We unpack how to use decodable texts with precision so beginners practise the code instead of guessing. We share the biggest mistakes schools make, how to spot readiness to transition, and a staged text diet that blends decodables with rich literature.• reframing the debate around suitability, not good or bad • defining novice readers by code knowledge, not age • risks of mixing leveled and decodable texts too early • signs students are ready to shift text types • planning a staged text diet across early years • teaching set for variability while keeping decoding first • free framework to guide movement beyond decodablesAs always, if you found this helpful, I would love to hear from you.

In this episode, Perry M. Gee, Enterprise Director of Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice, Nurse Scientist, and Associate Professor of Research at Intermountain Health, joins the podcast to discuss efforts to grow nursing locally and standardize care delivery. He shares how streamlining practices can lead to better long-term patient outcomes and outlines 2026 initiatives focused on measurable results, stronger workplace culture, and improved communication across care teams.
In this episode, recorded live from the Psych Health and Safety Conference in June 2025, hosts Jason and Joelle chat with Rob Briner, Professor of Organisational Psychology at Queen Mary University of London. Rob breaks down what evidence-based practice means, what it looks like, and pitfalls for HR and WHS professionals to be aware of when considering interventions. This episode includes exclusive audience Q&A, where Rob answers questions submitted by audience members.
In this episode, we weigh the current research on decodable and leveled texts, separate durable findings from weak claims, and explore which research findings we can confidently base decisions on. Some of the research focus explored in this episode are: • strengths and limits of the research base• how decodables build early decoding and pseudoword reading• strategy differences prompted by text type• why early gains fade without progression• cautions around comprehension claims and knowledge• aligning texts to scope and sequence and student readinessHas something in this episode resonated with you?

Tania's advanced training program which is starting on February 25th: https://deepmindpt.com/deep-mind-mastery In this episode, I'm joined by Tania Kalkidis for a deep, evidence-based conversation on the growing gap between research, academic psychology, and real-world clinical practice — with a sharp focus on the DSM and its role in modern mental health care. Together, we unpack the challenges of evidence-based practice in psychology, questioning how closely current diagnostic frameworks align with the latest scientific research. We explore where clinical practice diverges from academic psychology, why this matters for clients and clinicians alike, and how systemic pressures shape diagnostic decision-making. A key focus of this conversation is the Australian mental health system, including how DSM-driven practice operates within local funding, training, and service delivery models — and how this compares to psychological practice in the United States. We examine similarities and differences in diagnosis, treatment pathways, professional accountability, and the influence of insurance and policy on clinical care. This episode is essential listening for psychologists, therapists, mental health professionals, students, researchers, and anyone interested in how psychology is actually practiced versus how it's taught and studied. If you care about scientific integrity, ethical practice, and the future of mental health diagnosis, this conversation offers clarity, critique, and nuance. Topics covered include: Evidence-based practice vs. diagnostic tradition Limitations and controversies surrounding the DSM Clinical psychology and academic research misalignment Mental health systems in Australia vs. the United States Implications for clinicians, clients, and policy

In this candid conversation, host Robert Santana sits down with Zoe Schroeder, RD—owner of Zoe Schroeder Nutrition and known as Fat Loss RD—to explore the messy reality behind becoming a nutrition professional. After connecting at a wellness event in Scottsdale, they dive deep into Zoe's transformation from a college student doing three-a-day workouts and dangerous Pinterest cleanses to becoming the evidence-based coach she needed during those struggles.Zoe opens up about her freshman 15 experience, the toxic cycle of restriction and over-exercise, and even wrapping herself in saran wrap with coffee grounds (yes, really). But more importantly, she shares how hitting rock bottom with disordered eating led her to switch from nursing to nutrition—using herself as a case study to understand metabolism, proper fueling, and sustainable body composition changes.This episode tackles the gap between clinical dietetics and real-world coaching, why telling people to "eat less, move more" fails spectacularly, and how both hosts learned that helping clients means addressing the emotional and psychological relationship with food—not just handing out meal plans. If you've ever felt like you were doing "everything right" but still stuck, or wondered why nutrition advice seems so contradictory, this honest discussion offers practical insights on building habits that actually last beyond the honeymoon phase.
This article and podcast episode explore how Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) principles can be understood through EYFS language and practice. Mikaela Green, clinical director of therapeutic services and principal of First Bridge School, shows how strategies such as breaking learning into small steps, celebrating success, and creating enabling environments align seamlessly with EYFS priorities. Drawing on research evidence and examples from First Bridge Education, Mikaela highlights how educators can use evidence-based approaches to motivate children, reduce barriers, and support inclusive learning.

The difference between curiosity and commitment can make or break a literacy journey. We close our sixth season by drawing a clear line between being interested in structured literacy and being devoted to outcomes for every student, then map how teams can cross that line together. Along the way, we unpack five behaviour groups you'll recognise in any staffroom, from early adopters to the special-case sceptics, and explain why labelling people as resistant often hides a deeper truth about capability and vulnerability.Has something in this episode resonated with you?

The word exposure gets thrown around a lot in schools, especially when a student is behind in phonics or spelling. In this episode, Jocelyn takes a hard look at that belief and explains why presence in a lesson is not the same as learning, particularly for skills that are biologically secondary, like reading and writing. This episode covers: • why exposure is not learning for secondary skills• what explicit teaching demands of attention and practice• how misuse of the term exposure clouds decisions• where whole-class text work fits and when it does not• why working memory limits should guide task design• how to use data to decide groupings and next steps• when to apply exposure without expectation in early years• practical ways to target phonics and spelling gapsHas something in this episode resonated with you?

We all hear a lot about making sure we are using "evidence-based" or "evidence-informed" practice, but what exactly is that? How can we ensure we are clearly taking the research and applying it correctly and effectively in the real world? How do we know when to generalize and when not to? What things within the context of the patient or therapist should be considered when we are choosing the best treatment strategies for our patients? These are the things D.r Zach Baker and Dr. Corrie Jones chat through in this podcast episode!
Welcome back to Practical for Your Practice! In our Season 7 kickoff, hosts Drs. Jenna Ermold, Kevin Holloway, and Carin Lefkowitz set the stage for a new theme: The Seven Sins of Evidence-Based Practice. Inspired by Carin's favorite film Seven, this season dives into the common pitfalls clinicians face when delivering EBPs and how we can learn, grow, and support each other through them.In this episode, our hosts get candid about their own “sins”:Kevin reflects on the dangers of “EBP stew” – straying from validated protocols without consultation.Carin admits to the “sexy assessment sin” – neglecting routine and thorough assessment, both at intake and throughout treatment.Jenna opens up about perfectionism – the belief that you must be flawless before implementing EBPs, which can hold clinicians back from valuable learning experiences.Together, they emphasize that these “sins” aren't failings, they're part of being human and growing as providers. With humor, food analogies, and lots of honesty, the team models how to normalize mistakes, seek consultation, and embrace imperfection on the path to better care.Actionable Intel:Stick close to validated EBP protocols and get consultation to avoid drift.Invest in both initial and ongoing assessment to guide treatment decisions and track progress.Don't let perfectionism keep you from starting – growth happens in the doing.Join the Conversation: Have your own “EBP sin” to confess?

Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! We examine why educational practices often fail to stick in schools despite initial enthusiasm and training. The key insight is that sustainable implementation requires building systems where practices become embedded in school culture rather than being treated as temporary initiatives.• The implementation dip occurs when the "shine of the new" wears off and teachers must embed practices for the long term• Different teachers need different types of support – some need training, others coaching, mentoring, or collaborative relationships• Moving beyond compliance-focused implementation to helping teachers understand the purpose behind practices• Building systems means creating conditions where the practice becomes easier to do than not to do• Successful schools measure implementation by impact on student learning, not by teacher compliance• Creating systems that hold practices in place when inevitable pressures of the school year emerge• Connecting practices to outcomes helps everyone understand why implementation mattersRemember, you likely already have everything you need to make this work. Focus on building systems that will support you when things get challenging – that's when your system needs to be strongest.Lead the Shift That LastsThe only whole-school transformation pathway that builds trust, develops teacher thinking, and equips leaders to lead sustainable change from within while building a deep understanding of human cognition and evidence-based practice.

Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! We must be strategic about harnessing teachable moments to ensure they enhance rather than distract from our learning objectives. Even experienced educators can get swept up in exciting classroom discussions that inadvertently create inequitable learning environments.• The satisfaction of engaging students in rich, spontaneous discussions can sometimes lead us away from our lesson objectives• Developing a "prompt or park" decision framework helps manage student curiosity without sacrificing focus• An "I Wonder Board" provides space to acknowledge student questions while staying on track with lesson goals• Creating schema requires focused attention on the "one thing" students need to learn• When we allow discussions to drift, we create inequitable situations where some students walk away with necessary background knowledge while others don't• All learning should build toward summative tasks, so distractions that don't serve this purpose should be parked• Assuming students have background knowledge because "they learned it last year" is risky—hope is not a strategyBe intentional about teachable moments because in those wonderful engaging experiences, we might be distracting students from essential learning.

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast, hosted by Pat Iyer. In this episode, Pat sits down with Dr. Charles Grodzin—a board-certified pulmonologist and critical care physician, seasoned expert witness, and co-editor of an upcoming handbook on pulmonary embolism. Together, they delve into the world of evidence-based practice in medicine, demystifying what the term truly means and how providers can effectively integrate the latest knowledge into patient care. Dr. Grodzin shares his passion for improving the understanding and management of pulmonary embolism, shedding light on why this often-misunderstood condition needs more attention in both clinical settings and the courtroom. The conversation covers the challenges of applying evidence-based standards to rare conditions, the importance of staying up-to-date in the age of rapid information access, and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and care. This episode offers valuable perspectives on the intersection of medicine, law, and ethics. You'll also get an inside look at the role of expert witnesses, the nuances of defining standard of care, and the necessity of objectivity and integrity in legal medical reviews. Pat, Kenna, and Grace also discuss potential nursing liability, particularly around failure to speak up or document concerns during procedures, calculation errors with weight-based medications, and issues with informed consent—especially if a surgeon adds a procedure without patient agreement. Additional topics include the complexities of healing (such as keloid scarring), how patient expectations sometimes don't align with outcomes, and the unique risks of pediatric plastic surgery. They also touch on rare but devastating occurrences like operating room fires, sharing a poignant case involving a young child to underscore the importance of safety protocols and clear communication. The episode wraps up with practical advice for legal professionals interested in consulting on plastic surgery cases, along with contact information for Kenna and Grace's consulting business. What you'll learn in this episode on How Evidence-Based Practice Impacts Patient Care and Malpractice Cases : There's plenty to learn in this honest, practical discussion about the current and future state of evidence-based medicine. What is evidence-based practice in medicine, and how do healthcare providers incorporate it into their daily work? How does evidence-based practice apply to rare medical conditions that a provider may have never encountered before? What are the challenges and considerations when comparing standards of care between large tertiary hospitals and smaller community hospitals? How are artificial intelligence (AI) tools being used in the diagnosis and management of conditions like pulmonary embolism, and what is required for their adoption in clinical practice? How should expert witnesses remain objective when reviewing cases for attorneys, and what is their role in providing medical expertise during litigation?

Prescription medications are fairly controversial these days – cost, insurance coverage, efficacy, and too often, medications are dosed incorrectly, cause toxic side effects or just don't work. But what if we could change how we prescribe drugs, what if there was a 3D printer that could design pills that adapt to an individual's needs, and maybe print-on-demand the medications tailored to the patient? Or what if there was a real-world device that worked like the diagnostic Tricorder we imagined watching Star Trek? How about AI-infused antiviral discoveries and laboratory-level diagnostic tools accessible via your smartphone? These ideas and technologies, and many more, are paving the way to a more democratized, connected and data-driven future of medicine, and personalized care. And this is the world where Dr. Daniel Kraft thrives. Daniel is a Stanford and Harvard trained physician-scientist with more than 25 years of experience in clinical practice, biomedical research, and innovation. He is Founder and Chair for NextMed.Health, a program which explores convergent, rapidly developing technologies and their potential to reshape the future of health and biomedicine, and he is the Faculty Chair for Medicine at Singularity University. I'm not sure if we can call Daniel a medical futurist, as he seems to be a co-creator of that future, but I asked about what some of the various technologies transforming patient care in the next decade may be, as well as some of the exciting innovations he's seen in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies recently. Daniel had a great deal to say about his thoughts on that vis-à-vis personalized medicine. We wrapped up with Daniel sharing who's influenced you him and his work, and the various mentors he had in his various areas of interest. He also shared advice for young medical professionals interested in innovation and entrepreneurship. Daniel's work and life are a testament to the benefit that cross-disciplinary approaches, augmented by technological innovations, can bring to medicine and healthcare. While Daniel's work saves lives, he also serves as an inspiration for all of us to live our lives more fully.
