In this episode, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Lauren Pinto, and Komal Shah dive into teacher hiring practices, and how to find a school that aligns with your own values. We speak to our own journeys as educators searching for teaching jobs, and what our non-negotiables would be in the current climate. We talk about looking for the right environment, and a space that is mutually beneficial for teacher and student. We also ask ourselves a key question: how do schools look for the right teachers for their community? This episode is all about YOU, and putting educators first in the hiring process.

Make It Mindful: Insights for Global Learning is a podcast for globally minded educators who want deep, long-form conversations about how teaching and learning are changing — and what to do about it.
Hosted by former classroom teacher and Banyan Global Learning founder Seth Fleischauer, the show explores how people, cultures, technologies, cognitive processes, and school systems shape what happens in classrooms around the world. Each long-form episode looks closely at the conditions that help students and educators thrive — from executive functioning and identity development to virtual learning, multilingual education, global competence, and the rise of AI.
Seth talks with teachers, researchers, psychologists, and school leaders who look closely at how students understand themselves, build relationships, and develop the capacities that underlie deep learning — skills like perspective-taking, communication, and global competence that are essential for navigating an interconnected world. These conversations surface the kinds of cross-cultural experiences and hard-to-measure abilities that shape real achievement. Together, they consider how to integrate new technologies in ways that strengthen—not replace—the human center of learning.
The result is a set of ideas, stories, and practical strategies educators can apply to help students succeed in a complex and fast-changing world.
