Lifetime educator, Dr. Mindy Shaw, maintained a philosophy in her classroom of 4 to 8 year olds to "teach humanity daily" in addition to the more traditional skill sets of reading, writing and math. Now, in an era of remote and hybrid learning, the notion of teaching humanity is somewhat threatened. She has created a series of e-books and paperbacks so that parents can have the tools they need for also teaching social and emotional skills, and in this series, Dr. Shaw discusses what it means to teach humanity both in general and in an era of learning via computer.

In this edition of Dr. Mindy Shaw's podcast, she has a different focus than usual, although her path on this episode does lead to her philosophy for parenting. Dr. Shaw had a close friend pass away right before this podcast, and it caused her to reflect on life's priorities and in particular what one's own roles and expectations are in one's relationships. As it relates to education, Dr. Shaw was inspired in this episode to once again shares her philosophy that knowledge in and of itself is not the goal and that knowledge without social kindness and being a part of community is almost meaningless. This philosophy has always been at the heart of her classroom teaching and it also is a key ingredient of the social and emotional learning curriculum she has created via her children's nonfiction picture book series. Listen in and in all likelihood you will agree.
