Just Admit It! host Tasha (formerly at Boston University and USC) teams up with veteran IvyWise counselor Eric (formerly at Columbia University and The New School) to break down the ways that academic enrichment can strengthen a student's college admissions profile.
Join James Radburn as he is in conversation with Ayesha Allen, a Principal of an online Alternate Provision supporting students who struggle to access in-person education. With over 14 years of experience in teaching and leadership, Ayesha shares insights into how digital platforms are transforming education for vulnerable learners, including those with SEND and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). They discuss the alarming rise in children missing from school, the intersection of tech and parenting, and why teachers need to adapt to modern education needs. Tune in for a future-looking conversation on how technology is reshaping the way we educate every child.
Students who meet the criteria for developmental language disorder (DLD) are often categorized as “speech only” in the school systems. In many cases, these students qualify for special education services under the eligibility category of “speech and language impaired”, which puts speech-language pathologists who serve as case managers in a difficult position ethically. Sometimes students may qualify for services under other eligibility categories, but there's still a lack of awareness about the diagnosis; especially relating to how we serve students in schools. The impact on literacy and overall academic performance can be substantial; not to mention life outcomes outside of school. Unlike other diagnoses that have other pathways to diagnosis in the early years, signs of DLD are often not identified until students start school. Therefore, DLD is an essential part of conversations surrounding literacy (even though it can impact way more than just reading). That's why I invited Dr. Karla McGregor to episode 181 of De Facto Leaders to talk about DLD as part of the National Literacy Month RIF series. Dr. Karla K. McGregor, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is a Senior Scientist at Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha, NE, USA, where she also serves as the Senior Director of the Center for Childhood Deafness, Language and Learning. She is a Professor Emerita at the University of Iowa and a founding member and Chair of DLDandMe.org. Dr. McGregor's scholarly work on developmental language disorder is funded by the National Institutes of Health and she has also benefited from the support of the National Science Foundation and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She is the former Editor for the Journal of Speech-Language-Hearing Research. Her awards include Honors of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Kawana Award for Lifetime Achievement in Publishing. She has been fortunate to mentor 12 doctoral students, six post-doctoral scholars, and numerous early-career scientists.This episode is part of the National Literacy Month series of podcasts, presented in partnership between the Be Podcast Network and Reading Is Fundamental (RIF).In this episode, we discuss:✅Developmental language disorder: Characteristics and overlaps with conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and auditory processing disorder.✅School teams are “permitted” to use the term “DLD” in the schools. What does that mean in practice?✅How language disorders impact important life skills such as the driver's test or understanding your Miranda rights. ✅Universal screeners: Reading screeners are an opportunity to identify DLD, but will they catch every child who needs services?

My guest today is Donna, from East Sussex in the UK. Donna has two daughters, who are 13 and 11. Her eldest daughter had always struggled with school, and it wasn't until Covid that Donna realised just how deep the school stress was embedded in the whole family. Eventually feeling that there was no alternative but to try something different, she took her daughter out of school. Today Donna talks about how easy it is to get blinkered and stuck in that space of stress and deficit. And, about how liberating it has been for both of them to shift into a new place of possibility, trust and curiosity.

n this episode of the Disrupt Education podcast, hosts Alli Privitt and Peter Hostrawser welcome back guest Malcolm Crawford. They reflect on their journey, noting how the Malcolm's Tha Storm podcast evolved from its beginnings as a hip-hop focused show to one centered around anime and pop culture. Malcolm emphasizes the value of embracing failure as a learning experience, highlighting how failures have guided their podcast's growth and pivots. The discussion also touches on the limitations of traditional education, with Malcolm sharing his perspective on the importance of offering students more variety and experiential learning opportunities. He suggests that students should have the chance to explore different paths and industries, enabling them to discover their interests and strengths. The conversation showcases Malcolm's deep reflection on his own journey and his belief in the power of trying new things to find one's true path.

With a school system that bases success purely on grades, our children are exposed to comparison culture from a scarily young age. It's no surprise then that 92% of children are afraid of the f-word, failure.So how can we empower our children to become confident individuals with a sense of self-worth beyond their school grades? That's the question that we're asking award winning coach, Natalie Costa, who helps children to flourish both at home and in the classroom.We talk to Natalie about navigating parenthood when a lot of parents today feel unequipped themselves, how we can promote a growth mindset in our children, and how we can work alongside our children to learn to recognise our behaviour patterns and regulate our emotions.This episode is an absolute gem whether you have children, you're thinking about them or you want to better understand the small people in your life.

We learn what life is all about when we get out into the world and really experience it. Some of life's really important lessons come from experience. Our guests today have gathered those lessons in their books and share insight with us today on Thriving Entrepreneur. Listen in with Steve, Mathias, Elise and Stephen and hear how their experiences and life lessons can help you navigate life changing, beyond school learning!
My guest today is Eliza Fricker. Eliza has a 14-year old daughter who is autistic, PDA, and who struggled hugely with school. Eliza spent many years attempting to navigate the education system and advocate for her daughter, but after much frustration and despair, finally decided that leaving mainstream education was the only option. Eliza has published a book called Missing the Mark, in which, through her illustrations, she shows her process of trying to navigate a confusing, system which often fails to embrace neurodivergent children for who they are, focusing instead on the fixing of the child. She has also published The Family Experience of PDA, and a four-part podcast on her family's experiences, and now works to help families who are in a similar position. Today, Eliza shares how life has looked since her daughter left school, and how they embarked on the slow process of healing. Among other things, we chat about the enormous importance of being in the right environment, and how our own deschooling is key to accepting our children just as they are. And, we dream a little about how effective, inclusive learning environments could actually look. I hope you enjoy the conversation. If you'd like to find out more about Eliza or connect with her, you can find her at https://missingthemark.blog/

#004 - Welcome to Open Doors at St Lawrence College, the podcast that sheds light on all facets of life within and surrounding UK independent boarding schools by connecting with staff, pupils and parents of St Lawrence College, an independent, co-educational, boarding & day school situated in South-East England. Each week we'll be interviewing people within the community, asking questions and spending time to understand more. In this episode, we speak to two of the school's alumni, both of whom are now living in the Far East. Ricky in Hong Kong, and CT in Malaysia reminisce on their lives at St Lawrence College having both left the school back in 1980. They discuss their fondest memories, how their time at St Lawrence helped to enhance their careers after leaving school, and we find out more about school reunions and the importance of reconnecting with school friends. But we also find out what school lunches were like back in the 70s and I'm glad to say that things in UK boarding schools have definitely moved on since those days! So let's step into this conversation so you can hear from Ricky and CT.

Lea Jovy-Ford is one of the cofounders and COO of online learning programme Beyond School. She’s an ex management consultant, qualified NLP Practitioner, former personal trainer and holistic health coach and pioneer of the digital nomad movement. She has a blended, multi-racial family with 4 children – 2 sons and 2 daughters – and her wife Becky. All four are home educated. I invited her on because I'm worried I may have scarred my kids for life attempting to home school them and wanted some advice to recapture the love of family learning. But I got so much more than just this! We cover a lot of ground: the importance of interests, why we need to be more flexible about learning, 'yes' days, how sex (everyday for her!) can help boost creativity, how you get your kids to help in the house, money..... This is definitely a woman leading a rich life in many regards who actively manages her mojo.

Jenn Sutherland and Beyond School I am joined by Jenn Sutherland, worldschooling mom, entrepreneur and CEO of Beyond School. In addition to homeschooling her own four children, from birth to university entrance while traveling the world, full time, for over a decade, Jenn has a degree in education and over 20 years experience in helping families build world class educations for their children outside the four walls of a classroom. Now the CEO of Beyond School, she's focused on building a school of the future for families of the future and creating a third path in education, acknowledging that learning is happening everywhere. What You'll Find In This Episode In this episode Jenn and I explore the meaning of why learning is not an occurrence that happens only in school, within a certain timeframe of life. We talk about why and how learning is happening everywhere and learning is happening always. And why it is up to us as parents to shift our perspective on how and where learning can happen and let go of the fact that we have to control and measure every form of learning. This conversation included; Living A Life Of Adventure & Worldschooling Living a life of adventure and worldschooling- How her family went from a year of travel in 2008 to a life of travel and why it was the best decision they ever made The crash of 2008 and losing it all while on the road- How tragedy can be a catalyst to step back and re-evaluate what you really want out of life Travel full time? What Jenn and her husband did to be able to travel full time and recreate their careers. Learning & Homeschooling Learning and homeschooling-Does having credentials make you a better homeschooler or is it a liability? Prioritizing needs, wants and dreams. What is the difference between needs and wants? Who do you want to be in 1 year, 5 years? How do we make that happen for you? The most valuable things to teach in homeschooling "Everything I thought I knew about education from a classroom perspective had almost no bearing on getting the job done at home."-What Jenn had to learn to let go of in homeschooling Deschooling- unlearning and then re-learning Shifts in in beliefs and perspectives The Joy Of Teens The shift in our view of teens that needs to happen in our world Teenagers- why we need to start saying YES to their dreams Trust, failure and raising capable children to become capable adults School Of The Future- Beyond School The ways that COVID has shifted education and perspectives in education School of the future, Third Path education- why Beyond School began Child centred, learner centred and unique to each individual How Beyond School is cradle to grave learning over a lifetime, supporting young kids to adults "Homeschooling is not about teaching your children from a top down management perspective. It's about Celebrating the fact that learning is happening everywhere, learning is happening always and we are in it together. Everybody at a different stage."

Forget the kids (for a moment), and all they are going through. We've overlooked something that vitally needs addressing. Parents are grieving the loss of a dream they had... That by sending their kids on the yellow bus to school, just like they went themselves, many years ago... Their kids were being well looked after. This grief needs processing, in order to move forward, fully. Today my guest and good friend Jennifer Sutherland explore that topic and a whole lot more. Somehow, she homeschooled her own four children, quite successfully, from birth to university entrance while traveling the world, full time, for over a decade. Yeah they did some crazy things, some of which we’ll get into today. Jennifer also has a degree in education and has worked with hundreds of families as a consultant and educational coach.

She’s now the CEO – Chief ‘Evangelist’ Officer and Chief Education Officer– of Beyond School, an experience she describes as a path between school and homeschooling, that enables parents to create a more conscious and intentional education for their children. This is by far my favourite episode on this show. If you need help in figuring out the right learning path for you and your family, or are simply curious about what might be possible, this episode is for you.
Back to School in 2020. Educators have major new challenges ahead in the middle of a deadly pandemic - students who are fearful of going to school, parents who dread sending their children to school, and teachers who are anxious about returning to the classroom.

|Introductions| Clay Burell joined David and Jeff all sharing their Chinese New Year experiences from Korea, Taiwan and China. Intro for Clay: Clay has taught language arts in the U.S., Europe, China and now Korea. He works to take "schooliness" out of his students' learning experiences. A big part of his effort is to help his students build personal learning networks (PLN). He is now running an elective PLN focused elective course so look to follow his students' learning via Clay's Beyond-School blog. |Essential Question| Passion for learning, how to nurture and grow it? David: See his blog where he shares about his son's passion for learning and what contributes to it. Jeff: Finding passion in our students Learning needs to have meaning Learning needs to be authentic Learning needs to be deep The SOS Team Discussion: How to give credit for the engaging work that students want to do outside out of class? How to substitute the learning the kids are doing on their own for the prescribed classwork? Student 2.0 writing blog that Clay initiated and continues to draw readers. Here is an excellent example of passionate learners working outside of the classroom. Success for Clay in creating authentic learning where passionate learning takes place: A student interviewed Clay as a minority person living in Korea. It was recorded for a podcast. It ended up being newsworthy and drew the community in to access the student's blog and continue the discussion. Barriers for Clay in helping his school make the shift: Students in our high schools are often so trained in a ways that get in the way of thinking laterally and making connections that we have to "unteach" them. To create their own projects and follow their own ideas doesn't come easy. "Give me something I can do quickly and get out of the way" is often the way our high school students operate. They often are not willing to take risks. Conclusion: We really need to start in the elementary to build a learning environment that doesn't take the passion away. Clay's PLN class involves each student completing a project of personal interest that they research and then blog/podcast/vodcast about weekly. They connect to Twitter to build out their network finding people who can help them with their research. Clay finds this process to really support his hope that his students will become networked learners. Take Away from the discussion: One approach to shift a school is for your instructional technologist to start the year working with early adopters the first third of the year and to then move to the middle range adopters the next third of the year and to focus on the laggard group at end of the year. It is imperative to have the instructional technologists work with groups of teachers during the school day to get buy in from the teachers. After school doesn't work due to scheduling problems. Think about bringing in subs for a whole day. This really validates the process. Get the technical lessons (e.g., how to run a blog, use Skype, etc.) in first to remove those barriers. You can them focus on the curriculum and adapting the instruction and assessments to meet 21st century learning goals. Teachers looking to start blogging should think about using them as their portfolios and as a way to communicate to parents and to share classroom content with students. This is a triple winner that gives teachers a real reason for using the tool. We want our students to be like trapeze artists following the flow of information moving from say Twitter to Skype then to IM then to producing one's learning on a blog from where the conversation continues as readers comment. Go to deeper level with our curriculum. The learning must be authentic and relevant. The kids demand it. |Blog Posts of the Week| Clay: Networked learning can be playful and fun at Ideas and Thoughts. David: A home schooler shares her blueprint for passionate learning at Karen's Blog. Jeff: Look for rich visuals and brain-research supported posts as well as the "User Hierarchy of Needs" at Creating Passionate Users. |Sign Off| Next show is Thursday February 21st. Catch it live at 7:00 PM Shanghai time. Our guest will be Justin Hardman from the Hong Kong International School. Check out his Blueprint: New World, New School blog.

Show Notes |Introductions| Justin Medved and Kim Cofino joined David and Jeff in welcoming our featured guest Julie Lindsay. Kim could only stay a short moment but will join us again in future shows. Intro for Julie: Co-creator of Flat Classroom and Horizon telecollaborative learning projects. Julie and Vicki Davis wrote a Learning and Leading with Technology article on the topic. Access at ISTE but you will need membership to download the article. |Essential Question| How does making connections affect learning? Jeff: Learn from anyone anywhere MIT opencourseware Yale opencourseware iTunes unverisity Authentic audiences are created Students understand the power of connections in their social lives we need to teach them how to use those same connections for learning. George Siemen's Didactics of Microlearning I find informal publishing in blogs and online articles more rewarding than traditional publishing processes. The feedback on what I write informally is more immediate and, as a result, plays a greater role in the subsequent formation of ideas. Writing a journal article, book, or book chapter, is concerned with presenting what one knows. Writing in informal spaces (such as a blog) is concerned with inviting others to join in an exploration of understanding a phenomenon not yet fully known. Learning is about connections. Connecting new ideas to what is already known or thought to be known. In a connected world we take that one step further and connect those new ideas to what other know and create new knowledge from it. David: See his blog post The SOS Team Discussion: Julie shared explained how the Flat Classroom Project is based upon Thomas Friedman’s book The World is Flat. You can access the wiki classroom for more information. She also spoke about the Horizon project from this past year and how it will continue next year. For more information, access the Horizon Project wiki. We then spoke about the type of learning skills that come from students networking using digital learning collaboration tools. Check out Julie’s excellent post on global digital citizenship. Justin shared 3 guiding questions developed at ISB based on the new literacy skills our students need. They are working at integrating these guiding questions across their curriculum. Our students will not just be citizens of their localities but will be participants in broader communities connected digitally. The questions are: How do I find and use information to construct meaning and solve problems? How do I effectively communicate? How do I responsibly use information and communication to positively contribute to my world? For more information on this new literacy and curriculum integration, check out their Google Doc and wiki. The question was raised about how we can deal with the ever changing world of new technologies and improvements to current tools that might lead our schools to switch from current online providers (i.e., blogs, wikis, etc.) to new ones. This will further be discussed in a later show when we focus on school portals and connecting to the community. Take Away from the discussion: Part of shifting our instruction is realizing that teachers can be supported to learn how to use the the tools yet the real work is learning how to use the tools to create learning moments. The 21st century skills that students need for communication, constant learning and creativity in our networked world obviously can only be developed if we design and implement learning opportunities where we use the technology that is becoming an increasing part of the business and everyday aspects of our world. These collaborative learning projects need to be scaffolded with clear communication of responsibilities along with rubrics to outline what is expected when students generate learning objects. It is very important to have someone on staff in our schools who is staying on top of emerging technologies. While some schools are looking to what 21st century skills their students will need and have revamped their mission and student learning outcomes, our school stakeholders need to review their mission statements to see if they are looking forward to prepare students properly. By using the UbD curriculum review process, we can then work to shift our instruction, learning content, and assessments to help our students reach the learning outcomes documented by our updated and relevant mission statements. |Blog Posts of the Week| Jeff: George Siemen's post on Shifting Knowledge David: George Siemen's post on Connectivism vs Constructivism Julie: Jabiz Raisdana's post on Blogging & Connections Justin: Kim Cofino's post on Telecollaborative Tools |Sign Off| Next show is Thursday February 7th.
