Oxford too is also subject to different legal “parameters”, “jurisdictions” and “powers of enforcement” within its own grounds”. Am not quite sure how this translates to the digital world in which all of us now spend so much of our lives and conversation. Sometimes it takes a few generations to fully appreciate these seminal moments and acts. Freedom of thought, to test, probe, investigate, challenge, reinvent, imagine, create from which so much progress comes - ultimately embodied in freedom of speech. This is much deeper and more significant than it seems at first blush we need a space in society that transcends temporal expectations and norms. And it is so important that it does so and can continue to do so. Roger Mosey

Excited to be sharing today, Neil Castle's first ever peer reviewed journal article. In which we focus on - A Model for Effective Learning in Competition: A Pedagogical Tool to Enhance Enjoyment and Perceptions of Competency in Physical Education Lessons for Young Children. The article shares Neil's Master's by Research data and shows ways in which enjoyment and competency can be developed in competition. The article is published in the special issue Movement Behaviors and Motor Skills in Early Years Children, in the journal Children. You can access the full text here: https://lnkd.in/eaMj4YSK

Imagine meeting one of the people you have been quoting and referencing in your dissertation. Then imagine being photographed with individuals who your study is about also, Diversity and Equity officers in public education. When I tell you there is so much power, sacrifice and commitment in one photo. This is what happens when your work comes alive before your eyes. What an honor to meet and share space with Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings one the creators of Critical Race Theory and culturally relevant pedagogy.#bthelight#RCOE#excellenceinEQUITY#,

In her essay in The Raised Hand: “Pursuing the Good Life in Community,” Janel Curry, President of the American Scientific Affiliation, discusses criticisms of higher education that elevate and emphasize individual scholarship and success, over and above the benefits of the communal pursuit of knowledge — a traditional focus of higher education.

It is increasingly difficult to find students at the collegiate level who know how to engage in spirited, rigorous, but amiable debate about important matters. Grandstanding, emotive outbursts calculated to silence opposition, and the recitation of prefabricated talking points mark much of the environment. Rather than seeking to expose the truth, much of what counts for debate is actually aimed at domination and manifests unhealthy conformance to the reigning ideas of a school of thought or a political activist agenda. A proper training from a younger age in the art of seminar discussion would help contemporary college students navigate the choppy waters of young adulthood. This talk given by Andrew Zwerneman addressed how those of us who teach secondary students can create environments free, curious, and open for seminar discussions. It will address the goals of a seminar; the necessary habits and tools for a fruitful discussion; and common mistakes that spoil a seminar. Andrew J. Zwerneman serves as Cana Academy’s President and as one of Cana Academy's Master Teachers. For 39 years, he has taught and consulted in secondary schools that emphasize classical humanities. For 19 years he headed schools—2 years at the public charter school Tempe Preparatory Academy in Tempe, Arizona, and 17 at Trinity School at Meadow View in Falls Church, Virginia. He is the founder and owner of The Academy Project, LLC, which wrote the curricula and trained faculties for Thomas MacLaren School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Trinity Academy in Portland, Oregon. Education: B.A., A.B.D., University of Notre Dame; M.A., St. John’s University. He is the author of "History Forgotten and Remembered" (2020) and "The Life We Have Together: A Case for Humane Studies, A Vision for Renewal" (2022). This lecture was delivered live at the Fall Classical Summit, a regional classical conference held at Thales Academy Rolesville Junior High-High School on October 6, 2023.
