Rebel Educator®

Yvette Larsson, an international Swede, is passionate about learning and innovation so that we can create  a better world together. She uses applied neuroscience, focusing on our human potential and the question: What does it mean to be human in a global age of technology?   Her personal story starts 100 kilometers above the Arctic Circle, where she grew up with a lot of freedom and adventure to roam the mountains and the forests of Swedish Lapland. She admits that she was often bored. In hindsight, she has realized that she developed her sense of creativity and entrepreneurial mindset from growing up in a UNESCO protected area with omnipresent nature as her playground. She became an avid reader,  traveled in her imagination, explored ideas, and still does.   Join us for this conversation about 21st century education, what students want, and what we can do to create a more modern education for learners.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: What does it mean to be a human in the global age of technology. How to balance in-person and digital connection and communication. What is a hackathon and how it’s redesigning education for “glocal” communities. The key message youth want adults to know and how we can best support their need. How Yvette collaborated with others to create a successful well-being program at her school. Yvette’s journey with co-founding AHA to develop learning experiences for the 21st century.     RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Connect with Yvette on LinkedIn and Instagram and visit her website Visit ahaacceleratingeducation.org to learn more about their work to boost human potential through neuroscience Learn more about Rebel Educator, explore our professional development opportunities for educators and students, and check out our project library Visit us at UP Academy to learn more about our personalized and inclusive learning environment Connect with Tanya and UP Academy on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram and learn more about her journey here     Check out my book Rebel Educator: Create Classrooms Where Impact and Imagination Meet: amzn.to/3AcwlfF   Enjoying the show?

Join me as we discuss how to shift the classroom, the learning environment, the mindset, and the pedagogy, to resist tradition, reignite wonder, and re-imagine the future of education.   This podcast is dedicated to all of the educators who work thankless hours to make our next generation the best it can be.  It was designed to begin conversations on how we can redesign education for the future of work and the success of our students.  It is meant for teachers, students, administrators, homeschoolers and anyone who interacts with and teaches
