What does it mean to be “at home”? The concept of home is more nuanced than it appears. On the one hand, we can think of home as a physical place of comfort and safety where needs for protection are met. But we can also think about home as a place where we feel listened to and where our humanity is acknowledged. Our unique definition of 'home' may change throughout our lives depending on who we meet and what experiences we have.  Join Steve and Dan Fouts – founders of Teach Different and twin brothers with over 50 years of teaching experience – along with Ari Gerzon-Kessler - author, consultant and family partnerships coordinator for Boulder Valley School District in Boulder, Colorado, as they discuss the meaning and importance of home, enriched by the Teach Different Method.  Teach Different serves educational institutions, families, corporate entities, and mental health communities.

While schools are recognized primarily as institutions of academic study and knowledge acquisition, students learn so much more there… especially when they are in the right frames of mind. This is where SEL comes in. Amy and Mike invited educator Andy Tucker to answer the common question, “What is social and emotional learning?” What are five things you will learn in this episode? What exactly does social and emotional learning (SEL) entail? Why is SEL so relevant in educational conversations? What is the educational benefit of SEL? Why is SEL important for post-secondary workforce readiness? How is SEL support delivered? MEET OUR GUESTS Andy Tucker works with state agencies and policymakers across the United States to understand the benefits of SEL for learners of all ages, including the many ways in which SEL can build supportive environments for learners to develop essential lifelong skills.  As the leader of the Collaborating States Initiative, Andy thrives in creating collaborative environments in which state leaders can learn best and promising practices from one another to support the implementation of high-quality, evidence-based SEL programming in all learning environments. Prior to joining CASEL, Andy served as the Director of Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness at the Colorado Department of Education where he led programs that supported K-12 students to prepare effectively for their future. Andy has been an educator for over 25 years with roles including secondary Spanish teacher, high school counselor, and building- and district-level administrator.  In his prior role as Director of Student Supports in Boulder Valley School District, Andy worked with all district stakeholders to implement comprehensive SEL curricula to support student success. Andy spends free time in the mountains of Colorado, camping, biking, skiing, and enjoying nature with his wife, two boys, and spoiled dog. Find Andy at atucker@casel.org.

BVSD IS ACCUSED OF RACISM BY A WHITE FAMILY HOLY COW, this story is CRAZY but not surprising at all. A white couple with a nine year old son is accusing the Boulder Valley School District of racism after their son has been continually attacked by the black daughter of a school employee. They say their son has been choked, hit and otherwise terrorized by a young girl who they also allege (with an affidavit from a teacher) has anger and violent outbursts often in the school. They also allege that the girl is continually protected by her mother, who works at the school, by alleging that other children are racist to defend her physically aggressive actions. They also say their son, who has been a victim of these attacks, was punished by being forced to move to a different class and have recess in a different playground with only one other student to play with. They also allege that the mother of the girl has been attacking their family and son on Facebook, and spreading rumors that their son is a "racist" and that other parents should watch out for him. The detail in this filing are stunning but not surprising. Is this okay, Boulder? Is it? I've got Sherri Peif on the show today at 2 to discuss. Read her article with all the details here.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up by the Colorado Sun. It’s Wednesday February 24th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you.  Today - Based on the 2020 census Colorado may get another seat in the U.S. House of Representatives - so how will that seat affect the current political landscape? Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to February 24th, 1863 when Abraham Lincoln created the new territory of Arizona including the most famous boundary spot in the United States - four corners. That’s where Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado meet. It’s the only place in the country where you can be in four states at once. Now, our feature story.  Colorado is expected to receive one more seat in the U.S. House of Representatives based on the 2020 census. But how that seat will factor into the political landscape is yet to be seen. Contributor Sandra Fish spoke with reporter Lucy Haggard about what redistricting will entail this year and why it will be a race against time. To read more about Colorado’s redistricting process, go to coloradosun.com. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: Aurora will soon have an independent monitor for its police department. Aurora’s city manager said Tuesday that the monitor is necessary to restore trust with the community, underscored by a scathing report on the police department’s actions before and after Elijah McClain’s death. Officials did not comment on any disciplinary measures for the officers or paramedics involved in the incident, citing the Colorado Attorney General’s criminal investigation into the case. https://coloradosun.com/2021/02/23/aurora-police-department-independent-monitor-elijah-mcclain/  A federal program that helps schools pay for internet service inside schools could soon help students learning from home. Nearly five years after Boulder Valley School District petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to let it help students cross the digital divide, the agency responded to a similar petition from Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office. The FCC has not decided anything yet, but districts are hoping the interest indicates a change in policy to come. https://coloradosun.com/2021/02/23/colorado-ag-e-rate-schools-broadband-digital-divide/  Xcel Energy added enough renewable sources of energy last year, particularly through wind power, to cut emissions by five percent in Colorado. The state’s largest electricity provider is set to close four of its coal-fired power plants by 2030, which will reduce emissions even further, though critics argue the company could still be doing more. The utility will release its Electricity Resource Plan on Thursday, which is expected to have new clean energy initiatives. https://coloradosun.com/2021/02/24/xcel-energy-carbon-emissions-wind-power/ For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday December 22nd, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. Today - new Colorado’s farmers are YouTube-taught, social justice-minded and preaching the gospel of microgreens. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 22nd, 1909 when officials in Colorado Springs approved an ordinance to accept a bequest from Charles E Perkins, a director of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad. He left the city 480 acres known for decades as the Garden of Gods. Now, our feature story.  The Emerald Gardens farm has a rustic, pioneering feel, which seems appropriate considering its founders, 33-year-old Dave Demerling and 32-year-old Roberto Meza, began their farming careers just a few years ago by watching YouTube videos.  Now, the passive solar greenhouse they constructed on land bought just two years ago has them on the cusp of profitability, producing a variety of microgreens, shoots of herbs and vegetables harvested in their very early development, when flavor and nutrients run high. And their approach has shined a new light on the face of the American farmer: entrepreneur guided by social justice. That was founder Dave Demerling. Though Demerling and Meza initially marketed their product primarily to fine restaurants that use them in salads and garnishes, they have broadened their outreach, preaching the virtues of microgreens for everything from delicious snacks to nutritious smoothies, all while adding to a statewide desire to bolster local food sources. They’ve also developed a fan base in some grocery stores, and soon will be delivering to the Boulder Valley School District and other institutional customers like hospitals.  As first-generation farmers, they’re also breaking new ground. High-school buddies in Canton, Ohio, they migrated to opposite coasts for college before reuniting and realizing their visions had shifted. The fulfillment they sought turned out to be rooted in agriculture. Here’s cofounder Roberto Meza talking about their motivation for what they do: Their process unfolds in a 3,000 square-foot building where passive solar design and a geothermal system that cycles air through underground tubes maintain the temperature around an optimal 75 degrees during cold weather. A swamp cooler, powered by solar panels, keeps the microgreens comfortable on hot days. Trays of plants grow on up to five levels of metal shelving, in long rows connected to water tubes that soak the jute — or another plant-based fiber — where seeds have been planted. And right now, their farming operation takes up just a small fraction of the space in the grow house. And the grow house, even with the auxiliary buildings where they prepare their products for sale, takes up just a small chunk of their 35 acres. So they’ve invited some friends — surprisingly, more old high-school buddies who also found their way to Colorado — to launch a hemp operation on the land. And they hope to encourage other ag-minded people who share their vision of more equitable food distribution to join them on the acreage.  For Meza and Demerling, people have always been a key ingredient. That’s why they regularly engage the public at farmer’s markets and food co-ops to share the gospel of fresh and local - believing that everybody should know where their food comes from.  Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: The Colorado legislature will delay its full return next year for at least a month because of the prevalence of coronavirus in the state.  Colorado prisons face a staffing crisis as scores of guards and inmates alike catch the coronavirus Two Colorado residents were placed on a list of astronauts that could soon travel to the moon. NASA Astronauts Matthew Dominick of Wheat Ridge and Jessica Watkins of Lafayette were among 18 astronauts selected to the Artemis Program. Colorado plans to ramp up messaging after avalanches kill three experienced skiers in just two days. For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

A few months ago, a few BCBA's from the Boulder Valley School District reached out to me and offered to share the story of how they are fielding a team of Behavior Analysts in the public school setting. As someone who has spent a career consulting to public schools, I was instantly sold. I believe that as if this recording, the BVSD employs about 10 BCBA's, and in Session 139, I'm joined by four of them: Kelly Miller, Cosmina Barbat, Stephanie Gregory, and Shelly Roberts. We were also fortunate enough to be joined by their fearless leader, their Director of Special Education, Joy Larson. Someone who understood the value of developing internal behavior-analytic resources to support the district's students. In this episode we cover the following: How the district decided to invest in the hiring of internally placed behavior analysts. How the district BCBA's work collaboratively with professionals in other disciplines. How BCBA's support students not just with specialized educational and behavioral needs, but also in mainstream educational settings. How working as a public school employee is different than working in an at-home or clinic setting. And advice for schools that want to hire their own BCBA's, as well as advice for BCBA's who want to dip their toes into the public school waters. Lastly, I think the argument for having more Behavior Analysts in school settings speaks for itself. As we discuss in the interview, these amazing BCBA's have contributed to reducing Boulder Valley's out of district placements by 70%! Here are the links for Session 139: The Boulder Valley School District. Just in case you're thinking of relocating. Well Managed Schools curriculum. The Mystery Motivator.

OverviewWe all know change is tough. It is tough at an individual level and even more so at an organizational level. I always enjoy talking with leaders focused on change and learning their strategies, successes and difficulties.  Today I speak with Kiffany Lychock from the Boulder Valley School District of Colorado in the United States about the changes she fostered in her district. After the passing of a bond measure that created funding, the district moved forward with implementing change in how buildings are designed and the practice of teaching is transformed.

Who gets to use what bathroom is one of the hottest topics this school year around the country. Boulder Valley School District's transgender policies were praised by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice recently. Then, why many parents choose not to vaccinate their kids, despite most public health advice saying they should. A Denver sociologist has studied families at the heart of this controversy for over a decade.

At its most basic level, science can be considered as non-political or at least politically neutral: science is dedicated to the collection of facts and interpreting them to help us understand the universe and how it works. For that reason, many people - one may even say our culture in general - places a high value in being scientifically literate. Or at least we pay lip service to that idea. But when the results of science end up contradicting and conflicting with other ideals such as religious beliefs, personal behaviors, or vested interests, then science can become very political. Perhaps the two most visible examples of this politicization of science are in the areas of climate change and evolution, where the discussion ranges from the White House and Congress to local school boards and textbooks. Our guest today has front line experience in several aspects of science and education. Dr. Paul Strode is a biology teacher in the Boulder Valley School District, and has been an instructor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado. Dr. Strode is co-author of the book: “Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails)” - also available and reviews here and here.
