I had a great conversation with Paul Stisser, the Director of Educational Institutions and LMS Partnerships for ReadSpeaker. Paul has been a leader in ReadSpeaker's TTS Education initiatives. Prior to ReadSpeaker, Paul worked at D2L and start-up Moblmedia. He also has 14 years of education and teaching experience in Rochester, NY, specializing in Special Education and At-Risk Students. Paul attended St. Bonaventure University with degrees in History and Literacy. We talked about ReadSpeaker which is a text-to-speech (TTS) company. With ReadSpeaker embedded into an LMS, a website, or learning content, the user can choose from 68 languages and over 245 voices. They can choose from a suite of reading and writing tools; personalize their reading speed, highlighting preferences, font, size, colors, and more; and select distraction-free “text-only” mode. We've been trying to raise awareness about TTS tools being not only for students who need them. Follow on Twitter: ReadSpeaker Learn more about ReadSpeaker and get started today!

There are ways we can teach students emotional regulation, growth mindset, and empathy while helping them to connect with themselves, and the environment. Join Dr. Julie Leto and I as we have a dynamic conversation about using gardening to help students learn lessons that will be invaluable in school and throughout their life. As Dr. Julie points out, all students are "at-risk", so whether you work with elementary age children, middle or high school students, this episode on connecting gardening to the classroom is likely to inspire you in seeing growth through an entirely new lens. Dr, Julie has been a passionate advocate for children most of her life. She's helped families, communities and schools improve learning and motivation for 30 years as an educational psychologist, teacher and parent coach. An expert in cognitive load – how our brains handle quantities of input - an area more important than ever in our hyper-connected, always-on, electronic world, she sees that kids process information and need to be parented differently than we were. Dr. Julie learned that the greatest impact for students are the result of changes made by the adults around them.  To connect with Dr. Julie or learn more about the Tower Garden, visit: https://linktr.ee/drjulie(or to join her amazing group "Parent Warriors" directly go to  https://www.facebook.com/groups/parentwarriors/ )Enjoy the show!Let's change lives together.Join our Facebook community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/compassionateeducationresources/  for more resources.EMAIL support@compassionateeducators.com or VISIT https://www.compassionateeducators.com/ to learn more about working directly with Marie.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/CompassionateEducators)

Join host Aaron Huey on a live recording with parents discussing contracts and consequences! Helping teens & parents gain true insight & understanding of natural consequences to behaviors of teens while giving them the plans to take action and be their child's best ally. If your boundaries are not firm, they are suggestions. As adults, when we set boundaries, we are supposed to mean it. If not we should not have set the boundary. Adults set loving boundaries in loving ways. Another important Love And Logic concept is to delay the consequences. Wait until the heat of the moment is over. https://youtu.be/65ajObC27H8…Read Morewww.firemountainprograms.com
