In this final special episode of our nasen award winner series, Clare Brun shares her experiences and insights as the Teacher of the Year, highlighting her work at Holyrood Academy and the transformative impact of their enhanced learning provision. Throughout the discussion, Clare emphasises the importance of support, collaboration, and strong relationships within the school community.  She explains how her dedication to inspiring both students and colleagues has led to a successful learning environment for all, particularly for students with special educational needs. Clare recounts her own journey, from working in primary education to leading the enhanced learning provision, where she focuses on individualised support and integration with mainstream classes.  The conversation highlights the challenges and strategies of creating an inclusive educational environment, such as maintaining consistent routines and effective communication with staff and parents. Clare discusses how establishing trust and understanding among teachers and students can lead to better learning outcomes, allowing students to thrive academically and socially.  About Clare I was a primary school for 22 years. I started at Holyrood Academy in 2022 when they advertised for a primary teacher to lead their new provision for Year 7 students with cognition and learning needs. This is an initiative led by Somerset County Council. Alongside the SENDco, Educational Psychologist and the headteacher, I set up the Enhanced Learning Provision which now supports students in Year 7, 8 and 9. An ELP sits within a mainstream secondary school and delivers tailored and high-quality teaching to pupils with SEND who are working at very low curriculum levels or who may have other identified needs which makes them more vulnerable than their peers at transition. Details of this provision can be found on the Somerset County Website.  I then won the Nasen Teacher of Year in Nov 2024.  Contact Clare https://www.facebook.com/holyroodacademyfb https://x.com/HolyroodAcademy  cbrun@holyrood.bep.ac  https://holyrood.bep.ac/  Useful Links nasen website nasen events and CPD nasen live conference  nasen Awards   B Squared Website – www.bsquared.co.uk  Meeting with Dale to find out about B Squared - https://calendly.com/b-squared-team/overview-of-b-squared-sendcast  Email Dale – dale@bsquared.co.uk  Subscribe to the SENDcast - https://www.thesendcast.com/subscribe   The SENDcast is powered by B Squared We have been involved with Special Educational Needs for over 25 years, helping show the small steps of progress pupils with SEND make.

⭐️ Join the School for School Counselors Mastermind to build a "stress-less" careerIn this episode of the School for School Counselors podcast, host Steph Johnson addresses an issue many school counselors face: the overwhelming number of "urgent" student requests. She argues that constantly "saving the day" might actually hurt student development and introduces a framework for triaging student concerns. Drawing on research by Ryan and Deci on self-determination theory, she emphasizes the importance of fostering student autonomy for psychological well-being. Steph outlines key questions counselors can use to decide when to intervene or step back, aiming to balance immediate support needs with opportunities for student growth. The episode also touches on strategies for explaining this approach to school staff, keeping professional fluency, and joining the School for School Counselors Mastermind group to discuss and refine these practices.00:00 Introduction: The Overwhelmed School Counselor00:49 Welcome to the Podcast01:48 The Problem with Being a Superhero Counselor07:13 The Importance of Student Autonomy13:03 A Framework for Triage in School Counseling20:15 Implementing Autonomy Supportive Strategies28:45 Building Professional Fluency30:37 Conclusion and ResourcesLink to Decision-Making Question List**********************************Resources:Eagle, J.

People love stories of child prodigies, whether they're excelling in academic studies, sports, or arts and entertainment. But children who are gifted face challenges when it comes to fitting in with the rest of society, or meeting the expectations of conventional education systems. Dr Rajini Sarvananthan, Consultant Developmental Paediatrician, and Tan Cheng Yi, Educational Psychologist, join us to explore the spectrum of abilities that gifted children have, including twice-exceptional children.Image credit: Shutterstock

It's that time of year when hundreds of thousands of South African matric students are facing down their final school exams.

One neuroscience expert claims Kiwi kids who spend too much time on their devices have developed behaviours that mimic ADHD.  This comes as teachers are forced to adapt their teaching methods as children display behavioural issues as a result of excess screentime. Educational psychologist and neuroscience trainer Kathryn Berkett says these kids are unable to concentrate or sit still - which are behaviours experts use to diagnose ADHD. "We're never letting our kids spend time without external stimulation into their brains." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are delighted to have the great Koreen Pagano join the podcast for the furthering conversation on skills. We get Koreen's perspective and definition of skills.  Matt alludes to the earlier LDA Podcast, The “What the Skills” Episode with Paul Kirschner, as well as the research work he did with John Sweller and Richard Clark published in their article: Kirschner, P.A., Sweller, J., & Clark, R.E. (2006). Why minimal guidance during instruction does not work: An analysis of the failure of constructivist discovery, problem-based, experiential, and inquiry-based teaching. Educational Psychologist. 41(2), 75-86. In the episode, we dig into whether one can teach, and how one can teach, conflict resolution, critical thinking, and even tease the subject of teaching leadership. The debate really gets playfully heated when they talk about critical thinking. Clark uses the famous phrase, “yes… and…” Matt references the great improv in business practitioner, Kat Koppett. Her first book, Training to Imagine is a great source to go into yes, anding… in more depth. Matt references evolutionary skills and brings up the references from Sweller: Sweller, J. (2016). Cognitive Load Theory: What We Learn and How We Learn. In M. Spector, B. Lockee, & M. Childress (Eds.), Learning, design, and technology (pp. 1–28). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-17727-4_50-1 And Geary Geary, D. C. (2008). An evolutionarily informed education science. Educational Psychologist, 43(4), 179–195. https://doi.org/10.1080/00461520802392133 We discuss what it means to master skills, and develop automation. We also explore how to assess whether a person has a skill or the potential to develop a skill. We debate transferability and whether skills— especially complex skills need be taught within a contextual domain. Matt argues yes. Koreen argues no. Clark argues “It depends.” They also debate whether, and how much, talent plays into skill development. Heck… is talent even a thing? The big argument centers around Carnegie Hall and playing golf! And of course, Anders Ericsson is a part of the conversation. Ericsson, K. A., & Charness, N. (1994). Expert performance: Its structure and acquisition. American Psychologist, 49: 725–747. Matt referenced the Human Development expert, Richard Lerner. Koreen references the hostage negotiator, Chris Voss and his book, Never Split the Difference. And we even debate how transferrable the skill of game design is! And we talked about so much more!!! Of course, we run out of time because we had so much fun chatting with Koreen… that we didn't get to Best and Worst! Next time… and Koreen will be back!

What role does our evolutionary history play in how we learn? Is it even useful to look and try to determine what's «natural» for us humans? In what way does our biology determine what is good for us? Did evolution «design» us to be happy? What is evolutionary mismatch? What sort of skills require explicit instruction? How do we balance this need with the developmental need for autonomy and independence, which kids in our current culture get less of than before? Why is it developmentally useful to be cognitively immature, and why are young kids natural optimists?  These and many other questions are discussed in this episode, where Lars talks to David F. Bjorklund about his work on human development and evolutionary psychology. We also discuss some of the work of other researchers in the field, like David C. Geary and his distinction between biologically primary and secondary abilities, as well as some of Peter Gray's positions on learning, autonomy, age mixing and mental health.  David F. Bjorklund is a professor of psychology at Florida Atlantic University. For more info, see: https://psy.fau.edu/people/dbjorklu.php Recommendations: David F. Bjorklund. (2020).

Today's Life Question of The Week comes from someone who is grappling with their feelings towards two male family members who have been emotionally and physically abusive towards women, including the women in their family, and how to navigate their relationship with them.  Next, Michael welcomes Hazel Ortega. Hazel is a Master of Miracles, a serial entrepreneur, and an Educational Psychologist specializing in Vocational Rehabilitation. She is the author of the extraordinary memoir, "From Bounced Checks to Private Jets: The Mastery of Miracles," where she shares her inspiring journey of transforming her life and creating success for herself and her family.

She is dedicated to helping others rise above their circumstances and achieve extraordinary results. During their extraordinary conversation, Michael and Hazel discuss: –Hazel's intense childhood growing up in downtown Los Angeles on welfare surrounded by poverty, gang violence, and death, and how that became her “sob story” –The ‘Pushy Angel' who came into Hazel's life and encouraged her to finish school, get an advanced degree, become a psychologist, and ultimately start the Ortega Counseling Center in her garage, which has now served over 45,000 individuals to date –How Hazel released her “sob story” and developed a miracle mindset that expanded her vision for her life beyond what she knew was possible, allowing her to become a successful business owner, speaker, and entrepreneur, heal her troubled relationship with her sisters, and find and marry her wonderful husband of 14 years –Hazel's philanthropic work as the founder of High Tide Global Foundation which is committed to bringing educational opportunities to the most impoverished and at-risk communities in the world.  –The importance of asking for, and receiving, help in manifesting your miracle vision – and so much more!

A common struggle for parents and families is how to help their children understand their developmental and learning differences. For some parents, they don't want to have the conversation at all. But today's guest not only explains why it is important for a child to understand their brain, but the language we can use to start shifting a negative narrative. Dr. Liz Angoff is an Educational Psychologist who provides assessment and consultation services to children and their families. She is also the author of the Brain Building Books, tools for engaging children in understanding their learning and developmental differences as part of the assessment process. In our conversation today, Dr. Angoff shares the language and strategies she uses with the children and adolescents she works with to help them understand their strengths and struggles with the perfect balance to normalize and validate it all.   Show Notes: [2:22] - Kids know that they are different in some way and it shouldn't be kept a secret from them. [3:38] - When kids don't have the understanding of the way their brains work, they create their own narrative, which is often negative. [4:52] - When we can be realistic and transparent with kids, they can shift this narrative. [6:17] - The vast majority of the kids that Dr. Angoff works with express relief when they learn about their differences. [7:10] - Striking the balance means acknowledging both strengths and areas of struggle. [8:19] - Dr. Angoff shares a metaphor that helps kids understand how their brains work. [10:43] - This language normalizes always having something to work on and the process of learning new things. [12:53] - Kids need to understand that all adults also have ongoing construction projects as we are all always learning. [14:16] - Assessment should be approached from a place of curiosity. [16:06] - Many parents choose not to share a diagnosis with their child. The concerns are understandable. [17:29] - When we name what's going on, we are giving kids a container for all these feelings and experiences. It also gives you community. [19:31] - Dr. Angoff shares some language and verbiage to use that becomes empowering and validating. [21:21] - When we understand how kids think about their experience, we can work on shifting their narrative. [24:23] - Dr. Angoff shares an example of how to address a struggle and area of frustration with a child. [27:28] - When kids understand why they are receiving an intervention, they are more invested. [29:58] - Dr. Angoff shares the experience of a child who became curious about her own disability. [32:27] - These are ongoing conversations and not a one time thing. [34:12] - Every child is different, but Dr. Angoff offers resources on how to talk to your children about their differences.   About Our Guest: Liz Angoff, Ph.D., is a Licensed Educational Psychologist with a Diplomate in School Neuropsychology, providing assessment and consultation services to children and their families in the Bay Area, CA.
