This lesson breaks down Annuity Principles and Concepts in a simple, clear way so you can finally understand the most confusing part of the exam. You'll learn the difference between the accumulation period and the annuity (payout) period, how tax deferral really works, and why immediate vs. deferred annuities show up in tricky exam questions. This session features a VIP Minzo Pass student from Maryland reviewing real annuities questions, identifying mistakes, and learning how to avoid the traps that cause most test-takers to fail. If annuities have ever confused you, this video will help you finally “get it” — and pass with confidence. What You Will Learn: Accumulation period vs. annuity period How to remember “pay-in” vs. “pay-out” What tax-deferred really means How immediate vs. deferred annuities work Why words like “always” and “only” are trick answers How to spot “almost correct” vs. fully correct answers How annuities questions appear on your real exam  

Jeff Meade spent 20 years building companies. Then a friend asked him one question on a hike near Mount Fuji — what makes you happy? — and he couldn't answer it. That four-hour conversation led him to Paul Quinn College in Dallas, where he now serves as Chief Innovation Officer and runs a program with one non-negotiable rule: every student, regardless of major, must start and operate a real business before they graduate. No simulations. No worksheets. Real ventures, real customers, real failure. Every school says it wants future-ready students. Most are still teaching them how to pass tests. Jeff Meade decided that wasn't good enough — and built a venture-based learning model that turns a graduation requirement into the most practical education a student can get. If you're a school leader wondering whether entrepreneurship education belongs on your campus, this episode answers the question. ✅ What You'll Learn Why employers stopped wanting graduates who can pass tests — and what they're asking for instead How Paul Quinn structured a seed fund and advisor model so student ventures get real resources, not just pitch competitions Why this generation's biggest professional liability is their inability to talk to strangers — and what to do about it What a theoretical entrepreneurship curriculum gets wrong, and how venture-based learning fixes it How K–12 leaders can apply the same principles without a college-sized program

Most students fail the life insurance exam because of one section — annuities — but after this lesson, you'll understand it for good. In this episode of the Pass Your Life and Health Insurance Exam Podcast, we break down immediate vs. deferred annuities, how single-premium and flexible-premium payments work, and why knowing the 12-month rule can save you from losing points on your life insurance exam. This session also explains nonforfeiture provisions, surrender charges, and flexible premium options, using real examples that make exam concepts click. You'll learn exactly why deferred annuities have an accumulation period, what happens during the annuitization phase, and how to identify tricky “always” or “guaranteed” statements that Prometric loves to test.

What happens when a 17-year-old decides STEM should work for everyone—not just some students? In Episode 191, Dr. Diane talks with Amritha Praveen, founder of Amethyst Changemakers, about creating inclusive STEM kits using Universal Design for Learning, distributing over 250 kits to Title 1 schools, placing third at the International Science and Engineering Fair, and why resilience and empathy drive real change.Summary:In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Diane welcomes Amritha Praveen, a rising high school senior and founder of Amethyst Changemakers, an organization creating accessible STEM kits for learners of all abilities. Amritha explains how her volunteer work in special education revealed that many students interested in STEM couldn't fully participate because resources weren't designed for them. She shares how competition math in fifth grade sparked her STEM journey, leading to science fair projects on autism prediction, music therapy frameworks, and genetics research that earned her third place at ISEF and a scholarship to ASU. Amritha discusses the Universal Design for Learning framework that guides her STEM kits, embedding accessibility from the start rather than retrofitting later, and how her team of high school students, mentors, and volunteers has distributed over 250 kits to Chicago Public Schools and Peoria classrooms. She reflects on resilience as the foundation of good science, why STEM teaching needs more hands-on variety, and what brings her hope: watching young students discover their passion for STEM.Chapters & Timestamps:[00:00] Meet Teen Trailblazer Amritha Praveen – High school senior making STEM accessible for all[01:23] Amethyst Changemakers and Universal Design for Learning – STEM kits built with accessibility from the start[02:16] What's in the Kits? – Ice cream chemistry, catapults, magnets, math bingo, and more04:16] Why Inclusive STEM Matters – Seeing passionate students without equal access[05:29] Competition Math to Autism Research – Amritha's STEM journey from fifth grade to ISEF[06:38] Third Place at International Science Fair – Autism genetics, phenotypes, and an ASU scholarship[08:49] Building the Team – Student designers, mentors, and 30 volunteers assembling kits[11:46] Applied Math and Expanding the Mission – College plans and beyond[13:03] Advice for Young Scientists – Keep pushing through—resilience matters more than perfection[16:21] What Schools Get Wrong About STEM – Moving beyond lectures to differentiated, hands-on learning[17:22] What Brings You Hope? – Students discovering their passion for STEMLinks & Resources:Amethyst ChangemakersPIE (Peer Inclusion Empowerment) AppSociety for ScienceiBio ChampionIllinois Junior Academy of ScienceCall to Action:Inspired by Amritha's work?

Most students fail the life insurance exam because they don't understand annuities — but this class changes that. In this episode of the Pass Your Life and Health Insurance Exam Podcast, you'll learn the true difference between life insurance and annuities, how accumulation vs. annuitization works, and what it means to protect yourself from living too long versus dying too soon. This episode also explains key exam terms like suitability, tax-deferred growth, and annuitant vs. owner vs. beneficiary — the same topics most test-takers miss. You'll even hear real student questions that help bring these tricky concepts to life.

What if the students who struggle most in your classroom are actually among your smartest? In this episode, Dr. Beth welcomes Faye Snodgress, an elementary teacher with a powerful framework for transforming classroom culture by changing the way students, and teachers,  think about intelligence. Faye opens with a question that will immediately resonate: who gets picked first on the playground depends entirely on the game. The same is true in the classroom. When we expand our definition of smart, everyone gets to be a first pick somewhere. Drawing on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Faye introduces nine distinct ways of being smart: from word smart and logic smart to body smart, nature smart, and philosopher smart; and shows you exactly how to bring this framework to life with your students. You'll hear about a character creation activity that helps students discover their own strengths and recognize the strengths of their peers, plus individual reflection exercises that shift the focus from deficits to possibilities. Faye also gives you specific language to use in your classroom starting tomorrow, including how to respond when a student says they're bad at school and how to ensure every kind of smart is represented during group work. If you've ever watched a student disengage and wondered how to bring them back, this episode will give you both the tools and the perspective shift to make it happen.

Today our guests are Michelle Marcellin, Staff and Student Support Consultant, Nancy Buyle, School Safety and Student Assistance Consultant, and Sara Orris, School Health and Homeless Education Consultant — all at Macomb Intermediate School District. We discuss how schools can ensure every student is connected to at least one caring adult through a practical, research-backed approach called Silent Mentoring. They share how this three-step process helps schools identify disconnected students, match them with caring staff, and build the kind of intentional relationships that improve attendance, behavior, and belonging. They also explain why this work isn't just a teacher responsibility — and how small, consistent actions from any adult in a building can dramatically shift school culture and student outcomes. In this conversation, Michelle, Nancy, and Sara offer important reminders for educators and leaders working to strengthen student connection: Every student needs at least one adult in their building who knows them, not just an adult they know best. Silent Mentoring works because students feel genuinely cared for rather than assigned to an adult out of obligation. A hello, a quick update, and a goodbye a few times a week is enough to build real trust with a disconnected student. Research shows just one caring adult can significantly impact a student's resilience, and school is often the best place to find that person.

Today, we're diving into a critical discourse on equity in education with our guests, Ann Ishimura and Decoteau Irby, who are unveiling their forthcoming book, *Doing the Work of Equity Leadership for Justice and System Change*. This episode addresses the challenges school leaders and educators face as they work to create equitable learning environments amid rising resistance to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Drawing on nearly a decade of research, Ann and Decoteau show that despite political pushback, many educators remain committed to equitable practices. We'll explore the cyclical nature of equity leadership through their "mornings, middays, and evenings" framework, showing how leaders can navigate their roles and drive systemic change. They emphasize actionable steps such as implementing school-wide equity audits, fostering inclusive decision-making processes, and providing ongoing professional development on equity issues. Join us as we unpack the intricacies of leading for justice and the importance of action over awareness in pursuing educational equality.Exploring the confluence of education, equity, and leadership, the latest Becoming Bridge Builders podcast features a discussion with Ann Ishimura and Decoteau Irby, esteemed education researchers and co-authors of the forthcoming book, 'Doing the Work of Equity Leadership for Justice and System Change'. This episode examines the transformative practices school leaders and educators use to foster equity amid mounting resistance and backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Drawing on nearly a decade of collaboration with educators nationwide, Ishimura and Irby unpack the challenges and strategies that define equity-focused leadership today. They introduce the concept of 'mornings, middays, and evenings' as a framework to guide educators through the daily cycles of equity work. The 'mornings' focus on setting intentions and building momentum, 'middays' involve navigating the inevitable obstacles and maintaining progress, and 'evenings' are about reflection and recalibration. These phases can be applied through real-life scenarios, such as starting the day with an equity planning meeting (morning), adjusting strategies during a midday teacher collaboration session (midday), and ending with a reflective debrief (evening). By emphasizing action, they show that real progress requires a commitment to change beyond surface-level initiatives. This episode sheds light on the historical context of equity movements in education and critiques the cyclical nature of progress and resistance, urging listeners to reflect on the ongoing journey toward justice in educational systems.Takeaways: The podcast emphasizes the critical need for equity in education, highlighting how systemic barriers affect students differently based on their backgrounds. Ann Ishimura and Decoteau Irby discuss their decade-long research that underpins their book, focusing on the practical actions leaders must take to promote equity. Listeners are encouraged to understand the cyclical nature of progress in equity work, likening it to daily cycles of morning, midday, and evening leadership efforts. The conversation reveals that the political dynamics of education are essential, as they shape who has access to resources and opportunities in schools. A key insight shared is that education can't be viewed in a vacuum; the socio-emotional context of students plays a vital role in their learning outcomes. The hosts and guests stress that awareness must lead to action, urging educators to go beyond surface-level commitments to effect meaningful change in schools.

In this episode, Kathy and Linda talk with Catherine Jackson Jones, a coach and mentor with the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding STEM opportunities for students and empowering educators to bring real-world STEM experiences into classrooms across the country.Catherine shares how NMSI builds awareness and access to STEM fields, particularly for students in under-resourced and rural communities. Through long-term partnerships with school districts, NMSI provides professional development for teachers and administrators, helping them integrate critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills into every subject. Catherine explains how the initiative creates lasting change by training educators to sustain programs long after NMSI's involvement, ensuring equity and opportunity for all students.Catherine also opens up about her personal journey — growing up in poverty, being the first in her family to graduate college, and how a single teacher's belief in her changed the trajectory of her life. That experience fuels her passion for helping students see their own worth and possibilities, no matter where they come from.Together, they explore:How NMSI supports teachers and districts to create engaging, hands-on STEM learningThe importance of exposure, opportunity, and representation in STEM educationThe ripple effect one teacher or mentor can have on generations of learnersHow engagement and curiosity transform learning environmentsBreaking cycles of poverty through education and belief in possibilityAsk the (Not) ExpertA listener asks:“I have a team project with all boys. None of them want to do any work, and I don't want to get a bad grade. What do I do?”Catherine shares her teacher's perspective: divide responsibilities clearly, let everyone choose their section, and document who's responsible for what. That way, teachers can fairly assess individual contributions — a real-world lesson in accountability and teamwork.Rapid Fire QuestionsFavorite STEM book: Alchemy of the Mind, by Diane AckermanFavorite college course: Shakespeare with Dr. ReyBest advice ever received: “You're bigger than the moments that surround you.” – Theresa Smith, the teacher who changed her lifeEpisode TakeawayCatherine's story is a testament to the power of education, mentorship, and believing in others.

Differentiation doesn't have to mean creating 30 different versions of a lesson. In this episode, I unpack what differentiation really looks like in practice and why it's essential in today's diverse classrooms. I share examples from elementary, middle, and high school to show how teachers can adjust content, process, product, and learning environment to make learning more accessible and engaging for every student. You'll hear how small, intentional design choices can strengthen Tier 1 instruction, reduce the need for intervention, and make teaching more sustainable over time.

Send us a textIt's a common belief: “My students can't read, so they need to master simple math first before tackling word problems.” But what if this thinking is actually holding students back? In this episode, we challenge the unproductive idea that kids must learn the basics first, and instead explore how word problems can be the foundation for building math proficiency.The Word Problem Workshop (WPW) is structured with five predictable steps, and it all begins with the Launch. This step sets the stage, builds excitement, and helps students make sense of the problem before solving. By connecting the task to their background knowledge (like counting apples on a lunch tray), students immediately see how their experiences are valuable tools for problem solving.

Simon1025GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 26th Publish Date: August 26th PRE-ROLL: From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 26th and Happy Birthday to Melissa McCarthy I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Duluth's Notre Dame Academy celebrates two decades of 'seeing every student' Former Kennedy Center manager returns to Gwinnett to lead Lawrenceville Arts Center Dick Goodman remembered for support of libraries, Suwanee community All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Duluth's Notre Dame Academy celebrates two decades of 'seeing every student' For nearly 20 years, Julie Derucki has started her mornings the same way: a long commute, a quiet walk through the halls flipping on lights, and then, at 7:50 a.m., she’s at the front door, greeting every single student with warmth and intention. Rain, shine, freezing cold—it doesn’t matter. It’s her thing. Notre Dame Academy, a Marist Catholic school in Duluth, has spent 20 years building more than just academics. It’s a community—a village, really—where students are seen, known, and loved. Teacher Regan Jolley-Sherman felt it the moment she interviewed. From international potlucks to family picnics, Notre Dame celebrates its people. And while academics matter, Derucki’s focus is clear: raising empathetic, grounded leaders. STORY 2: Former Kennedy Center manager returns to Gwinnett to lead Lawrenceville Arts Center Daniela Esteves is coming back to Gwinnett, and this time, she’s taking the reins as complex general manager of the Lawrenceville Arts Center. Most recently with the Kennedy Center in D.C., Esteves has done it all—programming, marketing, event management, you name it. She even spent a couple of years at Gas South District in Duluth before heading north. Lawrenceville’s Arts Center isn’t just a venue—it’s a hub for connection and culture. And with Esteves at the helm, it’s poised to thrive. STORY 3: Dick Goodman remembered for support of libraries, Suwanee community Dick Goodman wore many hats in his 83 years—city councilman, PR pro, photographer, library advocate, and the first chair of Suwanee’s Public Art Commission. But more than titles, he was a storyteller, a community builder, and a man who poured his heart into everything he touched. Goodman passed away last week, leaving behind a legacy that’s woven into the fabric of Suwanee. After moving to Suwanee in 2006, it didn’t take long for him to dive in. By 2009, he was on the City Council, later chairing the Gwinnett Library Board for eight years. Today, a room at the Suwanee library bears his name—a fitting tribute for someone who championed the power of stories. Even in his final hours, Goodman was at a Suwanee planning meeting, still giving back. His family is now raising funds to make the “Novel Idea” sculpture—a granite bench shaped like books—a permanent part of the library he loved so much. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: MONSTER JAM STORY 4: Pirates of Lanier Charity Poker Run set for September For over a decade, the Pirates of Lanier Charity Poker Run has been a highlight for boaters on Lake Lanier, and this year, it’s getting a shake-up. Zach Martin, a longtime participant, is stepping in as the 2025 organizer, and he’s bringing back the big powerboats. This year’s event, running Sept. 12-13, will benefit K9s for Warriors and the Foster Care Support Foundation—causes close to Martin’s heart. The weekend will feature everything from a helicopter photoshoot to raft-ups at Cocktail Cove, with nightly stops at Margaritaville and Lanier Islands Resort. For details, visit www.lanierislands.com. STORY 5: Discount retailer Burlington opening store in Lawrenceville Lawrenceville’s about to get a new spot for bargain hunters—Burlington is opening a store at the Shoppes at Creekside, right off State Route 316 at 860 Duluth Highway. The grand opening? Sometime this fall. Burlington’s pitch? Big brands, small prices—up to 60% less than other retailers. Clothes, shoes, home decor, beauty products, baby gear, even pet toys—it’s all there. And the new store will feature their updated layout with bold signs and organized aisles, making it easier to snag those deals. This will be Burlington’s 38th Georgia location and sixth in Gwinnett. They’re hiring now—apply at BurlingtonStores.jobs. We’ll be right back. Break: MONSTER JAM STORY 6: ART BEAT: Artist-photographer Debra Barnhart launches new Instagram site filled with wildlife Rudyard Kipling once called Yellowstone “a howling wilderness… full of unimaginable freaks of fiery nature.” Debra Barnhart? She saw it differently. Her February trip with National Geographic wasn’t easy. Snow, ice, and heavy camera gear tested her resolve. The result? Stunning wildlife photos—bison dusted in snow, a white owl, and more. Her new Instagram, Debra Barnhart Nature Photography, showcases it all. STORY 7: Georgia Bulldogs Readying for Saturday's Season Opener The Georgia Bulldogs are easing into the 2025 season, but don’t let that fool you—things are about to get intense. First up? Marshall this Saturday at Sanford Stadium. Then it’s straight into the SEC gauntlet: Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Auburn, Ole Miss. Buckle up. On offense, it’s a new era. Gunner Stockton, the Rabun County legend, finally gets his shot after Carson Beck’s transfer. Stockton? He’s ready—quiet confidence, big arm, and a fresh set of weapons, including USC transfer Zachariah Branch and Illinois’ Josh McCray. Defense? Still Georgia’s pride. Sure, they’ve got holes to fill—NFL-sized ones—but returners like C.J. Allen and Daylen Everette are stepping up. Tackling? A work in progress, Smart admits. New faces, new challenges, same Georgia standard. Let’s see how it plays out. We’ll have closing comments after this.

From 1950 to 1970, the Vatican sent thousands of Italian children to eager American Catholics for adoption. The children entered the United States on orphan visas. The trouble was most of the children were not orphans. They were the children of unwed mothers, many of whom were alive and searching for their children. How the Vatican got into the orphan business is the subject of The Price of Children, a book by author Maria Laurino. Bill Whitaker speaks to Laurino and to American adoptees still struggling with the decades of separation from their birth families. Correspondent Anderson Cooper explores AI in the classroom and learns how the education nonprofit Khan Academy teamed up with the AI company OpenAI to enhance teacher efficiency and deepen student learning. Cooper previews a voice and vision technology from OpenAI, and test-drives a pioneering online tutor named “Khanmigo” from Khan Academy to experience firsthand how the two companies are hoping to help shape the future of education. Mezcal is having its moment. This handcrafted Mexican spirit, made from agave, has seen exponential growth in popularity and production. Correspondent Cecilia Vega travels to Oaxaca and meets the mezcaleros laboring to quench the world's thirst for mezcal. The deeper you travel into Oaxaca's countryside, the harder mezcaleros cling to their ancestral methods and the louder they'll tell you: there's a price to pay for this mezcal boom.
