Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

1 S6E12 - How One District Improved On-track by Shifting Their System Towards More Student-centered Practices 30:00
Episode Notes Check out the Institute For Learning’s Vision of Collaborative Work ! Here’s what Sara DeMartino says about it: “While the driver diagram was helpful in thinking through the theory of change, we found teachers and leaders, more than anything, wanted to know the role that they played in that theory and the role other members of the system were playing as well. We reviewed this document at the beginning of each year to make sure it still held, but also as a way to remind all of us that we had a stake in making change and were responsible for supporting the vision of teaching and learning that we collectively set.”…
Episode Notes Check out this video about the sIlvery blue/Xerces blue surrogacy project! The Silvery Blue/Xerces surrogacy project began with the ideas of Robert Michael Pyle, and have since included many partners. These include Robert Michael Pyle's Xerces Society , Creekside Science , and Revive and Restore . Durrell Kapan wanted to take the opportunity of these notes to say a bit more about his biology teacher Neal Maine (who threw the book out the window). Here's a note from Durrell: "It’s relevant to note that Neal's impact has been far-reaching—not only on the students he taught but also on the conservation programs he helped begin. These include the Haystack Rock Awareness program, which started with a “failed” non-game grant application I made under his tutelage that led to the city starting the program (I worked on it for two years, first as an interpreter and later as the coordinator), and the North Coast Land Conservancy, which has conserved thousands of acres of the Oregon Coast, started by Neal Maine after he retired."…

Episode Notes To find out more about the deeper learning conference visit the website, deeper-learning.org . Walter Cortina , 19, is Bridgemakers President and Co-Founder. Led by Minnesota youth from backgrounds of extreme adversity, Bridgemakers amplifies the voice and mentors the leadership of under-resourced youth to bridge America’s toughest gaps. Walter became homeless at 13 after his parents were deported to Mexico. The Minneapolis native worked three jobs to support himself and his family and encountered the juvenile justice system. Experiencing trauma and poverty at an early age, Walter discovered his passion to channel anger and pain into action and purpose. At 15, he created and led Venture Academy’s Changemakers team to advocate for student-centered school improvement. At 17, he interned for the Minneapolis Foundation CEO and co-keynoted the Teacher-Powered Schools National Conference. After losing their jobs in the 2020 pandemic shutdown, Walter and other youth built a bipartisan statewide coalition that generated 65 media features, successfully sued the State of Minnesota and permanently changed state law, bringing $33 million in unemployment benefits to 20,000 eligible students. Walter’s journey is featured in Sam Seidel’s Hip-Hop Genius 2.0: Remixing High School Education (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022). The first in his family to graduate high school, he graduated from the High School for Recording Arts (HSRA) in St. Paul last May. Walter’s life purpose is to create a world in which youth have the resources, mentorship, access, and opportunities to be leaders of their destiny to create a better tomorrow for everyone. You can learn more about Bridgemakers at Bridgemakersmn.org Also, read the article “Building Bridgemakers” in Unboxed !…
