Using Teachable Moments to Connect Students With the World

This week we talk about “teachable moments” when teachers stop the usual lessons to talk about things happening in the world that matter to students. The conversation shows how important these moments are for making students feel like they’re part of their community and the bigger world. But it also looks at the tough parts, like figuring out what’s okay to talk about in class and how to deal with wrong information on social media.

Finding authentic and innovative ways to bring Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) to young people has been a living turnaround in Rachel’s life since 2004. It ignited her passion for becoming a teacher and co-founding The Thinking Project. Harvey Alvy has served as a teacher, principal, and university professor, and was honored to be a National Distinguished Principal.
