Improving the transfer experience for students is a high priority for a lot of institutions, and nationally making transfer better is a huge conversation. In this episode, we hear from a faculty member from the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Lauren Schudde, who has conducted research on the transfer process from a 2-year institution to a 4-year institution. In a lively discussion that ranges from systemic inequality to transfer articulations to football weekends, we hear some recommendations for registrars offices and others across institutions about ways to guide transfer students through the process.   Key Takeaways:Transfer students need easy access to publicly accessible (and student-focused) transfer guides that help them determine how the transferability and applicability of their earned credits will advance them toward the goal of earning a bachelor's degree.  Registrar's offices are often responsible for significant parts of a holistic transfer guide: the coding of the degree audit, and the production of the institution's Catalog. Incorporating accurate, up-to-date requirements and policies in a transfer guide is critical for transfer students who might be researching potential transfer destinations.True change with regards to improving the transfer process will need to be a comprehensive adjustment of people's understanding about their responsibilities, the role they play in the process for their institution and in support of transfer students, and may require policy/legislative remedies. Transfer is a huge topic and to better address all of the various topics relating to transfer, AACRAO will be launching a brand new podcast this fall called The Transfer Tea, hosted by Loida Utley. Look for it later this fall!    Hosts:Sarah Reed, RegistrarUniversity of California Hastings College of the LawDoug McKenna, University RegistrarGeorge Mason UniversityGuests:Dr. Lauren SchuddeAssociate Professor, Department of Educational Leadership and PolicyUniversity of Texas at Austinhttps://education.utexas.edu/faculty/lauren_schudde  Additional Resources:AACRAO Re-Envisioning TransferSchudde, L., Bicak, I., & Meghan, S.

Heartily committed to lifelong learning, his most recent degree was an EdS in Educational Leadership from Columbia International University (CIU), following degrees in geology from The College of William and Mary (BS) and the University of South Carolina (MS and PhD), the last two while concurrently working as a full-time mineral resources geologist for the South Carolina Geological Survey.  During that time in South Carolina, he married Dana, and they were blessed with four sons in close succession – all now grown, married, and raising their own broods (13 grandchildren and counting!).

His main research “squeeze” over the last few years has been the great Peripatetic, Theophrastus, a paragon of scholarly virtues that are especially applicable in science education.Show NotesAdrienne interviews master teacher, Dr. Steve Mittwede on the art of teaching science. As an expert in the classroom, Steve brings practical ideas for teachers to consider for good, truth-driven instruction. He discusses in detail how to help students use good language (grammar mode of the trivium) to help them in habits of attending and defining their observations. We also discuss the truth pursuits around the unity of knowledge and how important this is to the foundation of integerated instruction. If truth is a foundation to classical education, then integrating all the "subjects" together ought to matter! His Three Realms of Knowing is a construct he developed about 20 years ago showing students that everything fits together. Some topics in this episode include: What is a good definition of science? How should science text books be used? What are best practices in the art of teaching science? How to engender conversations for good scientific hypothese Why nature study is critical for good science practices with students How scientific thinking can help us integrate and make connections to all truth and reality.  The Law of Noncontradiction Horizontal integration of science with poetry and Socratic inquiry Books & Resources In This EpisodeAristotle's Metaphysics"Learning Scholarly Virtues from Theaphrastus" by Dr. Mittwede, published by SCLOpus Majus by Roger BaconPoems for Science classHymn before Sun-rise, in the Vale of Chamouni By Samuel Taylor ColeridgeI Am Like a Slip of Comet by Gerard Manley HopkinsQuotes that Dr. Mittwede uses in his science classes"Truth, like gold, is not be obtained by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold."- Leo Tolstoy"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.

While not beginning a career as a writer, Dr. Hatcher shares that her journey to the doctorate ended by experiencing a full circle moment and she is now living out her dream, not only as a recipient of a doctorate degree, but also writing and sharing stories as she has long desired to do as a child. While the journey to earning a doctorate degree is not easy, she drops gems on the need for support, committing to the process, and maintaining your relationship after graduation. Dr. Hatcher earned her Doctor of Educational Leadership degree from California State University, Fresno, Master of Art in Organizational Leadership from the University of Phoenix, and BS in Journalism (Magazine/Public Relations) from University of Texas at Austin.

In this episode, we talk with Michelle Cravens who offers her perspective as an educator with many years of experience within different contexts and age levels. At the beginning of the podcast, Cravens shares how an early job at an Animal Shelter had a profound impact on her. At the shelter she cared for animals who had been abandoned and abused.  She learned to nurture them and at times hold them tight as they left the pain of this world behind.  She worked beside Class-D felons who had overwhelming compassion for the animals and an incomparable work ethic. This experience greatly influenced her as she continued to pursue a career in education. She has served as a middle school English/Language Arts teacher, an elementary school counselor, and a Bridge Program teacher in an alternative high school program. Michelle currently is a Middle School Counselor where she works as part of the Instructional Leadership Team in a CSI labeled school with one of the most diverse populations of middle school students in the state of Kentucky.  In her school, 40% of the students are Multiple Language Learners, 56% are considered minority populations, and about 20% qualify for special education.  Close to 80% of the student population fall into a lower socioeconomic status. Michelle is currently completing a Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership at Northern Kentucky University.

Heather is an enrolled member of the Yankton Sioux Tribe with Lineage to Eastern Shoshone, a mom of two amazing boys, queer and bold in her passion to make a positive impact on the next generations. Heather has been involved in equity work her entire life; it's not work that she chose to start at any one specific time. Rather, for Heather, the work of equity is a way of life. Her formal educational training started with an associate degree in Marketing from Southeast Tech in Sioux Falls, SD. From there, she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Project Management from MSUM. After receiving her bachelor's degree, Heather earned her Master's degree in Educational Leadership from MSUM.

In November 2020, Heather was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives for District 4A representing Moorhead, Minnesota. This historic election cannot be underestimated, as she is the first Native LGBTQIA+ woman serving rural Minnesota in the legislature.

The Science of Reading is undergirded by theories of how students learn to read and comprehend text. The theory most often cited is Scarborough's Reading Rope as conceived by Dr. Hollis S. Scarborough. Dr. Scarborough believed that the elements of Word Recognition and the elements of Language Comprehension all weave together into the rope of Reading Comprehension. Just like a true rope, the more strands present and the stronger each strand is, the stronger the rope is. It is surmised that if a student is weaker in one strand, the strength of the other strands can still help the student comprehend what she is reading.In this new podcast series on the Science of Reading - What Every EdLeader Should Know, Dr. Rob Jackson, host of the EdLeader podcast, has one goal, to peel apart the individual strands of reading comprehension and build our shared understanding of what EdLeaders need to know about learning to read.So metaphorically, we grab Scarborough's reading rope and separate the strands of Word Recognition and Language Comprehension. Within the Language Comprehension strands, we find the strand of literacy knowledge.Literacy Knowledge encapsulates the understanding and mastery of print concepts, such as a book's layout. This includes everything from pre-reading skills like turning pages from right to left, reading words on a page from left to right, and top-to-bottom. It also includes more advanced skills like understanding the text features of a nonfiction book like an index, table of contents, and list of exhibits in order to efficiently find information. It also includes concepts like genre and the author's purpose.Join Dr. Jackson as he attempts to peel apart the individual strands of reading comprehension and build our shared understanding of what EdLeaders need to know about learning to read.Show notes are available at: www.drrobjackson.com@Dr_Rob_Jackson@EdLeaderPod

Stephanie Mouritsen Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 71! Meet my friend Stephanie! :) We actually just met in real life, (or IRL as the kids say), but we've been friends online for a very long time. Stephanie is the mother of eight (8!) kids in her personal life, and is an educator for an online school, where she oversees THOUSANDS of kids! Talk about a lot of papers to grade! She was raised in a small agricultural town in northeastern rural Arizona. After marrying her 1st husband at 19, she moved to Utah, where they had three awesome sons. Now, she is remarried to her 2nd (and last) husband, Hugh--who also had three amazing children of his own (a son and two daughters) from his 1st marriage. They have been married to each other for 10 years and have a daughter and son together. As a perpetual student, she earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching and a Masters of Science in Educational Leadership. She has been an educator for over 25 years: a para-educator, a high school teacher (English, Spanish, Yearbook, Interpersonal Communication), a university adjunct professor (something she still does for the Department of Communication at Weber State University), a junior high administrator, and now as a principal for an online school. Stephanie loves to listen to books and podcasts, write, play the piano and sing ,and learn new things (she recently started taking clogging lessons, and learning Danish online). When she grows up (and retires from public education) she wants to be a professional genealogist, write a book, and travel to Denmark and Machu Picchu, Peru. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Produced by KSQD90.7FM KSQD 90.7FM “Be Bold America!” Sunday, August 28, 2022 at 5:00pm (PDT) “It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people.” ~ James Madison In states all over the country, classrooms have become culture war battlegrounds. The National Education Association stated that 55% of America's educators are considering leaving the profession (in Texas it is 70%!). Teachers experience less support from parents, must deal with political rhetoric, potential gun violence, diminishing respect and inferior pay. Watch Florida. It is the canary in the coal mine. As one Florida teacher said of the new state curriculum: “There was this Christian Nationalism philosophy that was just baked into everything that was there.” School teachers and school boards used to focus on educating children, drafting lesson plans, designing curriculum, working with large classroom sizes and dwindling budgets, and maintaining school classrooms and districts. In addition, they now contend with political ideology, gun violence, religion, book banning, taxpayer funded charter schools, dwindling respect, non-commensurate pay, and their peers quitting the profession and leaving those who stay with more to do. As one high school teacher said about what is happening: “It is the biggest attack on freedom in a classroom that I have ever seen.” Interview Guest (picture attached): Dr. Deneen Guss was elected and sworn in as the Monterey County Superintendent of Schools in January 2019 for her first term and will begin her second term of office in January 2023. Dr. Guss is a 35-year veteran educator with a doctorate degree in Educational Leadership. She has been an administrator for over 25 years, and has received numerous awards for her service in education and her service to the community, including the 2021 Ruth Vreeland Memorial Public Official of the Year award. With a lens on community and equity, Dr. Guss is focused on strengthening community engagement and improving educational outcomes.

Joe asks Frederick to explain one of his recent tweets about celebrating small wins. Every school leader needs to hear this.

Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut describes leadership this way, “Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.”That quote really seems to capture the heart of Coast Guard Captain Jennifer Stockwell, Sector Commander of Coast Guard Sector Virginia. There are not many stakes higher than a person's life when their boat has capsized or consequences any more intense than when preparing for the impact of a hurricane. Yet, the groundwork she puts in place helps to ensure that the team she leads is ready to respond in those big stressful moments. Captain Jennifer Stockwell's Command Philosophy is titled, "People first, the rest will follow." She joins Dr. Jackson to discuss how her beliefs about leadership and the role of leadership transcend the organization and is applicable to all leaders, including EdLeaders.

It is the desire and hopes that other leaders who share similar experiences of work/life balance will have a safe, honest platform in which to learn from and express their own personal journeys on how they manage to find harmony (or not) between their professional and personal lives.To learn more about Principal Captain Kirk, visit https://principalcaptainkirk.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/principalcaptainkirk/

“I've seen way too many kids stressed at school, do something bad and think they were bad, it can stop today. Let's start building up our kids. I'll show you how, even when they do the worst thing or act in a horrible way.” ~ Dr. Karin Jakubowski Dr. J, as her students call her, is my guest for this episode. She's a highly accomplished educator and is helping teachers and parents understand what's really driving “bad” behavior in our kids. I never wanted to be the mom of “that kid” but I am. I'm the mom who has the kid that struggles in school, has gotten into fights, been rude to teachers, sent to the principal's office, and more. I used to feel so ashamed and helpless. What I have come to embrace is that school isn't a measure of our kids' worth or intelligence. Sometimes school just isn't the right environment for learning. Karin brings a fresh perspective in solving behavior that's seen as difficult by connecting before correcting behavior. She has seen transformations in behavior by simply connecting, listening, probing a little deeper, giving empathy and finding solutions.

You can make it stronger - intentional and transparent - Voluntary - making it voluntary is having empathy. - listening, aggressive, pursuing. - One of your problems - you look too busy. - I was working; I was being accessible. - Who are you closest to in your school. - Even if my idea is the best, it's not the best if nobody is on board. - Breakfast with Tom - agenda is yours. - Empathetic Conversations - extension of this notion that I really want to get to know people as people, not just teachers. - I know you as a student, I want to know you as a student - Leadership is about relationship. - Teacher observations - school principals should use them as a way to build trust and observations. - Educators are underpaid. - Herzberg's theory of motivation - Teaching is far too siloed - If people can just read one part of the book, what is it? The part about listening. Sponsors Transformative Principal Mastermind Lead a school everyone can be proud of. Being a principal is tough work. You're pulled in all kinds of directions.
