Rachel Senior believes that your greatest business meetings are happening in your sleep. In today's episode of The Business of You, Rachel will inspire and educate us on the power of dreams - for personal, professional and spiritual growth. Rachel Senior is a Pastor, an Author, a Songwriter, An Entrepreneur, and a professional Dream Coach. She is the Founder of Business of Dreams and The Dream College. Having been a uniquely gifted dreamer from early childhood, Rachel Senior has come into full awareness, through a number of personal dream encounters and manifested dream interpretations, the power of the Dream to create wealth, to build businesses, to advance corporations, and to save lives! She now takes the charge to activate this power all over the land. Rachel has a Masters in Psychology and an Education Specialist Degree in Curriculum & Instruction. She is the Author of The Business of Dreams: 5 Ways to Maximize the Linear Relationship Between Your Purpose, Your Business and Economic Success, and Your Dreams. She also wrote Hidden Wealth: 4 Things you Did Not Know about the Interrelation Between Wealth and Dreams and  Dreamsmen- The Final Combat.  Take your gifts seriously Rachel's dreams have always been vivid. When she was younger, she felt embarrassed by her classmates' reactions.  Especially when she had a negative or ominous dream about them, she hesitated to inform them. But when dream after dream came true, she began to realize that telling them about her dreams could have helpful implications.  Rachel's dreams are an important reminder that even if something feels weird or socially awkward at first, our gifts are meant to be shared - and the right people will be grateful.  She recalls a time when she dreamt about a young woman she had gone to school with…a decade earlier. She saw the woman giving up on her aspirations of becoming a professional makeup artist, throwing away her makeup and supplies. Nervously, Rachel looked her up on social media. Abandoning her reservations, she messaged the woman. She called her immediately.  This woman had indeed been considering a career change. Depressed and frustrated, she wasn't seeing results from her business. Discouraged by her lack of success, her light was beginning to fade. That's when Rachel's gift changed everything. Rachel talked her off a ledge, convincing her that triumph was closer than she thought. After her call with Rachel, she landed important contracts for her business, became a celebrity makeup artist and gained serious influence in the beauty industry.  How to become a better dreamer Rachel takes her dreams seriously - and she wants to convince you to do the same. She is here to tell you that your dreams are a gift, given to you by a higher power. And that a higher power has big exciting plans for you.  After going on her own dream journey, Rachel takes this podcast as an opportunity to help you become a better dreamer. To begin receiving powerful and life-changing dreams, you must first respect, honor and commit to them.  There are few steps to becoming a better dreamer. First, she recommends treating your sleep like a meeting with God. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, she encourages you to consider this a time of divine communion. Show up to your meeting with the divine with an open heart, casting aside the worries and cares from the previous day.  Rachel suggests that you keep a notebook and pen on your bedside table and be ready to take notes in the morning or whenever you wake up. When you commit consistently to recording your dreams, you're sure to start having more of them.  What do dreams mean for your business? While doing research, Rachel discovered that many entrepreneurs use their dreams to make big important decisions about their businesses - not just historically, but currently. Now, she coaches and hosts corporate seminars to teach Executive Leaders how to use their dream life to launch, expand and grow their businesses.  Using your dreams as a North Star, making intimidating decisions can feel effortless. If you're stuck on how to write your book, what course to launch this year or how to grow your company, it's time for you to get into alignment…in your sleep! Quotes “God absolutely speaks to me in my dreams.” “We've got to pay attention to our dreams.  We're asking all these questions, we don't know what our purpose is, and we have important decisions to make.”     “There was a time when I was like, I'm not telling anybody my dreams! But over time, I had to embrace that they are a gift I can utilize to help people. Even if the dream isn't so good, it can help them prepare so it won't be so bad.” “It was like God was saying, ‘Let me see how disciplined you're going to be with these dreams'! Once I showed that I'm going to write them down and study them, it became easier to remember when I woke up. I write them down, record them or make little notes. You've got to make a habit of remembering them. Dreams don't come through our conscious minds.” “I learned not to ignore my dreams. And in the process of me following my dreams, the downloads became instant. It was happening without me making an effort. I started writing my book. The courses started coming. Just because I said fine, I'll do it!” “What greater way to coach, than through God-given information.” Links mentioned in this episode: Learn more about Business of Dreams and The Dream College at www.businessofdreams.net  Connect with Rachel Senior on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-senior-66b619100/  Follow Rachel Senior on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dreamcoachrachel/  Find Rachel on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100016230313576

This episode features curriculum scholar Dr. William Schubert, Emeritus Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition to his teaching responsibilities at UIC, Dr. Schubert served as Chair of the Department of Curriculum & Instruction, Director of Graduate Studies, Coordinator of the Ph.D. Program in Curriculum Studies, and Coordinator of the M.Ed. in Educational Studies. Among his many scholarly accomplishments is the publication of 17 books and 200 articles and book chapters. He has given over 250 presentations at scholarly and professional organizations.  Dr. Schubert's impressive body of scholarship is housed in the Special Collections Department of the Zach S. Henderson Library at Georgia Southern University. As a Lifetime Fellow of the International Academy of Education, Dr. Schubert continues to pursue his passionate interests in curriculum history, theory, inquiry, and development in both school and non-school contexts.   This episode offers an important window into the history of curriculum thinking by one of the great scholars in the field. During our conversation, Dr. Schubert reflects on his decision to study education; his personal experience with the reconceptualist movement in the field of curriculum; and emerging resistance to past and present forces of conquest and colonialism in the United States and around the world. He elaborates on his concept of “the theory within” which relates to his work on teacher lore and to biographical and autobiographical work of professors of education. Pushing beyond the question of “what is worth knowing,” Dr. Schubert raises questions of what is worth needing, doing, experiencing and wondering.   Among Dr. Schubert's honors is his designation in 2005 as a University Scholar at UIC. In 2004, he received The Lifetime Achievement Award in Curriculum Studies from the American Educational Research Association, and in 2007, he received The Mary Anne Raywid Award for Distinguished Scholarship to the Field of Education. In 2023, he recieved the inaugural William H. Schubert Award for Curricular Speculation from the Society of Professors of Education.

Young children have many different ability levels with math concepts. Understandably, kindergarten and elementary teachers need to reach every student where they are on their learning journey, but it isn't always easy. Dr. Carol Ann Tomlinson, an expert on the topic, gives an overview of how to differentiate math instruction with younger students.  See notes and transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e793 Sponsor: Thank you, eSpark for sponsoring today's show. eSpark is a differentiation and intervention tool that helps teachers of kindergarten through grade five save time by providing ready-to-go, standards-based reading and math activities that students love. eSpark is free for teachers.

In this episode Rich Czyz and I talk about getting creative with professional learning opportunities, how to make professional learning not be too much on teacher's plates, and most importantly how to be a Rogue Leader in your district. Rich is amazing and I am so proud of all that we discuss to keep education fun and meaningful. Rich's insight to professional learning is second to none. This is an amazing listen.   Rich Czyz is an author, educator, and speaker. He started his career as a fifth grade teacher, has served as a Basic Skills teacher, instructional coach, elementary supervisor and Director of Curriculum & Instruction. Rich is currently the Proud Principal of the Yardville Elementary School in NJ and Co-Founder of FourOClockFaculty.com, as well as author of several books including The Four O'Clock Faculty, The Secret Sauce, and his newest book, ROGUE Leader: Make the Rules, Inspire Others, and Take Control of Your Own Professional Development Destiny. Rich is passionate about engaging all stakeholders in meaningful and relevant learning opportunities.   About Rich's new book, Rogue Leader, Make the Rules, Inspire Others and Take Control of Your Own Professional Development Destiny: Known and dreaded by most educators, professional development is often viewed as one more item to tick off the list of obligations that's not necessarily useful or meaningful to teachers. But it doesn't have to be that way! As Czyz argues, “pursuing learning and professional development is the single most important action we can take to hone our craft as educators.” In Rogue Leader, Czyz offers the READI method (relevance, embeddedness, alignment, design, and impact) to assess and improve PD programs. He also offers smart principles and practical advice to jumpstart the practice of professional learning at your institution, building on the ideas introduced in his revolutionary Four O'Clock Faculty. Prepare to go ROGUE! Mentioned in this episode: Rich's book: Rogue Leader: Make the Rules, Inspire Others, and Take Control of Your Own Professional Development Destiny Rich's website: https://fouroclockfaculty.com/ One of the most influential books Rich has ever read: Creative Trespassing by Tania Katan, about people stuck in non creative jobs and how to get creative. ------------------------------------------------------------ If you like what you've heard, please share-out with our friends on social media and tag me.

Maddy told us how she initially registered for the work-based learning program, her experience and how it helped her land the job she currently has as an Emergency Room Technician at Winchester Medical Center. As we wrapped up our conversation, Cynthia reminded business owners about the Department of Labor and Industry's COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard that will begin enforcement on Thursday, August 27, 2020. NOTE:  Virginia is the first state in the nation to establish workplace safety coronavirus. If you are an employer with eleven or more employees and jobs classified as medium risk; or an employer with any number of employees and jobs classified as high or very high risk, you must prepare an Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response Plan and train employees on the practices within 60 days of the effective date of the ETS.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereAs promised, here is our second episode on AAC Basics. If you have listened to any of our other episodes you already know that we are passionate about AAC Implementation. As we covered in our Implementation Plans episode, you could have the most appropriate set of AAC tools in the universe, but if they aren't implemented in a way that supports the needs of the client / student then they are at risk for being abandoned. Our goal for this episode was to try and unpack some realistic barriers to effective implementation.We begin this episode by providing a quick review / discussion of the different personnel roles in AAC based on a great article by Binger et al (2012). We discuss how each of these roles has unique barriers to effective AAC implementation. Finally, we review some strategies for how to overcome the barriers unique to each of these roles. Come join us, be our nerdy friends, and learn a little more about AAC Basics.Learning objectives:Identify barriers for successful implementation across different environmentsIdentify successful strategies across different environments and profilesReferencesBeukelman, D., Ball, L., & Fager, S.

With a Bachelor's Degree in Technology and Curriculum Instruction and a Master's in Technology Integration, Amber Teamann focuses on transparent, collaborative leadership as the principal of Whitt Elementary School in Wylie, Texas. She is one of my dear friends and I am grateful to share her wisdom and energy with you today. Amber Teamann led her team of 70 students and over 600 students and their families through a global pandemic with grace. And in the absence of a pandemic playbook to help when people would panic, the core values of leadership were (and still are): Relationship Communication Authenticity Collaboration Realistic Expectations Connection Faith Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Amber has so many resources to offer educators and administrators as we head into a brand-new school year with unknown conditions to navigate.  Book: Lead with Appreciation Website: Technically Teamann Twitter: @8amber8 Facebook Group: Principals Staff Appreciation & Motivation The blog she mentioned about grace: Expecting vs extending grace as a leader A blog specifically for principals in a pandemic: Strategies to avoid the principal panic in the pandemic
