    If instant translation is in everyone's pocket, why learn another language? How do associations continue to provide value in the face of thriving social networks, AI,and challenges to traditional membership programs?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Larry Paska, Executive Director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages or ACTFL. Larry discusses:ACTFL as the “original social network” for world language educators.A field-wide focus on quality and proficiency: standards, teacher-prep guidance (via accreditation partnerships), and research that maps what languages are taught and where.Language proficiency assessments developed by ACTFL and administered via an exclusive licensee that drives important revenue for the association. The Language Connects Foundation's scholarships for teachers and students, micro-grants for research, and initiatives that raise the profile of language learning.How AI in language learning isn't a replacement for teachers, but a tool to support personalization and deepen learning.Dual-language immersion as a compelling model because it builds true proficiency and deepens cultural understanding.How ACTFL has maintained DEI as a strategic pillar because you can't have multilingual and multicultural without DEI.How employers need staff who can communicate across languages.References:ACTFL website

    Marc Copani, a former professional wrestler who goes as Muhammad Hassan, is my following guest. Mr. Copani introduced Muhammad Hassan, one of the most ferocious antagonists in WWE history, in 2004. He was an American of Arabic descent who would praise Allah and condemn the United States for the 9/11 tragedy. Copani's controversial reputation led to him working with superstars like The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan. He's on my show because, after being released in 2005, he went into teaching, became an assistant principal, and is currently working as an HR specialist for Fulton's School District in New York. This is inspiring, in my opinion. In order to welcome Marc Copani, also known as Muhammad Hassan, to Autism Rocks and Rolls, I would want your help.

Yes, laying the foundation for an infant to begin its life with a healthy gut is that important. Indeed, in the tapestry of infancy, Bifidobacterium species emerge as foundational weavers—early colonizers of the infant gut whose role threads through immunity, development, and even long-term health. Yet, sadly, a new study has found a widespread deficit of Bifidobacterium in infants born in the United States, which is driving prevalent gut dysbiosis and an increased risk of allergic disease.

    Reach Out Via Text!In this solo Friday episode, Jeremiah Jennings shares a passionate perspective on how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we should think about education, business, and parenting. Using the story of a local high schooler named Coop—an entrepreneur at heart who thrives outside the classroom—Jeremiah challenges the outdated systems that reward memorization over creativity. He argues that AI has already made routine tasks like calculations, research, and scheduling obsolete, freeing humans to focus on what only people can do: create, lead, problem-solve, and build relationships. Jeremiah also connects this back to business, urging owners to delegate repetitive tasks and use AI as a lever for growth while investing in leadership, innovation, and people. It's a big-picture conversation about raising kids, running companies, and preparing for a future where AI is here to stay.Leanscaper Dallas Intensive Signup-https://bit.ly/3VdddaD Support the show 10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcast Signup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signup Book A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcast Lawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/ The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/ Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.com Growing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/

    I finally convinced my dear friend, Lisa Rippy, to join me and share her incredible story. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one! Lisa has such a beautiful testimony of what happens when you hear God's call and simply say yes. In 2014, during what seemed like an ordinary school presentation, Lisa felt the Lord tug on her heart to go to Sierra Leone and she didn't hesitate. That one yes led to a life-changing journey for her, her family, her students, and our entire community. In this conversation, Lisa opens up about: What it felt like to hear God's call so clearly in the middle of everyday life. Her first trip to Sierra Leone and the powerful ways God's presence showed up. How the children she thought she was going to teach ended up teaching her. The ripple effect of her yes, especially how it shaped her daughter's future calling. Why serving doesn't have to be “big” to matter and how even the small things bring joy and transformation. Lisa's story is a reminder that it's never too late, never too small, and never the wrong season for God to use us. You'll be inspired, encouraged, and maybe even challenged to say yes to the little nudges God is placing on your heart. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach, retreat leader, and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. With over 26 years of experience as an educator, administrator, and Director of Religious Education, she is passionate about walking with midlife women through life's transitions—especially those that come from unexpected changes in relationships, identity, or purpose. A devoted mother of three grown sons and proud grandmother of two, Jennie creates sacred spaces where women can encounter the love of the Father, be transformed by the Holy Spirit, so they can magnify Christ in their everyday lives. Jennie is the host of the Catholic Moms in the Middle podcast and a featured voice on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, where she shares encouragement and faith-filled wisdom with women navigating the twists and turns of midlife.

Disruptions are going to happen, but instead of stopping your whole lesson to give a lecture (or raising your blood pressure), you can use a calm little 1-2-3 finger cue to redirect behavior in a low-key, non-shaming way. We'll walk you through how to teach the signal like any other procedure, practice it so students know exactly what to do, and keep it as chill and predictable as possible.

    Dear Article Clubbers,We had a great discussion last Sunday. Thank you to everyone who made it so!It's September, which means two things:* The real school year has begun* I get to announce our article of the monthI cannot adequately express how honored I am to share with you September's article of the month. We are going to be reading and discussing “What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom,” by Piers Gelly.If you've been following my article selections over the past year, you know that I'm fascinated with how artificial intelligence has transformed education — mostly for the worse — and how educators don't know what to do about this sudden shift.(Besides complain a lot, and wishing we could go back in time, to the golden age of bluebooks, which is what many educators are doing.) These woe-is-me pieces by educators have gotten so ubiquitous, I've begun to skip them. I've been looking for something fresh. That's why I was immediately hooked when I came upon Prof. Gelly's piece.In his essay, published in July in Literary Hub, Prof. Gelly does not lament the rise of technology. Rather, in his English class, he engages his University of Virginia students in an authentic exploration of artificial intelligence and its effects. He's curious. He is unafraid to experiment with his students. He remains vulnerable to the possibility that his role as professor may be in danger. Most importantly, Prof. Gelly takes us into his classroom, introduces us to his students, and tells us a story filled with humanity.My hope is that you will consider reading Prof. Gelly's essay. I also hope that you will make space to reflect on his words. If you are moved — as I predict many of you will be — I encourage you to join our discussion so that we can all connect and have a conversation in community.➡️ Inside today's issue, you'll find:* My conversation with Article Club co-host Melinda, in which we share our first impressions of the article (alongside our banter)* A quick blurb about the article, plus my handwritten annotations* A short biography of the author* More information about our discussion on September 28, plus an inviteOne more thing: My gut says, if you're a high school or college educator, your students would appreciate reading this piece.What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English ClassroomThe more I read this essay, the more I appreciate it. Part of the reason is that I am an educator, too, grappling with the same issues surrounding artificial intelligence that so many of us are — whether we are teachers or parents or students or generally concerned citizens who don't want humanity to be vanquished.But most of the reason I love this piece is that Piers Gelly is an outstanding teacher. He begins his article with students, and his students are at the center throughout. You'll meet Cam and Max and other students who take on Prof. Gelly's writing assignments and in-class activities. You'll read how they make meaning of artificial intelligence and its impact on education, how their views shift over the course of the semester. Is ChatGPT a “calculator for words,” as Sam Altman suggests? What's the point of the painful process of writing when a computer can make things easier?You'll gain insights on these and other important questions. But what delights me most about this piece is that we get to peer inside Prof. Gelly's classroom. He doesn't talk in generalities. He tells us exactly what he did and how his students reacted. Teaching, after all, is about what we do, day after day, with the people in the classroom. It's about the relationships that are built, the learning community that emerges, and the collective understanding that develops over time.In this essay about artificial intelligence, Prof. Gelly reminds us of the humanity that is at the core of the endeavor of education.By Piers Gelly • Literary Hub • 23 min • Gift Link➕ Bonus: Here's the essay with my handwritten highlights and annotations.About the authorPiers Gelly lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he teaches at the University of Virginia. His writing has been featured by such publications as n+1, The Dublin Review, The Point, and 99% Invisible.About the discussionMy hope is that you'll read “What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom” and want to talk about it.We'll be meeting up on Zoom on Sunday, September 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll spend the first few minutes saying hi and doing short introductions. Then after I frame the piece and share our community agreements, we'll break out into small, facilitated discussion groups. The small groups usually include 5-8 people, so there's plenty of time to share your perspectives and listen to others. That's where we'll spend the bulk of our time. Toward the end, we'll return to the full group, sharing our reflections and appreciations of fellow participants.If this sounds interesting to you, sign up by clicking on the button below.If you're unsure, I get it. If you don't know me, it might feel strange to sign up for an online discussion with total strangers. But I am confident that you'll find yourself at home with other kind people who like to read deeply and explore ideas in community. We've done this 60 times, and by now, it's not a surprise that we're able to create an intimate space, almost like we're in the same physical room together.I hope that you read the piece. If it resonates with you, I encourage you to take the plunge and join us on September 28!Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Whether you're just curious about AI or ready to start using it in your classroom tomorrow, this episode is full of tips and ideas you can put into action immediately.By the end of the episode, you'll have a clear picture of how AI can be a powerful helper in your teaching toolkit, without replacing the things that only a teacher can do.

    A couple of weeks ago, I released an episode about how people learn by doing, and I touched upon how to make training sessions more interactive so that your participants actually learn better and the information sticks longer. Well, on this episode, I'm gonna show you how to make training sessions way more fun and way more interactive. I'm going to give you five of the biggest things that me and my instructors use when we go out doing training courses to make the classes way more fun, way more interesting, and always land those five star reviews. Classroom based training remains one of, if not the absolute best mediums to learn professional development skills, but the classes are only so effective if they are taught properly. In an age where there are digital and online courses galore which are cheaper and more accessible, getting the real value out of in-person classrooms requires the ability to do it right. So let's look at just a few of those ways to get real value out of your courses.
