Podcast Episode 132: Changing the Game in Education with Jerry Kolber
We all know how important academics is in the classroom, but what about emotional needs in education?
And why is that?
Well, it’s very possible that the standards for teaching in the U.S. are a bit behind the times.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve learned so much about kids & their different emotional needs in education. And yet, for the most part, our educational system in the U.S. hasn’t changed much in the past 200 years.
But through all the research in recent years, there seems to be one common conclusion:
One size doesn’t fit all for education.
We need to adapt and diversify how we are teaching our kids in order to help them learn more and actually retain the information. And as a result, give them the best possible chance at success.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast, we talk with Jerry Kolber. He’s the co-creator and narrator of the hit children’s podcast WHO SMARTED?, Emmy-nominated co-creator and showrunner of Nat Geo’s biggest hit series BRAIN GAMES, and Netflix’s BRAINCHILD with Pharrell Williams.
We discuss how emotional and sensory needs need to be taken into account to help kids succeed better in the classroom. And Jerry shares how he is on a mission to help change the game in education.
