 We are back - and with an episode that was come back worthy. In this episode we talk about the intersection of youth mental health and education. Hayes Freedom High School in Camas, Washington has come under threat of consolidation within a district that has a history of shutting down programs that serve the most vulnerable and neurodivergent population in its town. We talked to two teachers about why this "student first" model of education has such a high success rate, why Hayes needs to stay small and in its current location, and what teachers are seeing in our children and their mental health. A special heartfelt thank you to Principal Amy Holmes for creating a trauma informed education setting and to all the teachers that have worked for Hayes past and present. A special shoutout to Monica Winkley and Mark Gardner for coming on the show to talk about these important issues.Links to mental health surveys discussed in today's show:https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2022/p0331-youth-mental-health-covid-19.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/2023/02/13/1156610138/the-mental-health-of-teen-girls-and-lgbtq-teens-has-worsened-since-2011https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/02/13/1156663966/teen-girls-and-lgbtq-youth-plagued-by-violence-and-trauma-survey-saysIf your ready to work with us or for more information about Kimberly and her work check out our website at https://www.coachwithkimberly.comFollow us on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachwithkimberlyInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/coachwithkimberlyEmail us with any questions! hellocoachkimberly@gmail.comIf you like the podcast - don't forget to share it with a friend!

NBC’s highly anticipated production focuses on different chapters of Dwayne Johnson’s life. Lexie explains how she play’s the character “Karen”. Johnson’s 15 Year old girlfriend through his time attending Freedom High School in Bethlehem Pennsylvania…”I love Karen as a character because she is so much more than what you initially see.  Karen can easily be labelled as the popular rich girl, who’s very materialistic and sometimes kind of mean”, the actress explains.  Going onto point out that it was initially a challenge to workout Karen’s many layers, but felt she understood her on a much deeper level. Through her preparation for the role, she explains how she could not ignore the reason behind Dwayne’s infatuation with her.  To help the audience understand why Dwayne would want to pursue such a high maintenance character, Duncan did her best to play against the stereotype, where she could.  In doing so, discovering that Karen was not necessarily a mean girl; simply an individual who did not hide her opinions – without the filter.

Scott Lunger was the "good cop" on the Freedom High School varsity softball coaching staff. Players loved the good-natured humor that the infield coach often used to teach and motivate them. But Lunger was also a cop in real life, a 15-year sergeant for the Hayward Police Department. And on July 22, 2016, he was shot and killed during a traffic stop at 3:15 in the morning. A little more than one week later, the Freedom school year began. Six months later, as many as a dozen girls showed up to softball tryouts still very much in mourning. Three months after that, they'd be placing a game ball from their North Coast Section Division I championship victory next to Lunger's headstone. To mark the fifth anniversary of that inspiring season, we gathered two players and two coaches from that team to share memories. Head coach Brook Russo, assistant coach Scott Adams, pitcher Vanessa Strong and catcher Faith Derby each detailed what went into a season that was dedicated to a fallen friend and hero — and became known as the "Business Trip."

On this episode, I chat with Liberty Union High School District trustee Erick Stonebarger who released data last week on the failure rate of nearly 30% after the District moved to Distance Learning, this is more than a 100% increase compared to last year. If you like the show, please consider a donation: https://patron.podbean.com/contracostatoday   00:36 – Introduction of Erick Stonebarger 01:20 – We get into data released by the Liberty Union High School District regarding 28% of the District under a 2.0 GPA and 14% with a 1.0 GPA or below. This is for Heritage High School, Freedom High School and Liberty High School in the cities of Brentwood and Oakley. Stonebarger highlights it’s the same teachers, same students and it’s a system problem, not a teacher and student problem.   06:00 – Given the data being new, has the District been able to dig deeper into the reason behind the low grades such as homelife, technology, mental health, overwhelmed, etc.  Stonebarger highlights how 1/3 of the students have no chance in this structure of Distance Learning. 09:55 – Stonebarger argues when you go from 1100 kids to 2100 kids to a failure rate, they need to do something different because right now is not working and its impacting kids. He blames those making decisions will not discuss the balance of the whole child—including Contra Costa Health Department who is only talking about one aspect. 11:19 – We get into social emotional issues, teachers are seeing the grades, will teachers question the job they are doing, it has to be devastating considering the amount of time they are putting into it. 12:55 – We talk about human connection for kids with their teachers versus screen time. 15:00 – I ask Stonebarger how Liberty Union High School District addressed the digital divide. 16:45 – Frustration with Contra Costa County Board of Education and Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. I argue for shutdowns by zip code, not the whole county. 17:55 – Stonebarger says they need to look at the data and sit down with the county and see if they can reopen or not. I suggest why not put the 28% kids who are struggling and place those kids back in a classroom.  They can be the ones who go back first. Stonebarger argues they need to have that conversation and option. 19:01 – Stonebarger gets into the three options for Distance Learning which is 20% of the kids, now the school population is reduced by 20%. Now focus on the 80% who could return to school. Says the county is not having that conversation—especially County Board of Education and Superintendents meetings. 22:15 – Stonebarger says he released data to begin having a conversation. He says its not the teachers doing a bad job, they are doing the best they can in the learning environment—the learning environment changed. 25:46 – Has the District broke down the data of those 28% who are failing. What is their homelife and have parents been surveyed? Family dynamics at play? 28:43 – Will the reopening in January happen? What is Stonebarger hearing from parents? 30:50 – We talk about the California Teachers Union stance of not wanting to go back until there is a vaccine.  But a conversation around a vaccine will have to happen. Still no discussion on cost of reopening. 34:50 – Concerns with kids now given the data with kids. I urge the District to dig deeper into the 30% not passing and figure out why. 38:16 – Is the plan to have kids rotate in and out of classrooms on return or will the teachers rotate classrooms?  Maybe 1/3 of the kids go back, asks to local level to be able to make the decision to reopen because they are seeing the effects. 40:29 – With the County/State being in Purple Tier, what is the next step? Stonebarger is asking for a change in policy on a waiver for K-12 schooling.  Says the rules are not logical. We also get into the County Health Numbers. 47:00 – This idea of students being in school for a few hours, if they are already there, why cant students be at school all day? 49:00 – I argue many superintendents are not leading, including Contra Costa County Board of Education. I urge other Districts release their “failure rate” and showcase what is happening to students. We get into how schools are the safest place for them. 54:58 – Stonebarger gives brief update on Special Education and what could happen. 56:19 – Will Liberty Union High School District release the full report and more data? Stonebarger says the District needs to communicate data to the County and post the data on the website. Says this should begin to force the conversation. 58:00 – data is for Brentwood, but what is going on in other areas with greater socioeconomic challenges, what would their numbers show?   More info: https://eastcountytoday.net/liberty-union-high-school-district-board-approves-hybrid-reopening-plan-failure-rates-concerning/

It's the end of the week, so it's also a perfect opportunity for the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - to delve into the latest issues surrounding UW Athletics and recruiting. And there's no bigger story right now than Michigan canceling their scheduled trip to Montlake in early September. The Big Ten announced Thursday they were eliminating all non-conference football games, so it not only affected the Michigan-Washington game, but the Ohio State-Oregon game. Will the Pac-12 follow suit, and if they do (which seems likely at this point), how will they go about salvaging the rest of the 2020 season if they can? They move from that story into recruiting, where they talk about one of Washington's latest verbal commitments - Renton's Siaosi Finau - and how tough it is to project a player without getting a chance to see much of them in games or off-season camps. Brandon Huffman and Greg Biggins made Washington recruiting fans happy with two recent crystal ball projections for the Huskies. Grinolds, Fetters, and Eklund talk about those two prospects - O'Dea's Owen Prentice and DB Vincent Nunley from Freedom High School in the Bay Area - as well as how those potential commits could impact not only the 2021 recruiting class, but the 2022 class as well.

When asked, "who is Jason Webb," the answer is... I was born August 5 th , 1976, in Charlotte, NC. Grew up in Morganton, NC, with my mother, younger brother and maternal grandparents. Graduated from Freedom High School in 1994, and attended Appalachian State University for one year. Came back home and met my future wife in the summer of 1995. I was 1 week away from turning 19, and she was 15. Told my friend I was with the night I met her that I would spend the rest of my life with her, and declared this only five minutes after we had met. Married September 30, 2000, and my wife Angie and I have two kids: Connor, age 15, and Macey, age 11. We live in Morganton, NC. I enjoy shooting, golf, writing, spending time with my family, and also working with individuals who have PTSD, and international mission work in Busia, Uganda, through my nonprofit organization Springs of Hope – US. I also serve as a Law Enforcement / Public Safety Chaplain, a supply pastor for our local Baptist Association, and a deacon at my church.
