| 30 Jun 2022 | My New Book Is Here! | 00:07:31 | |
I’m excited to announce that my new book, Rebel Educator, has officially launched and in this special episode you can listen to an excerpt!
What is Rebel Educator? As a caring, dedicated teacher, parent, or educational professional, are you feeling more and more frustrated by the confines of today’s educational environment?
In Rebel Educator, I take a tough, honest look at our modern educational system while providing actionable insights and ideas to fill the classroom with imagination and curiosity.
Grounded in neuroscience yet presented without academic jargon, making it inviting and accessible to parents and teachers alike, Rebel Educator makes a strong, compelling argument for a new educational model for our children—one that teaches them to enjoy learning, bolsters their confidence, and prepares them with the teamwork skills that are vital to long-term life success.
My publisher has agreed to discount the ebook version from its full list price down to $0.99 for the first week of launch so I can share it at a reduced cost.
I’d love to offer you a discounted copy! With the ebook, you can read it from any phone, tablet, or computer. If you’re more of a “feel the paper” type, the physical book is available as well!
Click here to purchase the ebook at the discounted rate.
How can you help? Do NOT feel obligated, but if you have an active Amazon account, I’d be extremely grateful if you could buy the book and leave a review. Reviews are the most important factor in how many new readers the book is able to reach, and each one makes a big difference!

Benjamin Freud is the co-founder of Coconut Thinking, whose ambition is to create spaces for purposeful thinking and action that contribute to the welfare of the bio-collective. Coconut Thinking imagines learning ecosystems that extend beyond physical and conceptual walls. They would be inter-generational and collaborative. Alongside future-ready skills, they would teach future-saving ethics such as “practice eco-reciprocity,” “stand up for justice,” “share with solidarity,” and “act with kindness.” Benjamin is also the Whole School Leader of Learning and Teaching at Prem Tinsulanonda International School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Benjamin focuses on the ‘lived’ curriculum: on pedagogy, and what classroom practice looks like. He thinks about how to develop a culture of active learning, where the boundaries of disciplines start to disappear and learners engage projects that are meaningful and have an impact on themselves, others, and the world. Join us as we discuss Benjamin’s mission to support learners in making a positive impact on the bio- collective, a curriculum of kindness, and authentic opportunities for assessment and feedback.

For over three decades, Homa Sabet Tavangar’s work has addressed themes of culture, innovation, leadership, global citizenship and global competence, and deep diversity, equity, belonging and inclusion. She connects timely topics of the moment with the timeless desire to work with purpose and make a difference – whatever one’s circumstances.

Her other books and publications include Global Kids (Barefoot Books, 2019), The Global Education Toolkit for Elementary Learners (Sage/Corwin, 2014), and her 2021 release, 9 BIG Questions Schools Must Answer to Avoid Going "Back to Normal" (*Because "Normal" Wasn't That Great to Begin With), written with Will Richardson, is available now as a free download.
A graduate of UCLA and Princeton University, Homa has lived on four continents, has heritage in four world religions, speaks (almost) four languages, and is the mother of three daughters. She and her husband live just outside Philadelphia.
Join us for this hope-filled episode about letting go of dead ideas, finding what is sacred to the learning journey, and taking small steps to create global shifts in education.
