What is a good teacher?Most of us can name a teacher who made a lasting impact, not just through information, but through formation, awakening curiosity, shaping understanding, and building confidence. In this BaseCamp Live episode, host Davies Owens sits down with classical educator and mentor Carrie Eben, co-author of The Good Teacher: 10 Pedagogical Principles That Will Transform Your Teaching, to explore the often-overlooked piece of classical Christian education, how we teach, not only what we teach.Carrie has spent more than 25 years serving in classical education across schools and homeschooling. She is a founding board member at Sager Classical Academy in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and a head mentor for the Searcy Institute Master Teacher Apprenticeship in the Ozark Mountain region. Together, Davies and Carrie discuss why classical schools must often “make” teachers through mentorship and apprenticeship, and why pedagogy matters because the teacher is not merely delivering content, the teacher is shaping the classroom culture and the student's loves.The conversation centers on two foundational principles that set the rhythm for great teaching:Festina Lente, “make haste slowly,” a reminder that learning cannot be rushed. Wonder, contemplation, repetition, and embodied learning take time, and growth happens step by step.Carrie also turns to the importance of assessment, explaining that it should align with the purpose of education and the nature of the student, not simply a score. She highlights relational approaches like narrative assessment, and practical options like narration, oral work, debates, and live demonstrations of understanding, especially in a world navigating new pressures like AI.

It's difficult to let go of curriculums and to see how learning can happen without them. It's not a surprise, it is the way that we were taught, it is the way that most children are taught, and it is the way that gives us some concrete assurance that learning is happening, and our children are moving forwards. When we don't use a curriculum, or our children aren't interested in formal lessons (they want to play all day because they are children) their learning appears chaotic, or it feels impossible to see what they are learning. This chapter describes two models for learning and introduces techniques for mapping learning journeys in unschooled children. It outlines how learning happens without a curriculum, helps parents to see the learning, and provides reassurance that children can live and learn naturally.Including guest appearance from Nicola Leyland who shares her family story in the book and joins me to talk about trusting the process and our child.

As 2025 draws to a close, James and David come together for a wide-ranging Christmas conversation that reflects on a turbulent year in education – and looks ahead to where hope, change, and renewal might yet be found. Kicking off with a powerful metaphor drawn from winter sea swimming, the discussion explores why schools currently feel so ‘choppy', from behaviour and attendance to widening inequality and system-level pressures. Along the way, we reflect on what really matters in education – relationships, belonging, and being known – and why these often get squeezed out by accountability and assessment. The episode revisits key debates sparked by the Curriculum and Assessment Review, including the future of GCSEs, the limits of ‘manageable change', and the uneasy separation of curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy. A detour into restorative justice, inspired by Punch and the story of Jacob Dunne, deepens the conversation about connection, responsibility, and what happens when people are truly seen. The parallels with schooling – and with how society treats its most vulnerable young people – are stark. The episode closes on a hopeful note, spotlighting examples of schools doing brave, relational, and imaginative work within the current system, and outlining plans for the podcast in 2026: fewer trench wars, more light-shining on practice that actually helps children and young people thrive. James also shares upcoming programmes and projects focused on oracy, behaviour, botheredness, and learning beyond subjects – all grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible when we start with relationships and implementation. In this episode, we explore: - Why education feels ‘choppy' – and what the winter swim metaphor reveals - Behaviour, discipline, and the limits of coercive models - Restorative justice, Punch, and the power of being known - What the Curriculum and Assessment Review did – and didn't – make possible - GCSEs, adolescent development, and the problem of high-stakes exams at 16 - Why relationships matter more than systems – and what the evidence says - Examples of hopeful practice already happening in schools - What's next for the podcast in 2026 Support #repod The Rethinking Education podcast is brought to you by Crown House Publishing.

In this episode of Christian Formation and Homeschooling in a Distracted Age, Brendon Naicker examines the crucial difference between simply meeting the requirements of state education and cultivating a Christ-centred worldview through homeschooling networks.Brendon challenges the assumption that education can be neutral, arguing that information alone cannot produce wisdom or discipleship. He unpacks how modern schooling often prioritises achievement, assessment, and employability, while Christian homeschooling offers the opportunity for formation rooted in Scripture, virtue, and Christlikeness.This episode also highlights the role of community through Solavia.UK, a growing Christian homeschooling network designed to support families in academic excellence, biblical formation, and collaborative learning. If you are a parent seeking to place Christ at the centre—not the margins—of your child's education, this episode invites you to reconsider what true learning looks like in the UK today.#ChristianHomeschooling #SolaviaUK #BrendonNaicker #HomeEducationUK #FaithBasedLearning #ChristianFormation #Discipleship #ChristCentredEducation #IntentionalParenting #CounterCulturalParenting #UKHomeschooling #LivingTheology #RaisingDisciples #KingdomEducation #MediaWiseKids #ChristianParents

Dentosophie unterm Weihnachtsbaum: Ganzheitliche Klarheit als Positionierung (mit Dr. Dana Triebel-Regenhardt) Passend zum 24. Dezember spricht Klausi heute mit seiner lieben Freundin und langjährigen Praxispartnerin Dr. Dana Triebel-Regenhardt über ihren spannenden persönlichen und beruflichen Weg. Dana ist von der klassischen, aber schon immer sehr ganzheitlich orientierten Praxis hin zu einer Behandlung gewechselt, die stark auf den Prinzipien der Kairos-Methode und der Dentosophie basiert. Dana definiert, was Ganzheitlichkeit für sie bedeutet: Es geht darum, den Menschen als Ganzes (Körper, Geist, Seele) zu betrachten und festzustellen, ob er gesundheitlich überhaupt in der Lage ist, eine Behandlung zu kompensieren (Kairos = der richtige Moment),. Sie erklärt dir, dass die Dentosophie die Therapie durch die Korrektur der drei normalen Funktionen Atmen, Schlucken und Kauen ermöglicht, was in der klassischen zahnmedizinischen Ausbildung oft nicht gelehrt wird. Außerdem sprechen wir über Danas hybrides Curriculum, mit dem sie Dentosophen ausbildet, und warum die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit Therapeuten essenziell ist. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse in kurzen Schlagzeilen - Ganzheitlichkeit ist der Blick auf den ganzen Menschen: Die Kairos-Methode betrachtet Körper, Geist und Seele integrativ, um zu beurteilen, was gerade das aktuelle Thema des Patienten ist und was er gesundheitlich stemmen kann. - Die Dentosophie fokussiert die Basis der Funktionen: Die Methode stellt die drei zentralen Funktionen Atmen, Schlucken und Kauen in den Mittelpunkt, deren Fehlfunktionen häufig für Probleme (wie Rezidive nach KFO oder CMD) verantwortlich sind. - Klarheit braucht Konsequenz – auch beim Umsatz: Wenn du in deiner Positionierung klar bist, darfst du auch große OPs ablehnen, wenn Patienten die therapeutischen Voraussetzungen (z. B. Vitamin D-Werte) nicht erfüllen; dies schützt dich vor Problemen, falls die Behandlung fehlschlägt. - Dentosophie ist leicht zu integrieren: Die Methode benötigt keine großen Investitionen (wie einen Scanner) und kann sofort spielerisch in die Beratung integriert werden; sie lässt sich mit einfachen Mitteln (Balancer, Fotos) umsetzen. - Interdisziplinarität ist dein Turbo: Arbeite zusammen und lerne von Therapeuten anderer Fachrichtungen, da Themen wie Zungenposition, Muskeltest (Kairos-Methode) oder posturologische Zusammenhänge oft nicht Teil der zahnmedizinischen Ausbildung sind. - Zum Schluss: Wenn du heute noch Thüringer Klöße oder Weißwurst isst,, wünschen wir dir und deinen Lieben ein wunderbares Fest!

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Happy December. Today we are doing a throwback to one of my favorite episodes, all about how to design a small group curriculum that actually works. In this episode, we are getting into the meat and potatoes of small group curriculum. My goal is to make the process simple, realistic, and easy to implement so you can confidently design groups that support your students and meet your counseling goals. When it comes to small group curriculum, you are likely doing one of two things. You may be using activities or curriculum that you have already purchased, such as hard copy books provided by your school or resources from Teachers Pay Teachers. Or you may be creating your own curriculum from scratch because one has not been provided for you. No matter which route you choose, there are six steps you can follow to design a small group curriculum that works. Identify your topic Start by identifying your small group topic using referral data or student needs. For example, you may notice a need for a self control group. Outline your weeks with ASCA aligned objectives Determine the length of your group, typically six to eight weeks. Choose one clear objective for each week. Align each objective with an ASCA mindset and behavior that matches your goal. Once this is complete, type out your weekly outline so you have a clear plan to follow. Select your icebreakers Icebreakers are especially important during the first session to help students feel comfortable and connected. Choose simple activities that build rapport and introduce the group structure. Select your activities Activities are the core of each session. Look closely at your weekly objective and choose an activity that directly supports that skill or concept. This ensures your sessions stay focused and intentional. Select a reflection piece Reflection is a powerful part of student learning. Journals work especially well for small groups. Even five minutes of reflection can help students process what they learned and apply it outside of the session. Create your self assessment Data collection is essential for tailoring your sessions and tracking student progress. Create a self assessment that is based on your weekly objectives so you can measure growth throughout the group. This framework helps you stay organized, intentional, and data driven while creating small groups that truly support your students.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Group Bundle Group Cheat Sheet ASCA Mindset and behaviors Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

What really happens inside a national curriculum review? In this episode, James and David go beyond headlines to explore the thinking, tensions and trade-offs behind England's Curriculum and Assessment Review - with two people who helped shape it. They're joined by Lisa O'Loughlin, Principal and CEO of Nelson and Colne College Group, and Jon Hutchinson, Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development at the Reach Foundation - both panel members of the Curriculum & Assessment Review - who offer rare, first-hand insight into how the review was shaped and why its recommendations landed where they did. This is an honest, wide-ranging discussion about ambition, constraints, evidence, politics, and what ‘high standards for all' actually means in practice. In this conversation, we explore: What it was like to sit on the Curriculum & Assessment Review panel - workload, process, and pressures Why the review focused on evolution rather than revolution The hidden constraints baked into the review - political, practical, and systemic Why post-16 recommendations matter more than many people realise The case for broadening pathways beyond a narrow academic route How oracy and the arts emerged as quiet winners in the final report The limits of assessment reform - and why GCSEs remain so hard to shift How evidence, professional judgement and lived experience were balanced What the review does not do - and why that has frustrated many critics This episode is essential listening for: School and college leaders Teachers and curriculum leads Policy-curious educators Anyone trying to make sense of what the review really changes - and what it doesn't Links Curriculum and Assessment Review - Final Report: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/curriculum-and-assessment-review-final-report Follow Jon - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-hutchinson-b3bbb568/ Follow Lisa - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-o-loughlin-0637b553/ Follow David - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-cameron-72061a15/ Follow James - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjamesmannion Support #repod The Rethinking Education podcast is brought to you by Crown House Publishing.

I am an academic in education, who had experienced an activist environment within the university, and in sports, and who saw that the psychological support for the student was fragmented and replaced with the ulterior motives of disorganized teachers. Curriculum that is bound in woke political activism destroys the natural development and security of the student. When the rights of the student are secondary to the activism of poorly developed adults, entire cultures become broken.

Today we unpack the education experiences of students from the former Soviet Union who have migrated to Canada. My guests are Sarfaroz Niyozov, Stephen Bahry and Max Antony-Newman. For the past few years, they have been working on a research project that has explored the experiences of the high school children with post-Soviet backgrounds in the Greater Toronto Area. The research project strives to improve the education experiences of this under-researched, often misunderstood group of Canadian youth, their parents, and communities who come from the countries of the former Soviet Union. Sarfaroz Niyozov is an Associate Professor in Curriculum, Teaching and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, where Stephen Bahry is a sessional lecturer. Max Antony-Newman is a lecturer in education at the university of Glasgow. Various articles from their research project will soon published.

Paul Blackstone, longtime education operator and founder of SummitLearn, joins Jeremy Au to unpack his path from running a small health-food shop in Australia to leading one of China's largest English-learning organizations and advising education companies worldwide. He shares how early failures taught him to learn fast, why teaching adults unlocked his passion for human development, and how China's boom years shaped his leadership approach. They discuss how culture and discipline drive scale more than perfect products, why schools struggle to build creativity and mindset, and how parents can raise independent kids in an AI-first world. Their conversation explores the tension between academic metrics and behavioral growth, the power of founder-led culture in scaling teams, and why entrepreneurship can thrive both inside companies and in startup life. Paul also reflects on world-schooling his children, building Curio to fill classroom gaps, and why resilient learners will define the next generation. 01:20 Teaching sparks purpose: Paul discovers a powerful energy exchange with adult learners which anchors his lifelong commitment to education. 03:42 Early founder hardship builds awareness: Running a health-food shop from age 24 forces him to confront gaps in knowledge and learn real operational discipline. 07:14 A mis-hire becomes a breakthrough: Rejected as a teacher, Paul is instead hired as center manager and sent to Barcelona which launches his education leadership journey. 12:05 China becomes the rocket ship: Beijing's hypergrowth teaches him how culture, discipline and incentives scale teams faster than perfect pedagogy. 16:31 Performance culture drives results: Paul learns that resilient teams, strong habits and founder-aligned values matter more than any technical playbook. 22:21 Curio fills a missing layer: Seeing schools overlook mindset, creativity and curiosity, he creates a program that develops behavioral skills for children across multiple countries. 26:36 Independence shapes future learners: A year of world-schooling shows him that real-world exposure and discomfort accelerate resilience and academic growth.

What truly sets a classical Christian classroom apart?Curriculum matters, but as Mandi Gerth explains, it is not the only or even the primary driver of formation. A child is shaped day after day by the culture of the classroom, the small liturgies, the tone of the teacher, and the habits that govern transitions, conversations, and even how class begins and ends.Host Davies Owens talks with Mandy about her book Thoroughness and Charm: Cultivating the Habits of a Classical Classroom and about what it means for a teacher to be a “monarch” in the best sense, an authority who orders the room so that students can rest, attend, and delight in learning. They discuss the difference between entertainment and genuine engagement, how joy differs from “fun,” and why liturgy is such a powerful antidote to chaos in both school and home.Mandi also addresses the “3:01 p.m. problem,” naming how easy it is for phones, entertainment, and scattered schedules to undo the formation that happens during the school day. She shares simple habits any family can start, even in just a few minutes a day, to reinforce attention, conversation, and a shared story centered on Christ.

In today's episode, we sit down with STEM Coordinator, and veteran educator, Karen Gauthier to unpack how a problem-based curriculum turns learners into mathematicians who reason, justify, and connect strategies with confidence.Karen traces her 37-year journey from classroom teacher to district leader and explains why shifting to a problem-based math curriculum changed everything. We examine the Try-Discuss Connect routine, showing how rich tasks with multiple entry points invite diverse strategies and deeper understanding. You'll hear what can look like in real classrooms: students choosing tools that make sense to them, partners explaining their thinking before whole-group share-outs, and teachers curating student work to highlight mathematical structure rather than a single “right way.” Karen also shares routines that guarantee equitable discourse, such as structured partnerships with clear roles and timing, so 100% of students answer 100% of the questions. If you want to build student agency, improve transfer, and foster a classroom culture where ideas matter more than steps, this conversation offers concrete moves you can use today.Read the blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blog/Follow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

Today, we're sharing a special live recording of The Disagreement at the Harvard Graduate School of Education*. Our topic: Parents' Rights and K-12 Curriculum. This is our first live recording in a university class, and we are incredibly appreciative of Professor Jim Peyser and his students for having us.This episode was sparked by the judgement in the recent Supreme Court case, Mahmoud v. Taylor (24-297), which ruled in favor of allowing parents to “opt-out” children from lessons that did not align with their religious beliefs. It was a highly controversial ruling and has the potential to reshape U.S. public education on both national and local levels.*A Note: The Harvard Graduate School of Education recently launched the Dialogue Across Differences initiative, which fosters conversations on a wide range of topics from diverse perspectives. Please note that the views and opinions expressed by our guests today are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect those of HGSE or Harvard University.The Questions:To what extent should parents be allowed to opt their children out of K-12 school curriculum and courses?In a pluralistic society, how should decisions about what should—and should not—be part of school curriculum be made and by whom?To what extent is exposing children to views that differ from their religious, cultural, or ideological beliefs an essential component of, or threat to, public education?The GuestsJennifer Berkshire is a writer and co-host of a biweekly podcast on education, policy, and politics, Have You Heard? She teaches a course on the politics of public education at Yale University and, through the Boston College Prison Education Program, is an instructor in a Massachusetts prison. Jennifer is the author of The Education Wars, which examines the impact of the culture wars on the foundation of public education.Naomi Schaefer Riley is a journalist and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. She is the author of several books across a variety of topics, including No Way to Treat a Child: How the Foster Care System, Family Courts, and Racial Activists Are Wrecking Young Lives, and Be the Parent, Please.

You'll learn how to anchor into the moment through ritual, reframe even the most boring tasks into sacred time, and learn why your ability to be present might matter more than anything else for your joy. Plus: journal prompts to help you enjoy your life while you're living it, a movie assignment that might change the way you experience time, book recs, holiday presence playlists, and mindset shifts to help you finish the year with clarity—not burnout.
