What recess games teach us about giving feedback

On today's show...

Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Cases are going up in South Dakota.

Andrew Ellsworth, M.D., is a physician in Brookings and a member of the On Call with the Prairie Doc® team. He gives us an update on the rise in whooping cough and how to stay healthy (1:00 to 12:19).

Giving and receiving feedback isn't always easy. Our Teacher Talk panel uses the recess game Four Square as a guide for how educators can help their students grow through useful criticism (12:19 to 30:57).

Gemma Sisia and Dr. Suleiman Mohammed share the story of a school built by hope in Tanzania. Sisia is the founder of The School of St. Jude and Mohammed is an alumnus (30:57 to 43:43).

Plus, SDPB's C.J. Keene takes us on a forest journey through time (43:43 to 48:23).
