Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Education Series Part 4 | Teaching the Brain to See Itself: ADHD, Anxiety, and Neurofeedback with Dr. Larthenia Howard
Q: What is neurofeedback? Tell us a little bit about the work that you do.
Howard explains that neurofeedback measures electrical activity and timing in the brain and provides visual feedback. With repeated training, the brain can learn more regulated patterns, which may support focus and executive functioning.
Education Series Part 4 | Teaching the Brain to See Itself: ADHD, Anxiety, and Neurofeedback with Dr. Larthenia Howard
Q: What is the ultimate purpose or the heart of education to you?
Howard says education should help people discover themselves as whole people and recognize that every part of them is seen, heard, valued, and worthy, rather than simply receive information.
Education Series Part 2 | The Purpose of Education Isn't Actually What We Thought with John Ricard
Q: How do we balance this traditional view of discipline, which is we have to be strict, with that zeal that we ultimately want to come out of our kids, our students?
Ricard says students need structure and consequences, while opportunities to redo work, receive feedback, and practice help them develop resilience, confidence, and intrinsic motivation.
Education Series Part 2 | The Purpose of Education Isn't Actually What We Thought with John Ricard
Q: Will you share with us the actual etymology of education, actually?
Ricard explains that educere means “to lead out,” describing education as drawing out a student's potential. He connects study with zeal and learning with becoming a lifelong learner.
Education Series Part 3 | Where’d the Executive Functioning Go? Supporting Teachers with Beth Sharpe
Q: What do you think is going on with the perhaps lack of executive functioning right now?
Sharpe says technology may have been given to children before they were taught to use it properly, and that children also need opportunities to fail and learn from their experiences.
