S7 E104: Our Survival List

In this episode, educators Erin, Fred, and Pete delve into the challenges faced by both educators and students during the notorious month of March. As March rolls around, maintaining focus and motivation becomes increasingly difficult with the anticipation of Spring Break followed by the impending testing season and the long stretch before summer vacation. To shed light on strategies for navigating this challenging period, the hosts engage in a survival scenario game, drawing on insights from Mark Wanvig, a former instructor in survival training for the Reconnaissance School of the 101st Division of the U.S. Army. Currently conducting wilderness survival training programs in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Wanvig's expertise lends a unique perspective to the discussion. The survival simulation game, commonly utilized in military training classrooms, provides a framework for evaluating essential items for enduring challenging circumstances. By applying this framework to the context of education, the hosts offer practical insights into prioritizing tasks, managing stress, and fostering resilience during the demanding March period.
