Lured Up Podcast 396 Live Streamed on - 6/9/2026 Publish Date - 6/12/2026 To all the new listeners: WELCOME and THANK YOU for checking out LURED UP! We are back home from GO Fest Chicago and we are both in agreement that this was the best IRL GO Fest that we have ever attended. There is plenty to unpack to back up our sentiment, beginning with how the introduction of different gameplay “Districts” put you right into the gameplay, as soon as you stepped off the plane. It was an amazing feeling to have the event come to life as soon as arriving in Chicago, and the barrage of geo-based Timed Research kept Trainers tied to their games as the grind through a flurry of tasks. Even moving from the airport to our hotel kept us immersed in the game, making the gameboard come to life. If really make Trainers feel like they were looking at an in-game world map at their feet. The geo fencing of districts paired with associated Timed Research had players covering a serious amount of territory. If this is any indication of how IRL events can curate and shape real life gameplay behaviors, than this is just the tip of a very exciting iceberg. We had a full weekend of gameplay, including countless Raids and an insane amount of walking. Both of our Adventure Sync numbers were above 120km. In typical Lured Up fashion, we had stuff going on all weekend. On Friday nights we hosted our meetup at Monk's Pub, the same place as our 2019 meetup. You all SHOWED UP and we had double the turnout than we expected, and we are so grateful to have been able to spend time with all of you. Next year we will need a new venue! Saturday night was Adam's idea, with a Pokémon themed Pop-Punk night. All of the bands on the bill were incredible, with Midway Down headlining and absolutely brought the house down. It was so much fun to hang with the community in that setting. We will absolutely be incorporating live music/entertainment into our plans next year! Finally on Friday we met up with our good friend JT Valor for a final push of Raids at the end of the weekend. In typical Raid Train Fashion, we ended up picking up Trainers at every stop. It was VERY cool to see JT in action. He gives so much of himself to his fans and spends heaps of time with everyone. JT's combination of hardcore gameplay, travel, and approachability is PGO video content at its best. In typical live-service fashion, it seemed that about as soon as we stepped on the airplane to come home, new news was dropping about the events happening through the end of the month. We blast through the news and cover all of the new event info released post-Chicago.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Really Great Reading.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.Language comprehension is foundational to reading, yet it can feel difficult to define and even harder to teach at scale. It begins with oral language and develops over time, with decoding strengthening the pathway to meaning. While frameworks such as Scarborough's Reading Rope and the Simple View of Reading highlight its importance, many districts lack a clear, actionable roadmap for building it across classrooms.Research points to specific skills that distinguish strong comprehenders, including vocabulary knowledge, inference making, syntactic processing, background knowledge, self-regulation, and motivation. This edWeb podcast focuses on how these components come together in instruction, with a deeper look at vocabulary and inference making as high-impact levers for improving comprehension.In this session, you learn:The types of inferences students need to actively construct meaning from textHow vocabulary depth and inference making work together to build understanding across contextsWhat it takes to implement language comprehension instruction effectively across classrooms and districtsThis edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.Really Great ReadingWe Do Big Things for Districts.

School districts across Texas are rapidly closing campuses due to falling public school enrollment, funding shortfalls, and charter school competition. In San Antonio specifically, local districts are pushing forward with recent campus closures and "optimization" plans. What does this trend mean for providing quality public education into the future in Texas?

 Did you know Maine schools must provide at least 175 instructional days each year? While districts set many of their own dates, they also coordinate with career and technical programs, testing schedules, and essential services like transportation and meals. Winter weather can lead to remote learning or make-up days, making local district calendars the best source for families planning ahead. 

Healthcare premiums have become one of the most contentious issues in labor negotiations for California teachers unions this year.

Haverhill Public Schools recently won national recognition as one of 192 districts in 38 states whose students have improved significantly faster in math than peer schools.The award called “Districts on the Rise” is a collaboration of the Harvard University Center for Education Policy Research and the Stanford University Educational Opportunity Project along with faculty at Dartmouth College. Haverhill School Superintendent Margaret Marotta talked recently about the honor on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program. She explained how the Education Scorecard is computed.“They take every school district across the country, all public school districts, and they look at their test scores, they look at their NAEP, the National Educational Progress Assessment, and they look at your standardized test scores and your attendance scores,” Marotta explained.The partnership has produced its Education Scorecard for the last four years. The most recent report analyzed national student achievement trends for approximately 35 million students in grades three to eight, from 2022 through 2025. Eleven states were not included due to data limitations.The Beverly, Braintree, Reading, Scituate and Westfield school systems also received the honor for their students' progress in math. Other Massachusetts schools honored were Cambridge, for both reading and math progress, and Duxbury, Lexington, Mansfield, Plymouth, Salem, Sharon and Weymouth for reading progress.Marotta credited both the adoption of a new math curriculum as well as the hard work of teachers in implementing it for the recognition.“We've been changing up the curriculum, trying to improve things over in the last couple of years, and it is paying off. But it was definitely our teachers and their hard work and learning curve,” Marotta said.Haverhill was also called out by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as a statewide Spotlight District during a recent education conference in Washington, D.C., for its implementation of a new literacy curriculum at the high school. Specifically, DESE said, Haverhill has been effective in providing coaching to high school teachers as they introduce the new reading supports in their classrooms. The coaching has helped the teacher feel more engaged and less overwhelmed, DESE reported.Support the show

Republicans Redrawing America?! Black Districts Targeted Across The South | Habari LiveTonight on Habari Live, Damon and Iesha break down the growing redistricting battle sweeping across the South as Alabama lawmakers push for new congressional primaries while courts fight over voting maps and Black representation. Tennessee, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Virginia are now all at the center of a political war over district lines, voting rights, and control of the U.S. House.The discussion explores how recent court rulings and weakened Voting Rights Act protections are reshaping elections, why Black lawmakers and civil rights activists are sounding the alarm, and whether mid-decade redistricting is being used to dilute Black political power. From protests outside the Alabama Statehouse to lawsuits in Tennessee, Habari Live examines the national implications of these moves and what they could mean for democracy heading into the next election cycle.Are these maps about fairness — or political power?Is Black voting strength being intentionally weakened?And what happens when voters feel like politicians are choosing their districts instead of districts choosing their politicians?

Peabody Award Honoree, ACLU, Emory University, C-Span, Writer, HistorianThe United States Supreme Court decided the redistricting case had significant nationwide implications. In Milligan v. Merrill (now known as Merrill v. Milligan before the Supreme Court), in which LDF is delivering oral arguments, the Court determined Alabama's new congressional map violates the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 by placing Black voters into legislative districts in a way that dilutes their political power.Yet the Alabama State Legislature Decided in July of 2023 Not to Vote for the Supreme Courts decision that Alabama have two minority Legislative Districts even though The Capital of Montgomery & Birmingham are predominately Black.Mid-Decade Redistricting: Following a subsequent Supreme Court decision (Louisiana v. Callais) that altered Section 2 voting rights act enforcement, Alabama Republicans attempted to reinstate a GOP-drawn map that reduced the Black voting-age population.I am a proud resident of the Washington D.C. Metro Area & know of the redistricting process, having learned this issue as a kid thru Gerrymandering.

c1890 SCOTUS

A searchable database of the most consequential decisions This story originally appeared in New York Focus, a nonprofit news publication investigating power in New York. Sign up for its newsletter here. It's two months late, but it's finally here: New York state's $269 billion budget. The big story of this year's budget was the face-off between Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who made "tax the rich" a rallying cry of his campaign. Even as she stumped for Mamdani last fall, Hochul was adamant that she would not raise taxes on the wealthy. In the end, they split the baby. Mamdani didn't get what he most wanted: a tax hike on New York's top earners. But he did get billions of dollars from the state to plug a hole in the city's budget, new funding for child care, and a tax on luxury second homes in New York City, giving him something to burnish his socialist cred. Hochul and Mamdani also had to contend with major federal cuts and threats from President Donald Trump about more pain to come. The governor and mayor have managed to stay on good terms. As the budget neared completion, Mamdani said in a statement that they had "partnered through every step of the process." The budget contains hundreds of new programs and laws. Some of the most important: limits on police collaboration with ICE, a significant weakening of the state's landmark climate law, and removal of a major barrier to new housing statewide. We've pored over thousands of pages of budget documents to make this guide, which will tell you about several dozen of the most important decisions lawmakers made this budget cycle. In the chart below, you can see where each party stood and what made it into the final deal. Below that, you can find written descriptions using the drop-down menus. Happy reading! Total spend: The total sum the state expects to spend over the next year is $269 billion. That's more than what the governor ($260 billion) and Assembly ($266 billion) proposed spending, and nearly what the Senate proposed ($270 billion). Tax the rich? The budget does not hike personal income taxes or corporate taxes, despite a push by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and both legislative chambers. It does extend a pandemic-era corporate tax hike by three years — maintaining the current 7.25 percent rate through 2029. Rainy day fund: While an exact figure for how much money is in the state's rainy day fund isn't public yet, Budget Division spokesperson Tim Ruffinen said it's about $15 billion, roughly the same as when the budget process started. Public pensions: The state's major public sector unions won significant boosts to their workers' pension plans. Public school teachers will now be able to retire at 58 with full pensions. Many public employees will have their pension payments boosted, and their required contributions to the state pension fund lowered. The Department of Budget has estimated that this change will cost $557 million per year. Most of that cost is expected to fall on local governments and school districts, which generally had opposed the change. Foundation Aid: Lawmakers were successful in their push to revise the state's complicated school funding formula to better address the needs of vulnerable student populations. While Governor Kathy Hochul's executive proposal left the Foundation Aid formula unchanged, the final budget adds a new weight for students who are homeless or in foster care and increases funding for English language learners. Districts will also receive a funding boost of at least 2 percent over last year, bringing the total Foundation Aid allocation to $27.4 billion. CUNY funding: Funding for the City University of New York system will stay roughly the same as last year, at $6.7 billion, including over $650 million to support capital projects and infrastructure improvements. Hochul's budget would have allocated $6.4 billion to the system, while the Senate proposed $8.3 billion and the Assembly $15.1 bill...

We're coming to you LIVE from the NWPBIS Conference in Tacoma, WA to explore another PBIS myth. Joining us today are Becky Gawenit and Charisse Elliott.Becky is from Battle Ground Public School District in Battle Ground, WA. She's been a part of that district for the last 18 years as either a school psychologist or as a district MTSS coach. Charisse is a behavior program associate with Salem-Keizer Public Schools in Salem, OR. In her role, she works as an advocate for what teachers, students, and families need by focusing on systems to create supportive, inclusive learning environments. In this installment of our Mythbusters series, we discuss whether districts use the data you submit as a gotcha. We talk about how data work best when they inform the decisions you make, but when you submit those same data to the district, they seem work as a punishment. Charisse and Becky help us understand that finding the middle ground involves trusting relationships, honest coaching, and a culture prioritizing improvement over accountability.

Send us Fan MailDemocracy doesn't usually fail with fireworks. It fails with paperwork, loopholes, court fights, and district lines that quietly turn representation into a strategy game. I read and expand on my Substack piece about gerrymandering and the growing pattern of politicians choosing their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians, using Virginia's redistricting drama as a warning sign for the whole country.We get specific about what “safe districts” do to incentives. When leaders stop fearing general-election voters and start fearing primaries, outrage becomes the business model and compromise becomes a liability. That's how politics turns into performance, and it's also how civic trust dies: not because people can't handle losing, but because they start to believe the outcome was engineered before they ever voted. I also push back on tribal fairness, the habit of calling something corrupt only when the other side benefits.Then I try to lower the temperature and talk repair, not rage. We look at direct democracy reforms and citizen-driven pressure, including the initiative, referendum, and recall, plus modern examples like Michigan's independent redistricting commission, Florida's Amendment 4 on voting rights restoration, and Ohio's hard lesson that passing reform is not the same as enforcing it. Along the way, I take a blunt detour into the Kash Patel controversy and what happens when institutions like the FBI get treated as political instruments.I end where I think the real battle is: trust, hope, and disciplined citizenship.

The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais could be one of—if not the—deciding factor in who controls the House moving forward.The ruling is monumental because it struck down an interpretation of the Voting Rights Act that has, for decades now, forced southern states to draw up congressional maps in a way that maximizes the black vote.If you look at the congressional map, districts in these states have been drawn in strange ways because they've been forced by the courts to connect disparate pockets of black neighborhoods.However, this has just been ruled to be unconstitutional, and the states in question—many of whom actually have Republican state legislatures—are now free for the first time in decades to redraw their congressional maps without concern for the racial makeup of the people living there.The reason this truly matters is that the black vote is overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning. Meaning, the districts in question, the ones that are likely to get redrawn, could be flipped from blue-leaning to red-leaning.Let's unpack this story in three steps: the legal framework that was in place for the past several decades, the Supreme Court's new ruling, and then what this means moving forward—including which specific districts are likely to get amended.

I will speak with a state lawmaker about what's happening there. In Tennessee, the Republican-led legislature has approved a new congressional map that dismantles the state's only majority-Black district.

On Episode 262, Josh, Chris, and Mark discuss the risks of edtech tools that add generative AI without age checks or strong guardrails, share a new K12 SIX resource and rubric for security essentials, and cover email security best practices.

While the region is historically significant for its high-grade gold and silver production, Green said that modern exploration was limited by fragmented property ownership.
