1.	GRASPP	Creating change requires a "real-time" battle plan that can GRASPP, evaluate, and adjust in the middle of a fight.	video
2.	sing a song	You can make a whole new song - that speaks to our present-day plight - out of song & movie titles from albums & CDs that you have "sitting in the crates".	video
3.	the formula	"Spare me all these details, man ... just tell me what I need to know (about life)."	video

About KnowledgeBase's "Reach - Then Teach" Store

Since our daughter Hannah’s birth (in 2013), I have published a catalog of music and learning content that we sell online.

Yes - you can pay via purchase order - here is how!

Our catalog offers "on-demand" downloadable classes (short, introductory video guides bundled with accompanying digital document resources) designed as flexible, multi-use supplemental educational materials.

Our content supports nurturing small-group fellowship, relationship building, and character education via informal social & emotional learning (SEL).

For example, last year we wrote and produced a "curriculum album" called "changED" - an original video collection of 10 songs (MP4 format with on-screen lyrics) dedicated to Hannah that encourage social change through direct action.

This year, we released "Follow The Leader (changED - Volume 2)" - a collection of 10 NEW songs.

The on-screen lyrics help students engage each song's messages - which make each song a "textbook".

We bundled the 10 videos with a PDF lyrics booklet.

A teacher (or motivated student) with this bundle can then inspire, inform, and engage other students via traditional (and non-traditional) individual and / or team critical thinking and creative writing projects.

These projects include (but are not limited to) “standup storytelling”, debates, essays, public speaking, poetry & songwriting (and performance), field trips, short videos (like public service announcements), and letter writing campaigns.

These projects help students to weigh and consider current events through the tools of empathy, analysis, synthesis, mentoring, mediation, and problem solving.

Our goal is to help them to become engaged and invested in the process of change - by finding and using their "voice" and gifts.

About Derrick Brown (Standup Storyteller)

I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.

I am a “standup storyteller.”

I fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking), singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.

Everything must change - and stay changED.

Tradition begins and ends with change.

Change begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation, and problem solving as tools of change.

I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.

My education began when I finished school.

After school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language, self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.

My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.

I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.

We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.

I now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).
