Finding the Genius in Everyone, with Dr. Betty Webb

In today’s episode, we'll review the 12 suggested action step for effectively adopting AI into our schools as outlined in The Center for Universal Education at Brookings' study "A New Direction for Students in an AI World: Prosper, Prepare, Protect."

Prosper, Prepare, and Protect (Part IV: Brookings AI Study–Framework for Action)

In this episode of Unpacking Education, Mike Rahn, an English and AVID Elective teacher at Elk River High School in Minnesota, shares his journey from aspiring lawyer to passionate educator and explains how discovering AVID transformed his teaching and his sense of purpose.

 You’ll hear how relationships and high academic standards work hand in hand in Mike's classroom, why critical reading and organization are foundational skills for student success, and how AVID strategies like marking the text and Collaborative Study Groups help students take ownership of their learning. Most importantly, Mike reminds us that teaching is about making a difference and helping students find purpose, build confidence, and go out into the world ready to make a positive impact.

At the heart of this conversation is a powerful idea: education is about purpose. For Mike, making a difference starts with building strong relationships and holding students to high expectations. “Holding those high standards in the academic portion of the room signals to kids, ‘This guy is going to push me to be better.’” That push, grounded in humor and authentic connection, creates a classroom culture where students feel both supported and challenged.

Purpose also shapes how Mike structures learning. Whether students are organizing digital folders, marking the text with sticky notes, or collaborating in study groups, every strategy is rooted in clarity and intention. “When we're reading something, the kids know exactly what we're trying to do with it.” That transparency helps students connect academic work to their own growth. Ultimately, the goal extends beyond grades or graduation. It’s about equipping students with the tools, confidence, and mindset to make a positive impact long after they leave the classroom.
