Podcasts about every school

This bonus Aspire to Lead episode brings you a featured segment from the Thriving Educators Summit, where Mitch Weathers facilitates a fast paced conversation with TJ Vari and Joshua Stamper about what it truly means to lead well in today's schools, whether you are an aspiring leader, assistant principal, principal, or district administrator. The trio digs into mindset shifts from classroom to leadership, why every leader deserves a coach, how to build influence before you have a title, and why community based supports like the Aspire to Lead Cohort and Schoolhouse 302's induction and coaching work are essential for combating isolation, burnout, and “trial by fire” leadership transitions.About T.J.

Throughout his academic journey, Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. It took him seven years to graduate from college—a reflection not of ability, but of disconnection. He often experienced education as something happening around him, not something he was actively part of. That sense of isolation fueled his desire to create a different kind of learning experience. When Mitch became a teacher, he brought with him a deep empathy for students who felt unseen or overwhelmed. He quickly realized that before we can effectively teach content, we must first build the foundation for learning. That foundation is structure, consistency, and support. To meet this need, Mitch created Organized Binder—a simple, research-backed system that empowers teachers to explicitly teach executive functioning skills without sacrificing instructional time. By establishing predictable learning routines, teachers foster safer, more inclusive classrooms where students gain confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging. Mitch's mission is to equip educators with the tools to help every student succeed—not just academically, but...

As the year comes to a close, great leaders don't just move on—they pause, reflect, and intentionally prepare for what's next. In this episode, Ryan Steuer shares a powerful four-bucket reflection protocol used at Magnify Learning to help leadership teams identify what's working, what's broken, what's confusing, and what truly mattered most. This simple but effective structure can be used at the end of a school year, quarter, or major initiative—and it creates clarity, trust, and momentum for the future. The 4-Bucket Reflection Protocol 1. What Worked Leaders begin by naming the practices, systems, and initiatives that genuinely moved the work forward. Examples include: Improved meeting structures or rhythms Classroom walkthroughs that led to visible instructional shifts Communication strategies that strengthened alignment Initiatives with a clear beginning, middle, and end This step reinforces progress, boosts morale, and helps teams identify what should continue. 2. What's Broken Next, teams openly name systems or processes that didn't work as intended. These might include: Meetings that lack purpose or impact Communication processes that vary across schools Initiatives that sounded good but fell flat in practice This bucket invites honest feedback without judgment and signals that leadership is listening—and willing to improve systems, not blame people. 3. What's Confusing Confusion often hides beneath the surface, especially in complex systems. This bucket creates language for naming unclear expectations or mixed messages. Common examples include: Conflicting directions about autonomy vs. compliance Overlapping initiatives with unclear priorities Communication that unintentionally sends mixed signals Addressing confusion strengthens trust and prevents frustration from turning into disengagement. 4. Favorites The final bucket captures what filled people's cups—the moments that mattered most. Favorites often include: Powerful PBL units and student exhibitions Community partnerships that exceeded expectations Student stories that reminded teams why the work matters This bucket reveals what motivates the team and where leaders should invest more energy moving forward. Why This Protocol Works Encourages honest, structured reflection Creates shared language for feedback Improves systems without defensiveness Strengthens culture and psychological safety Helps teams get 1% better through clarity Ryan emphasizes that many issues—especially confusion—can be resolved immediately once surfaced. Over time, this protocol becomes part of the team's culture, not just an annual exercise. How to Use It End of the calendar year or school year Quarterly leadership reflection After a major initiative or rollout With district teams, principals, or coaches Leaders can run it individually first, then with teams to maximize insight and impact.

 From November 2025, inclusion, behaviour, attendance, and wellbeing are set to take centre stage during Ofsted inspections. But what does this mean for schools in practice – especially when it comes to supporting SEMH? In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, we unpack the key changes in the new framework and answer the questions school leaders and teachers are already asking. Will Ofsted finally “get” SEMH? How will inspectors judge behaviour when it looks different for pupils with additional needs? And what does “exceptional” practice actually look like under the new rules? More importantly, you'll discover the practical steps you can take now to prepare your policies, staff, and systems – so you're inspection-ready and future-ready. If you want clarity on what Ofsted's new approach really means for behaviour and SEMH in your school, this episode is for you.Links: Download the SEND Behaviour Handbook for FREE Get more free resources about SEMH from Beacon School Support from this page NEW and FREE: Live in-person events for heads and executive leadersJoin other heads from Birmingham, the North West and Yorkshire and learn how the LEAD framework and Success Path approaches can equip your team to handle SEMH challenges in your school, while building a more inclusive and resilient culture.To learn more and book your free place, visit:https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk

Only one in three children in the UK enjoy reading in their spare time – the lowest rate recorded in 20 years, according to a survey for the National Literacy Trust. Best-selling children's author Katherine Rundell, whose books include Impossible Creatures and The Explorer, says that represents a crisis of reading which will make it harder to tackle disinformation. She thinks every school should have a library that is subject to an Ofsted inspection and literacy should be included in teacher training programmes to try to tackle the decline in children reading for pleasure. Amol and Katherine also discuss why Donald Trump's re-election as US president led her to donate all the royalties from US sales of The Golden Mole (published under the title Vanishing Treasures in America) to climate charities.

In this solo episode, I reveal why a structured Staff Wellbeing Framework is the key to reducing burnout, improving retention and fostering a thriving school culture. Many schools believe they’re supporting staff wellbeing, but without a clear framework, efforts often rely on scattered initiatives like self-care workshops and social events—leaving the deeper causes of stress and burnout unaddressed. It’s time to shift from reactive, one-off solutions to a strategic, lasting approach that truly supports educators. In this episode, I break down: The true purpose of a Staff Wellbeing Framework and how it differs from general wellbeing initiatives The biggest misconceptions about implementing a Staff Wellbeing framework Why a wellbeing framework is essential for schools struggling with burnout, high turnover, cultural issues or major changes How schools with already strong cultures can further enhance their staff wellbeing strategies A step-by-step approach to embedding a Staff Wellbeing Framework that actually works Links and Resources: Join our FREE online training to learn more about the 6-step process for building a Staff Wellbeing Framework that works.

Greetings and Welcome to another Potentially Useful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast. Today's show includes potential pulitzer prize winning novelist, Danelle Brostrom as well as her ghost writer in this alternate reality, Stephie Luyt. We will be discussing all things Libraries including three school library associated bills currently working their way through Michigan State Congress and how they'll effect our Certified Librarians. We focus on Information Literacy, Artificial Intelligence and of course, Bluey. Moment of Zen: “The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn't know how to read.” — Benjamin Franklin   The Letter: Dear Senate Education Committee Members,   Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and questions about the “Library in Every School” bills that are sponsored by Senator Camilleri (SB741, SB742) and Senator Bayer (SB743).   At yesterday's Senate Education Committee Meeting, members of the committee asked for data about school libraries. The Michigan Association of School Librarians (MASL) has a wealth of data and we will share some of it below in several forms.   Please reach out if you have questions about this data or would like to meet to have any of your questions answered.   Thank you very much,   Kathy Lester >MASL Advocacy Co-Chair, Immediate Past-President AASL, Adjunct Faculty Wayne State University Alexa Lalejini >MASL Advocacy Co-Chair, School Librarian, Rockford Public Schools Stephie Luyt >MASL Advocacy Co-Chair, School Librarian, Traverse City Area Public Schools Carrie Betts, >MASL President, School Librarian, Birmingham Public School District, AASL National School Library of the Year Christine Beachler,  >MASL President-Elect, School Librarian, Lowell Public Schools   DATA ABOUT THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF SCHOOL LIBRARIANS   Correlation between reading scores and school librarians in Michigan According to the latest data, Michigan 46th in the nation in the ratio of students to school librarians (ratio of 2788 students per school librarian from 2021-2022) and 43rd in 3rd grade NAEP reading scores. Michigan Study About the Impact of School Librarians In Michigan, a Library of Michigan research study showed that school library media programs have a statistically significant positive impact on reading achievement in grades 4, 7, and 11. Specifically, this study showed that schools with librarians have 35 percent more fourth graders who score proficient or above than school without librarians (see page ix of the study). The Michigan reading test scores rise with the extent to which the state's school library programs are headed by qualified school librarians. The relationship between school libraries and test scores cannot be explained away by other school or community conditions at any school level. The Impact of Michigan School Libraries on Academic Achievement: Kids Who Have Libraries Succeed Other research and data about the positive impact of school librarians The Michigan Association of School Librarians has put together a document that summarizes the different ways that school librarians have a positive impact on students and includes links to research for each item. bit.ly/slibevid A good article that summarizes much of the research The article below is a great article that summarizes much of the research.

Imagine being able to take EVERY school holidays off, and not just keep your business running, but actually have a successful GROWING business? Sounding like a pipe-dream... maybe something you can achieve in the future? It's not about cramming all your work into the terms and then, exhausted, flopping onto the couch for the school holidays.. what we're talking about is having a business that allows you to live life during the terms as you would hope to (with enough time for yourself and your family) AND also be able to have a significant amount of holidays during the year. Thing is, if you don't structure your business to be able to do that now, then it's highly unlikely that your future business will enable you to do it either! In today's episode my special guest, Kate Swann, founder of Kate Swann Psychology, shares with us how she almost reached the point of burnout in her practice, what she learned in streamlining her business so she could work less, earn more and be able to take all school holidays off - guilt-free! Tune in to find out: Why you can start having a better business-life balance, even if you're doing 1:1 work The 3 keys to claiming back your time and increasing revenue Why a large percentage of psychologists are reaching burnout The beauty of relational psychology and why it's a win-win for everyone About our guest: As a psychologist, Kate Swann have been helping clients for over 18 years and have built a highly successful psychology practice. Kate have developed a training program so she can share it all with burnt-out, time-poor therapists. She went into private practice so she could work on her terms, do school drop-offs and pick-ups most days, and take school holidays off with her family. Now she have created an 8 week, online group supervision course so she can support other therapists to elevate their practice to the next level.

LifeVac Founder Arthur Lih Is Donating One Of His Life Saving Choking Rescue Devices to EVERY School in the US. THAT'S AMAZING so I'm helping share this news to make sure every school takes advantage of this generous gift.  LifeVac Helps Prevent Senseless Choking Deaths. And Arthur Lih who invented the life saving device thinks every school in the US should have one on hand…in case.  ‘School budgets' or lack of budgets, were holding up progress on implementing the idea, so passionate Arthur Lih got frustrated and said, never mind, I'll do it myself and donate one to every school in the U.S. I don't care what it costs.  It's gonna cost him millions, but Arthur Lih doesn't care. He's obsessed with making sure as many people as possible have access one of these life-saving devices that could mean the difference between life and death, in minutes, for anyone at any age. Arthur set out on the Life Vac mission some years ago when he was nearby a woman in a hospital weeping following the death of her young son. A grape had become lodged in the child's windpipe and the Heimlich Maneuver did not work. Arthur, the father of a similar aged child at the time, was deeply pained and deeply affected by the tragedy that he felt could have been avoided. So, he set out to do something! Arthur, who had a little bit of a background in making things, invented a simple apparatus that could clear an airway in basically a single suction pull, in the hopes that no child would ever die a senseless choking death again. Arthur's goal and LifeVacs' goal, is to save as many lives as possible throughout the world. They're doing a great job. So far 1290 lives have been saved by having a LifeVac on hand! At LifeVac, research and development headquarters in Springfield Gardens, NY, there is actually a “Wall of Saves” featuring people of all ages who lives were saved thanks to LifeVac. Those lives include, among others, a 3 yr old little girl who choked on a peanut, a 90 yr old woman in a Senior Living Facility who choked on a food, an 82 yr old man who choked on a carrot, a 2 1/2 yr old girl who choked on a grape, a 7 yr old girl who choked on bacon, and a 1 yr old girl who choked on a hot dog. The list of ‘saves' continues to grow. Just recently LifeVac Europe reported that a 70-year-old man at a private hospital in the North East of England choked on a piece of chicken, causing a complete airway obstruction. On the 2nd application LifeVac successfully dislodged the obstruction saving his life. Arthur Lih says, “We have now touched the lives of almost 1300 individuals and their families. Together we are making a difference one life at a time.” Incredible rescues around the world thanks to LifeVac's upper airway clearing device which is they say, the safest, simplest method to save an aspirating person.  Again, Arthur Lih is DONATING A LIFEVAC TO EVERY SCHOOL IN THE US. Please make sure someone from your school, your child's school or a school near you gets in touch with LifeVac to get their free LifeVac Choking Rescue Device Kit.  LifeVac.net admin@lifevac.net 1 516-962-2554

What if your state decided it was important for EVERY school to have a comprehensive counseling program in place - even if it wasn't the ASCA National Model - and made it easy for schools to implement the program? That's the question Indiana posed, and answered, by developing a comprehensive counseling program called Carrying the Torch to Student Success AND developing a free online learning platform so that every school could implement the program. Listen in to hear how Indiana made all of this happen.

Rep. Richie Torres is proposing to expand the federal Gun Free School Zones Act's current 1,000-feet "gun free zone" around schools to 5,000-feet around every public, private, charter school and "early childhood education centers"; a move that could result in millions of lawful gun owners inadvertently breaking federal law and potentially serving years in prison for simply bearing arms in public.

Tech is tricky.  Some platforms can be helpful and expansive in creating our views of the world, others create an echo chamber or a “vortex of views”.  It is important that we teach our kids the difference between the two. Equally important is our support of teachers in helping them navigate the areas of tech to find the best educational practices. EverySchool.org is an organization that strives to do both of these things, the EdTEch Triangle can give educators a framework of research based decision making when creating lesson plans and intentionally adding tech to their curriculum.   Blythe Winslow is the co-founder and executive director of Everyschool.org. She's also the co-author of the Ed Tech Triangle - a tool that can educate, inform and support all teachers who want to use tech intentionally.   In this episode we talk about the importance of print versus the digital screen, the EdTech Triangle and Everyschool.org Parent Groups.

Predicting the future is never easy. However we can make some educated guesses on what the Higher Education space will see and have to do to stay competitive in 2023.

In particular, there are eight that every school business official should track over time.Tune in to find out what they are, and what insights they can provide for your school district as you make decisions with an eye toward the future (and the past).

We teach with a real-world curriculum so that our students can make connections that lead to deeper learning. Why can't we do the same for behavior? Today's guest has done just that. Jason Haniger created a Token Economy that reflects the real-world economy we live in. The result? Students at Barry School improved their behavior while developing financial literacy skills they'll use for the rest of their lives. In this episode, we talk with Jason about how you can utilize behavior points to teach students about interest, stocks, taxes, and budgeting AND how to improve behavior through your extra-curricular programs.

Do we want a Drag Queen for every school because they're fun, or do we want someone who will stand up for our children and back the parents?To me, the choice is simple.....

When you think of physical education, or PE, or gym class - what do you remember?  Probably the physical side of it, like jump rope or pull-ups or dodgeball or kickball.  But what blew our mind in today's conversation is all of the seemingly invisible, yet intentional, ways PE class teaches us about social interactions, our own capabilities, deconstructing perfectionism, and more - and frighteningly, how so many schools in the US now don't mandate PE, as it's a class that's having to fight for its right to exist in the education system.   As we kick off the new 2022-2023 school year, listen to what we'll be missing out on in our next generation if we don't start thinking about what and how we teach our children.   What to listen for:  Why PE is important - especially when it goes beyond the measurements and into being a social laboratory How resistance shows up in physical education, and how to address it Helping children navigate the difficult or uncomfortable conversations that play out in spaces of play  The privilege Sherri feels of being a Black American woman living in Europe   About Sherri: Sherri Spelic teaches elementary physical education at an international school in Vienna, Austria.

In this preview, civil rights icon Ruby Bridges shares what it was like to be the first African-American student to attend an all-white elementary school in Louisiana in 1960. Ruby was just six years old at the time, and it would be years before she fully appreciated her role in advancing civil rights in America.
