Lee Schwartz is the author of Raising Giants, a memoir about raising his two sons, Geoff and Mitch, both of whom reached the NFL. What started as a father's journey through the world of competitive football became something deeper — a reckoning with the real risks of brain trauma, CTE, and the long-term consequences of repeated head impacts in contact sports. Lee doesn't shy away from the hard questions. In this episode, he shares what he wish he had known earlier, how families can make more informed decisions about contact sports, and how to balance supporting your child's passion with protecting their long-term health. This one is important — not just for football families.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 390 with an unexpected detour into horse sanctuary volunteer orientation before turning their attention to a Mariners club desperately in need of the All-Star break after another miserable road trip. They discuss Seattle's lone All-Star representative Randy Arozarena, and the struggling offense before shifting to the biggest local sports story of the week: the $9.6 billion sale of the Seahawks to the Khosla family. Mitch and Brady Farkas survey a Mariners club that limps into the All-Star break below .500 after another frustrating road trip, debating whether an 8-2 finale provides any real optimism. The conversation centers on the anticipated returns of Julio Rodríguez and Brendan Donovan, and the uncomfortable reality that Seattle's season ultimately hinges on Cal Raleigh. Fresh off attending nine matches across the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Matt "Stretch" Johnson joins Mitch for one final World Cup recap as the pair dissect the United States' disappointing 4-1 loss to Belgium. The conversation explores the goalkeeper's costly mistakes, the overall trajectory of the U.S. program heading toward 2030, and why the next World Cup in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco should feature many of the same American stars. A miserable Mariners sweep in Miami sends Mitch and Danny O'Neil down one of the show's most delightfully bizarre rabbit holes, as baseball takes a backseat to an extended discussion about uneven sideburns, proper barbershop etiquette, London's luxurious hot-towel shaves, ear-hair removal by flame, and Mitch's childhood memories of his mother singeing stray chicken hairs with a blowtorch before dinner. The conversation eventually pivots to a sobering examination of former Seahawk Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, prompting a thoughtful debate over football's long-term health risks.

"Would I have allowed fear to steal my destiny?" Ryan Clark A Friday episode of The Pivot Podcast with the fellas. Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder kick back for a classic Friday conversation, catching up on life, sports, and everything in between. The trio opens with heartfelt thoughts on Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, reflecting on the football brotherhood and the importance of supporting those who have given so much to the game. They also have an honest conversation about the fear of CTE—the reality that comes with playing football at the highest level. While they acknowledge the risks every player accepts, all three agree that, knowing everything they know today, they still wouldn't change a thing about the game that shaped their lives. The conversation shifts to the NBA as they debate the buzz surrounding a potential Jaylen Brown trade and what it says about today's business of sports. From there, the guys dive into a bigger question: What truly defines a great leader? Whether it's in the locker room, on the field, or in everyday life, they share the qualities they believe separate good leaders from great ones. With July marking the halfway point of the year, Ryan, Fred, and Channing each open up about the personal goals, habits, and areas they're focused on improving during the second half of 2026. Ryan also shares stories from attending Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding, giving the guys plenty to laugh about as they react in true Pivot fashion. It's thoughtful, hilarious, honest, and everything people enjoy about the locker room feel of the guys simply talking about life. No guests—just The Pivot doing what it does best.

Plenty of secondary teachers land here, wrestling with planning systems for middle and high school while feeling like they're always starting from zero. The real issue? You probably aren't missing knowledge or effort—what you're missing is a repeatable teaching framework that lightens the load every single time.We've all sat through marathon lesson planning sessions, collecting activities and sifting through standards, only to end up with a pile of disconnected ideas and a heaping dose of teacher fatigue. Host Khristen Massic knows this pain firsthand. In this episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast, she shares the “aha” moment that flipped her script: ditching endless explanations for live, step-by-step modeling. She put herself on the hot seat, building a brand new unit from scratch right in front of other teachers—showing not just the what, but the why behind every planning choice.One of the biggest stumbles Khristen experienced was spending way too much time explaining her thinking. Sound familiar? It turns out, what teachers crave isn't a longer list of concepts—they want to watch someone think out loud, solving real problems in the real world of curriculum planning. Watching the process, not just hearing about it, lets you see each decision, each fork in the road, in real time. That's where the real learning happens.The key teaching moment came when Khristen tackled a fresh 3D printing course—blank slate, unknown territory, multiple standards. Instead of robotically following the sequence in the standards, she asked, “What experience will convince students this class is worth staying in?” The answer: get kids printing as soon as possible. Not because the other stuff isn't important, but because immediate engagement hooks them when they're most likely to bail or check out. This shift doesn't just build buy-in; it completely reshapes the order and flow of the unit.If you're bogged down wondering about the right order for your standards, take heart: standards tell you what your students need to learn, but they don't tell you the best way to sequence that learning. For electives, CTE, or any course that you're building from scratch—especially with no pre-made scope or sequence—it's up to you to decide what makes sense for your students, right now. That's not just curriculum design, that's making intentional instructional decisions.Khristen brings the “Introduce, Practice, Produce” framework right to the surface. It's dead simple: every lesson is either introducing something new, letting kids practice, or letting them produce something to show what they've learned. No, the world doesn't need another acronym, but sometimes you just need a way to categorize the endless decision-making so you don't drown in overthinking. When each lesson has a clearly defined job, planning becomes sharper—less “What worksheet should I grab?” and more “What do my students need next?” That is the teacher tip that can truly change your classroom routines and your work life balance.Here's the tough love: stop collecting random activities. Stop scrolling Pinterest. Before you do anything, ask yourself: “What experience do I want my students to have first—and why?” Ignore the order your standards list. Focus on what students need to encounter first to make the rest stick. That one shift—starting with student experience—makes every next decision lighter and keeps you from getting lost in the weeds.This episode is your first step if you're looking to actually lighten your planning load and get out of the “start from scratch” trap. Especially if you teach multiple preps, electives, or any course where the curriculum isn't handed to you on a platter, this approach is going to help you see planning as a series of small, intentional choices, not one giant mental mountain to scale.Whether you're new to the secondary classroom or a veteran stuck in a rut, this series is for you. Khristen's going deeper in coming episodes—digging into what makes a killer introduction lesson and the difference between just a “hook” and an opening that actually moves the needle on learning. No fluff, just real strategies for teachers who want to spend less time in decision paralysis and more time making progress that matters.So here's your marching order: don't just sit and think—get ruthless about your planning process. Every lesson serves a purpose, every choice can get lighter, and your sanity is worth more than “another cute activity.”Do the work, trust the process, and never let a blank unit plan intimidate you again. Planning doesn't have to hurt—so make tomorrow lighter, and don't take anyone else's script as gospel.Burn the old playbook. Write your own.

Today we're going all in on classroom technology procedures for smoother lab days—a phrase every harried secondary teacher has Googled at least once, and for good reason. So much time and energy evaporates when students grab devices before they're even needed or get tangled up in logistics that should have been routine. If you're tired of lab days unraveling, this episode's got the honest-to-goodness fix.Let's be real: most lab chaos isn't a student problem—it's a routine problem. The wild, uneven starts. The blank stares. That group halfway into cleanup before anyone else gets started. All symptoms of not setting the right structures. Maybe students grab laptops when they walk in, not realizing they're supposed to wait. Or nobody touches the gear, and suddenly you're losing 15 minutes to logins, charging, or “is this thing even working?”. Those little gaps? They cost you instructional time and your sanity.Here's what you should know: technology and lab days force students to make more decisions than the average period, and unless we answer those questions first—Who's my partner? Where's my role? What do I do when I'm done?—they'll fill in the blank their own way (usually not the way you want). The real solution isn't a fancier device—it's clear, practiced procedures. When you make the decisions for them in advance and build it into the bones of your classroom routines, everything changes.The show dives hard into specifics, breaking down three types of classroom technology procedures every secondary teacher needs before school even starts. The big one for today: lab day procedures. That's right—how you assign groups, create permanent A/B designations (rotating roles instead of every lab day feeling like Groundhog Day), who grabs materials, how cleanup works, and even what to do with half-finished projects. One unbeatable trick for stopping side conversations before they start: review a brief lab slide highlighting the day's unique elements before revealing group assignments. That single shift prevents movement and chatter before you're ready for it.There's wisdom here from trial and error, including a memorable moment when a paper airplane factory simulation fell flat—not because the content was bad, but because students never had a consistent group structure to slot into. That clarity hit home: structure isn't your enemy. Structure is what makes real learning (and risk-taking, and tinkering) possible in a secondary classroom.You'll get tips for making the routine visible and idiot-proof. Think: role cards posted for easy reference, a group assignments system that never changes up so students don't have to mentally juggle “am I yellow today, or B or...wait...who's my partner again?” Teachers—especially those in CTE, electives, or science—will love the practicality: slide signals, photo reminders of what a perfectly reset workspace looks like, strategies to address the “what if half the groups are off task?” problem, and the permission to pause for “just in time” teaching if the wheels come off.Multi-prep teachers, secondary classroom warriors, and anyone who's ever lost time (or their temper) to logistics—this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away ready to build routines before your students touch a device, streamlining lab days, and freeing yourself up to teach instead of troubleshooting.The bottom line? Calm, self-sufficient classrooms don't run on charisma. They run on intentionally built routines that save everyone—from students to the teacher at the front—a world of stress. If you're aiming for work life balance in the new school year, start here. One routine at a time. Host Khristen Massic wraps it with tough love and a reminder: if your students wouldn't know what to do tomorrow if you lost your voice, you know where to fix first.Ready to make tomorrow lighter? Don't just survive lab days—own them.
Most workforce development advice sounds good until you try to scale it. Today we get specific, practical, and a little disruptive with PJ McGrew, Senior Vice President of Talent Strategy and Programming at Conexus Indiana, on why the Swiss apprenticeship model works and what it takes to adapt it for modern manufacturing in the United States.We talk about the real bottleneck nobody wants to admit: education systems cannot sustainably deliver dozens of employer-specific training plans. PJ shares how an industry talent association can bring manufacturers together to define shared occupational standards, then translate those standards into repeatable high school CTE courses and work-based learning. The goal is a clearer, employer-led pathway that starts in a student's junior year, navigates hazardous occupation rules, and builds job-ready skills that reduce retraining on day one.We also zoom out to the bigger picture: changing how families define a “good job,” opening factory doors so students can see clean, tech-enabled facilities, and building foundational skills that let people specialize later. That includes CNC, automation and robotics, PLC concepts, and especially troubleshooting and adaptability. We wrap with what manufacturers can do right now to start small, train supervisors to mentor teens, and connect talent strategy with digital adoption, including the rising pressure to add AI literacy and prompt-writing skills.If you found this useful, subscribe for more conversations on industrial automation careers, share the episode with a manufacturer or educator, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the show_________________________________________________________________

The latest episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast is all about student accountability routines that actually teach independence instead of demanding compliance. Host Khristen Massic is drilling into the practical moves that make your students more responsible and keep you from being the classroom help desk every single period. This episode doesn't just preach accountability—it hands you teacher tips for setting up classroom routines that free up your brain and restore a little bit of your work life balance in the secondary classroom.Let's get honest: too many of us lose precious minutes of every class period explaining what students missed, repeating directions, and hunting down lost copies. Far too often, especially for teachers with multiple preps, our so-called “systems” (Post-it calendars, folders for every kid, forms to track late work) become monuments to overthinking—nobody uses them, least of all the students. Host Khristen Massic shares the raw classroom reality of spending an entire summer crafting an absent work policy that flopped in actual practice. The folders sat untouched, while a never-ending line of students still needed explanations.Here's the better way: the core routine for student accountability in this episode is stripped down to what works—students are taught to check the LMS (learning management system) first, then a crate with extra copies organized by period and day, then (and only then) ask you. Why this order matters is simple: it builds self-advocacy, prevents you from becoming the information-retrieval machine, and gives your students the gift of real independence, not just compliance. This method is especially tuned for the complex demands of multi-prep secondary teaching, where you don't have the bandwidth for six different calendars and fleets of note-takers.Every teacher knows the temptation to over-engineer routines in the summer: color-coded folders, elaborate binders, policies for every contingency. On the podcast, Khristen calls this out. When you design systems in July for a classroom that doesn't exist yet, you're solving problems you might never have. The real-world classroom is messy. Students need simple systems that they'll actually use. Host Khristen Massic shows how the minimalist approach—one clear routine, taught and practiced—beats complexity every time.The discussion zeroes in on four key student independence routines every secondary teacher should have down: hall pass procedures, tardy routines, returning absent work, and how to turn in assignments. For example, instead of guilt-tripping students about lateness or absences, Khristen emphasizes avoiding the punitive mindset—roots of these routines are about minimizing classroom disruption and teaching students to handle the basics themselves. That gives you more energy for what really matters.One vivid anecdote brings it all home: despite setting up the intricate absent work system with folders and binders, not a single student used it—and students kept returning for answers anyway. The real breakthrough came when the routine got cut to the bone: LMS, crate, then ask. Host Khristen Massic walks through exactly how to teach and practice this in class, including the overlooked but crucial steps—like simulating an absence so students actually rehearse the routine, not just hear about it. If you're tired of routines that fall apart the first time they're tested, this episode is your new playbook.The message for secondary classroom teachers is clear. If your systems only work when you micromanage every step, you're not building accountability—you're just setting up another rod for your own back. Routines should remove repetitive conversations, not multiply your paperwork. This episode is a must-listen for any teacher who wants to set up independence routines that students can follow with or without you standing at the front. Science teachers, CTE and elective teachers—get ready for even more tailored tips in the upcoming episode focused on lab and tech procedures.If you ever catch yourself scrambling to chase down work, answer the same old absent questions, or feel your patience fraying at questions about what kids missed, this practical, wry, student-centered take is your call to action. In Khristen's words, every time a student navigates the routine without your help, you get a bit of your mental energy back—and that's worth its weight in sanity for secondary teachers.Check yourself: if a student in your class was absent tomorrow, would they know exactly what to do—without asking you? If the answer is “no,” it's time to choose and teach your next routine. Finish something today that makes tomorrow lighter.Stop overbuilding—start teaching for real student accountability. That's how you get your brain (and your lunch break) back. So go raise a little productive hell, teacher.

In America today, STEM and Career and Technical Education (CTE) have become two of the fastest-growing and most important pathways to economic mobility. As employers face increasing workforce shortages in healthcare, technology, advanced manufacturing, and the skilled trades, schools are playing a critical role in preparing students for high-demand careers. According to workforce experts, millions of skilled positions will need to be filled over the coming decade, making career-connected learning more essential than ever. This week, I am joined by Dr. Heather Handler, Program Coordinator for Career and Technical Education, STEM, and Youth Apprenticeships for Cecil County Public Schools. With 18 years of experience as an educator and instructional leader, Dr. Handler has dedicated her career to helping students discover their passions while developing the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing workforce. Beginning her career as a classroom teacher in science, biology, technology, and engineering, Dr. Handler gained firsthand insight into how students learn best through engagement, exploration, and real-world application. Today, she leads initiatives that connect education to industry through innovative STEM programming, robotics education, curriculum development, and youth apprenticeship opportunities. During our conversation, we discuss: • The growing importance of STEM and CTE programs in today's economy • How youth apprenticeships bridge the gap between classroom learning and workforce readiness • Building partnerships between schools, businesses, and community organizations • Emerging trends shaping the future of education and employment • Expanding access to hands-on learning experiences for all students • Preparing the next generation for careers that may not yet exist Dr. Handler shares valuable insights into how educators can inspire curiosity, foster innovation, and create meaningful pathways that empower students to thrive in both higher education and the workforce. Join us for an engaging discussion about the future of learning, workforce development, and the transformative impact of STEM and Career and Technical Education on students, communities, and the economy.

Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview trial lawyers Bill Horton and D'Arcy L.R. Rapp about their Dallas trial of Davis v. NCAA, arising from SMU lineman JT Davis's repeated head impacts from 1955–1959, his later dementia, and a postmortem Boston University diagnosis of stage four CTE after his 2016 death. CASE SUMMARY: They discuss securing a $140 million verdict ($30M compensatory, $110M punitive), the NCAA's historical knowledge of concussion risks through decades of medical literature and internal documents (including a 1933 medical handbook), and how the team simplified complex science and governance evidence using timelines, boards, and themes like control, competitive disadvantage, and “recommendations vs rules.” They address defenses including Alzheimer's, vascular factors, APOE4 genetic predisposition (framed as eggshell plaintiff), statute-of-limitations discovery issues, and trial strategy, cross-examinations, and damages presentation. (READ MORE) GUEST BIOS BILL HORTON: Bill Horton has spent his career fighting for people who the system often overlooks—delivering results that stand among the largest in his field, including a $140 million verdict against the NCAA. Since earning his law degree in 2001, Bill has helped clients across Arkansas and the country secure justice against corporations, insurers, and powerful institutions. His work spans catastrophic injury, wrongful death, trucking litigation, class actions, and complex cases where the stakes are highest. Raised in Van Buren, Arkansas, Bill's path into law was shaped early. “Growing up poor, it became clear that the system wasn't fair for folks like me—and I wanted to change that,” he says. That perspective still drives his work today. (READ MORE) D'Arcy L.R. Rapp: D'Arcy L.R. Rapp is an attorney at Shrader & Associates, LLP. She focuses her practice on mesothelioma, neurodegenerative disease, and toxic exposure. She has more than a decade of experience in fighting for people who have been injured by the negligence of corporations. She is an experienced trial lawyer with an extensive history in mesothelioma cases and has been involved at every stage of litigation, trying cases in more than eleven states.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at some of the big projects that the college has going on on the Booneville campus. Ford highlights the ongoing renovations to the men's residence hall -- White Hall - and the significant improvements taking place to enhance student living spaces. He also discusses the Career Technical Education (CTE) build-out at the former Corinthian building on MS-4, noting the multi-phase approach with the first stage set to begin in late summer or early fall of 2026 to develop new classroom spaces. By relocating a majority of the college's CTE programs to the new facility, additional space will become available on the Booneville campus to expand healthcare programs and increase the number of graduates in high-demand medical fields. Ford also provides an update on the Seth Pounds Auditorium renovation, sharing that contractors are on schedule -- and in some cases ahead -- with completion now anticipated in spring 2027. Ford also discusses the Public Safety Training Center that will make Northeast one of the premier locations for training of public safety officials in the state. In addition, Ford touches on several other campus improvement projects, emphasizing that each carries its own timeline but will ultimately enhance the overall student experience in meaningful ways. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

The keyword phrase “classroom routines and procedures teacher prep didn't cover” is the kind of search every frazzled secondary teacher should be typing into Google—because it's the real stuff you never learned until your first-year meltdown.It's wild how many of us, even after surviving student teaching, can rattle off learning targets and design a killer bellringer but have no idea what happens when students walk through your door with late assignments, finished work, or pressing questions. The biggest rookie move? Watching great teachers for their content and activities, not their routines or classroom management systems. Host Khristen Massic serves up the real talk: it's not rules that save your sanity, it's the unglamorous systems that actually make those policies work.There's a story in this episode too real for any first-year teacher to ignore. Imagine Khristen, proudly assembling those awkward stackable baskets, thinking she'd nailed it just by giving each class a box for their handouts. The flaw? Late work chaos. Assignments poured in late and got mixed in with the rest—leaving her to sort and decipher due dates, calculate deductions on the fly, and generally lose her mind. The paper basket system looked fine to her, but she didn't have a true late work procedure, and that gap cost more time and sanity than anything else. That's the difference between a rule and a working system.The episode makes it clear that “classroom management routines” aren't just about making class run smoothly. They're the backbone of secondary classrooms—think how students enter and exit, handle bathroom breaks, transition between activities, deal with early finishing, and manage classroom materials. You can have great rules and routines, but if students aren't taught, practiced, and reminded of them (not just at the beginning of the year, but again and again), be ready for chaos each time you empty those baskets.Another strong focus is on “student accountability procedures.” This is the Bermuda Triangle for secondary teachers: missing work, late work, clarification on redo opportunities, early finishers, grade checks, and absent students—all those get missed in teacher prep. The right procedure removes repetitive, draining conversations and keeps you from getting sucked into organizational quicksand.“Classroom technology and lab procedures” isn't just jargon—if you're in any kind of elective, CTE, or lab class, these routines are lifesavers. Picture managing devices, tools, or project files with no procedures. That's a daily time-suck you can prevent by mapping out every expectation before a single student walks in.What makes this episode a goldmine for middle and high school teachers is how it doesn't sugarcoat the work: routines need to be explicitly taught, practiced, and retaught all year, not just mentioned once or posted on a wall. The “Secondary Teacher Systems Toolkit” and the call to pick one routine to actually plan—not just have—drives home the difference: good routines aren't about more rules, they're about systems that remove the mental load from your day.If you've ever stared into a pile of unsorted late work and felt like you were drowning, this episode's for you—especially if you teach multiple preps and feel like you're never on top of the logistical details. Khristen's advice isn't theory, it's the kind of practical wisdom you wish you'd known before your first semester ate you alive. You need classroom routines that do the heavy lifting, not just sound good on paper.The challenge is clear: before the next episode, pick one routine—just one—and make sure not only that you have it, but that you know exactly how you'll teach and practice it with your students. Don't leave it to chance and don't settle for chaos. It's not about running your class on personality; it's about building calm through systems that work.Build the kind of classroom where the routines run quietly in the background and your energy goes where it matters—on actual teaching, not detective work. You're not a mindreader or a magician. Teach your routines like your sanity depends on it—because, let's be honest, it does.Systems over stress. That's the rebel move.

This week on Sports Guyz Only, the boys kick things off with a birthday controversy, concussion counts, aging athlete problems, and a debate over whether anyone under 30 can truly appreciate how quickly the body starts betraying you. Cal celebrates another trip around the sun, Gavin accidentally misses the birthday by a day, and the crew somehow ends up discussing CTE before they've even touched sports. From there, it's a full playoff recap as the guys break down the Carolina Hurricanes' dominant Stanley Cup run. They discuss Jordan Staal's unbelievable playoff performance at age 37, whether he's one of the most underrated players of the last two decades, Rod Brind'Amour's growing Carolina legacy, and how the Hurricanes put together one of the most dominant postseason runs of the modern NHL era. Plus, Taylor Hall's redemption story, Brandon Bussey's improbable Finals debut, and why Vegas may have finally run into the one team built to beat them. The conversation shifts to the NBA Finals, where the Knicks capture their first championship in over 50 years. The crew debates whether it was the most competitive gentleman's sweep ever, questions the Spurs' late-game coaching decisions, and dives into Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history. There's also plenty of discussion about Victor Wembanyama's increasingly villainous reputation, Mike Brown's coaching redemption arc, and whether Minnesota may eventually need a new voice leading Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves. Plus: World Cup excitement and Messi's final international run NHL tax advantages and why Florida keeps attracting stars The greatest "what if" playoff scenarios Steve Kerr's all-time unfortunate naming decision Shohei Ohtani gambling conspiracy theories Vikings frustrations and Brian O'Neill debates A chaotic sports trivia showdown that ends with Nathaniel taking the crown As always, it's championship reactions, wild sports hypotheticals, old-man complaints, and enough hockey talk to make Gavin happy for at least one week.

If you're sitting down to plan and your first move is searching for fun projects, let's pump the brakes—you're not alone, but you might be putting the cart before the horse. This mistake is pandemic among secondary teachers, especially if you're building a course from scratch or juggling CTE and electives. That urge to collect shiny activities is strong, but host Khristen Massic is here to steer your planning in a direction that delivers a bigger payoff for your students and your sanity.Many teachers—yes, even the most dedicated—start by looking for what to do, not what students will create or demonstrate. The result? Busy classrooms, energetic students, and a sneaky feeling things are working…until a well-meaning administrator or director asks a pointed question about rigor. Khristen drops a story right from her own teaching life: she built an entire high school course around a “detailed” curriculum, only to realize much too late that it was designed for middle school, not the AP-track kids in her room. The realization landed hardest when she requested equipment, and the CTE director wondered why she was shopping in the wrong aisle.That moment exposed the hole in her planning: she'd never asked what high school students should be able to do in that course. Instead, she'd just grabbed activities and hoped for the best. Sound familiar? This episode is a wake-up call and a practical playbook to make sure you're not just keeping students busy, but actually moving them toward mastery.Stop guessing. The conversation focuses on moving away from “what can I do with my students?” to “what should my students be able to produce?” Secondary classroom teachers, in particular, need this mindset shift. Khristen makes an unpretentious case for starting with outcomes. It doesn't matter whether your point of reference is a curriculum, industry certification, EOC exam breakdowns, or a coffee-fueled late-night brainstorm—what matters is answering the toughest question: What does mastery look like in your class, at the right grade level?Secondary teachers, especially those on their own with a course no one else teaches, know the pain of building benchmarks from scratch. It's hard work. There's often no AP rubric, no group of teammates down the hall, no standardized test to reverse-engineer your units from. You're not just teaching, you're doing curriculum design in the shadows, at night or over the summer, for no extra pay and little recognition. But skipping the step of defining rigorous, age-appropriate outcomes means your “engaging” activities might be missing the mark.Khristen offers a clear, three-question framework: First, what's the actual product or performance students should create by the end of the unit? Second, what do they need to get there—what practice, knowledge, and skills do you have to build? Third, where are students starting from, in terms of what they know, what they can already do, and what misconceptions they might bring? Secondary classrooms are full of wildly different skill sets and backgrounds, and smart teachers don't assume everyone starts from zero.That third question—where are students starting—is the one most teachers skip. Khristen admits she did it for years, defaulting to lowest-common-denominator content or hoping kids would catch up on their own. Sometimes all it takes is a non-scary pre-assessment: sticky notes, a brainstorm, a quick conversation. Knowing your students' starting points keeps you from either boring them with content that's too basic or smacking them with challenges they aren't ready for.The discussion explores the power of making all your classroom activities point toward that ultimate outcome. Labs become essential skills practice. A discussion introduces a concept students will need for the culminating project. Every activity is intentional, not just something you found on a website because you needed anything to fill the hour. Secondary classroom teachers know: When the end product is crystal clear, everything you do serves that goal.One concept discussed was the trap of confusing “busy and engaged” with actual learning. It's easy to celebrate energy and project-building in your room, but if the rigor isn't there, you're selling your students short. When you define the outcome up front, rigor isn't a menu item—it becomes your design criteria. You're not just asking “will this be fun?” but “is this worthy of what my students can actually do?”This episode is for every teacher staring down another year with too many preps, not enough resources, and a passion for giving students more than just hands-on fluff. If you're ready for a smarter, more effective approach to unit planning, Khristen's tough-love message will help you build outcome-first sequences—where every single lesson points toward a worthy product, not just another busy day.Before you lose yourself in a rabbit hole of activities this summer, stop and ask what students will actually produce by the end of the unit. Define it, visualize it, and then plan backward. That's how you build units with real depth, purpose, and excitement—for you and your students. Host Khristen Massic challenges you to make classroom rigor and hands-on learning the same thing—and to never settle for just busyness again.Your secondary classroom deserves more than hustle and hope. Trade activity-chasing for outcome-driven unit planning, and let your students do work that's both fun and truly challenging. Don't just fill days—build something with teeth.Smash “just busy” and level up learning—your students are ready, and so are you.
Experiential learning through travel changes students for good — and Denver science and CTE teacher Angela Cannava proves any teacher can lead it. In this episode of the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast, Angela shares how curriculum-aligned international trips with EF Explore America transformed her students: a forensics lab in Great Britain where they did real DNA fingerprinting, and a Belize Ridge-to-Reef conservation expedition with a midnight bat workshop. She tells the story of a student who barely spoke in three years coming home changed, and a Belize traveler now headed back to work at the conservation NGO he visited on the trip. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why curriculum-aligned travel makes lessons "stick" long after the trip ends - How travel transforms your relationships with students — and the culture of your whole classroom - The two things to nail before your first trip: a diverse chaperone team and clear student expectations - How to make international travel doable on a teacher's schedule by partnering with a tour company - Why the learning ripples out even to the students who stayed home Read the full show notes and resources at https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e942 Sponsor.

Crashing is part of mountain biking but, how much do we really understand about what happens to the brain when we hit our head? On this episode of The Ride Companion, Davi and Olly are joined by HIT Recognition founder Euan Bowen and Sam Reynolds for an eye opening conversation about concussions, head impacts, brain health and the future of safety in MTB. Euan explains how HIT Recognition started as a university project inspired by concussion in rugby, before developing into a head impact monitoring platform now being used across mountain biking, rugby, motocross, ice hockey and more. Sam Reynolds also shares his personal experience with serious concussion, including the crash that left him unable to finish sentences, struggling with noise, forgetting words and wondering whether he would fully recover. He explains why having real data could have helped him make better decisions around competing and recovery. This conversation covers everything from MTB crash culture, to World Cup downhill practice loads, kids in bike parks, helmets, rotational forces, CTE, concussion symptoms, recovery, and why brain health might become as important as training load in action sports.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Community Relations Specialist Liz Calvery talk about the impact Northeast has on students. Ford reflects on the lasting impact of the college experience and what truly matters when students look back on their time at Northeast. Beyond assignments, exams, and late nights of studying, he emphasizes the personal growth that defines a student's journey—finding their voice, building confidence, and discovering strengths they may not have known they possessed. Ford shares how meaningful moments both inside and outside the classroom—from speaking up for the first time to forming friendships and connecting with faculty—shape not only academic success but personal development. He underscores that college is not just about earning a degree, but about learning how to think, adapt, persevere, and grow through challenges, even when that growth is uncomfortable. At its core, Ford explains, the value of a Northeast education lies in preparing students not just for a career, but for life—equipping them with resilience, curiosity, and the ability to keep moving forward when faced with adversity. It is about what students carry with them long after they leave campus: not only knowledge, but character. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

This week on The Hamilton Review Podcast, we are pleased to welcome Lee Schwartz and Geoffrey Schwartz for a compelling conversation about family, football, and the realities of brain health in sports. Lee shares the extraordinary journey of raising two sons who went on to play professional football in the NFL, while Geoffrey offers his perspective as a former NFL player. Together, they provide a candid and insightful look at their experiences, exploring both the rewards and challenges of life in the sport. The discussion also examines CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), a progressive brain disease that has become a significant concern in contact sports. Lee and Geoffrey share valuable insights and practical advice for parents seeking to better protect their children from brain injuries while participating in athletics. In addition, Lee discusses his book, Raising Giants: My Extraordinary Journey with Two NFL Sons, and the lessons he learned along the way. This is a powerful and informative episode of The Hamilton Review Podcast - one that every parent, coach, and sports enthusiast should hear and share. Lee spent his 40+ year professional career as an executive and consultant in manufacturing and distribution. But what he's most proud of is being the father of two outstanding sons, Geoffrey and Mitchell, both of whom played 8+ years in the NFL. Lee's amazing two-decade experience with Geoffrey and Mitchell inspired him to write Raising Giants – My Extraordinary Journey with TWO NFL Sons, a memoir sharing his real-life stories of how love, discipline and vision helped shape his sons into elite athletes—and grounded men. Carrying his passion for football and the lives of his sons forward, Lee has now assumed a role on the West Coast Advisory Board of the Concussion & CTE Foundation (www.concussionandcte.org). CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) is a progressive brain disease, a real-world issue. Thank goodness, Geoffrey and Mitchell show no signs of struggle with mental decline but Lee's been touched by those who have/are struggling and by the impact it has on the sufferers and their families. Lee is proud to raise awareness of CTE, particularly to parents of our youth who wish to participate in youth contact sports, and the work being done by the Concussion & CTE Foundation to find causes, treatments and cures for this horrible disease.

Robert Gallery is a former professional football player and a 2023 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. He played collegiate football at the University of Iowa, earning unanimous All-American honors and the 2003 Outland Trophy. Gallery was selected second overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and played eight seasons in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks. Following his professional career, Gallery experienced mental health challenges associated with repeated head injuries and alcohol dependency. Ibogaine treatment was a significant part of his personal recovery. He co-founded Athletes for Care to support other athletes navigating similar post-career challenges and to advocate for research and awareness around athlete mental health. In this episode, former NFL star Robert Gallery shares how severe CTE symptoms, failed conventional treatments, and suicidal despair led him to medically supervised ibogaine and 5‑MeO‑DMT therapy in Mexico, catalyzing profound neurological, emotional, and spiritual healing and inspiring his Athletes for Care advocacy work.

The Vancouver Canucks officially turned the page by hiring Manny Malhotra as head coach, signalling a commitment to a rebuild centred around accumulating young talent and draft picks rather than chasing short-term success. In Montreal, the Canadiens’ season ended at the hands of Carolina, with an emotional Brendan Gallagher acknowledging that he may have played his final game as a Canadien. The hockey world also lost Claude Lemieux, whose family donated his brain to CTE research; Ray reflected on Lemieux as one of the toughest opponents he ever faced — incredibly strong, relentlessly competitive and built for big moments. Looking ahead to the Stanley Cup Final, Carolina appears to be the strongest version of itself in years thanks to key additions like K’Andre Miller and Nikolaj Ehlers, strong goaltending from Frederik Andersen, and the emergence of Taylor Hall as a leader alongside Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake. On the other side, the Golden Knights have become a rare success story after hiring John Tortorella with just eight games remaining in the regular season, a gamble that has paid off as Vegas has improved with each playoff round.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
