What this episode covers

Wendy Beth Rosen, a former early childhood educator and seasoned elementary school teacher, is an adjunct instructor at Pacific University. As a proponent of innovation and creativity in the field of education, Wendy has developed numerous curriculum resources on a wide range of topics. In this episode, she discusses her two books. The first is about the connection between vision and learning, and why many students struggle in school because of hidden vision problems that are often misdiagnosed and mistaken for other conditions. Her second book came out of the pandemic. She writes, "The pandemic exposed pervasive societal fractures that have long been destabilizing our educational system. These imbalances and injustices that have compromised teachers, children, families, and communities have been enabled for decades. This watershed moment in our human story requires us to respond to these inhumane conditions with unprecedented commitment and action. At the heart of this book are questions and talking points that will spur us to reimagine schools as healthy, safe, sustainable, vibrant places."  www.wendybethrosen.com
