Episode 28 - Educating Hearts and Minds with The Spark Initiative

In this amazing episode, I'm in conversation with Brooke Wheeldon-Reese and Ashley Hunt from The Spark Initiative and James Hird, the principal of Horizons Academy Alternative School where he continues his life's work of recovering at risk students. We talked about how educating students and teachers about how the mind works not only allows them to study and learn more effectively, but creates a solid foundation for having "difficult but necessary" conversations about societal issues.  Plus, you may never look at a tea bag or Skittle in the same way again... :-) To learn more about the Spark Initiative, you can check out the links below:
