Mariah Rankine-Landers

Hello, and Welcome to Coaching Conversations, where we explore the transformative power of coaching in education. I'm Jim Knight, your host, and today I'm thrilled to have Mariah Rankine-Landers, EdM, join me for an inspiring discussion.

Mariah is a visionary educator who challenges the status quo and advocates for the integration of contemporary arts into the educational system. Her passion lies in redefining the purpose of education, placing the role of artists at the forefront of nurturing imagination, innovation, and critical thinking in young minds.

With a firm belief that tending to our hearts and embracing the arts can dismantle oppressive systems in schools, Mariah leads with love and conviction. As the co-founder of Rise Up! An American Curriculum, inspired by the musical "Hamilton," she is on a mission to revolutionize teaching and learning through creative inquiry.

In our conversation today, Mariah will share her insights on how to cultivate environments where students can fully bloom and thrive. We'll explore the transformative potential of integrating the arts into education and how it can shape attitudes, assumptions, and patterns of knowing for both teachers and students.

Please join us as we dive into Mariah's journey as a catalyst for change in education. This episode promises to be enlightening, inspiring, and filled with actionable strategies for educators looking to create sanctuaries of learning where all students can flourish.
