Great discussion about data with Governor Pritzker!

Thank you for doing this, Herzog Foundation! There are profound theological and pedagogical reasons to at least be asking these questions. Sure, it blows up much of the way we think about traditional school. But in general, doesn't the assumptions that come from starting with the gospel as our first premise also blow up a lot of assumptions! There's enough data out there about the pedagogical effects on students and their capacities; it provides more time for teachers to prep and to stay sharp throughout the week; it creates more space for recognizing the importance of the family; (if Monday is the day "off,") it encourages greater participation in and enjoyment of our corporate worship. I could go on and on. It's part of the reason why it's one of the first podcast episodes I put together for RenewEd. 24 minute listen here: https://lnkd.in/gaRDXAKk

As 2023 comes to an end, we take a look at all our accomplishments. While teachers are known for their selflessness and care toward their students, it is equally crucial for them to take care of their own health and well-being. In this blog, we explore ways educators can focus on themselves and ensure their well-being while expressing our gratitude for their outstanding work this year.

🔍 Analyzing Target Medical Schools: A Strategic Approach for Pre-Meds I recently came across this insightful infographic from the University of Michigan Medical School, showcasing a snapshot of their admitted applicants. For all the aspiring doctors out there, such data can be invaluable in guiding your choices during your crucial pre-med years. A few takeaways: Prioritize Experience: Notice how many more hours successful applicants dedicated to working with underserved populations, compared to roles in student government. Diverse Interests Count: From social justice to performance arts and even athletics, holistic experiences seem to resonate with admissions. When time is of the essence, and the medical school journey is competitive, channeling your energy into high-impact areas can make all the difference. Make informed choices, and leverage insights like these to strategize your way into your dream school! 📚💡 #PreMedLife #MedicalSchool #StrategicPlanning #FutureDoctors

We’ve launched our ‘Call for Abstracts’ for our 5th Annual Conference. As the RJC celebrates its 25th anniversary, it is an excellent time to acknowledge the sector’s achievements, face up to the present challenges and imagine future possibilities. Thus, the theme of the 5th annual RJC conference is Restorative Reflections: A blueprint for a restorative future. We believe that everyone should live in a truly restorative society. Within criminal justice this means empowering the people most affected by giving them the right to access restorative justice. But a restorative society is much more than that. We also need to focus on our communities, workplaces, schools, colleges, hospitals and, well, any institution that contains people. Over the past 25 years, the restorative sector has made significant strides, but we know that more can be done moving forward. This is why, during this year’s conference, we want to explore the future of all things restorative! Read more about submitting your abstract at 👉 https://lnkd.in/eiSR3YnS
