In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I interview Kristen RB Peterson on letting go of “getting ready for kindergarten” and focusing on play based learning instead. Listen in as we discuss the findings of studies on the importance of play and how to foster more play in your home. We talk about: 4:45 Study about play based preschools vs. academic preschools 5:30 Confusion around what play is and what play is not 6:45 Five Characteristics of play 11:31 Play schemas (patterns in children's play) 13:00 Importance of “loose materials” for play 14:42 Why parents should avoid academic focused preschools 26:13 NASA Creativity Study 33:00 How parents can help their kids have more play 38:00 Importance of risky play in early childhood Download the episode transcript HERE  Resources mentioned in this episode: IG @kristen.rb.peterson Play-Based Learning Podcast https://www.kristenrbpeterson.com/podcasts  Kristen's Website https://www.kristenrbpeterson.com/  Citations for the studies: “Studies that compared the performance of children attending academic preschools with those attending play-based preschools showed no advantage in reading and math achievement for children attending academic preschools. However, evidence did suggest that children attending academic preschools had higher levels of test anxiety, were less creative, and had more negative attitudes toward school than did the children attending play-based preschool.” Swart, K., & Houser, K.

Laura chats with Melysa Mei, of PreK Spot, to discuss the challenges and rewards of implementing play-based learning in public schools with box curricula. Melysa has administrative and family support to follow the children's lead in her NYC Pre-K classroom. With this she adapts her teaching to foster play and storytelling in her classroom. Highlights: Boxed Curricula: Laura and Melysa both have used Creative Curriculum. They share the pros and cons and ways they've adapted it to meet the needs of their play-based classrooms. “Justifying” Play-Based Teaching Methods: Laura and Melysa share about the importance of documenting to show learning that is taking place. By capturing small moments of play, you can help others see all that is unfolding while children engage in their own play. Fantasy Play: Melysa and Laura give examples of imaginative play that they recently saw unfold. In both instances, children were using materials unconventionally and instead of intervening, they allowed the play to unfold. Listen in to get insights into Melysa's experiences as a New York City public school Pre-K teacher and how play is a vital part of children's learning and development. If you're ready to take some small steps towards implementing play-based learning in an environment that has a mandated curriculum, this episode is for you!

With so much talk, and perhaps hype, around skills-based learning, how do we tune into the signal and tune out the noise? One way to do this is to talk with the leaders who have incorporated skills-based learning in more than one organisation and are making it work for them, their workforce, and organisation. In this episode Brandon Caldwell explains how he's done just this - the hard way and the AI-powered much faster way - and how you can too.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Skills-based learning is a language that everybody can understand. AI is accelerating the rollout of skills-based learning at a staggering pace. Using AI a task that would take 4 to 5 years has been done in 18 months. Skills-based learning largely solves the issues caused by today´s tight labour market. Business leaders already understand that skills-based learning works. They desperately want you to provide it. Because the skills are the nuts and bolts that help enable people to do the tasks, this is wholeheartedly performance oriented. Introducing skills-based learning is costly, so starting in the right place matters. Brandon explains how to do that. Skills are truly transferable. If someone in marketing wants to become an HR manager, they can do that and do it quickly. A marketer knows how to promote the job to attract the best new personnel. Anticipate roadblocks and adapt.  Embrace the technology. It now works and will transform your ability to deliver. BEST MOMENTS 'With skills-based learning, you are using a language that everybody can understand.' 'Skills are the nuts and bolts that help enable people to do the tasks.' 'The ability to do what used to take years and do it now in a matter of months is significant, and you can't ignore that.'   Brandon Caldwell Bio Brandon is Director of People & Culture at 365 Retail Markets, the global leader in unattended and self-checkout retail technology. With more than 20 years of experience in HR and L&D leadership, Brandon is a highly credible and impact-driven leader in our field.

This week, Kaity and Adriane discuss mastery-based learning and how technology is revolutionizing personalized instruction. Episode 44 also explores: 

What if we valued skills and competencies more than degrees? As President of Bismarck State College, Dr. Jensen sees education as an economic investment, where the skills a student has upon graduation are far more important than degrees and certifications.A competency-first approach to higher education requires disrupting the traditional model. In this episode, we talk about the components that drive competency-based education, including:How to incorporate credit for prior learningGiving industry partners the freedom to help create and deploy new programsBecoming a polytechnic institution that integrates technology with career-readinessHow BILT teams go far beyond the traditional industry advisory boardWhy education is an economic investment, not a public expenseQuotable Moments:"A college like Bismarck State is someplace where you will go, where people will believe in you before you're capable of believing in yourself.""Education is empowering. If you really want to look at preparing somebody for life, you need to empower them. It's not just about degrees, it's about skills, competencies, and knowledges.""A polytechnic institution starts to train individuals with hands-on real experience, working side-by-side with industry leaders in large flex spaces on projects that they will face in the real world."3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Employers are more interested in the skills and competencies of an individual than their degree: In today's skilled workforce, employers are less interested in "what's your degree in?" and more interested in "what skills do you have that can be put to work to benefit our organization?". The distinction is an important one for higher education. As you look to the future of your programs, consider how a competency-based education model will benefit your graduates and industry partners alike.BILT (Business and Industry Leadership Teams) bring real-world industry challenges to the classroom: BILT teams go beyond the advisory board. Learn about how industrial companies are bringing their challenges to the college, who then helps bring together the best cross-functional teams to devise a solution to that challenge.Education is an economic investment, not a public expense: Dr. Jensen has a unique perspective on the role of education in driving local economies forward. Hear about BSC's unit cost model, their approach to the ROI of programs, and how they've improved that ROI over the last few years.Resources mentioned in this episode:Bismarck State College: North Dakota's Polytechnic InstituteRead about the college's new polytechnic building expansionBusiness and Industry Leadership Teams (BILT)Connect with Bismarck State College:Facebook  |  LinkedIn  |  Twitter  |  YouTubeInstagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

Skills-based learning is the response to the skills gaps and skills shortages being experienced across organisations, industries, and even entire economies. But how do we ensure that we achieve this, and that skills-based learning isn't just another fad that departs as swiftly as it emerged without achieving what it's intended to? In this episode, James Griffin talks about how L&D can step up, upskill, and deliver on the much-heralded promise of skills-based learning. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D as a function needs to be brave and make the change. Skills-based learning is the opportunity to lead the way and make a difference. The use of skills data leads to L&D being far more effective. You can only measure business impact when you fully understand the problem you are addressing. Getting yourself organized around skills is more dynamic.  Assess people for the work they are doing. Being able to build fast and edit regularly keeps the training relevant. Skills need to be identified and described using natural, easily understood language. Proficiency levels need to be measurable. AI can play a role in this task. AI will help us to bridge the gaps. However, each solution needs to be rigorously evaluated. Not all businesses are equipped to go down the skills-based learning route. James explains how to get them ready. People are an asset; we need to measure their performance and learning and development ROI. BEST MOMENTS 'The ability for them to be more efficient in the work that they do is now real.' 'Go to the people that do advocate for skills…. go where there is the appetite.'

Bryanna Hanson, Learner-Centered Collaborative's Director of Learning Design, delves into her educational journey and her commitment to transforming assessment and grading practices. Bryanna's teaching career began with enthusiasm but soon encountered the constraints of conventional grading and curriculum standards. With a foundation rooted in a genuine passion for learning and an early realization of the limitations of traditional assessment methods, Bryanna's path took a transformative turn when she found herself teaching Spanish at a competency-based micro-school. This experience steered her towards a learner-centered approach that emphasizes authentic learning experiences over teaching to the test. During this episode, Bryanna and Katie discuss:

In this podcast conversation, Tiffany Caouette discusses the role and importance of play-based learning in education. Tiffany Caouette, currently working with the Connecticut Association of Schools, shares her insights on Connecticut being one of the first US states to acknowledge the significance of play-based learning through legislation. She talks about her experiences as an administrator, and her push for the inclusion of play-based learning in schools. She emphasizes the benefits of this learning approach, which not only includes improved executive functioning skills and critical thinking abilities among children, but also incorporates real-world applications into their learning process. The conversation delves into issues such as teacher autonomy, utilizing current resources, and balancing the use of electronics in classrooms.

When we teach autistic preschoolers, the way we do it can make a big difference in how they grow, feel about themselves, and whether they learn to enjoy learning or not. Strength-based learning looks at what each child is good at and what their passions or interests are, instead of just what they can't do. This is different from the old-school method that mostly points out a child's weaknesses and missing skills. Today I'll be chatting about strength based learning vs a deficit-based approach with a sprinkle of positive relationships on the top.  I'll also be giving a couple of real life examples to make it easier for you to implement.  I'll see you inside the show!

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore what has helped Josh achieve senior leadership in different sectors, what it means to make a planned and demonstrable impact as well as how HSBC is changing to a skills-based organisation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Josh has headed up L&D for several large companies including for Warner Music Group and is now VP of People Experience and Insights for HSBC. Take things back to basics and make sure everything you do boosts or at least defends revenue. If something is not working, retire it early. Don´t be afraid to call your own baby ugly. You have to talk in financial terms to be truly relevant.  Little time-saving tweaks make a huge difference. Even saving 30 seconds per day, per employee adds up to a big saving for large companies. HSBC is a skills-based organisation.  Thoroughly read the end-of-year board paper to fully understand the direction the business is heading in. Keep it super simple, if you can´t describe what you're doing to a toddler without them looking confused, don´t do it. BEST MOMENTS 'Just take a step back and ask, what is this doing for the organisation?' 'It´s taking all the stuff that we need them to do and making it frictionless.'

In a groundbreaking approach to early childhood education, Busy Bodies Play Cafe is placing a strong emphasis on creating a developmentally appropriate and resource-rich play-based setting for children aged 0 to 6. The focus is on fostering essential social, literacy, and numeracy skills through engaging and playful experiences. And, unlike traditional methods involving structured lessons and classroom-style teaching, Busy Bodies Play Cafe is championing holistic learning in a fun and interactive manner. At the heart of this innovative approach is the recognition that children, particularly in their formative years, learn best through play. Busy Bodies Play Cafe is steering away from the conventional model of education that relies heavily on rigid lesson plans and formal instruction. Instead, the goal is to provide an environment where children can thrive by immersing themselves in activities that not only capture their interest but also contribute to their overall development. The play-based setting is carefully designed to offer a dynamic and supportive atmosphere. It goes beyond the confines of a traditional classroom, creating a space where children can explore, experiment, and interact with their surroundings. Through hands-on experiences and interactive play, children are encouraged to develop crucial skills that extend beyond academic learning. Social skills take center stage in this approach, with activities designed to promote teamwork, communication, and empathy. Through group play and collaborative projects, children learn to navigate social interactions and build relationships. This early emphasis on social development sets a foundation for positive interpersonal skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Literacy and numeracy skills are seamlessly integrated into the play-based curriculum. Storytelling sessions, imaginative play, and engaging games serve as vehicles for developing language proficiency. Similarly, math concepts are introduced through interactive and age-appropriate activities, making learning a natural and enjoyable part of the play experience. One of the key advantages of this approach is its adaptability to individual learning styles. Busy Bodies Play Cafe recognizes that each child is unique, and the play-based setting allows for personalized learning experiences. Teachers act as facilitators, observing and understanding each child's strengths and areas for growth, tailoring activities to suit their developmental needs. Parents and educators alike are lauding this shift in early childhood education, where children not only learn but also love learning. The play-based approach is seen as a holistic way of nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also socially adept and creatively inclined. As the establishment pioneers this innovative model, it is anticipated that other educational institutions may explore similar approaches to early childhood learning in the future.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to spend some time with family for the holidays and now is a great time to look back at some of the earliest episodes of Diverse Thinking Different Learning. Today, we're revisiting our conversation with Dr. Daniel Franklin. What is a Language-Based Learning Disability and when should we as parents be concerned? Well, let's ask an expert! Today my guest is Dr. Daniel Franklin, the founder and clinical director of the Los Angeles based Franklin Educational Services and the author of the book Helping Your Child with Learning-Based Learning Difficulties. In today's episode my guest and I discuss how the parent-child relationship is an important component of any intervention. We also recognize the fine line between being a helicopter parent and a helpful parent and Dr. Franklin gives great advice on walking that fine line. This conversation will leave you feeling empowered and inspired.   Show Notes: [3:37] - Research shows that many children who have a reading difficulty or diagnosed specific learning disability frequently have a behavioral difference as well, like ADHD. [4:29] - Because of this overlap in learning difficulties, they are grouped under a broader umbrella of Language-Based Learning Disabilities. [6:20] - We want to remember that the human brain, especially a child's brain, is a social organ that functions best in a context of healthy, positive relationships. [7:32] - Only when a child is in a calm, regulated state can they experience meaningful learning. [9:41] - The difference between a helicopter parent and a helpful parent is that a helicopter parent provides help that is not needed. [11:04] - When we need to provide more help, that is fine, but when help is no longer needed in an area, as parents, we need to step back. [13:39] - Dr. Franklin gives some suggestions on how to help students with writing without being counterproductive. [17:05] - Dr. Franklin emphasizes the importance of identifying underlying difficulties to provide students the correct instruction and intervention. [18:04] - The hierarchy of reading support is discussed in Dr. Franklin's book and he breaks it down briefly with Dr. Wilson. [19:40] - Dr. Franklin was featured in a documentary called Unteachable by Anthony Sherin which focuses on the importance of student-teacher relationships. [22:05] - Having a strong relationship with students is important in helping them develop self-confidence and reinforce a love of learning. [24:58] - No two kids are the same. No two kids learn the same things in the same way at the same time. [28:11] - Sharing your observations with teachers is important. [30:47] - If you want to know what is going on in a child's mind, observe their body. If they are slumped over, their brain is slumped, too.   About Our Guest: Dr. Daniel Franklin is the author of Helping Your Child with Language-Based Learning Disabilities, and a co-editor of The Los Angeles Psychologist. He holds a master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a PhD from UCLA in Education. Dr. Franklin has over 30 years of experience in education as a teacher, administrator, and educational consultant.   Connect with Dr. Daniel Franklin: Franklin Educational Services ChildNEXUS Provider Profile - Dr. Daniel Franklin Dr. Franklin on Facebook Dr. Franklin on Twitter Call Dr. Franklin (310) 571-1176   Links and Resources: Helping Your Child with Language-Based Learning Disabilities by Dr. Daniel Franklin Supporting Parents of Children with Language-Based Disabilities Documentary featuring Dr. Daniel Franklin: Unteachable   Connect with Us: Get on our Email List Book a Consultation Get Support and Connect with a ChildNEXUS Provider Check out some amazing schools for incredible students Register for Our Self-Paced Mini Courses with LIVE AMA Sessions   The Diverse Thinking Different Learning podcast is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or legal advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Founder and CEO of Full Voice, Nikki Loney, is keeping us company this week with a teaching career spanning over three decades. Nikki works with music education specialists, children's composers, and musicians to create music education resources for young vocal students. She hosts her own podcast called "Full Voice" and is a member of NATS and the Speakeasy Cooperative. Nikki joins me to discuss the success of play-based learning and how we can make singing lessons fun. KEY TAKEAWAYS Play-based learning is an educational approach where children engage in activities designed for enjoyment and exploration. Through games and interactive experiences, they acquire essential skills, fostering cognitive, social, and emotional development in a natural and enjoyable way. The most important principle you need to remember when working with young students is to meet them at the level they are at. Knowledge and skills are built over time so don't over complicate things early on. What information do they need and how best will they understand it?  The concept of fun when it comes to teaching is challenging. You want to show your student and their family that you know what you're doing and you're giving valuable information that they are paying for. Making lessons and activities fun and silly seems naturally counter intuitive to this goal.  Kids love repetition. Once you have a repertoire of singing activities, you should let the student choose their favourite fun warm up because the more they enjoy it, the more they will engage and get out of the lesson as a whole. This also falls under the umbrella of student-led learning.  Student-led partnerships involve active student participation in goal-setting, repertoire selection, and feedback. Teachers guide, fostering personalised, engaging lessons that enhance motivation and student ownership of their vocal journey. BEST MOMENTS ‘Even though I had all those great teachers, being able to break that down for a student was more difficult than I thought'  ‘When you work with children, it's never about you'  ‘Make easy, easier. We tend to overcomplicate things'  ‘If you're tired or scared, your brain goes into a protective mode and they're not learning'  ‘A lot of those exercises came from the kids. I steal their ideas!'

Your job is to have an impact across those many notions.” —John Hattie, Ph.D.“We're very good at finding problems and fixing them but we're not as good—we're not having the courage—to study expertise and scale it up. And that's my mission. Scale up the expertise we have.” —John Hattie, Ph.D.“I'm an evidence-based person. Sometimes I don't like the results, but that doesn't mean you get to deny it.

Skills-based approaches to organisations, the workforce and development are gaining in prominence. This is hardly a surprise when one of the biggest problems across entire industries and economies is the growing skills gap. So a skills-based approach is aimed at meeting these problems head-on. In this episode, we explore what this all means for L&D and our stakeholders and how we get involved. KEY TAKEAWAYS A skills-based organization organises a lot of their work and talent structures around skills, rather than roles only. The idea is that focusing on skills rather than roles results in a more agile organisation. The most talented people want the chance to develop new skills and progress. Training your workforce to get the right skills mix is far less disruptive than constantly getting rid of and recruiting people. Generative AI has potential to help us to map out the skills we need and identify problems. But, remember garbage in garbage out, give it the right base data. To be effective, workplace learning has to engage both sides of the brain. You have to provide concrete examples of where that skill is applied. Skill development has to be contextual to be effective. BEST MOMENTS'It's a fundamental challenge to our beliefs.' 'Talent seeks career progress. People go places where they can go places.' 'I like to say separating roles from souls.' 'Always talk about the activity and the skill.'

Learning businesses should base their design choices on evidence-based practices. But keeping up with the latest research takes time and energy that many learning business professionals simply don't have. Luckily, people like Jane Bozarth exist to help bridge the gap between academic research and the implications for the design and delivery of learning experiences. Jane Bozarth has spent many years as a trainer, a facilitator, and an e-learning designer, and she currently serves as the director of research at the Learning Guild, where she puts out monthly reports. In this episode of the Leading Learning Podcast, Jane talks with co-host Celisa Steele about learning styles and other myths, evidence-based alternatives to popular misconceptions, the growth mindset and whether learning businesses can help alter learners' perceptions, and what artificial intelligence does well and where it falls short.

Nick Manzoni of SportsLab360 shares his vision for decision-based learning for basketball players of all learning.SportsLab360 is made up of engaging, interactive modules that focus on different tactical concepts, from the basics of reading a ball screen, to specific offenses such as the dribble drive. Coaches assign these modules as basketball homework for their players, and can track player progress and scoring, as well as input custom notes within the modules. By working through the modules before practice, players arrive with a cognitive head-start on the topic, and coaches can spend less practice time explaining, and more time practicing.
