Podcasts about Curriculum

Last year there were no female Black students taking college-credit calculus in MMSD. Host Ali Muldrow says that gatekeeping opportunities like this at the high school level is a way to gatekeep future professional opportunities. So it's fitting that on the first day of the school term, Muldrow hosts a Black to School special with scholar, Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings. They discuss racial disparities in education and how society can take responsibility.  While educators and analysts often attribute the racial disparities in education to the “achievement gap” between white students and students of color, Dr. Ladson-Billings prefers to use the term “education debt.” The former term puts the onus on individual children, their families, and even teachers whereas, the latter term signals what society owes Black children. She says that our society owes a debt to Black children and should provide reparations in the form of free healthcare and college education.  Dr. Ladson-Billings is a proponent of an asset-based approach to teaching that centers students' capacities, talents, and culturally-specific experiences. This approach counters the idea that Black students need remediation. They also discuss testing for literacy and math, racial representation of educators, and how Black children are routinely criminalized at school. Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings is Professor Emerita and former Kellner Family Distinguished Professor in Urban Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is a scholar of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Critical Race Theory, and Hip Hop Pedagogies. Featured image of a middle school history class via Flickr (CC BY-NC 2.0).  Did you enjoy this story?

Welcome back to the First of the Month Files for September 2026. This episode opens with well wishes for the month ahead, the kind worth sitting with slowly until they do their own bit of magic. Then we're diving into the personal curriculum, which is back by popular request after a member on our end of month Salon call specifically asked about it and several others chimed in that yes, they had been reading and enjoying it all along. Which is a good reminder. If you think nobody is interested in the thing only you find fascinating: hello pot, meet kettle. Three units for September: Zines and newspapers. This one has taken over completely. We're talking vintage magazine archives, YouTube zine creators, a special stapler, and a very exciting paper project coming to Substack on Friday. Stay tuned. Close reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. The writing craft is extraordinary. If you've never done a close read before, this episode walks through exactly how to do it: three passes, a notebook for beautiful passages, and a section called Noticings. Painting hair with acrylics. The portrait series of women with books on their heads continues. Hands remain on the do-not-attempt list after an incident friends have not let go of. Alternates for when the main units need a rest: Teaching myself calculus. Yes, really. Mary Cassatt and her Japanese-inspired work. And a personal pumpkin bread recipe contest this fall. How to keep track of all of it: A five-subject five-star binder with rings. Old school, analog, inexpensive, and you genuinely cannot beat it. If you're working on your own personal curriculum this season, come find us on Substack and tell us what you're learning. The Tuesday Question community thread is where we gather every week: one question, the same question, and the answers are always worth reading.

“Sapientis est Ordinare: Order in the Thomas Aquinas College Curriculum,” a lecture by Dr. Josef C. Froula (Thomas Aquinas College, New England). Given on August 28, 2026, as part of the 2026-27 St. Vincent de Paul Lecture & Concert Series.

Starting next week, youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will shift from rotating each Sunday between their Young Women or Aaronic Priesthood classes and Sunday School classes to participating in both every week.  Young Men General President Timothy L. Farnes and Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman join Church News editor Jon Ryan Jensen for this episode of the Church News podcast to talk about the way youth can develop into stronger disciples of Jesus Christ through these adjustments.  “It's not just learning, it's about living and becoming lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ,” President Farnes says in the podcast. Hear how he hopes the Sunday change will also effect positive changes in the lives of the rising generation.  The two speak about the changes to the “For the Strength of Youth” guide and how that guide has changed in a way that matches the needs of youth today.  “We would refer to it as a guide for strength, and it's a guide for finding strength in Jesus Christ. Because that's what the youth today need to face everything that they're up against,” President Freeman says in the podcast. “What we're looking for now is much higher and holier than a guide of standards." The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by Rex Warner and Ellie Lewis.

You know those homeschool conversations where someone asks, “What curriculum are you using?” Sometimes it is harmless. Sometimes she is just curious, looking for ideas, or trying to understand what is working for another family. But sometimes that question lands in a tender place. You hear what someone else is using, what level their child is in, what tutorial they joined, how fast they are moving, or how much that mother expects every day—and suddenly your own homeschool starts to look smaller in your mind. In this episode, I'm talking about the pressure that can rise when another family's path starts to feel like the ruler you should use to measure your own. I share a recent conversation with a mother in a very full season who was trying to make wise decisions for the actual children in her home, only to feel deeply criticized by someone whose family and season looked very different from hers. That kind of conversation can make a mother wonder whether she should push harder, add more, or copy a path that does not truly fit. And I want to be clear: structured curriculum, co-ops, tutorials, high expectations, and rigorous homeschooling can be wonderful gifts when they are serving a specific child and family well. This episode is not against structure, challenge, discipline, or asking children to do hard things. But your homeschool does not have to win a conversation. If comparison has been making you question a path that is truly serving your children, this episode will help you slow down, look honestly at what God has placed in front of you, and choose faithfulness over impressiveness. Scripture referenced: Proverbs 3:5–6, ESV: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” This passage is not a promise that every homeschool decision will be obvious, easy, or free from struggle. It is a call to trust the Lord, acknowledge Him in ordinary decisions, and refuse to build our homeschool on fear, appearance, comparison, or our own limited understanding. XOXO, Katie

Memorising vocabulary lists can look like “rigor,” but we've all watched it evaporate the moment the quiz ends. We want word learning that transfers into real reading and real writing, so we brought back our curriculum writer and word study specialist Pat to walk through what actually makes vocabulary instruction stick for middle school ELA students.We dig into the heart of word study: teaching word parts (Latin and Greek roots, prefixes, suffixes, and Old English patterns) so students build a toolkit for tackling unfamiliar academic vocabulary. We also explain why we include a quick review of syllable types across grade levels not to teach “baby phonics,” but to help kids break down and pronounce big multisyllabic words before they chase meaning. That decoding confidence changes everything when students meet new words in novels, tests, and content-area texts.If you want more time back while strengthening vocabulary, decoding, and comprehension, subscribe, share this with an ELA teacher friend, and leave a review so more teachers can find these strategies.

A study of Grade 8 history classrooms in the Northern Cape has found that using indigenous languages can help learners question established historical narratives. Senior Lecturer Simthembile Xeketwana explains how learners used isiXhosa alongside English to explore the Kimberley diamond rush, challenge textbook terminology and consider whose perspectives are missing from the historical record. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions.

She studies why anti-racist professional development in schools so often fails to change how teachers actually treat students — and what works instead. Dr Abby C. Emerson is an assistant professor of Childhood Education at Hunter College, CUNY, where her research spans anti-racist and abolitionist teacher education, restorative justice, and the critique of whiteness in educational spaces. She's been named National Association for Multicultural Education's Critical Teacher of the Year, and this fall she releases her book, From Anti-Racism to Professional Learning for Liberating Schools, with Harvard Education Press. Most schools running anti-racist professional development hit the same wall: teachers learn the theory, reflect on their own bias, update a unit — and the discipline data doesn't move. Dr. Abby C. Emerson studied schools across New York City to find out why, and she found the fix isn't another workshop. It's handing the mic to students.

Are you searching for the "perfect" curriculum for your neurodivergent or twice exceptional child? This week's episode of the podcast dives into why the magical curriculum doesn't exist—and what really matters instead. The conversation focused on practical strategies for adapting curriculum to fit your unique learner, why flexibility is more valuable than aesthetics, and the importance of serving your child—not the other way around. If you've ever felt frustrated by programs that didn't work for your family, this episode is for you! Key Takeaways Curriculum Must Bend: Prioritize flexibility over perfection—choose resources that can adapt to your child's needs, pace, and interests. Serve the Child, Not the Curriculum: The best curriculum is the one you'll actually use and that fits the learner right in front of you—not just what looks good online. Beware of Sunk Costs: Don't stick with something that isn't working just because you spent money on it—adjust, adapt, or move on guilt-free. Support Strengths and Challenges: Aim for tools that nourish your child's gifts while scaffolding their areas of difficulty, instead of sacrificing one for the other. Embrace Rabbit Trails: Value curiosity—let your child follow their interests, knowing that real learning often happens off the prescribed path.

In this episode, I'm sharing what homeschooling six kids looks like for us this year. I'll walk you through our daily rhythm, the curriculum we're using, what my kids are doing independently, and what we're still doing together as a family. I'm also sharing what's working really well right now, what we're still figuring out, and how our homeschool continues to change as my kids get older.

In this episode of the Black Belt Business Podcast, Eliot Marshall sits down with Alex Huddleston to break down Easton's approach to building Jiu Jitsu curricula that helps students understand the art as a complete system instead of a disconnected collection of moves. The conversation covers why beginners often struggle in unstructured classes, how curriculum improves retention, and why students need different levels of instruction as they progress. From fundamentals, intermediate, and advanced class structures, this episode explains why a strong fundamentals program focuses heavily on self-defense and positional understanding, when live training should be introduced, and how intermediate students begin learning the broader game of sport Jiu Jitsu. Eliot and Alex also explain why teaching students to move instead of simply memorizing moves creates a deeper understanding of Jiu Jitsu, how all-levels-only schedules can fail both beginners and advanced students, and why advanced instructors need enough freedom to help students develop their own games rather than simply creating copies of themselves. Most importantly, they discuss why a curriculum should never become a dead document. Jiu Jitsu continues to evolve through competition, experimentation, and new ideas, which means instructors and curriculum must continue evolving with it. If you want to improve student retention, create more consistent classes, develop better instructors, and give students a clearer path from their first day through advanced Jiu Jitsu, this episode breaks down the systems that make it possible.

In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, We start with Genevieve's non-negotiable: teach a writing and thinking framework first. When students learn how to make a claim, back it with evidence, and justify their reasoning, they stop starting from scratch in every unit. That same structure carries into discussions, constructed responses, and essays, whether the text comes from your district textbook or supplemental resources. We also talk about why “teach the standard” beats “finish the pages,” how to use skill-based passages to front load a target skill, and how to turn textbook questions into stronger writing prompts and discussion starters. If you're trying to fit reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary into short class periods, you'll love the “one text does multiple jobs” approach. We break down how to layer routines, reuse the tools that work, and build student independence through consistency. We close with a mindset shift that matters in August and still matters in March: plan for progress, not perfection, and trust that repetition is what creates real growth.

I'm welcoming back filmmaker Simon Esler, who first appeared on this podcast back on episode 54 to discuss his documentary Cut: Daughters of the West. This time, we're diving into his new docuseries You Are Here, which explores the landscape of cognitive warfare—the idea that human cognition itself has become the most contested territory in modern conflict.We start with the chilling case of Barry Neufeld, a Canadian school board trustee who was fined $750,000 for refusing to believe that children can be born trapped in the wrong body—what the judge's ruling called "existential denialism." From there, we explore how Canada's human rights laws and conversion therapy legislation have embedded gender identity ideology into the legal framework, silencing detransitioners and punishing dissenters. Simon and I discuss how our minds are conditioned by narratives we've never examined, how meta-perceptions warp our view of political opponents, and what Iain McGilchrist's work on brain hemispheres reveals about Western cognitive vulnerability. We also get into the concept of cognitive entrenchment, moral inversion, and the historical parallels between modern ideological capture and ancient child sacrifice in Carthage. Simon shares what's next for his series and talks about the Reclaiming Birth Conference, where he's working to empower families to take back sovereignty over pregnancy and birth.Books mentioned in this episode:The Screwtape Letters by C.S. LewisRange: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David EpsteinThe Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchristSimon Esler is a committed defender of families & the lost art of free thought. A winding career path as an actor, theatre maker, ordained minister and mindfulness entrepreneur lead him to becoming a professional content creator & independent filmmaker. His latest docuseries, You Are Here - Reconnaissance for the War on Perception, is now streaming at dauntlessdialogue.com. The rest of Simon's work can be found at simonesler.com, where he hosts an array of films, series, courses & resources focused on leveraging the pressures of modern war to foster personal growth and collective resilience.To partner with Simon's Leaving the Line Studio for content creation, filmmaking, and brand strategy check out his full portfolio.Reclaiming Birth Conference: reclaimingbirthconference.com — a conference in Canada in September focused on empowering families around natural birth; Simon is emceeingX (Twitter): @SimonEslerInstagram: @simon_esler1111Substack: Simon Esler / Subversive Clarity[00:00:00] Start[00:01:27] Cognitive Warfare as the New Battlefield[00:03:10] Barry Neufeld and the SOGI 123 Curriculum[00:05:15] Fined $750K for "Existential Denialism"[00:07:57] Gender Identity as Compelled Religious Belief[00:10:11] Canada's Human Rights Laws and Bill C-16[00:13:18] Gender Identity as a Shield Against Accountability[00:19:17] Detransitioners Silenced in Canada[00:24:33] Recognizing Our Own Cognitive Conditioning[00:28:06] How Media Narratives Mirror Personal Anxiety[00:29:45] Meta-Perceptions and the 400% Violence Gap[00:35:32] What Is Fifth Generation Warfare[00:40:01] Moral Inversion Through Cognitive Manipulation[00:47:25] Cognitive Entrenchment and Thinking Outside Your Domain[00:49:18] When Ideological Capture Endangers Children[00:53:31] Child Sacrifice in Carthage as a Modern Warning[00:59:05] Collective Morality and Centralized Culture[01:02:34] The Reclaiming Birth Movement[01:08:47] Finding Purpose in Defending Free ThoughtROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, Seth, Allyson, and Tami speak with Dr. Nichole Lemmon, Executive Director of Virtual Learning and Strategic Planning at Springfield Public Schools and founder of Launch Virtual Learning — about what it takes to run the only statewide K-12 virtual school in the country inside a public school district. Launch serves more than 400 Missouri districts and 23,000 students annually, with 85% of those students enrolled in just one or two courses at a time, a structure Nichole has maintained deliberately for fifteen years.Together, Seth, Allyson, Tami, and Nichole explore how Missouri's public education funding flows through virtual providers and why roughly $60 million of it is going to out-of-state for-profit companies. They get into the three reasons Launch outperforms the field on state assessments: Missouri-specific curriculum, class sizes that mirror what the state mandates for seated schools, and in-state testing. They talk about what drove the decision to add synchronous instruction after years of building async-first, and what it looked like when Nichole told the governor of Missouri she could put the entire state on her platform in 2020 - and then had to deliver on it. The conversation also covers how Launch now runs direct-to-consumer ad campaigns on Hulu targeting millennial women on Sunday evenings, and why a public school program decided it had to compete on marketing terms with the companies it's trying to outperform.Key TopicsPublic vs. for-profit virtual school funding in MissouriCourse-access model and why 85% of Launch students take one or two classesClass size standards and how Launch mirrors seated school requirementsWhy Launch added synchronous instruction — and what wasn't working without itCOVID-era overextension: saying yes to the governor and the two-year recoveryVirtual special education and medically fragile learnersDirect-to-consumer marketing for a public school programLinks & ResourcesLaunch Virtual Learning: https://launchvirtuallearning.comVirtual Learning Leadership Alliance (VLLA): https://virtuallearningalliance.orgVLLA Accred accreditation program: https://accredved.org/Digital Learning Collaborative (DLAC): https://www.digitallearningcollaborative.comKSMU: Launch Virtual Learning Serves Thousands (May 2025): https://www.ksmu.org/news/2025-05-21/launch-virtual-learning-serves-thousands-from-its-office-in-springfieldPulitzer Center — Cash and Consequences: For-Profit Online Education in Missouri (2021): https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/cash-and-consequences-profit-online-education-missouriPew Charitable Trusts — Virtual Classrooms, Real-World Disparities (Nov 2025): https://www.pew.org/en/research-and-analysis/issue-briefs/2025/11/virtual-classrooms-real-world-disparitiesGuest Bio: Dr. Nichole LemmonDr. Nichole Lemmon is the Executive Director of Virtual Learning and Strategic Planning at Springfield Public Schools in Missouri, where she founded SPS Online in 2011 - now known as Launch Virtual Learning - and grew it into the only statewide K-12 virtual school in the country operating inside a public school district, serving more than 400 districts annually.

No monastery tests you like a Tuesday night disagreement with someone you love.Shadows don't come out all the time — that's why we call them triggers. To trigger something is like pulling the trigger on a gun: a projectile comes out. Your partner's flaws that trigger you most are mirrors of your own unfinished work. You throw a rock into water, you watch the ripples — that's your internal world. The world is as you are. Sometimes purification comes through fire, sometimes through water.

Was bleibt von dir, wenn Erfolg, Anerkennung, Besitz und all die Dinge, über die wir uns so gern definieren, plötzlich nicht mehr da sind?In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit in zwei meiner Träume, die mich ziemlich nachdenklich zurückgelassen haben. Träume über Verlust, über das Außen – und über die Frage, woran wir eigentlich unseren eigenen Wert festmachen.Denn Hand aufs Herz: Es ist leicht, sich wertvoll zu fühlen, wenn alles läuft. Wenn Menschen klatschen. Wenn die Zahlen stimmen. Wenn du gebraucht wirst. Aber was ist, wenn genau das wegfällt?Dann wird es spannend. Und ja, vielleicht auch ein bisschen unangenehm.

What do you do when the school waits until the night before the last day of school to tell you your child is failing — and it turns out they broke his own IEP to do it? Dr. Amy Moore joins Cheryl this week. She's a cognitive psychologist and former teacher who left the classroom to research why struggling kids kept getting missed. She's also raised three sons — now 27, 25, and 21 — all neurodivergent, all homeschooled differently based on what they actually needed. They get into the real story behind pulling her oldest out of school in 6th grade after a last-minute email about 20+ missing assignments his 504 plan should have flagged much earlier. From there, Dr. Amy breaks down the difference between neurodiverse and neurodivergent, why social-emotional learning programs in a classroom of 30 can't replace what happens one-on-one at home, and how to tell if your child is dealing with a content gap or a skill gap when something isn't clicking. You'll hear about: The night her son's school broke its own legal accommodation — and what she did the next morningWhy co-regulation (not curriculum) is the missing piece in most SEL programsHow dual enrollment programs like Colorado Early Colleges let homeschoolers earn college credit for freeWhy a major meta-analysis found a leading reading approach wasn't moving the needle — and what she says actually isHer advice for any parent who's terrified an IEP means they can't homeschoolIf you're staring down a diagnosis, an IEP meeting, or a kid who just isn't clicking with the curriculum you picked — this one's for you.Connect with Dr.Amy:www.thebrainymoms.comwww.amymoorephd.comwww.instagram.com/thebrainymomsReady to homeschool but wondering where to start?

Practicing acupuncture for over fifty years asks us to trust intuition and stay open even when the path ahead isn't clear. But what happens when a life's direction comes not from planning, but from being pulled toward what you love?Judy Worsley is a five element acupuncturist who trained alongside J.R. Worsley for decades, helping shape this medicine's growth into the profession it is today. In this conversation, she joins Michael to explore the tension between certainty and surrender, and how following what feels true can become its own kind of guidance.Listen in as they trace her path from a free-roaming Florida childhood, through law school and a hitchhiking trip across America, to a chance encounter that changed everything; how clarity differs from having all the answers; why difficult moments deserve to be revisited rather than carried; and what it means to spend a lifetime devoted to this work.
