Fostering a Child's Passion with Devon Smith

A Tribe Called Dad

Devon Smith has spent over 20 years in the Santa Monica Unified School District both as a teacher and administrator. Currently, he is the coordinator of learning and innovation, pushing the boundaries of education throughout the district.

He describes himself as a social justice educator who builds programs to empower students to find and navigate their college and career pathways. Beyond that, Devon is a devoted husband and father to Milo, 11 and PJ, 19, and heads up the Men's Rap Session where like-minded men meet bi-weekly to engage in meaningful, honest conversations around a variety of topics.

In this episode, Devon talks about ways that we as parents and now, in quarantine, as teachers as well, can help identify and foster passion in our kids. There's also some great tips from the 20+ year educator about the most important thing to remember when home schooling your kids - authentic connection!
