Let's get political folks! As mental health overall has gotten more attention in the media over the last 4 years, so has the very important topic of PMADs, or Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. After the latest CDC findings on the alarming maternal mortality rate, many facets of government are starting to pay attention to mothers and birthing individuals and the toll that pregnancy and child-rearing can take on their mental health.Today, we have a returning guest on the show, Paige Bellenbaum, LCSW. Paige is the Founding Director and Chief External Relations Officer at The Motherhood Center of New York. She discusses the baby steps that are being taken to protect and elevate mothers in NY and America at large, although she points out that it is just a drop in the ocean of change that is required to truly support mothers in this country. She touches on some new research and statistics that have shockingly helped change the narrative on maternal support. We discuss the highly divisive and high-tension topics surrounding motherhood and child care in America during a very heated election year. For 20 years, Paige worked in the non-profit sector, holding senior leadership positions at Hamilton Family Center Homeless Shelter, The Partnership for the Homeless, Habitat for Humanity, and Settlement Housing Fund. She has worked in the field of public policy, advocacy, community organizing and direct practice with disadvantaged communities including homeless families and incarcerated young adults and has held several appointed and elected political positions including the District Leader of Brooklyn's 52nd Assembly District. After her first child was born, Paige suffered from severe postpartum depression and anxiety that nearly ended her life. However, once she began to heal, she became committed to fighting for PMAD education, screening, and treatment so that no more women would have to suffer silently. She drafted legislation in New York State championed by State Senator Liz Krueger, mandating hospitals to provide education on PMADs and strongly encouraging screening of all new and expecting mothers. This bill was signed into law in 2014. She has continued to be an outspoken maternal mental health advocate and clinician and uses her story as a tool for change. Paige works closely with multiple New York City agencies on maternal mental health best practice and policy, including the NYPD, DOHMH's Maternal Hospital Quality Improvement Network, and the Nurse Family Partnership, and the Administration for Children's Services.  She was a member of the NYC Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee and currently sits on the NYS Maternal Mental Health Working Group. She has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, NPR, PBS Newshour, Fortune, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.Connect with her at:themotherhoodcenter.com

While most of the national attention around protests lately has been focused on much larger college campuses, there have been some problems in some high schools as well.

Are we finally at “the get on the train or be left at the station” moment? Our guest today says there's still time: it's okay to breathe. My SECOND conversation with Dr. Nneka McGee was a special one. In addition to being the first guest to return to our conversation, Dr. McGee is a true AI unicorn — a district leader with deep experiences in education (most recently as Chief Academic Officer of San Benito CISD in Texas) and a depth of experiences in Artificial Intelligence well beyond the ChatGPT era. Honestly, this conversation with Nneka was probably one of my favorite conversations on my journey so far — maybe it is because we are talking for the second time or because we've both grown tremendously in our knowledge around AI in education over the past year.

And I think one of the reasons that we're having this moment when lots of folks are talking about how we can be integrators is because we're connectors. We connect to employer partners.”“It doesn't matter whether it's an elementary student, a middle school student, or high school student, if you ask them about knowledge, rarely are they turning to the curriculum that they've been presented with. They're turning to their devices, they're turning to AI, they're turning to all of the options that they have. We shouldn't be surprised that they're also learning how to do a lot of things that we would have gone to classes for—and they're doing it in 15-minute increments on the internet. That's not a bad thing. That's a wonderful thing.”“Accessibility has always been the core of what community college's two-year experience has been for the educational system.” Stay in touch with Dr. Katie Lash:LinkedInStay in touch with Sarah Williamson:Free Case Study GuideSWPR GROUP WebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Chad Bolser:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by ASCD.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.By now it's no secret that the rate in which we are losing teachers across U.S. schools is growing at concerning levels that stand to threaten our existing educational infrastructure as we know it, resulting in dangerously adverse impacts on student growth and achievement.With the current school year coming to a close and the new year on the horizon, the time is now that we restrategize ideas that not only support district and school leaders with short-term solutions to protect their existing workforce, but also begin the work of unpacking conversations about long-overdue, large-scale industry changes and innovations that might improve the face of teaching as a whole and make recruitment efforts once again achievable.In this edWeb podcast, K-12 superintendents and school principals hear directly from a virtual panel of teachers who discuss a variety of just-in-time and eventual strategies for improving educator working conditions designed to reduce attrition and spur greater interest in the K-12 teaching profession. Panelists share:Ideas for short-term strategies that school leaders can tackle most immediately like extending planning, reduction in non-teaching duties, offering teachers opportunities to change assignments, grade levels, roles, etc.Long-term systemic solutions designed for district leaders to consider that are believed to be vital to the future of making education a desirable and sustainable professionNew ideas and innovations in various districts across our nation that are seeing promising results in teacher satisfaction and student performance that they recommend scaling across a broader range of schoolsThis edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders as well as teachers.ASCD A community of empowered equity and instructional warriors who transform vision into practice.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this episode of Build Momentum, Sarah and Katie are joined by Bart Epstein,a Research Associate Professor in the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Virginia. The education entrepreneur was named one of the 30 K-12 IT Influencers to Follow by EdTech Magazine in 2022. He is the founder of the EdTech Evidence Exchange, a board member at ISTE+ASCD,  and a civil test pilot for NASA.Some Questions We Ask:Tell us about your background and journey in education. (00:32)What are your thoughts about the ASU+GSV conference? (01:55)Could you share your research about the EdTech Genome Project and the EdTech Evidence Exchange? (05:31)What are the challenges and opportunities for ISTE+ASCD in relation to AI? (13:38)How do you evaluate tech solutions and recommend them to district leaders? (19:22)How did you build and elevate your own profile, and what are your suggestions for other leaders? (27:09)What are you most hopeful about in the coming year? (34:18)In This Episode, You Will Learn:Bart Epstein's background and journey in education (00:43)His thoughts about ASU+GSV and AI (02:38)All about EdTech Evidence Exchange and the EdTech Genome Project (05:55)Challenges and opportunities for ISTE+ASCD (13:59)Tech solution evaluations and recommendations (19:36)His process for building his own profile and suggestions for other leaders (27:37)His hopes and expectations for the coming year (34:25)Quotes:“I think we're most likely in the coming years to see AI teaching assistants help reduce variability in classrooms in a way that makes whole class lessons more effective for all students.”“At ISTE and ASCD, we are focused on providing educators with the tools and support, and community that they need as they lead this recovery. Quite frankly, they are exhausted, and many of them are working environments in environments where there are teacher shortages. They are heroes who can only operate on fumes for so long. And so we need to collectively find ways to make it as easy as possible for them to get the support that they need.”“AI, when it's done right, like other technologies, should save you a lot of time. And it should free you up to do the things that are most human and most impactful.”“Stay laser-focused on the wants and needs of your intended audience. In a world of endless boring press releases and webinars, the way to stand out, in my experience, is to understand what people want and then give it to them. And if you don't know, ask them! People love to talk about their problems. Ask them what frustrates them, what else have they tried, what would fix their problem, what evidence they'd want to see what change they care about in the world.”“Remember, it's never about you. It's always about them.”“I'm most hopeful that we'll continue to make progress towards learning how to use technology to better support students and teachers. We really need it to perform.”Connect with Bart:LinkedInTwitterStay in touch with Sarah Williamson:Free Case Study GuideWebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Katie Lash:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

Today we visit with Jeff & Alesa Miller, US MIssionaries with the Assemblies of God. They work in the mission of Church Mobilization connecting churches in need with those who can meet those needs.   Jeff & Alesa Miller Jeff & Alesa have known each other for 43 years and will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in June 2023. They pastored for over 30 years before going into their current ministry. The couple have planted churches and served in all sizes of ministries, from tiny churches to mega churches.    Church Mobilization Jeff & Alesa serve as US Missionaries with the Assemblies of God in the Church Mobilization Department. They work with both the Kansas & Oklahoma Assemblies of God Districts to assist them with projects that the churches/ministries in those districts might have. ​They travel, meeting with Pastors, Churches and District Leaders sharing the mission of Church Mobilization.  Church Mobilization covers three aspects: RV volunteers, Church Teams, and Church Development. We simply connect ministries with needs with people that can meet those needs from clerical to construction, While working on projects ourselves as well.     Passion Through the program Jeff and Alesa are passionate about helping local churches be as strong as they can be. They strive to make connections, from Clerical to Construction, and focus on mobilizing the church for ministry.  Some of the connections they have made include: mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, beauticians, dentists, creative designers, website developers, worship leaders, piano players, tech teams, and much more.  They believe in taking the hand of someone a little ahead in your journey and someone a little farther behind you and marching together. This is an example of mentoring at its finest. Every need that a church as we believe is already inside the church walls, it just may be the church down the street or across the state. - Alesa Miller   Rise up Soldiers! Churches are better together. It is time to rise up and be a team of soldiers.  When we think of the harvest, we think, “We've gotta have workers”. Harvest time is when we have to work the hardest. Farmers work the hardest when it is time to harvest the crop. They have a limited time to bring in the harvest and in farming communities you can see neighbors and communities working together to aid in the harvest.  We can learn a lot from this example. It is time to set aside our differences and come together for the good of the Kingdom! How can you step up to use your giftings in a way to help build the Kingdom? In episode 003, I talk about how churches in surrounding communities worked together in unity.We are all striving to reach the same destination. We can all benefit from a little help along the journey! If we are going to see the harvest, we have to have a place to plant the harvest first with fertile soil. We need volunteers to help aid churches in being the best they can be in their neighborhood. If they need a bathroom remodeled, others can step up to help in the construction, painting, and cleaning. While this is happening there may be other members helping with office work or even outreach or children's ministry. Are you willing to pay the price to see one person get to know Jesus?   Is God Calling You? Is God nudging you to step out and do something today? Don't wait for a net to catch you. Trust that God will open the doors that you need Him to.  What is the Holy Spirit prompting you to do? He is asking you” Do you trust me?” Reach out to Jeff & Alesa Miller to find out how you can connect and get involved in the ministry of Mobilizing Churches for Ministry.     Connect with Jeff & Alesa Miller: Website: www.Millers4usmissions.com  Email: millers4usmissions@gmail.com Book: “Behind the Parsonage Walls” by Alesa Miller  Connect with Jacklin:  Effective Ministry Solutions Facebook Effective Ministry Solutions Instagram Preparing the Church for the Harvest Webpage This episode was originally published on effectiveministrysolutions.com/episode017.
