Plus, they discuss occupation-based alternatives to common standardized tests and share their favorite tools like the School Function Assessment.Listen to learn how shifting to occupation-based practice can transform not just your assessments, but your entire intervention approach.Learning Objectives— Learners will identify the key characteristics that distinguish occupation-based assessments from skill-based assessments— Learners will recognize why the occupational profile is an important component of every SBOT evaluation— Learners will identify the importance of using occupational language in evaluation reports for professional advocacyClick here to register & get the best deal on the 2026 Back to School Conference!  Thanks for tuning in!

Send us Fan MailLeader, if your day feels like constant problem-solving, interruptions, and answering the same questions over and over again… this episode is for you.Many school leaders assume chaos is just part of the job. But most of the time, it's not a people problem—it's a systems problem.In this episode, you'll explore the second system every school leader needs: Logistics Systems.Logistics Systems are the operational structures that help your school run smoothly day to day. When they're clear and consistent, teachers know what to do, students know what to expect, and leaders spend less time reacting to problems.Without them, even strong leaders can feel overwhelmed.In this episode, you'll hear coaching around several areas where strong logistics systems make a major difference in schools, including:Teaching and learning routines that keep instruction alignedStudent culture and behavior supports that create consistencySafety and crisis procedures that prepare staff for the unexpectedBuilding and technology operations that prevent daily disruptionsCommunication systems that keep staff informed and connectedYou'll also walk away with a simple leadership reflection to help you identify where your school might need stronger operational systems.Because when Logistics Systems are strong, leaders gain something incredibly valuable:time and clarity to focus on what matters most—student learning.Support the showDownload Upside and use my code MELINDA35278 to get 15¢ per gallon extra cash back on your first gas fill-up and 10% extra cash on your first food purchase!Download Fetch app using this link, submit a receipt and we'll both score bonus points.Calling All Educators! I started a community with resources, courses, articles, networking, and more.I am looking for members to help me build it with the most valuable resources.I would really appreciate your input as a teacher, leader, administrator, or consultant.Join here: Empowered Educator CommunityBook: Educator to Entrepreneur: IGNITE Your Path to Freelance SuccessGrab a complimentary POWER SessionWith Rubi.ai, you'll experience cutting-edge technology, research-driven insights, and efficient content delivery.email: melinda@empowereducator.co...

Send us Fan MailStrong schools don't happen by accident—they are built on systems. In this episode, you're introduced to the first of three leadership systems that help principals move from survival mode to sustainable leadership: Leader Systems.Before you lead the school, you have to lead yourself. Leader Systems are the personal structures that help you grow professionally, manage your time effectively, and stay focused on what matters most. Without them, even talented leaders end up reacting to problems instead of leading with purpose.In this episode, you'll learn why personal professional learning is essential for school leaders and how building intentional leadership habits strengthens your capacity to lead others.Coming NextIn the next episode, we'll explore Logistics Systems—the operational structures that keep schools organized, consistent, and running smoothly.Resources and ReferencesResearch consistently shows that leadership quality is one of the most influential factors in school success.Wallace Foundation – How Principals Affect Students and Schools (Leithwood, Louis, et al.)Atomic Habits by James Clear – Building small systems and habits that create lasting improvementThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.

On this week's HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, host Noreen Turley explores Every School Day Matters: Supporting Attendance with Áine O'Keeffe, National Lead, Tusla Wellbeing Project and Director of TESS, and Dr Abigail Collins, National Clinical Lead, Child Health Public Health / National Healthy Childhood Programme (NHCP). Áine explains why we all have a role in promoting regular school attendance and reducing absenteeism, highlighting that missed days add up and children can miss out on learning, friendships and development when they are not in school.   Together, they focus on practical supports that can help children and young people attend as consistently as possible, and what families can do when health issues, anxiety or other pressures get in the way. They highlight the value of early, open communication with the school and staying connected, so families feel supported rather than judged when attendance becomes difficult. Abbie encourages parents to trust their judgement about when their child is well enough to attend, particularly when managing chronic conditions, and to link in with the school so the right supports can be put in place. They discuss how routine can reduce anxiety, and how consistent morning, sleep and school-day routines can make attendance feel more manageable over time.   SCPTusla - Child and Family Agency https://www.tusla.ie/tess/scp/   mychild.ie https://www2.hse.ie/my-child/   Knowing if your child is well enough to go to school or childcare https://www2.hse.ie/babies-children/parenting-advice/caring-for-a-child/knowing-if-your-child-is-well-enough-to-go-to-school-or-childcare/   Produced by GK Media.ie

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.

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.
