Today we will be delving deeper into the need for total school transformation. Join us as we talk to Katrina Martinez, long time Legacy administrator and now New Tech Network national PBL coach and trainer as we discuss the data behind the need to change school practices to better prepare kids for their future careers, some which have yet to be invented.
Nicole May, Director of Plano school and James Pacheco, long time science PBL facilitator will also join us to talk about what 21st century school looks like at the campus and classroom levels.
An especially interesting chart will also be shared showing what learning schools will be disappearing as new skills begin to be valued in schools! Fascinating!

This week we will be delving into nutrition and kids, just in time for summer, when food becomes a different issue due to school being out. We will discuss summer feeding sites around town for those who need to take advantage of this, the federal government's new alternative to the food pyramid, and what is and IS NOT on it anymore, and what some of the calories/sugar/fat are in foods at ballparks, amusement parks, and other summer venues.
We will also explore the topic of self-snacking. Should children be allowed to munch at will? Does that lead to independence or overeating?
Let us know in the comments if you learned anything new after listening to today's information!
