Have you ever had someone believe in you before you fully believed in yourself?For me, that person was my mentor, Susan.I first discovered Susan on Clubhouse while I was building Social Curator and trying to figure out the world of SaaS. After months of listening to her advice, I finally worked up the courage to ask her a question—and what she shared helped me raise $555,000 in less than an hour.But the money isn't what changed my life. Her belief in me did.In this episode, I'm sharing the business lessons Susan taught me about focusing on the plan instead of constantly reacting to problems, deciding what to keep, delegate, or let go, and why diluted focus creates diluted results.And then? EXECUTE.Because ideas and strategies are great, but they don't change a business until we act on them.This episode is also much more personal. I share what happened when Susan unexpectedly entered palliative care and the incredible gift of getting to tell her—in person—how profoundly her mentorship changed my life.Friend, this episode is about business, but it's also about something bigger: Tell people what they mean to you. Use what they taught you. And pass it forward.Click play to hear the lessons from one of the greatest mentors I've ever had—and why I believe her impact doesn't stop with me.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Why having someone believe in you can completely change your trajectory[00:56] How I accidentally found the mentor who would transform my business[01:48] How one piece of Susan's advice helped me raise $555,000 in under an hour[03:22] Why founders need to give themselves credit for what's already working[05:20] How to stop reacting to problems and build around your 12-month plan[06:29] How to decide what to keep, delegate, or completely let go[07:14] Why execution matters more than another great idea or strategy[32:05] Why I finally told my mentor exactly what her belief in me meantListen to Related Episodes:Strategies that Have Transformed My Business with (My Coach) Susan SierotaEavesdrop on a Private Call with Me and My Business MentorBusiness Questions Answered: Roundtable Discussion with Brilliant and Successful Women

Send us Fan MailIn his 2021 bestseller The Book of Trespass, Nick Hayes helped us jump the walls that keep us from the vast majority of the English countryside  —exposing the way in which centuries of enclosure laws have walled off our land and rivers. The book brought new energy to the Right to Roam movement with its central challenge; to view the British landscape not merely as a set of postcard views, but as a living site of historical struggle, exclusion and democratic potential.Now, in The Medicine Tree: Repairing the Rotten Roots of England, Nick turns his focus from who owns the land to what that system of ownership has done to us collectively. Tracing the  connection between ecological destruction, private capital, and often-ignored colonial crimes, he sets out a vision for healing both soil and society. Refusing nostalgia, The Medicine Tree asks how we might mend an island poisoned by disavowal and division—inviting us to dismantle the boundaries, both physical and imagined, that keep us from a sense of belonging.PRAISE FOR THE BOOK OF TRESSPASS'Brilliant, passionate and political . . . The Book of Trespass will make you see landscapes differently' Robert Macfarlane'A remarkable and truly radical work, loaded with resonant truths' George MonbiotPRAISE FOR THE MEDICINE TREEThis book elegantly weaves between a diaristic account of nine months moored on the Thames and a sprawling, granular and global history of the politics and spirituality of land. Both Nick's accounts of the past and the contemporary are shot through with righteous anger but countered by his tender, visceral descriptions of the body within nature that makes the reader ache to swim naked and walk barefoot in the dew. Every chapter, based on the months from September to May, demonstrates Haye's profound attachment to community, and are a clarion call for the vital rediscovery, or invention, of an Albion kinship of the land and the rivers.-Leah GordonDazzling in scope, effervescing with insights, richly illustrated, lyrically written and fired by a yearning to remake England anew. Hayes has delved deep into our buried radical history and forgotten folklore and unearthed a treasure trove.Guy Shrubsole@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

Welcome to Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show for coaches, consultants, and experts who want to turn conversations into clients. I'm your host, Karen Roberts, and today we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes people make with podcast guesting. They celebrate getting booked. Five podcasts this month. 50 this year. A guest spot on a huge show. Brilliant. Then what? Because getting booked on a podcast isn't a business strategy. It's an appointment in your calendar. The real opportunity is what happens when you stop collecting podcast appearances and start building relationships with the people behind them.

Schools are constantly trying to improve, but too often, big improvement efforts don't lead to the changes people hoped for. In this episode, I talk with Jal Mehta and Max Yurkofsky, authors of A Chance to Solve Their Own Problems, about what gets in the way of meaningful school improvement, what needs to be in place for it to work, and how leaders can create the conditions that allow educators to solve problems together.

This week we will spend time in simple, quiet worship. Let's simply focus on God and His goodness. Breathe deep and allow your spirit to connect to His Holy Spirit.Psalm 29 from The Message — A Psalm of David “Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, “Encore!”In awe before the glory, in awe before God's visible power.Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him!God thunders across the waters,Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness—God, across the flood waters.God's thunder tympanic, God's thunder symphonic.God's thunder smashes cedars, God topples the northern cedars.The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, The high ridges jump like wild kid goats.God's thunder spits fire.God thunders, the wilderness quakes; He makes the desert of Kadesh shake.God's thunder sets the oak trees dancing A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches.We fall to our knees—we call out, “Glory!”Above the floodwaters is God's throne from which his power flows, from which he rules the world. God makes his people strong. God gives his people peace.What words, what phrases stood out to you?What games of God moved your spirit to worship?Listen once again to the final verses:We fall to our knees—we call out, “Glory!”Above the floodwaters is God's throne from which his power flows, from which he rules the world. God makes his people strong. God gives his people peace.”As you walk through hardships and the challenges of your life, remember that Your God is the God of the thunder, of the rain, and of glory and power. He has you. He holds you. To make you strong. To give you peace.Let's pray: “Father, I realize Your power. I recognize Your glory. Today, in this quiet moment, I worship You. Thank You for Your strong arm that protects my life. Thank You for Your gentle Spirit to give me peace. As above, so below.” - Amen

Kate shares her journey from Family Office Chief of Staff to trained Close Protection operative to industry-changing entrepreneur, revealing the "Four Pillars of Secure Lifestyle®" (Physical, Digital, Reputational and Emotional security) and why she believes security should be seen not as a fear-based reaction, but as a long-term investment in resilience.

In the cosmos of a world of jewelry, subjects are as various and diverse as the galaxies that gravitate together in the jewelry planetary system that GemGeneve has built. GemGeneve, which has become a cultural event, offers to their exhibitors and visitors a wide range of topics. around jewelry and provide their knowledge on current affairs. I've joined them all together in one universe, the seventh season of the Jevollerie's theme podcast, Il était une fois le bijou. In this episode, I'll be exploring a new nebula, diamond beyond the brilliant cut. So I welcome... I come Avnish Shah from Glittering Gems. And Rajanish Sutariya from Great Diam.In this episode, Avnish Shah and Rajanish Sutariya explore the fascinating world of diamonds beyond the traditional brilliant cut, showcasing dozens of unusual shapes, colours and historical cuts. They explain how today's customers increasingly seek unique, non-repeatable stones that give jewellery a distinctive character and personal story.The conversation explores historical cuts such as table cuts, rose cuts and old mine cuts, explaining how they were created before electricity and modern machinery. Recreating these cuts today can actually be more challenging, as modern equipment requires highly skilled craftsmanship to preserve the charm and character of antique diamonds.The guests also discuss the growing revival of historical cuts in contemporary jewellery. Designers use these stones in innovative ways, including around or over coloured gemstones and even in exceptional watch designs. Because genuine antique stones are rare, specialists are increasingly recreating historical styles while clearly distinguishing newly cut stones from authentic antique ones.Another key theme is craftsmanship. The speakers emphasize that exceptional diamonds cannot be treated like mass-produced products. They require time, experimentation, collaboration and sometimes failure. Dealers, cutters, designers and jewellers all contribute to the final creation, although the work of diamond cutters and dealers often remains behind the scenes.Since these unusual diamonds do not follow a standardized price list like the Rapaport system for brilliant cuts, their value depends on rarity, craftsmanship, individuality and the appreciation of the buyer. Ultimately, the discussion celebrates creativity, patience and the preservation of knowledge, while highlighting how unique diamonds can become physical memories and family legacies passed from one generation to another.Thank you for listening to this podcast episode.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Shawn Vanderhoven, author of Pause: How to Lead Brilliant Work in a Busy World, to uncover why constantly grinding might actually be sabotaging your success. In a culture that glorifies non-stop hustle, high performers are quietly burning out while their best ideas slip away. What if the secret to breakthrough leadership, sharp focus, and peak creativity isn't pushing harder, but strategic pausing? Shawn reveals how intentional breaks act as a catalyst for brilliant work, offering actionable strategies to transform constant busyness into intentional impact. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the relentless pace of modern work, this conversation will completely shift how you approach productivity, leadership, and daily life.

Few people have changed the way we understand the physical world as dramatically as Isaac Newton. But behind the famous story of gravity, motion, and mathematics was a complicated and intensely driven man whose interests stretched far beyond what we would call science today. In this episode of HIStory Through the Eyes of Faith, we begin with Newton himself—his childhood, education, personality, relationships, and the often solitary life that helped shape both his strengths and his struggles. Brilliant, competitive, deeply private, and endlessly curious, Newton devoted himself to understanding the world around him with an intensity that could become almost consuming. Then we turn to the discoveries that made him one of the most important figures of the Scientific Revolution. With special commentary and insight from Dr. Tim Farris, we explore Newton's work on motion and gravity, his experiments with light and optics, his development of new mathematical tools, and the remarkable synthesis that allowed him to describe both falling objects on Earth and the movement of the heavens with the same physical laws. But Newton did not see his investigation of nature as separate from his interest in God. He wrote extensively about theology and Scripture and believed that the order of creation pointed beyond itself to a Creator. For Newton, studying the universe was not simply a matter of discovering how things worked—it was an attempt to understand the remarkable order woven into the world. Join us as we meet the man behind the equations and consider how Newton's discoveries helped transform our understanding of creation, leaving a scientific legacy that still shapes the way we see the universe today.

Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture. 4th ed. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1986. Essential. This is the backbone source for early Christian basilicas, liturgical space, urban context, and the development of Christian architecture after Constantine. Krautheimer is especially useful for not treating churches as isolated floor plans, but as part of city, ritual, bishop, patronage, and memory.Krautheimer, Richard. Rome: Profile of a City, 312–1308. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1980. Very useful for Rome as a layered city: imperial remains, Christian churches, papal authority, public space, and the transformation of Roman urban memory.Krautheimer, Richard, Wolfgang Frankl, and Spencer Corbett. Corpus Basilicarum Christianarum Romae: The Early Christian Basilicas of Rome. 5 vols. Vatican City: Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana, 1937–1977. Heavy academic reference work. Best for the Lateran, Old Saint Peter's, early Roman churches, plans, architectural evidence, and dating.Mathews, Thomas F. The Early Churches of Constantinople: Architecture and Liturgy.

Imperial Rome and Christian Triumph: The Art of the Roman Empire AD 100–450. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998. Excellent for the transformation from Roman imperial art and space into Christian visual culture and triumphal imagery. Elsner's work is especially useful for your “empire becomes the bones of the church” angle.Constantine, Legal Shift, and Imperial PatronageEusebius. Life of Constantine. Translated by Averil Cameron and Stuart G. Hall. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1999. Primary source. Use carefully because it is highly pro-Constantine and partly panegyric, but it is essential for Constantine's Christian image, patronage, and sacred building projects. Eusebius is one of the key ancient witnesses for Constantine's role in Christian imperial memory.Eusebius. Ecclesiastical History. Translated by Kirsopp Lake. Loeb Classical Library. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1926–1932. Useful background for the pre-Constantinian church, persecution memory, martyr tradition, and Christian self-understanding before public imperial patronage.Barnes, Timothy D.

B. “The Shrine of St. Peter's and Its Twelve Spiral Columns.” Journal of Roman Studies 42, no. 1–2 (1952): 21–33. Very useful for Old Saint Peter's, reused columns, Solomonic column traditions, and apostolic memory. The tradition of reused marble columns at Old Saint Peter's directly supports your spolia-and-memory section.Krautheimer, Richard. “Mensa-Coemeterium-Martyrium.” Cahiers Archéologiques 11 (1960): 15–40. Important for tomb, altar, martyr memory, and architectural development.Wilken, Robert Louis.

Interpreting Spolia.” In The Art of Interpreting, edited by Susan C. Scott, 52–67. University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1995. Great for your nuance: spolia is not always theft, not always theology, not always conquest. It can be practical, symbolic, aesthetic, political, or all of those at once.Brilliant, Richard, and Dale Kinney, eds. Reuse Value: Spolia and Appropriation in Art and Architecture from Constantine to Sherrie Levine. Farnham: Ashgate, 2011. Excellent broader collection on reuse, appropriation, memory, and architectural meaning.Hansen, Maria Fabricius. The Eloquence of Appropriation: Prolegomena to an Understanding of Spolia in Early Christian Rome. Rome: L'Erma di Bretschneider, 2003. Very relevant to your point that reused materials could create a meaningful Christian aesthetic, not just a cheap construction solution.Brenk, Beat. “Spolia from Constantine to Charlemagne: Aesthetics versus Ideology.” Dumbarton Oaks Papers 41 (1987): 103–109. Very useful for the practical-versus-symbolic debate.Greenhalgh, Michael.

Why That Uncomfortable Feeling Might Be Trying To Tell You Something Ever had that strange "oof… something doesn't feel right" feeling? Not necessarily panic or major anxiety, just an uncomfortable feeling that seems to arrive from nowhere. I've been noticing more of these feelings while sitting with my puzzle book, asking questions and exploring my own search for a new direction. And I've started wondering whether these feelings are actually signals from the unconscious mind, rather than something we should simply push away. The usual response is to ignore it, distract ourselves or try to make the feeling disappear. But what if there's something useful underneath it? What if that uncomfortable feeling is trying to tell us something? In this FMQ, I explore unconscious communication, anxiety, emotional signals, intuition, decision making and personal change, and sow the seed for a deeper look at how we can work with these feelings rather than fighting them. The longer episode will take this further and explore how we might understand what our unconscious mind is really trying to communicate. And, as always, this is part of my own ongoing exploration of finding my direction and creating a more meaningful life. I'm sharing what I discover as I go, because maybe what I'm learning can help you with your own journey. Don't push. Pause. Listen. If this resonates, subscribe or follow the podcast so you don't miss the deeper dive.

成年人也需要“小红花”吗？最近，美国社交媒体上出现了一个很有意思的说法：Gold Star Behavior。到底什么事情值得一颗“小红花”呢？我们今天就来聊一聊。01. Gold Star Behavior 到底是什么意思？最近，美国网友开始流行给自己发“小红花”，而且奖励的并不是什么了不起的大事。比如，going to bed before midnight (在午夜前睡觉)，是Gold Star Behavior。Replying to a text instead of overthinking it for three days (终于回复了一条消息，而不是纠结三天)，也是Gold Star Behavior。甚至，finally eating the vegetables sitting in your fridge for a week (终于把在冰箱里放了一周的蔬菜吃掉)，也值得一颗小红花。还有人说，自己因为太累，leaving a party early (提前离开聚会)，也是 Gold Star！听起来有点好笑，因为这些其实都是成年人生活中很普通的小事。可现在，人们会故意把这些事情说得像完成了一项了不起的成就，这就是Gold Star Behavior——“值得一颗金星的行为”。这种表达带着一点self-deprecating humor (自我调侃式幽默)：我知道自己做的事情其实很普通，但我还是要表扬一下自己。I'm proud of myself for doing the bare minimum.“我居然把最基本该做的事情都做了，真为自己骄傲。”这里的the bare minimum，就是“最低限度、最基本该做的事情”。小时候，我们可能经常听到别人说“Good job!”，但长大以后，好像很少有人再对我们说“干得不错”。所以，有时候就只能自己给自己发一颗小红花：Gold star for me!“给自己一颗小红花！”02. Gold Stars 从小就陪着美国孩子长大为什么美国人会用Gold Star (金星) 来表扬自己呢？其实，这和很多美国人的童年经历有关。在美国学校里，老师以前经常会用金星贴纸来奖励孩子，比如完成作业、表现好，或者在课堂上积极参与。它代表的是reward (奖励)、praise (表扬) 和encouragement (鼓励)。比如老师可能会说：You finished your homework? Gold star!“你完成作业啦？奖励一颗小红星！”或者：Great job! Here's a gold star.“干得漂亮！给你一颗金星。”所以，对很多美国人来说，gold star 是一种从小就很熟悉的奖励方式。而长大以后，人们把这种童年的表达方式拿回来，用在成年人身上，就变得特别有趣：明明只是完成了一件很普通的小事，却一本正经地告诉自己：Hey, I did a pretty good job today.“嘿，我今天表现得还不错。”于是，一颗小时候代表表扬和鼓励的金星，就变成了成年人给自己的小小肯定。03. Participation Trophy 美国人的另一种“奖励文化”说到Gold Star，还有一个美国人比较熟悉的表达——participation trophy (参与奖)。Participation是“参与”，trophy是“奖杯”，所以participation trophy 就是“参与奖”。在一些比赛或活动中，孩子们即使没有赢得比赛，只要参加了，也可能得到一个奖杯。于是就有了这样一种说法：You don't have to win. You just have to participate.“你不一定要赢，只要参与就有奖励。”当然，这种做法也一直存在不同的看法。有人认为，给孩子参与奖是一种encouragement (鼓励)；也有人觉得，孩子也应该学会接受失败，因为生活中并不是每一次努力都会赢。所以，participation trophy 有时候也会被拿来开玩笑，甚至带一点sarcasm (讽刺、调侃)。比如有人会说：Do you want a participation trophy?“你是不是还想要一个参与奖？”而Gold Star Behavior 的感觉就不太一样。它更多是一种轻松的自我调侃：事情虽然小，但我做到了，I'm giving myself some credit.——“我也要肯定一下自己。”04. Treat Yourself 辛苦了，奖励一下自己除了给自己发一颗Gold Star，美国人还有一个很常见的说法：Treat yourself。Treat yourself 就是“犒劳一下自己、奖励一下自己”。比如：I worked really hard this week. I'm going to treat myself.“我这周真的很辛苦，我要奖励一下自己。”而这种奖励不一定非要花很多钱。可以吃一份甜点、看一场电影、泡个澡，甚至什么都不做，好好休息一下。你也可以说：I've done really well today. I deserve a little reward.“我今天表现得很好，我值得一点小奖励。”所以，Gold Star Behavior 和Treat Yourself 都是在肯定自己，只是侧重点不一样：前者更像是“表扬一下自己”，后者则是“奖励一下自己”。05. Self-Care 照顾自己和奖励自己一样吗？说到Treat Yourself，可能有人会想到另一个现在很常见的词：Self-Care (自我照顾)。它们确实有点像，但并不完全一样。Self-Care 更强调照顾自己的身体和心理状态，比如好好睡觉、运动、休息，或者给自己留一点个人时间。而Gold Star Behavior 更像是在表扬自己。比如：I finally cleaned out my fridge. Gold star behavior.“我终于把冰箱清理干净了，值得一颗小红花。”这件事本身不一定是在进行 self-care，而更像是：我终于把这件小事完成了，值得表扬一下自己。所以可以简单理解为：Self-Care = 照顾自己Gold Star Behavior = 表扬自己Treat Yourself = 犒劳自己有时候，我们也不需要等到完成什么了不起的事情，才允许自己休息或者开心。You don't always have to earn rest or happiness.“你不一定非要‘做得够好'，才配得上休息和快乐。”06. Good Job! 美国人到底怎么夸人？说到表扬别人，美国人有很多很直接的表达。Good job! (干得不错！)Amazing! (太棒了！)Awesome! (太厉害了！)还有一个很常见的说法：You nailed it!这里的nail 本来是“钉子、钉住”的意思，但nail it 可不是“把它钉住”，而是指“做得非常成功、完成得特别好”。而Gold Star Behavior 有意思的地方就在于，它把这种表扬变成self-validation (自我肯定)。也就是说，我们不一定非要等别人来夸自己。You can give yourself some credit, too.“你也可以肯定一下自己的努力。”这里的give yourself credit，就是“认可、肯定自己”。比如：I didn't finish everything, but I did a pretty good job today. I should give myself some credit.“我虽然没有把所有事情都做完，但我今天已经做得不错了。我应该肯定一下自己。”07. Not Bad 英国人夸人，为什么听起来这么淡定？说完美国人直接的Good job!，我们再来看看英国人怎么夸人。英国人常见的表达有：Brilliant! (太棒了！)Well done! (做得好！)Good on you! (干得漂亮！)You're a star! (你真棒！)不过，有一个很有意思的表达是：Not bad. (还不错。)如果按照字面理解，Not bad 好像只是“还不坏”，听起来很普通。但在英国英语里，它有时候其实是在表达比较明显的赞赏，只是说得比较克制。这种表达方式叫understatement (含蓄表达、低调表达)。所以，同样是在夸人，美国人可能会说：Amazing! That's incredible!英国人却可能只是淡淡地来一句：Not bad.可以说，表达的开心程度差不多，但“音量”完全不一样。08. Why Is Gold Star Behavior So Relatable? 为什么这个梗这么有共鸣？为什么Gold Star Behavior 会让这么多人觉得好笑，又觉得“说的不就是我吗”？因为成年人的生活里，好像总有做不完的事情：another email, another message, another thing to accomplish——还有一封邮件、一个消息、又一件等着完成的事情。与此同时，社交媒体上看到的，却往往是别人生活中的高光时刻：getting promoted (升职)、traveling the world (环游世界)、getting fit (成功健身)、starting a business (创业)……但Gold Star Behavior关注的，恰恰不是这些“了不起”的成就，而是那些很小的事情。Maybe getting through an ordinary day is an achievement, too.“也许，平平常常地过完一天，也是一种成就。”这些small wins (小小的胜利)、small victories (小小的成功)，同样值得被看见。You don't have to do something extraordinary every day.“你不需要每天都做什么了不起的事情。”You showed up. You did your best. That's worth a gold star.“你来了，你已经尽力了，这就值得一颗小红花。”所以，Gold Star Behavior 虽然听起来很好笑，却又有一种 funny but strangely comforting (好笑，却又莫名让人觉得安慰) 的感觉。欢迎在评论区告诉我们：What's your Gold Star Behavior today?（你今天做了什么值得给自己一颗星的事情？）

After South Africa crushed the All Blacks to seal a 3-1 victory in Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series, Ugo, Danny and Chris debate how you beat the Boks, and if anyone can stop them winning a record third successive World Cup. We react to your messages following our exclusive with Conor O'Shea and get Danny's take on Steve Borthwick's contract extension. Will we see a Six Nations match in the USA? World Rugby is keen, with the 2031 men's and 2033 women's World Cup heading Stateside, but would it actually help rugby break America, or would the tournament be selling its soul?

Episode 1086 : "Brilliant! I always find something every show!"

PV & FRANNY A girl with a glockenspiel. A boy with a guitar. A high school full of weirdos, mascots who may or may not be unhinged, and a mystery that isn’t what anyone thinks it is. A dead-serious love story… that refuses to behave like one. One flier turns into a band. One band turns into obsession. And before they ever play a real set, everything is already ridiculous. ACT ONE Overton High is chaos in a controlled environment. The mascot smokes. The journalist thinks she’s breaking Watergate. The nicest bully in school politely refuses lunch money. And then there’s PV. Brilliant. Intense. Completely uncompromising. She doesn’t want to start a band. She wants to build something real. Franny Blevins just wants to be part of it. What begins as an awkward coffee shop encounter quickly turns into a partnership built on music, rules, and one very firm boundary: No romance. Ever. Which becomes a problem almost immediately. As Franny gets pulled deeper into PV’s world, her music, her logic, her investigations, and her completely upside-down way of seeing everything, the stakes escalate in the most unexpected ways. A hate note that isn’t hate. An audition that turns into an interrogation. A band that starts to feel like something much bigger… and much messier. Act One is the beginning of the band, the beginning of the obsession, and the moment everything starts to spiral just slightly out of control.

I had also read Orwell's 1984 in that same year because I thought it was an appropriate time to get around to it, and you could kind of see where things were going by that point.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  

We've reached part 3 of our Back to Basics series on unit planning! Last episode, we built the assessment plan for our sample unit that included diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. Now it's time to choose the learning activities that will move students toward success on those assessments: the daily lesson plans. I'm putting out this series as an introduction to my new online course, Mastering the Lesson Plan. These four episodes will give you the big picture, but the course takes a much deeper dive into each step of the process and gives you practical tools you can use to plan stronger instruction.
