SUMMARY:Author Talk: Gregg Behr & Ryan Rydzewski
DESCRIPTION: \nAuthor Talk: Education: Learning Inspired by Mister Rogers with Authors Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski \nJune 15th\, 2021 — 8:00 PM ET | 5:00 PM PT\nTuesday\, June 15th at 8pm ET: PBS Books presents this Author Talk with Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski\, hosted by PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger\, discussing the important lessons we can continue to glean from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. This special event will include an in-depth exploration of their book When You Wonder\, You’re Learning: Mister Rogers’ Enduring Lessons for Raising Creative\, Curious\, Caring Kids\, which traces indispensable “tools for learning.” As Behr and Rydzewski suggest\, Rogers’ logic has only grown more applicable to education and parenting in modern contexts. The two authors will explore the explicit and implicit messages Rogers shared with us and how we might create productive visions for our future as we investigate them further. \nAbout the Book\nWhen You Wonder\, You’re Learning is an essential exploration into the tools for learning that are still so vital in how we raise our children today. So much of what made Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood essential was invisible to the camera. Fred Rogers’ careful plans to nourish curiosity and encourage creativity were built so skillfully into his scripts and songs that viewers never even knew they were there. The lessons from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood—and the designs that helped Rogers fulfill them—have never been more needed\, especially in the wake of a deadly pandemic that changed the way children learn unlike anything else before it. According to data from the 2020 census\, nearly 93 percent of households with school-age children reported engaging in some form of distance learning—a dramatic departure from how kids and families have typically learned in the past. \nFeaturing a foreword by Rogers’ late wife\, Joanne Rogers\, the book brings the lessons of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood into the digital age. Each chapter reveals the logic behind Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood\, connecting Rogers’ methods to the latest science and sharing helpful tips for parents and educators. Along the way\, readers learn from renowned thinkers and scientists\, many of whom worked with Rogers himself: media and communication experts\, psychologists\, museum curators\, after-school program designers\, and more. \nAbout the Authors \n\nGregg Behr\, executive director of The Grable Foundation\, is a father and children’s advocate whose work is inspired by the legacy of his hero\, Fred Rogers. For more than a decade\, he has helped lead Remake Learning—a network of educators\, scientists\, artists\, and makers he founded in 2007—to international renown. Formed in Rogers’ real-life neighborhood of Pittsburgh\, Remake Learning has turned heads everywhere from Forbes to the World Economic Forum for its efforts to ignite children’s curiosity\, encourage creativity\, and foster justice and belonging in schools\, libraries\, museums\, and more. Behr is an advisor to the Brookings Institution and the Fred Rogers Center\, and has been cited by Barack Obama and the Disruptor Foundation as an innovator and thought leader.\nRyan Rydzewski is an education reporter whose award-winning stories on science\, learning\, and more appear in outlets around the country. A former elementary school teacher\, his magazine features span everything from schools to space travel to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
