This time the book is a podcast. When you’re tired or busy with another task, well the podcast can be just the thing. Recently I heard Learning, Doing, Being: A New Science of Education. If you were intrigued by Alanna Mitchell’s recent Atkinson Series: Brainstorm about the developments of brain science and the impact on education, then this podcast may interest you.
From Speaking of Faith produced by American Public Media, host Krista Tippett talks with writers, artists, scientists, thinkers and theologians about ” belief, meaning, ethics and ideas” . Last week she interviewed neuroscientist (and dancer) Adele Diamond who now teaches at UBC .
She talks about Executive Functions. It turns out that play and especially dramatic play is key to the development of self –regulation.
“Her work is scientifically illustrating the educational power of things like play, sports, music, memorization and reflection” The more parts of an individual that get involved, the more the brain changes. The research is “turning modernity on its head”
Here is a short slide show clip....

There seems to be so many different ways of functioning. I'm not even sure myself what is correct or even legal or minimally, what is allowed or acceptable. Question: Do any school fundraising groups out there, whether school council or parent group…
Hi marbat: You can get the details on the fundraising consultation regarding provincial guidelines on fundraising, student fees, and corporate sponsors from your board's PIC/Chair or Director. The deadline is Jan. 15.
Does anyone have experience with a board committee proposing removing students from a small community with a healthy elementary population, bussing them into the city to prop up a city school that has neighboring schools in the urban boundary that a…
Where would I find this fund raising policy discussion-- if its a formal question from the Ministry, I think our board has already made the decision years ago. School Councils have no bank account in our boards; we can decide to do a fund raiser and…
Hello Gay
Believe it or not, I had trouble finding a family who wasn't already on the green track! We wanted to get the story on the air soon -- while the copenhagen talks are on, so, we're working on a new angle -- people who are living the EXTREME…
A greener lifestyle is something we all strive for in our own ways. Deborah, this sounds like fun for one lucky family who is not shy about being on TV! I'm going to send your request out to members of our online community who have told us they live…
Marbat, I have a different take. Schools council's exist, ie. in business terms are their own entity. We have bylaws, voting structure etc. If we fundraise we direct the funds- the principal cannot "out vote us".
To some of your points.

CBC TV's new show "Connect with Mark Kelley" is looking for a family who wants to try living a greener lifestyle for one week. We want to hear about what is dead simple to do, dumb or downright not going to happen, and we'll have an eco expert givin…
