This episode dives into the practice of Crew: structures, strategies, behaviors, and mindsets that support a school community and the individuals within it. Host Roel Mason-Vivit meets with Ron Berger for a conversation that echoes a typical Crew meeting structure: greeting, reading, activity, debrief.

In Part 1, Ron and Roel share their advice and reflections on the practice of Crew, and share their personal journeys of learning to teach, lead, and live with their whole selves.

In Part 2, Ron and Roel speak to students and teachers practicing Crew across the country across all grade bands. The complete episode can be found in EL Education's Crew Navigator, an interactive course that will give you tools and strategies to understand, prepare for, practice and improve Crew at your school. Find it at https://eleducation.org/what-we-offer/curriculum-services/online-courses

Ron Berger is the Senior Advisor at EL Education and is the author of 8 educational books, with his latest focused on Crew. Ron speaks nationally and internationally about student character, teaches at Harvard Graduate School of Education, and most importantly, has spent over 25 years leading Crew himself as a public school teacher. Roel Mason-Vivit is EL Education's Director of Partnerships for the Midwest region, and the co-founder of Polaris Charter Academy in Chicago, IL.

Original music, audio engineering and mixing on Crew, not passengers is by Sean Brennan.
