While higher education leaders often cite leadership development as a priority, few institutions treat it as a teachable, measurable skill. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, host Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Scott Cowen about why leadership education should be integrated into the academic curriculum—and how institutions can implement it effectively. President Emeritus of Tulane University, Cowen shares insights from leading the university through Hurricane Katrina and from his new book, Lead and Succeed, which outlines strategies to develop leadership skills in students and early-career professionals. He dispels the “born leader” myth and offers a framework for embedding leadership development at every level of the institution. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, trustees, and academic leaders seeking to build leadership capacity across campus. Topics Covered: Why higher education often fails to treat leadership as a strategic priority How to embed leadership development into the academic curriculum Emotional intelligence and the behavioral traits of effective leaders Leadership lessons from Tulane's post-Katrina recovery Creating institutional systems that reinforce leadership behaviors The role of succession planning in long-term institutional health Real-World Examples Discussed: Tulane University's relocation to Houston and Cowen's daily crisis communication strategy The development of a for-credit leadership course and workbook, Lead and Succeed Mentorship from Dr. Norman Francis, president of Xavier University for 50 years Cowen's “thinking out loud” email updates during crises at Tulane and Case Western Scaling structured leadership practices across institutions Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Formalize leadership education. Establish structured academic courses with measurable outcomes. Integrate mentoring and reflection into the curriculum to build leadership competencies. Develop repeatable crisis leadership practices. Use structured daily meetings and transparent communications to align institutional response during disruption. Implement strategic succession planning. Treat leadership transitions as long-term planning initiatives. Build internal pipelines and normalize leadership exits to support institutional continuity. This episode offers a practical framework for establishing a leadership-ready culture in higher education academic curricula.  Recommended For: Presidents, provosts, deans, academic affairs leaders, trustees, and student success strategists.

Autonomia, zaufanie do nauczycieli i smartfony na lekcjach – tak wygląda szkoła w Estonii. W jaki sposób udaje im się uzyskiwać najlepsze wyniki w teście PISA w Europie opowiada Kristina Kallas, szefowa tamtejszego resortu oświaty. Nie ma dobrej edukacji bez dobrze wynagradzanych nauczycieli – podkreślała w podcaście „Szkoła na nowo” Kristina Kallas, minister edukacji i badań Estonii. Kallas udzieliła nam wywiadu przy okazji uczestnictwa w zorganizowanej w Warszawie przez OECD Global Forum „Education for the Future. Challenges to Curriculum Design and Effective Implementation.” W ostatnich badaniach PISA Estonia była na pierwszym miejscu. Szefowa estońskiej edukacji opowiadała w jaki sposób budowali system edukacyjny po upadku Związku Radzieckiego. – Zaczęliśmy od decentralizacji systemu edukacyjnego. Uważamy, że szkoły powinny mieć szeroką autonomię. Nauczyciele także mają prawo do podejmowania decyzji o tym, w jaki sposób pokierują procesem nauczania w klasie. Uważamy, że najlepszedecyzji pedagogicznie podejmuje się na poziomie dziecka. Ja, jako minister, nie mogę ocenić, jakie potrzeby ma dziecko w poszczególnych klasach – wyjaśnia Kristina Kallas. – Mamy w Estonii 1705 szkół i każda z nich jest inna – dodaje. I tłumaczy, że coraz rzadziej lekcje w formie klasycznych wykładów, częściej w otwartej przestrzeni szkolnej czy wręcz na zewnątrz szkoły. – Byłam zdziwiona, gdy dowiedziałam się, że w Polsce tak trudno zaprosić do szkoły osoby z zewnątrz. W Estonii często zastępujemy nauczycieli ekspertami w danej dziedzinie – mówi Kallas. Szkoła wykorzystuje nowoczesne technologie Bardzo często na lekcjach korzysta się także z nowoczesnych technologii – nie tylko z komputerów, ale także ze smartfonów. Co ciekawe na przerwach w wielu szkołach bywają one zabronione. Chodzi o to, by dzieci nauczyły się rozsądnego korzystania z tych urządzeń. Podczas zajęć dzieci muszą także nauczyć się odróżniania prawdy od fake newsów. – Mamy problem z dezinformacją – mówi Kallas. To wszystko nie byłoby jednak możliwe bez autonomii nauczycieli i zaufania do nich. – W Estonii 85 proc. nauczycieli ma dyplom magistra. Uważamy, że jeśli ktoś ukończył studia pedagogiczne, to wie, w jaki sposób uczyć – mówi Kallas. Ile za to zarabiają? Trochę więcej niż wynosi w tym kraju średnie wynagrodzenie. Mimo to Estończycy mają kłopoty ze znalezieniem chętnych do pracy pedagogów, bo sama praca jest ciężka.

This is your host, Ting Ting, from Las Vegas, and welcome back to another episode of the Everything SPI series. Today, Spencer and I will be discussing the important topic of Teaching and Curriculum Design. Both Spencer and I are thrilled about this episode.We'll start by discussing the types of courses that can be taught utilizing single pitch terrain. Then, we'll dive into our guiding principles, RACK and FIRE. We'll use a case study to explore the “F” in FIRE, which stands for Formulate, in detail.Both Spencer and I are AMGA certified Rock Guides and SPI Providers. We co-taught an SPI course back in October 2023 and found that our teaching style was quite compatible and complimentary. Therefore, we decided to do this podcast series, Everything SPI, to create supplemental material related to the SPI programs.Spencer and I both have deep roots in climbing education. We have over 20 years of field instructing experience and are confident that we can provide valuable insights. We also recognize that the field of climbing instruction is dynamic and we can't possibly know everything. So, if you have any questions, feedback, please reach out to help us improve. Now please enjoy!Things We Talked about:What can we teach utilizing single pitch terrain?Guiding principles – RACK (Risk management, Ask questions, Collect information, Keep it simple)FIRE Overview (Formulate, Implement, Reflect, Enhance)Formulate:Who are the students? Define ratio, prerequisites. (Potential trouble here, students' level are quite different)Course goal, objectives, outcome. Set priority.Structure/visualize the day and write/prepare lesson plansProgression and regression (make sure we have the flexibility to scale up and scale down)Divide and conquer, break the whole course into different sessions and classes. Utilize overlaps, so people practice new skills based on the foundations of learned skills. Many times less is moreHands on practice and mini evaluations – Give students ample opportunities to get hands on. Ask questions to encourage reflection and self-evaluation. Also build in mini evaluation (this will help instructors to know where students are at and when to push to the next phase).Time management (check back with priority list) Pack/gather gearClient harnesses/helmets/shoesProgram ropes (how many??), etc.

In this episode I talk about how fun curriculum writing can be, and how it's such a creative outlet. One of my favorite things about curriculum development is that you get to think about things that are interesting in the world and bring it into the curriculum that you create.I want you to think about when developing curriculum, you get to create what you find interesting and what you want to see out there in the world. As teachers, we can feel really boxed in by what we're told we have to teach or how we have to teach it. So working in curriculum design for me has been really an exploration and freedom. It's why I think more teachers should try it! For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode101.

Student centered norms and classroom design are important to establishing the ownership and engagement we desire. But what about when we get into the day-to-day, actual content area instruction?  Many of our teacher manuals aren't particularly designed to be student-centered, primarily because the big publishers don't know our actual students! There are somethings we can do, though, to adapt our content delivery and activities to be more student-centered: 1. Overlapping our content areas  2. Intentionally using formative assessments and flexibility of pacing 3. Providing opportunities to go deeper, not just move faster    

YOU DID IT!! It is the last episode of our Curriculum Design mini-series and we are wrapping it up with a little extra support with what I think is the most challenging assessment to write, the end-of-unit tests. Now, let's be clear, no assessment is easy to write, and writing tests is NOT for the faint of heart. Of course, I want to give you as many helpful tips as I can, so in today's episode, I am giving you a glimpse into how I write my end-of-unit tests. As I mentioned, writing tests is challenging, and I don't want you diving into this thinking it will be easy peasy because, quite honestly, it won't be. However, I hope that hearing how I create my end-of-unit tests makes it a bit more manageable. In this episode, I am sharing what I recommend you use as a starting point, how I typically break down the types of questions on tests, how I like to divide up my end-of-unit tests, and why it is CRUCIAL you review your tests for bias. I hope you found this mini-series to be incredibly helpful and packed full of useful information! I am so grateful that you are spending your summer with me and preparing for the school year! Next up, we are jumping into classroom management so if you know a teacher friend who you think would love this topic, be sure to spread the love and share the Summer Podcast PD with them!

Huge CONGRATULATIONS, teacher friend! You made it to the final part of our curriculum design mini-series! I am so incredibly proud of you! Even if you only completed part 1, you still made progress, and small progress is better than no progress! We have spent the last few weeks walking through the first four parts of curriculum design, but today, we are diving into how to align your assessments. When I say “align your assessments,” I'm sure many think that means teaching to the test. That is NOT at all what I mean. What it does mean is that we are creating meaning and intentionality with everything we do in our instruction. We want our students to be motivated to complete their work and not just see it as busy work, which is why it is so important to ensure that your assessments are aligned to the learning and instructional activities that took place throughout the unit. In this episode, I'm sharing how I create formative and summative assessments for my curricula and the importance of making sure that every objective on the assessment is covered. I am so grateful that you have been following along with the Summer Podcast PD. If you are getting value from this series or if this podcast is serving you, I would love it if you left a rating and review! This helps me reach and serve more secondary science teachers who could benefit from the podcast. Thank you so much!

Ready for more help with building out the backbone of your curriculum? I'm ready to help! I know that this part might feel hard, and that is totally okay! Although it is one of my favorite parts of designing curriculum, I know that is not the case for everyone. Coming up with instructional activities and resources is not necessarily an easy thing to do, but I will gladly share the behind-the-scenes thought process I go through to help YOU come up with ideas for your own curriculum. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and if designing this curriculum feels hard, please don't feel discouraged! I want to provide you with the support you need to take this on if it is something you want to do. I am sharing how I think through what activities to include for different concepts in my Electrons unit and how I balance out the activities that are included in each unit. And I hope that giving you a glimpse into my thought process is helpful for you as you work through building out the backbone for your own curriculum. Teacher friends, we are already 3 weeks into our double episodes for the Curriculum Design mini-series inside the summer Podcast PD! I hope you are loving all this extra content and getting so much practical information!

We have made it to part 4 of the Curriculum Design mini-series! The first three parts weren't exactly “fun,” I get it! But this is the point in the design process where we get to start being creative, and the process becomes a bit more interesting! BUT, if you have not done steps 1 through 3, it is crucial that you complete them before moving on to part 4 - building out the backbone of your curriculum! Ready to dive into the fun part of curriculum design, teacher friend? Building the backbone of your curriculum means planning out all of your instructional resources - think labs, activities, projects, and all the memorable learning experiences for your students! This is where you get to be creative and think of all the ways you can engage your students in their learning! Now, don't be intimidated and think you need to add tons of activities and labs and projects into your curriculum right away. And, of course, you do not need to figure this all out on your own! In this episode, I am sharing how to approach building out your backbone if you have taught the course before and if you have not taught it before, what I try to include in my units, and my action step for you to work on part 4 of the curriculum design process. If you are loving the Podcast PD or, specifically, the Curriculum Design mini-series, I would so appreciate it if you left a rating and review to help us reach more teacher friends!

We are at the tipping point in our Curriculum Design mini-series! I am so excited that you have worked through this process with me up to this point. So far, we have covered strategizing your sequence and analyzing your aims. If you haven't done that, be sure to complete those steps before moving on to step 3, forming your foundation.So what is a foundation? When I am talking about the foundation for your curriculum, I am talking about the core direct instruction delivery strategy (AKA lecture notes). Now I know that lecture notes and direct instruction have a bad rap, BUT I think I approach them a little differently than what we're all used to. And as I share my process for designing a curriculum for personal use, take what serves you and leave what doesn't! In this episode, I am breaking down my process for forming the foundation of my curriculum. I am sharing why I like using lecture notes, how I build out my .PPTX files, and why I love using Cornell note outlines with my students. I am so grateful you have been joining me in this Summer Podcast PD!

Have you been following along with our Curriculum Design mini-series and need just a little bit more support and context to complete parts 1 and 2? I've got you covered, teacher friend! I know the process of designing a curriculum is A LOT, but if we work through it together, step-by-step, it will make it much more manageable and will be so beneficial in the end! Sometimes when taking on new, big projects, it is helpful to have examples and reference points to guide you along the way. Hearing the practical implementation of these steps can be incredibly helpful as you work your way through the curriculum design process. And because I want to ensure that I am providing you with as much help along the way as I can, I am sharing how I strategized the sequence for my Biology curriculum by thinking through the 10 questions from episode 80 and why it is so crucial and beneficial to do the not so fun work of analyzing your aims like we discussed in episode 81.Designing your own curriculum is a challenge, but I know you're up for it! These first steps are not the most fun parts of the process but are so incredibly important to complete before moving on. I am here to motivate and encourage you if you are finding it hard to take action. So let's get these steps done and continue working through this process together!It's not too late to get your teacher friends in on the Podcast PD!

We are moving on to step two in our curriculum design mini-series! If you did not complete the first step in the process about strategic sequencing, you NEED to go back and start there before tackling step two. This week, we are going to dive into analyzing your aims. Although this isn't the flashiest or most fun part of the process, it is crucial to designing your curriculum. I am walking you through how to analyze your aims, step by step, and covering why you need to accurately identify what standards you need to use, the importance of finding out if there are any specific materials you need to follow, and why you need to translate your standards into practical objectives. This may be a part of the curriculum design process you want to skip over, but you NEED to do this. This step is so important - you need to learn what you need to be teaching and to what depth you need to teach it! And if you still need a little help, be sure to tune in to episode 82 where we will be covering examples of how I did this in one of my units!Make sure you don't miss a single episode of the summer Podcast PD!

You asked for it so I'm going to give you what you want! One of the most frequent requests I get is for my curriculum design process. What better time to break down my process for you than during our Summer Podcast PD!? We are kicking off our curriculum design series by starting with the absolute first thing you need to do when designing a curriculum to use in your classroom. Whether you are trying to figure out what to teach in a prep you have nothing for, or you have curricula for all your preps, you are going to walk away from this series knowing how to write a curriculum for you to use in your own classroom because I am breaking down my process step-by-step. In this episode, I am sharing what this series is and what it is not, how to best use this series to achieve your goals, the importance of strategizing your sequence, and what action step you can take today to get started creating your own curriculum. Not sure how to strategize your sequence? Think through these 10 questions:What overall themes do I want to thread throughout my entire course?What are the hardest topics traditionally for students?What are the hardest times of year you typically experience for yourself?Does it make more sense to go macro to micro? Or micro to macro?Are there any units that HAVE to be taught in a certain sequence?Are there any units (or concepts within units) that might make more sense taught in a different order?What units best lend themselves to spring weather and getting students outside?What units naturally have some fun projects in them that would be great for ending the year with?Which unit in my course BEST ties all the other units together? Is the sequence I have been using really effective or are there changes I could make to improve it?Resources Mentioned:Sign up for the FREE Summer Podcast PDDownload your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Send me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode80

Then, Alfredo shares his research on early childhood creativity in Hong Kong kindergarteners, detailing the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western education.   “We are making progress, schools are slowly learning, teachers are slowly improving and getting more and more pedagogical ideas, but there is still a lot of work to do.” – Dr. Alfredo Bautista   Alfredo highlights the roles of structure and freedom in early childhood curriculums and shares his fascinating opinion on whether kindergarten should be play-based or academics-based.    Plus, the trio shines light on the importance of recognizing your values as a parent and being able to decide what type of education your child needs, as they do in Hong Kong - yet in the US, there are barriers to choosing your child's educational environment. Tune in to learn more!   Alfredo's Tips for Teachers and Parents (Preschool/Kindergarten): Creativity emerges when there is some sort of framework. It's important to learn how to design activities that provide a framework and give children the freedom to complete that framework in different ways. Design activities that require exploration and experimentation. Have discussions with colleagues and other parents about what they understand creativity to be.  Eager to bring more creativity into your home or classroom?  Access a variety of creativity resources and tools & listen to more episodes of The Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast by visiting our website,  www.CreativityandEducation.com.   Subscribe to our monthly newsletter!   Have a question?

In this episode, we explore the art of instructing yoga. It's something yoga teachers do every single time we enter a class. Yet, many yoga teachers struggle with getting comfortable, or skillful at instructing. Because we have to take what we have as experience in our bodies and being. Make it coherent for someone else. While this sounds straightforward, it's not. Arundhati interviews Christina Sell. A long-time yoga teacher and student. The conversation goes deep into the "art of instructing yoga".
