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.

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.

Seit Anfang März sind 75 Prozent der stationären schmerzmedizinischen Einrichtungen in Krankenhäusern, die Patienten mit schweren chronischen Schmerzen teil- und vollstationär behandeln, wegen der Corona-Krise geschlossen. Das geht aus einer aktuellen Umfrage des Berufsverbands der Ärzte und Psychologischen Psychotherapeuten in der Schmerz- und Palliativmedizin in Deutschland e.V. (BVSD) hervor. Was das für die jetzige Versorgung der Patienten bedeutet und was es zu verbessern gilt für eine Rückkehr zu mehr Normalität, das erläutert Schmerzmediziner Dr. Andreas Böger vom Schmerzzentrum Kassen - DRK Kliniken Nordhessen in diesem Podcast.
We go deep in this podcast about how parents new to dyslexia have to deal with the overwhelm of information. Then the shock of how under informed teachers are in educating dyslexics. The need to find outside help and community to find a way through the challenges to the solutions. With Caron Trout, a mother of a 14 year old, who discovered he was dyslexic and became one of the founding members of BVKid from Boulder, Colorado. Here are some snippets of what we covered. The Wake up call: “Another parent said ...‘Hey, I think your kid is really struggling …” The Assessment: “....I just wish we had sooner.” Dealing with the overwhelm: “...trying to trust which information is really good … “ Finding help outside: “...not having good information... breaks your trust as a parent. You've got to go outside…” Trusting under trained professionals: “I really trusted the professionals... Teachers were under-trained and not very well informed… that was also a shock” Confidentiality creating shame: “...making ... learning differences a taboo is really a shaming experience. We need to ... talk openly about it.” Making Dyslexia visible with Role Models: Children “...need to see what being dyslexic looks like.” Being afraid to make waves.: “I think sometimes we're afraid to make waves.” Being alone is hard- Connect: “ I would just like to encourage other parents to connect with each other... Being alone is such a hard place.” Links you might like to check out: Caron Trout: There's an elephant in the room at BVSD by Caron Trout: http://www.dailycamera.com/guest-opinions/ci_30831206/caron-trout-theres-an-elephant-room-at-bvsd BVKID Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/bouldervalleyKID/ BVKID Website: https://www.bvkid.org/ Google Classroom: https://classroom.google.com/h Understood.org website: https://www.understood.org/en Yes Program Website: https://www.yesprograms.org/ Wrights Law: https://www.wrightslaw.com/ Bulletmap Academy Page: https://bulletmapacademy.com BulletMap Academy Workshop: https://bulletmapacademy.com/workshop/ BulletMap Academy Blogs: https://bulletmapacademy.com/blogs/ Enroll in BulletMap Academy: https://bulletmapacademy.com/sales-page/#price for Full Transcript of the podcast visit: www.bulletmapstudio.com/38/
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. Kiffany shares her story and ideas for making this sort of change happen at scale.BioKiffany Lychock is the Director of Educational Innovations for BVSD, National Faculty for @BIEpbl, Co-Owner of DLI LLC, and is a passionate advocate of learning.Connect@klychockbvsdinnovation.or
