Do you have a moral compass that guides you? Browyn Harcourt, the principal of Croydon Community School, believes it's important to be driven by your values. On this episode, we reflect on why doing what feels "right" can also feel hard but also why it's worth it. It can be isolating to follow your morals if you're the only one. But if no one steps up, who will? How long can we wait for someone else to take the first shot? Remember, you as one person, can make a difference. You are changing lives with each step forward. It doesn't mean you're changing everything on a macro-level, it means that the impact you do make is powerful and it tends to have a ripple effect. Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!

Today you'll get to hear from Darcy Fernandes, an educator, leader, superintendent, and advocate for at-risk students. If you've thought about the fact that schools with wealthier students/families get more money than schools with low income families it means the system's working how it was intended. There is a lot of inequity within schools, ranging from the way that certain students are barred from taking the classes they want to the lack of inclusivity in the textbooks and assignments during class. Darcy is here to say that we need to give all stakeholders in a school a voice. That's what ensures real, sustainable change. Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!

In this episode we are discussing how to take away the rules for creative writing. So many kids may not like writing because we put writing in a box, follow these rules, these prompts, etc. There is no celebration of life or emotions which makes it hard for them to connect to the writing. In John's experience, he advocates for making mindset shifts to experience emotion in pure form and transmit those emotions to activism.
