(AURN News) - A new grant program will help hundreds of educators and make school leadership more diverse. The state of California's new $10 million program is underway and aimed at helping educators pursue administrative credentials. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing announced that 367 candidates across the state will receive one-time grants of up to $30,000 each. The initiative, known as the Diverse Education Leaders Pipeline Initiative (DELPI), is designed “to train, place, and retain diverse and culturally responsive administrators in transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1 to 12,” according to the commission. "It was in middle school that I had my first African American math teacher. His presence alone inspired me. He was charismatic and relatable, someone who I felt understood me," said Lawrence Hardy, a grant recipient from San Bernardino City Unified School District. "In return, I want to be that educator that will inspire and motivate the next generation,” he added. The DELPI program aims to improve student outcomes by ensuring school leadership better reflects California's diverse population. Grant recipients must commit to serving a minimum of two years as site-level administrators in California schools. The initiative comes as part of a broader effort to address the needs of California's education workforce and create more inclusive learning environments for students across the state.

While California is often seen as being on the forefront of Progressive legislation and individual rights, the state's main anti-trust law, The Cartwright Act, dates back to the Roosevelt era - the TEDDY Roosevelt era, that is - 1907, to be exact. The Cartwright Act is often invoked in tandem with the federal anti-trust statute, The Sherman Act of 1890, but in fact, the federal law has stricter proscriptions against monopolies than the California legislation. That may be about to change.In 2022, the legislature passed a resolution tasking the California Law Revision Commission (CLRC) with providing recommendations on how to update The Cartwright Act. The CLRC set up a series of working groups to prepare in depth reports on a set of seven specific issues - the working groups have published their reports, which are now being discussed at a series of public meetings. After these meetings, the CLRC will prepare a final report with recommendations for the legislature, teeing up new legislation to update The Cartwright Act in 2025.We're joined today by Teri Olle, Director of Economic Security California Action. She walks us through the specifics of what The Cartwright Act does, how it differs from the Sherman Act, and why updating it for the 21st Century matters.EPISODE NOTES2:16 The Cartwright Act vs. The Sherman Act4:25 The Commission process and potential impacts5:33 "Neoliberalism"6:49 The impact of monopolization on healthcare in California7:58 Concentration of food and gas markets9:17 What specifically be changed here?12:46 The first time in a generation to look at what our economy looks like RIGHT NOW16:46 How to get people to engage?

When it comes to writing, there is so much happening behind the scenes. It is so much more than sitting down, grabbing a pencil, and putting words on paper. In today's episode, we'll explore the challenges students face when it comes to writing. From motor skills to executive functioning, today's guest explains the complexities of the writing process.  Shanna Trombetta is an Educational Therapist and she joins the Diverse Thinking Different Learning Podcast to help us better understand not only the writing process and the challenges students face, but also ways we can support struggling students at home and in the classroom. She shares practical strategies and insights to empower parents and educators in guiding children through the whirlwind of creativity, skill, and determination that is writing.   Show Notes: [3:16] - A lot of learners who come into Shanna's practice struggle with writing. [4:24] - Shanna describes some of the things that are commonly a struggle when it comes to writing. There's so much happening at one time. [5:39] - It is common for students to have a lot of great ideas, but the mechanics of writing hold them up, and they wind up not writing anything. [7:32] - One way to support kids with writing is by providing them with a structure. [9:37] - People who don't struggle with executive functioning can typically create their own structure. But many kids need to be shown how to organize their information. [11:24] - When she works with students, Shanna helps them develop and use tools. [13:08] - What is background knowledge and why is it important for writing? [15:01] - Shanna describes writing around themes to help with structure.

How to Be Abe Lincoln: Seven Steps to Leading a Legendary Life by Jonathan Shapiro https://amzn.to/3RDzNJ6 More than at any time in American history, except perhaps Abe Lincoln's own, we need his help. And not just to inspire us. Over sixty-thousand books have been written about him, and most give us the heroic Lincoln. What we need now is a book that gives us the practical Lincoln. This is that book. It shows us how to survive our dangerously fractious age, one that is too often unmoored from truth, ignorant of facts, and unwilling to do the hard work of becoming better. It is written for those who don't just admire Lincoln but want to emulate his rational, practical approach to law, love, leadership, and life. It identifies the seven steps that made Abe Lincoln legendary and teaches you how to follow them. Written in the accessible, humorous style of Shapiro's previous books and television shows, the book is part history and biography, part philosophy, part memoir, part James Spader rant, and like Lincoln himself, a true original. Above all, it is great storytelling, using narrative to teach and inspire. About the author Jonathan Shapiro has spent the last 16 years writing and producing some of television's most iconic shows, including The Blacklist, The Practice, Life and Boston Legal. An Emmy, Peabody, and Humanitas Awards winner, he and David E. Kelley are the creators and executive producers of Trial, a legal thriller set to air on Amazon in 2016. In addition to his work in television, he is also the author of two recent books: the memoir "Liars, Lawyers, and the Art of Storytelling" (ABA Publishing) and the novel "Deadly Force" (Ankerwycke Press). For the last two years, he was Of Counsel for litigation at the Kirkland & Ellis law firm. Prior to writing for television, Jonathan spent a decade as a federal prosecutor and as an adjunct law professor at Loyola Law School and the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law. He is a member and the former chairman of the California Commission on Government Economy and Efficiency, as well as the founder and director of the Public Counsel Emergency for Torture Victims. He is a graduate of Harvard University, a Rhodes Scholar at Oriel College, Oxford University, and received his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Martha Ranon learned first hand what it's like to be a personal caregiver, and now she's working to support and empower other caregivers.  Along with the team at the Southern Resource Caregiver Center (SCRC), Martha is educating unpaid family caregivers on caregiving and self care.  Martha's first encounter with caregiving was with her great aunt.  Those caregiving responsibilities grew over time as her aunt's needs expanded, to the point where the decision was made to move her aunt into Martha's home.  Full time work, having children, and raising her family were all happening while Martha was providing care for her aunt.  The special considerations of caring for someone with dementia also challenged Martha and her family.  They found ways to grow and thrive during their caregiving journey.   Martha has channeled her caregiving wisdom into her career as Executive Vice President of the Southern Resource Caregiver Center.  The assistance she received motivated her to give back by volunteering and becoming further involved as a member of their Board of Directors. Her background in health and public policy has allowed her to forge relationships and collaborations with community leaders, businesses, elected officials, and philanthropists in order to develop programs and services that benefit the community. Having worked directly with several local and state elected officials managing constituent services, further developed her advocacy acumen taking her to Sacramento and Washington DC to increase awareness of health-related policies. Additionally, she has testified on behalf of family caregivers before the California Commission on Aging to expand the benefits and resources for those who care for others. Martha uses her extensive public speaking skills to bring education programs to community groups throughout San Diego County including being a guest lecturer at San Diego State University, School of Social Work, and teaching a course in Gerontology titled “Diversity and Aging.” You can access the caregiving resources from the Southern Caregiver Resource Center (SCRC) at scrc.care.

California STEAM Symposium is celebrating a landmark anniversary! And if you're in the Anaheim area, October 1-2, you're cordially invited to come celebrate--and learn-- with them. That's the weekend that the annual California STEAM Symposium will once again be an in-person event. If past experience is any indication, this is going to be, once again, "epic". Components of empowerment (California STEAM Symposium maker space, Anaheim, 2019.) Co-hosted by nonprofit Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation, the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and the California Department of Education, the California STEAM Symposium explores exciting and creative ways of empowering students through science, technology, engineering, art and math. Interactivity is the keyword, as educators conduct sessions on maker skills, robotics, immersive technology and numerous other innovative approaches that will get students learning, hands-on, in ways they'll remember--and apply to real life. But the educators aren't the only presenters. (Rialto High School students' Rube Goldberg machine, California STEAM Symposium, 2019.) Students also offer sessions and present their work! A+ for virtual programming (California STEAM Symposium, 2021.) For the past two years, the California STEAM Symposium has been all-virtual. Even with the limitations of remote presentations, the 2020 and 2021 events were highly creative and a lot of fun. (California STEAM Symposium, 2020.) Both symposia generated dozens of new ideas, even as participants attended from home. But as Karyn says, there's really nothing quite like the in-person experience. (California STEAM Symposium, Anaheim, 2019.) This year's California STEAM Symposium, at Anaheim Convention Center, will feature more than 150 sessions, keynote speakers, maker activities and some surprise special features. Karyn and Glennon talked about their experiences preparing for this landmark event, offered a preview of this year's schedule and shared ways attendees can get the most out of their STEAM experience. On this edition of Over Coffee® we cover: How Glennon and Karyn's experience with the "curve ball" of the pandemic helped them to prepare to return to in-person events; The "surprise" involved in going virtual and how Karyn and Glennon found the element of joy amid the pandemic's planning limitations; A new feature, this year, for California S.T.E.A.M. Symposium's 5,000-square-foot maker space; Some "don't-miss" activities and advice on time managements for educators; An imaginary "tour" of what's going to be happening on October 1, including the expo hall floor and maker space; A preview of the keynote speakers (and a hint at some "surprise" elements); Some of the highlights of the sessions that are going to be happening; How educators who consider themselves "less than technical" can learn alongside their students; Several areas in which students will be presenting; The CDE Foundation's mission statement, and how the California STEAM Symposium will operate on this core purpose; A special celebration for which you're invited to stay, on Saturday!; Guidance for first-time attendees; Karyn and Glennon's favorite stories about their experiences with California STEAM Symposium! The tenth annual California STEAM Symposium happens Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2, in Anaheim. Here's the link for more information.

Sometimes, science can seem absolutely magical. For Logos Education Systems Senior Lead Consultant Henri Shimojyo, focusing on that magic is key. Henri, who will be presenting at both the upcoming STEPCon 21 and at the California STEAM Symposium, gears his teaching style to student discovery, sparking curiosity and imparting a sense of wonder. Teaching, for Henri, is a means of opening students' eyes to the exciting world around them. Rather than "teaching to the test", he engages their imaginations by showing them how to explore the ways science is at work in their day-to-day lives. Henri's professional background includes teaching graduate courses in education at UC Riverside, as well as serving as the Science/STEAM Teacher Supervisor in the Graduate School of Education. He also taught chemistry for nine years, for Lake Elsinore Unified School District. And, you're just about to get the opportunity to hear, firsthand, why science can seem magical! Henri has two exciting presentations coming up. Firsthand "magic" He works with nonprofit STEP--the Science and Technology Education Partnership. STEP is currently preparing to host STEPCon 21--the Annual Student Conference on Science and Technology Education. This free virtual conference offers sessions for both educators (October 5th and 6th) and students (October 7th).And for the student edition, Henri will be presenting "The Science Show", at both 9:30 and 11:00 am on October 7th, demonstrating, to students, that "it's magic? No, it's science." In addition, you'll get to hear Henri speak at the upcoming California STEAM Symposium! Co-hosted by the Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation, the California Department of Education and the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, California STEAM Symposium explores some of the most creative and exciting approaches we've ever seen, to igniting students' imagination as they learn the ways science, technology, engineering, art and math interrelate. Henri, will be co-presenting a talk called "The Scale of Things" with Yamileth Shimojyo from the Riverside County Office of Education, on Friday, October 22nd at 5:30 pm. Meanwhile, the California STEAM Symposium starts at 3:00 pm, Pacific time, on Thursday, October 21st. Keynotes, breakout sessions and quick talks, as well as maker activities,, will take place until 6:10 pm that Thursday and Friday. Then, Saturday morning, October 23rd, starts the final day at 9:00, with presentations running until 1:00 that afternoon. Here's the link for more information. (And some of the video clips from Henri's participation in STEPCon21 will be available as resources during the California STEAM Symposium!) Henri shared some of his insights on science as a vehicle for understanding both art and the world around us, discussed the ways his own favorite teacher shaped his life and offered a preview of his presentations at STEPCon21 and the California STEAM Symposium. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: What first ignited Henri's passion for teaching; A look at the work of STEP and their upcoming STEPCon; How STEPCon might spark the imagination of students who are primarily interested in the arts, by finding the common denominators between art and science; A closer example of how an arts student could increase their skills through science; A preview of STEPCon 21, happening October 7th; Henri's recollections of the teacher who most impacted his life; How Henri communicates the magic of chemistry to very young students; His guidance for homeschooling parents in today's vastly-changed world; How to register for STEPCon 21; An "engaging life sample" Henri has written to capture the imagination of students (hint: it's an everyday item most of us take for granted!) A preview of Henri's upcoming presentation at the California STEAM Symposium: What Henri himself has learned,

Special Election Stream w/ Janani Ramachandran There is a special election for California State Assembly District 18 because the person that held that seat, Rob Bonta, became the State's Attorney General. We'll be speaking with one of the candidates running in the primary election that going down June 29th, progressive Democrat Janani Ramachandran.   About Janani: Janani is an East Bay native. She is the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants from a small South Indian village who worked tirelessly every day to give her the opportunity to pursue her dreams. Janani's passion for justice was evident at an early age. At 16, while relocating to India for a few years, she founded a nonprofit that built libraries in under-resourced schools in her local community. After graduating from Stanford University, Janani worked as a home-visiting case manager at a community health clinic, serving immigrant mothers experiencing domestic violence and homelessness.   Witnessing the horrors her clients faced at the hands of our inequitable legal system, she was driven to make a difference as a lawyer and attended Berkeley Law. There, Janani represented tenants facing eviction from some of Oakland's most notoriously corrupt landlords. This inspired her to want to affect change at a higher level. She has previously served on the Oakland Public Ethics Commission, and currently serves on the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs. She recently worked as an attorney at Family Violence Appellate Project, pursuing legal appeals and advocacy efforts to improve access to justice for all survivors of abuse.   Janani is running for State Assembly because the time for timid ideas is over. We need bold solutions and leaders with the courage to fight for them.   With your help, we can put the people first in Sacramento and have California's first South Asian Assemblywoman – by electing Janani Ramachandran, who is fearless in the fight for justice.

Our legal system gives Judges power over trivial matters as well as over life or death. But who judges the Judges? The answer varies with the jurisdictions. In this episode Mary and Lee speak with Assistant Professor Michael Moodian who was appointed by the Governor of California, Jerry Brown, to the 11-member State of California Commission on Judicial Performance in 2015 and reappointed Mike for a four-year term in 2017. The commission investigates judicial misconduct and complaints and disciplines state judges. This is a behind the scenes look at the process of investigating judicial complaints including who files complaints, how investigations proceed, and what types of sanctions are available to deal with judicial misconduct. Is it going to be a private letter, or a public reprimand, all the way up to removal from the bench. Mary shares her experience with Judges who, perhaps, crossed the line of propriety.  Mary, Lee, and Mike wrap up the episode discussing the benefits of a systemic  change to include proactive judicial monitoring with financial and assets disclosure requirements that could help expose and deter judicial corruption.  Find us on Twitter @courtpod Click here to see the episode on our website Resources mentioned in this episode:https://www.chapman.edu/our-faculty/michael-moodianhttps://cjp.ca.gov/https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-judges-misconduct/https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/08/11/139536686/pa-judge-sentenced-to-28-years-in-massive-juvenile-justice-bribery-scandal 

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador interviews Shelley Lyford President and Chief Executive Officer of West Health, the Gary and Mary West Foundation, and the West Health Institute. Growth in Population of Weak and Vulnerable According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the world is on the brink of a demographic milestone. Since the beginning of recorded history, young children have outnumbered their elders.  In about 5 years’ time, the number of people aged 65 or older will outnumber children under age 5. Driven by falling fertility rates and remarkable increases in life expectancy, population aging will continue, and even accelerate. The number of people aged 65 or older is projected to grow from an estimated 524 million in 2010 to nearly 1.5 billion in 2050, with most of the increase in developing countries. Impact of Aging Population As these trends occur, key questions arise: - Will population aging be accompanied by a longer period of good health, a sustained sense of well-being, and extended periods of social engagement and productivity, or will it be associated with more illness, disability, and dependency? - How will aging affect health care and social costs? - Are these futures inevitable, or can we act to establish a physical and social infrastructure that might foster better health and wellbeing in older age? - How will population aging play out differently for low-income countries that will age faster than their counterparts have, but before they become industrialized and wealthy? These are important questions which require answers, and sooner than later. Billionaire Philanthropists Gary and Mary West For Gary and Mary West, what started as an entrepreneurial journey in 1978, when they co-founded a small telemarketing company in the garage of their house in Omaha, Nebraska, turned into the multi-billion $$ American telecommunications company / success story, the West Corporation, employing close to 36,000 people As wonderful an entrepreneurial success story as that was, what happened next is an equally fascinating story, where this amazing couple has taken major parts of their fortune, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in supporting causes, including, but not limited to, senior citizen wellness and cutting the health care costs for the elderly. Shelly Lyford, West Health and Gary West Foundation Shelley Lyford is President and Chief Executive Officer of West Health, the Gary and Mary West Foundation, and the West Health Institute. Solely funded by the philanthropy of Gary and Mary West, West Health is a family of non-profit, nonpartisan organizations dedicated to lowering healthcare costs to enable seniors to successfully "age in place" with access to high-quality, affordable health and support services that preserve and protect their dignity, quality of life, and independence. With a master’s degree in international relations and political economics from the University of San Diego, Ms. Lyford has played a critical role in establishing the Gary and Mary West Foundation in 2006, and under her leadership, has to date rewarded grants totalling more than $223 million  for applied medical research, policy initiatives and community support and social services for seniors and their caregivers. Ms. Lyford also leads the Gary and Mary West Health Institute as it conducts research on a wide range of healthcare issues affecting seniors and their families. Ms. Lyford has spearheaded the development of innovative healthcare delivery ecosystems that serve as national care models of excellence, including the Gary and Mary West Senior Emergency Care Unit at University of California, San Diego Health, California’s first nationally-accredited senior-specific emergency department, and the Gary and Mary West PACE organization in north San Diego, a set of gold standard programs, which help seniors age in place, rather than in a nursing home. Additionally, she oversaw the development of the first of its kind, non-profit Gary and Mary West Senior Dental Center to ensure low-income seniors have access to high-quality, affordable dental care integrated with health and wellness services. Ms Lyford has been involved in setting up many of the organization's research initiatives and collaborations including those with the American College of Emergency Physicians, the American Geriatrics Society, Brown University, Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Duke University, Meals on Wheels America, Mount Sinai Health System, UC San Diego Health and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2019, Ms. Lyford was appointed for a three-year term as a commissioner on the California Commission on Aging, advising the state’s governor and legislature, along with federal, state and local agencies, on issues, policies, and regulations that affect California’s seniors, and subsequently appointed to California’s Master Plan for Aging Stakeholder Advisory Committee. Ms. Lyford also serves as vice-chair of the board of directors for CivicaRx, a not-for-profit generic drug company helping patients by addressing shortages and lowering the high prices of lifesaving medications. Prior to her work with Gary and Mary West, Ms. Lyford was a director at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego. She currently sits on the Executive Committee of Grantmakers in Aging. On this episode of ideaXme we will hear from Ms. Lyford about: - Her background and fascinating path from growing up on a dairy farm in Vermont to running the West Health network of organizations - The Gary and Mary West story and why they developed their charitable focus on seniors and aging - The biggest challenges today facing seniors including the themes of "aging-in-place", geriatric emergency care, and senior oral health - How the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted seniors and aging - How Tele-Health has emerged as an important option during the pandemic and thoughts about the importance of Tele-Health now and into the future for senior care and monitoring - The California Master Plan for Aging - The blossoming cost of prescription drugs and what can be done to bring prices down - Her overall recommendations for reforming the healthcare system and her outlook for aged-care  Interview Credits: Ira Pastor ideaXme life sciences ambassador.

(Photograph courtesy of Dr. Frederick Uy, and used with permission.) When was the last time you had fun in math class? The California STEAM Symposium says that needs to happen more often.  And so does Steering Committee member Dr. Fred Uy. When the seventh annual California STEAM Symposium happens, December 9th and 10th in Anaheim, educators will get to see all kinds of ways this could happen. Fred, as he prefers to be called, is the Director of Educator Preparation at California State University's Office of the Chancellor.   His specialty: math.  He has taught math, both at the K-12  level and, for more than 18 years, at the college level, preparing future math instructors to teach in more innovative ways.  Meanwhile, CSU trains the majority of teachers credentialed in California. 2019 marks Fred's first year on the  California STEAM Symposium's Steering Committee.  He has also attended the symposium many times in the past. Not surprisingly, Fred is all about exploring nontraditional ways to bring math to life for students.   He will be leading two sessions at the California STEAM Symposium, which the Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation, the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and the California Department of Education are producing in partnership. Fred talked about mathematics instruction, some of the ways he himself introduced "out-of-the-box" thinking into his classes and the ways he sees the California STEAM Symposium serving both future students and the next generation of STEAM teachers. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: How a different approach led Fred to his career in mathematics; Fred's first lesson for the next generation of math teachers; Some of the ways Fred captured the imagination of his own students in his math classes; A geometry lesson which Fred taught, which incorporated art; Fred's experiences in his work on the California STEAM Symposium Steering Committee; An inside preview of the California STEAM Symposium; Specific STEAM Symposium features which Fred considers to have a major "wow factor"; A look at what will be happening in the makerspaces (which will be in operation throughout both days of the symposium); A preview of the sessions Fred will be leading; One innovative CSU program for training teachers, of which a number of people may not be aware; One misconception about math, which both CSU and the California STEAM Symposium are debunking; A mini-math lesson which incorporates art!; What Fred has found most rewarding, in his first year on the Steering Committee; The changes he's seen, in the way math is taught, over his career in education; His perspective on the ways mathematics instruction needs to evolve, over the next few years. The "magic element" he recommends, to get student comfortable with math; What he's most looking forward to, as the 2019 California STEAM Symposium approaches; What he himself has learned, in the past year, that he would like to share with fellow education professionals.     And--here is our previous episode, featuring a conversation with CDEF STEAM Program Director Glennon Stratton, about the California STEAM Symposium!  The California STEAM Symposium begins at 7:00 am, Monday, December 9th, and runs through Tuesday afternoon, December 10th.  This is a symposium for anyone interested in STEAM education; here's the link for information. n!   Here's the link for information.

Technically, STEAM is an acronym: science, technology, engineering, art and math. But for the California STEAM Symposium, that "E" could easily stand for "empowerment". And the seventh annual California STEAM Symposium is set to happen in Anaheim, December 9th and 10th! Glennon Stratton is the STEAM Program Director for the Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation.   CDEF is co-hosting the California STEAM Symposium, in partnership with the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and CSU. The focus of this annual conference: how to combine the five areas of STEAM to engage students in learning.   And like the 2018 edition, this will be an exciting and creative two days. More than 250 breakout presentations are scheduled, at the Anaheim Convention Center's North Hall.  A maker space will be offer regular class sessions, both days.  Exhibits and keynote speakers will spotlight innovative approaches to teaching--and to learning. Robotics, rockets and maker lessons are on the agenda.  So are art lessons which bring geometry and science to life.  Animation, Space Station exploration, and even a murder mystery (featuring teachers as "suspects"!) will be subjects attendees can explore. While geared towards education professionals, the conference is for anyone who understands the importance of STEAM awareness in the twenty-first century. Members of organizations that promotes STEAM awareness will find the California STEAM Symposium time well spent. Glennon talked about the California STEAM Symposium and the concepts behind a more customized approach to empowering students. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: The origins of Glennon's passion for education and improving lives; How a non-classroom teaching experience made him aware of the power of interdisciplinary education (a/k/a STEAM); The concepts at the root of a hands-on learning experience and results Glennon has seen, with students; What attendees will experience at the 2019 California STEAM Symposium; A summary of the 2019 keynotes; How one of those speakers uses a pop-culture approach to teaching students science concepts; A highly empowering STEAM application Glennon observed, while working in as a project manager in Portland public schools; A closer look at some of the 2019 sessions (including one that tells participants, "math can be fun"); What Glennon himself has learned, in the past year, from his work with students and teachers; His advice to teachers implementing a STEAM approach in a classroom; Glennon's own experience with math being fun!; How to open reading for students so that it's magical, rather than a chore; A look at one of the science-oriented sessions; Who, besides education professionals, can benefit from attending the California STEAM Symposium; One of Glennon's favorite experiences from preparing for the 2019 California STEAM Symposium; Unique presentations which will be led by students themselves; The critical component to getting around the challenges facing underserved students.      

CALIFORNIA PROTECTIVE PARENTS ASSOCIATION: EDUCATING AND ADVOCATING FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES What started as a park bench conversation about protective parents losing their children to abusers in family courts has evolved into an organization that is making nationally renowned progress in working to eliminate the problem. Catherine Campbell is the Executive Director of the California Protective Parent Association (CPPA), a group which has created awareness through research and education and is holding court officials accountable for decisions and behaviors that are harming children. As a protective parent with a marketing & communications background Campbell is at the forefront of the movement. She has worked with congressional members on both sides of the aisles to help pass this child safety resolution in 2018 in the U.S. House of Representatives. In California she has helped build awareness to see the passing of Piqui’s Resolution (HR113), worked with Center for Judicial Excellence to bring an audit forward for the California Commission on Judicial Performance which is the first ever audit in their nearly 60 year history and meet with CA legislatures to update laws for DV and child safety.  Join us as Campbell explains the organization, what necessitated its development, and how it is making an impact across the country. Airing for the first time, Saturday, November 9, at 11 AM Pacific Time, and available thereafter through the archive at www.blogtalkradio.com/3women3ways.

This time On the Road at the 2016 ABA Annual Meeting, host Sandy Gallant-Jones speaks with former federal prosecutor, producer, and author Jonathan Shapiro about his work writing legal dramas for television. Jonathan gives a brief synopsis of his legal background as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office and talks about the path that led him to become of counsel at the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers. He reminisces about his early career, meeting his wife, Betsy Borns, and selling his first script to writer and producer David E. Kelley. The work of writers, he says, is to use their experience to create new material, and he discusses how this relates to his new book, “Deadly Force,” and his current show, “Goliath.” Jonathan closes the interview with an analysis of the high numbers of alcohol abuse among attorneys and his suggestions on how law schools can better teach students to form cogent persuasive arguments and revitalize the nobility and idealism of the legal profession. Jonathan Shapiro has spent the last 16 years writing and producing some of television's most iconic shows, including “The Blacklist,” “The Practice,” “Life” and “Boston Legal.” He has won an Emmy, Peabody, and Humanitas Award and also authored "Liars, Lawyers, and the Art of Storytelling" (ABA Publishing) and the novel "Deadly Force" (Ankerwycke Press). Prior to writing for television, Jonathan spent a decade as a federal prosecutor and as an adjunct law professor at Loyola Law School and the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law. He is a member and the former chairman of the California Commission on Government Economy and Efficiency, as well as the founder and director of the Public Counsel Emergency for Torture Victims.
