Podcasts about Curriculum

When she discovered the idea of a personal curriculum, today's guest couldn't wait to apply this concept to her reading life. Amy St. Amand, a primary care clinical pharmacist from Rhode Island, wants to know a little bit about a whole lot of things. She's working to build a personal learning plan that encompasses a variety of her assorted interests, and she's here today for Anne's help in developing and refining her selected topics. Anne couldn't wait to hear more about Amy's approach, why this idea resonated with her so much, and her progress so far. After they explore Amy's project, Anne recommends a whole lot of mostly nonfiction books that will help Amy delve deeper into her chosen topics. See the list of titles mentioned today at our show notes page, which you'll find at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/501. If you're a member of our Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club, today's topic may sound familiar in a really fun way. We touched on the idea of a personal curriculum in our recent book club class, A Close Look at Great Books. Among other topics, this class explored our community manager Ginger Horton's ongoing grad school experience focused on a Great Books curriculum, and how you can apply some of those ideas to your own reading life.

In this special episode of The Autism Little Learners Podcast, I'm celebrating 10 years of Sesame Workshop's Autism Initiative and the creation of the beloved character, Julia! I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Kama Einhorn and Dr. Abigail Bucuvalas from Sesame Workshop to talk about the incredible impact of authentic representation, inclusion, and collaboration with the autism community. We dive into how Julia was created to truly reflect the experiences of autistic children and families, the thoughtful research that goes into every Sesame Workshop project, and the global reach of their work. You'll also hear about puppeteer Stacey Gordon—whose personal connection to autism brings such authenticity to Julia's voice—and some exciting new projects on the horizon that continue to celebrate acceptance, understanding, and belonging for all children.

Welcome to the O2X limited series Optimizing Parenthood - A Guide to Leading the Next Generation.Over this 5 episode limited series we will explore the science, strategies, and practical wisdom behind raising healthy, confident, and resilient young adults. Hosted by O2X Vice President of Government Brendan Stickles, this podcast brings together leading experts in sleep science, nutrition, fitness, psychology, and personal development to help parents navigate the complexities of modern parenting.Episode #1 features Dr. Katy Turner who discusses building confidence and resilience within young adults. Dr. Katy Tran Turner is the Manager of Curriculum and Learning Design at O2X, where she is responsible for compiling content, researching relevant background information, and helping create world-class training materials for a variety of clients and events. Additionally, Katy serves as an O2X Mental Performance Specialist, specializing in developing mental skills that optimize performance in high-pressure, fast-paced, and dynamic environments. Her expertise focuses on enhancing decision-making, confidence, self-regulation, and present-moment focus during high-stress performance moments. Dr. Turner served as the mental performance coach for the Buffalo Sabres for five seasons and spent two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, where she contributed to multidisciplinary teams providing holistic support. Before her time with professional athletes in Western New York, Katy worked with soldiers at Fort Bragg, NC, providing mental performance training for tactical athletes. Her experience also includes working in NCAA Division I athletics departments in student-athlete services and supporting a wide range of sports. Dr. Turner holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with a specialization in Sport and Performance Psychology from Florida State University. She also earned a master's degree in Exercise Physiology from Kent State University and undergraduate degrees in Biology and Exercise & Sport Science from UNC-Chapel Hill. Be sure to tune into the following episodes over the following weeks...Episode 1: Dr. Katy Turner on building confidence and resilience within young adults Episode 2: Dr. Jaime Tartar on optimizing sleep schedules for the whole family  Episode 3: Josh Lamont on creating fitness habits in our youthEpisode 4: Dr. Nick Barringer on developing sustainable and healthy eating habitsEpisode 5: Adam La Reau on introducing goal setting and habit building to young adultsBuilding Homes for Heroes:https://www.buildinghomesforheroes.org/Download the O2X Tactical Performance App:app.o2x.comLet us know what you think:Website - http://o2x.comIG - https://instagram.com/o2xhumanperformance?igshid=1kicimx55xt4f 

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!What if the fastest route to a healthier youth ministry isn't writing more, but shepherding more? We sit down with Anne Wilson, Next Gen Pastor at Traders Point Christian Church, to learn the value of buying curriculum, then spending your reclaimed hours pastoring students and training volunteers. Anne shares a practical, month-ahead workflow for taking a solid, gospel-centered series from download to stage—assigning a rotating editor, contextualizing scripts, upgrading small group questions, and leaving room for the Holy Spirit to lead. The payoff is tangible: more time in schools and FCA, stronger leader prep, and holy moments like spontaneous baptisms when hearts are ready.We also pull back the curtain on CIY MOVE's upcoming Kingdom Workers theme. Think Ephesians with a bright, surreal visual world and a reimagined response element that nods to the past without living in it. The film project with a new mission partner threads beautifully through the theme, showing students how vocation and calling intersect in ordinary life. Ephesians 2:10 anchors the message: you are God's handiwork, sent to make everyday spaces sacred—classrooms, shops, studios, and sidelines.If you've wrestled with the stigma of “selling out” by purchasing curriculum, Anne offers a reframing that's both freeing and challenging. Students aren't grading authorship—they're aching for truth and presence. Treat curriculum like worship music: sometimes you write for your house; often you lead with faithful songs others composed. The key is stewardship and context, not copy-paste shortcuts. Leave with a clear process you can adopt tomorrow, a vision for sacred work in everyday places, and a renewed conviction that your best creativity might be spent in conversation, not in a document.

In this episode of The Heiress Podcast, Skye Edmonds shares a powerful reminder that before promotion comes preparation. Using David's story as a prophetic mirror, she reveals what it means to be trained in the field—the hidden seasons where God builds capacity, authority, and character before the crown. Skye unpacks how true Kingdom wealth is born from covenant, not performance, and why both striving for riches and glorifying lack miss the heart of stewardship. If you've ever felt overlooked, delayed, or forgotten in your calling, this conversation will remind you that you're not behind—you're being prepared to reign.------------------CONNECT WITH MEDownload the free Prayer for the Heiress and step into your authority as a daughter, a steward, and a Kingdom builder: https://generous-bird-13350.myflodesk.com/heiressprayerDM me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theheiresspodcast

#229: This isn't your basic gratitude list. In this new format of our monthly reset series—now reimagined as The Monthly Curriculum—we're going way deeper than "three things you're grateful for." Think: rewiring your brain, regulating your nervous system, and attracting the life you want through powerful, embodied gratitude. This episode turns November into a masterclass in living with intention. Josie walks you through your full monthly syllabus: from the reflection questions that matter, to new hot girl habits rooted in presence and awe, to mindset shifts, journaling prompts, and real tools for emotional expansion. You'll learn how to see your life through the eyes of your younger self, how to be grateful for the hard things, and how to actually feel the fullness of your life instead of just checking boxes. Plus: extra credit challenges, book recs, movie assignments, and a major glow-up energy forecast.For Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

What if a single test score isn't telling you what matters most about your readers? We sit down with Dr. Kristen Braatz, AVP of Curriculum and Instruction at Curriculum Associates, to unpack how educators can capture a fuller, more actionable picture of literacy growth.Kristen traces the realities behind stagnant literacy scores and the rising demands of reading in a digital world. We dig into why high-quality curriculum must go beyond comprehension checks to challenge students to analyze, argue, and create. You'll hear how meaningful tasks, like structured discussions, frequent writing, and opportunities to teach ideas back, make thinking visible and reveal true progress. Along with that, we dive into the power of aligning assessment with instruction -- teachers gain time, students get targeted support, and literacy growth shows up both on the page and in real-life tasks.If you're ready to move beyond data for data's sake and toward evidence that drives meaningful reading and writing, this conversation will give you clear steps to start now. Read Kristen's blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blog/measuring-literacyFollow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

In this episode, Dr Shaddai Tembo and Louisa Reeves discuss how speech and language skills are used across each curriculum area. They discuss when planning a curriculum, how important it is for teachers to consider their cohort's abilities to ensure that every child is supported. Louisa talks about the role senior leaders have in creating a communication-focused school culture and how staff are supported with the skills and tools to support the children in the classroom. There is also reference to how educators can advocate for change on the Speech and Language UK website. Practitioners may be interested to learn more about navigating external pressures in education and learning more about the policy and political landscape surrounding language and communication. Louisa gives her views on feeling hopeful for the future, how fast she feels progress is being made and hopes that ministers listen to the charity sector and to families.

"Disgusted, absolutely ridiculous and past being disappointed". Those are just some of the reaction from Principals and teachers to the government's proposed primary school curriculum. The overnight publication of draft curriculums for six learning areas and recent changes to the already-published maths and English curriculums have prompted a virtual revolt by the Principals Federation. It says it does not trust the Education Ministry or Education Minister, Erica Stanford. Education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Government is looking to broaden the social science curriculum, but it's prompted concern from some educators. The Education Minister today unveiled proposed changes to content for Years 1-10, on top of the English and Maths refresh announced earlier. History Teachers' Association chair Craig Thornhill says there's lots of interesting topics being proposed, but no proper structure. "They all seem to be quite free-standing and there's no way for students to join the dots between those topics. The other key concern is the sheer amount of content - for example, students in Year 0-8 are only going to have three hours a week to learn this stuff."

The country's physical education teachers have joined the chorus of opposition to the government's proposed changes to the school curriculum. Managing director of Physical Education New Zealand Heemi McDonald spoke to Corin Dann.

The government has released the full draft of New Zealand's new Year 0 to 10 curriculum as opposition from within the educational sector grows to the proposed changes. Education Minister, Erica Stanford spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Education Minister's hoping the new curriculum will close the education equity gap. Erica Stanford has unveiled proposed changes to content for Years 1-10 on top of the English and Maths refresh announced earlier. The key changes include financial education, and compulsory consent education. Stanford told Mike Hosking that no matter where a child goes to school, they will learn the same thing. She says a consistent curriculum means no matter where or what family kids are from, they get the same knowledge they need to be successful.

Feeling behind? Burnt out? Like the stack of curriculum you bought is staring you down with judgmental eyes? Been there, mama.

In this episode of Roompact's ResEdChat, guest host Dustin Ramsdell chats with Abby Groth, a current Roompact blogger from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln about her unique journey from art museums to residence life and how she's using that perspective to reimagine student support. Abby shares how learning communities, peer mentorship, and early intervention surveys are transforming the student experience and contributing to academic success outside the classroom. She also gets candid about what doesn't work—and why residence life doesn't need to do it all.

I have to be honest with you, because it's been a little while since I sat in the home economics class in Tuakau College - so there is a fair chance that my experience is a little out of date by about 20 years and I might just make a fool of myself with what I'm about to say next. But I do not understand the angst about Erica Stanford dropping home economics from the NCEA curriculum. There is an opinion piece in The Spinoff today, and it's arguing against Erica Stanford removing this 'vital' subject from our school subject list because it's a 'moral decision,' - because, quote, 'everyone deserves to know what's in their food, how it affects their health, and how to make choices that support their overall well-being.' Now, I tend to agree with that. You should know what's going on in your food. But from what I understand, home ec is still being taught and will still be taught to years 9 and 10 in some form or another, that's not going to change. And if you cannot learn in the space of 2 years that you need to eat your fruit and your vegetables and your meat and maybe avoid the processed stuff and the sugar, then I don't have much hope that you're ever gonna learn this stuff. And what's more, we are already one of the most obese nations on this planet. So home economics hasn't done very much for us in helping us to keep ourselves healthy in the last 114 years that it's been around, has it? But also, and I think this is the most important thing, come on - did you actually learn anything in home ec? Libby, who works with us, reckons that in one class, she spent the entire class just learning how to make a sandwich. I remember setting a pot of oil on fire and and then running around with it and being taught how to put the fire out. So I suppose that's semi-helpful, but I also learned how to cut carrots, which, frankly, I should have known anyway. All of this stuff, you can learn at home. Now, home economics strikes me as one of those subjects that the country would be better off dropping altogether and replacing with another session on maths. Don't you agree?

Too little curriculum or too much? Most teachers have experienced one extreme or the other.

Agriculture is notoriously susceptible to the whims of the elements. Farmers and ranchers can see their entire livelihoods turn on one bad hailstorm or ill-timed heat wave, which are more frequent as our planet continues to warm. Today, we'll head to Colorado to hear about an apprenticeship program that's embedding climate literacy into its teachings. But first: the value of the dollar, this morning's web outages, and pain for small- and mid-sized businesses

Agriculture is notoriously susceptible to the whims of the elements.

Today we sit down with Dr. Anita Archer to unpack how clear, compassionate behavior systems transform a room from reactive to ready. The big shift isn't about control; it's about removing guesswork so students know what to do and teachers can teach.To begin, Dr. Archer dives into why behavior management is important. From there, she breaks down how to mapping key activities into simple, teachable expectations. You'll hear routines in action, the power of specific praise, and the art of pre-correction so success is more likely before the first direction is given. If you're feeling overwhelmed tackling behavior management in your own classroom, Dr. Archer talks through a reset plan: pick a date, relaunch core routines, use “Looks Like / Sounds Like” charts, and keep expectations visible for a few days while habits take root. We wrap up with some memorable "Archerisms:" avoid the void for they will fill it; predictability predicts ability; if you expect it, pre-correct it; and teach with passion, manage with compassion. When expectations are explicit, feedback is specific, and routines are predictable, students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn. If you're aiming for fewer disruptions, stronger focus, and great instruction, listen to this episode today.IES Practice Guides: ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/practiceguidesRead the blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blogFollow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

The Curriculum we have in America is dusty in most schools and should be revamped. This hierarchy of teaching poor kids vs rich is the start of classism.

Send us a textIn this episode, Bryson introduces a fresh way of thinking about your curriculum by flipping the script: instead of hunting down songs to teach concepts, what if your repertoire guided the concepts you teach? He breaks down his Repertoire-Based Curriculum Framework: a practical, cyclical approach to choosing, organizing, and using high-quality music that's both authentic and pedagogically powerful. Plus, Bryson shares how you can get hands-on with this approach in the free Repertoire Detective Challenge.

Drs. Lori Moore, Ashleigh Bowman, Candice Selwyn, Bailey Mosley, and Jennifer Anderson describe forensic nursing and why this content is important for prelicensure students to learn: as nurses, they will care for patients who are victims of abuse. The authors integrated forensic nursing concepts throughout their nursing curriculum (1 hour of lecture and experiential activities in each course). The authors share teaching strategies for integrating these concepts into specialty courses (obstetrics and pediatric). Additional strategies and resources are provided in their article.
