Send us a textSimon Hedaux from Rethink Productivity provided NotebookLM with his thoughts on the dynamic world of retail productivity, challenging traditional assumptions to uncover hidden costs and untapped opportunities in modern retail operations.Retail businesses face a productivity paradox where despite working harder and implementing efficiency measures, many find themselves "sprinting to stand still" as costs rise and operations grow more complex. Simon Hedaux from Rethink Productivity provided NotebookLM with crucial insights into navigating this challenging landscape through systemic changes rather than incremental tweaks. • Understanding true operational costs requires forensic analysis of processes like stock replenishment• Modern technology enables unprecedented insights - computer vision, ESL systems, and digital tracking reveal inefficiencies• Retail front ends must evolve beyond traditional tills to handle self-checkout, click-and-collect, and third-party parcels• Radical "what if" scenarios challenge sacred cows: stores without managers, remote field visits, and elimination of stock counting• Digital twins of stores, AI-powered inductions, and open banking represent the cutting edge of retail innovation• The productivity principle: get the right work done by the right role at the right cost• Critical approach: identify and eliminate non-value-added processes before attempting to digitize or automate themLink to the original article can be found here...ReThinking Retail #theproductivityexpertsRegister for the 2025 Productivity ForumFind us in the Top 50 Productivity PodcastsConnect to Simon on LinkedInFollow ReThink on LinkedIn

In this episode of the Equipping ELLs Podcast, host Beth Vaucher is joined by renowned educator and language planning expert Kelly Reider for a deep dive into the world of functional language planning—a critical but often misunderstood approach to supporting multilingual learners in today's classrooms.With over 30 years of experience in education, Kelly shares how her journey from classroom teacher to district coordinator and national facilitator helped her shape a better way of aligning language development with content instruction. Together, Beth and Kelly explore the challenges educators face when planning for diverse learners, especially when co-teaching or pushing into content-area classrooms with limited prep time.Kelly breaks down the five core principles of functional language planning, rooted in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), offering a practical, research-based alternative to traditional grammar-focused approaches. She emphasizes a context-driven, flexible planning model that helps teachers support student communication and academic achievement, regardless of curriculum changes or language levels.Listeners will learn how functional language planning:Prioritizes real-time, context-based language needsShifts from "what to teach" to "what students need to do with language"Incorporates grammar as a tool for meaning-making, not an isolated objectiveEmpowers teachers to model, scaffold, and practice target language structures with studentsSimplifies planning through backwards design and alignment toolsBeth and Kelly also discuss the importance of student talk time, explicit modeling, and peer-to-peer interaction as foundational strategies that help students internalize and apply academic language in meaningful ways.This episode isn't just theory—it's full of actionable insights. Whether you're a general education teacher, ESL specialist, or instructional coach, you'll walk away with a renewed sense of what's possible when we make language visible, intentional, and functional for multilingual learners.

In a world full of apps and digital tools, sometimes the most powerful classroom connections happen with nothing more than paper, name tags, and a little imagination. In this episode, we explore some of our favorite community-building ideas, and add fresh, low-tech strategies that get students moving, talking, and genuinely engaging—with each other and with the language. Whether you're just starting the term or looking to reboot your class culture mid-semester, these ideas are easy to implement, low on tech, and high on impact. Show notes: www.DIESOL.org/124

I'm Lydia Hall, and—though it might sound a little corny—I like to call myself a professional storyteller. (It's a bit more efficient than describing all of the many hats that I wear!) To be more specific: I'm an admissions consultant, editor, writer, and teacher. I'm most passionate about amplifying people's voices and helping them tell their own stories, in their own words. Back in 2020, I took a leap of faith and decided to venture into the world of admissions consulting; since then, I've worked with dozens of students to help them craft admissions essays that top schools notice. From brainstorming through final polishing before submission, I guide people through the writing process, ensuring that they highlight their strengths as they apply to their dream schools. I also provide support with interview prep, researching and selecting schools, putting together application packages, and other essential steps in the admissions journey. Over the years, I've worked in lobbying, on Capitol Hill, in the non-profit world, as a consultant, as a content creator, and as a teacher; in all of these roles, my focus has been on helping people and organizations effectively and authentically tell their stories to the world. I have a master's in sociology and education (concentration in education policy) from Columbia University, Teachers College; in May 2023, I alsocompleted TC's certification program in college advising. My undergrad degree is from Tufts University. I firmly believe that every student should have access to a counselor who gives them personalized support, and that's what I always aim to provide. There are few things more rewarding than hearing from students that they've gotten accepted to their dream schools. Get in touch, and let's talk college!
