"My goal this year is for you to own your learning."
"Teachers need to have ownership over their own professional development."
"I'm working to help principals own the relationships they foster with their community."
Today, I chat (with myself-- solocast!) about one of the ed jargon-y terms that get thrown around a lot by us well-meaning educational professionals. "Ownership". Does it have a place in our communication about school when we're using school as an entry point for creating a more regenerative future? Let's explore some alternatives!

Links from today's podcast:

• MOST IMPORTANTLY: READ BRAIDING SWEETGRASS by Robin Wall Kimmerer (seriously, what are you waiting for).
  • If you can, support your local bookstore!
• Join the (free) Regenerative Ed Community!
• Check out the Embodied Teacher Workshop Series!
• As a side-bar, I mention supporting your local Fibershed, which is supporting the folks who are trying to relocalize the fiber industry. Think: farm-to-table, but only farm-to-fashion. You can probably find one that's been established near you by using this map. (Hey! If you live within 250 miles of Cleveland, Ohio, we're Rust Belt Fibershed!)
