Reflection questions to support personal statement writing: https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/10/21/what-do-you-want-to-be-when-you-grow-up-is-a-horrible-question/ How to get paid to learn: https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/07/23/get-paid-to-learn-six-practices-to-earn-scholarships/ What students learn when we focus on Equity... https://jeffandersonmath.wordpress.com/2021/12/10/grade-for-equity-as-a-college-math-instructor-round-2/ Educators whether that be the humans in the Financial Aid / Scholarship Department or the professors of your courses are performing weekly miracles and delivering exceptional service just to stay sane... while doing the best they can given what they know, how they were treated, and why they are here. Always actively and consciously, be curious, kind, empathetic, and thoughtful when engaging with others. This is a learned skill that you have the opportunity to develop in every interaction with another human. This is in essence what keeps humanity moving forward rather than backward. Affirmation: Personnel is Policy, we are the system - recognize we are the institution, we are the knowledge holders. Say "I am an institution, I'm a school, I'm a library" not with hubris, but with humility... b/c we know that 1st generation, Black Indigenous Students of Color, hold schools & libraries within them. Each of you have the ability to empower the people the people in your lives, we believe in you! I hope this chat inspires you to read the hyperlinks in the description and inspires you to do your own research about the scholarship journey. Doing well in your classes and reflecting on how those classes will matter in your near / far future is a beautiful act of scholarship.

Thank you so much for listening. I have a lot to learn from you, and I would love to.

This is a narration of the blog post entitled What is deep learning? We discuss working definitions of learning, deep learning, and shallow learning. We explore the idea that deep learning involves two separate tasks: understanding and remembering. We also explore 5 useful strategies for improving your ability to remember ideas as you learn deeply. We also present 4 less-than-optimal strategies that lead to diminished capacity to recall ideas and result in shallower learning. We end this post with some challenges to our Learning Code community to build your own knowledge from this discussion. Remember: you can learn anything. When you work hard using effective learning strategies, when you have the courage to make mistakes, reflect on your errors, and make corrections, your brain grows and you build new skills. Si se puede (Yes you can!).

A msg Don wrote me an hour after our talk:
I was already well prepared for those semesters when I had school, work, and club projects simultaneously. I already had many of the dots connected, and I could relatively easily pinpoint the holes in my knowledge and how to fill them. This helped estimate how long it would take to learn each individual lesson or do some task or homework. Also, my knowledge from Formula SAE already covered a lot of the content both in classes and in my job. A bunch of my time ended up being just busywork of going through the motions to reinforce things I already knew, and only a smaller and more manageable amount of my time involved learning new things. The same goes for that day when you saw me taking notes quickly and only half paying attention while writing down a lot of information. I already understood most of the concepts covered in that talk, and I would only tune in 100% when I heard something that I wasn't really familiar with. I already had a mental model ready to go and all my relevant life experiences up until that point had prepared me to go in ready to just learn a little bit more, rather than needing to learn from square 1 every little detail. If there's anything that you could highlight in post editing or in the comments or video/audio descriptions, I'd say its the amount of work that I put in beforehand on my own time that made the actual class, project, or job significantly easier.

I wrote a more comprehensive/contemplative version of this podcast here:
https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/01/08/human-capital/
Please leave a comment at the bottom of the blog piece to help me empower you...
Excerpt: So it’s quite natural to work at one of these large companies. But when human capital goes there, what products are they working on? It’s like unfettered free agents. Imagine you had a pro sports league with no salary cap. What would you do? You would go and hire and sign every single ‘great’ player and stick them on the bench (lol). You’d be guaranteed to win a championship, you’d be a monopolistic championship winner year in year out.

At 1 level, compliant subversion refers to attempts to make judicial protections of rights or powers unworkable while maintaining facial compliance with the law. As we navigate our grades and college degrees lets keep in mind how compliant subversion may serve us.

I share my voice: for all who still feel undervalued for the grades on their transcripts and the color of their skin - here at TLC the race is 1 ... and it's the human race.
Together, we will continue to work toward the promise of transformative change and the realization of a more just and equitable society.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity more radically than the power hierarchies that be... 1 way is from within the system, and working along the fringes... Challenge the Status Quo... Reflect on your Values... Get those Grades and Degrees... 1 class at a time.

LYRICS
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate HIGH
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate LOW
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates HIGH
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love,
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love, the love, the love where is the love the love

This episode is a reading of a recent Learning Code blog post entitled Schedule to Succeed: Plan to Fudge It Up.
We discuss a learning principle and corresponding practice you can use to routinely set and achieve your academic goals. The hope is to help you boost your GPA, decrease your level of stress, and increase the amount of time you have to take care of yourself. Enjoy!
