The job market continues to remain tight, with none tighter than the healthcare industry. For more than 10 years, our next guest's organization has been working to engage and interest students in healthcare careers through actual experience.

Mike Switzer interviews Al Squire, executive director of the MedEx Academy, part of Prisma Health in Greenville, SC.

There's little worse than being told what you have to do, when you have to do it, and how. And especially when kids are involved, they're pretty good at digging in their heels and refusing. Ask any parent or teacher!   But we're still telling kids what they have to learn, how they have to learn it, and when. We're doing a disservice to them and, frankly, to the teachers who have to follow the prescribed curriculum.   Thank goodness teachers like Tanya King exist. Teachers who are using data and proven strategies to break the mold and truly get students excited about learning. Tanya, an award-winning 6th grade teacher in Washington state, champions the idea of letting go of control and letting students lead their own learning.    And what she's doing works! With kids regularly making two school years' of progress while in her care, they're no longer missing school or checking out mentally because they're bored or uninspired. She takes inspiration to the next level.   Listen in to find out how Tanya is doing it differently! About Tanya King: Tanya King, also known as Mrs. KB, is a 6th-grade teacher in the Edmonds School District. She is in her 22nd year of teaching, holds a BA in Elementary Ed, Special Education K-12, a Masters in Integrating Technology, and is National Board Certified. It is her mission to empower students to become lifelong learners and instill within them a belief they can reach any goal he/she sets for him/herself. By teaching students to believe in themselves and take ownership of their learning, her students know they can tackle any task. Students come to school because they have to; Mrs. KB has created a learner-driven class and kids come because they want to! Her mottos? Be the Captain of your Own Destiny!

This week is a really special episode where we get to hear from some incredible students and teachers from around the world with one thing in common! They are all doing amazing work to explore the possibilities that come when we invite learners to be much more involved in who directs the learning process, what gets learned and what the role of the educators is in our schools. We will hear from Amalia, Mehrbanoo, Bruno and Ollie at International School of the Hague, Natalia, Bryant, and Mark at Avenues School, New York, Michaela, Lauren, and James at Northern Bay College in Geelong, and lastly Charlie, Josie, Dylan and Nathan at Prahran High School in Melbourne. Despite working in very different contexts and being at different stages of the process, what you'll hear is that many of the challenges and successes are the same! How much structure is the right amount to give learners freedom but also support at the right time? What skills and approaches to learning do students need and quickly develop as part of this work? How do we reduce the 'fear-factor' of these changes among parents, teachers, school leaders and sometimes amongst students themselves? How do assessments and curriculum structures also need to develop to make sure that these shifts are well-supported rather than working against the system? Because when you hear these students tell their stories, there is NO QUESTION about how significant and real the benefits are of giving them more ownership and control over their learning. For more background on the theory and practices around supporting student agency, you can check out episode 86 with Larissa Raymond and Jayne-Louise Collins.

Of all the challenges teachers say they struggle with, trying to facilitate a discussion when students aren't engaging–or aren't engaging meaningfully–seems to come up the most often. One of the most common reasons students are hesitant to share their ideas in class is because they are worried that what they have to say is “wrong.” In other words, they think that to participate effectively in class discussion they are supposed to answer the teacher's questions correctly. They don't actually understand what is expected of them as a participant in a purposeful discussion, dialogue, or debate. They are intimidated by a process that doesn't make sense to them. In today's episode of Let's Talk Facilitation, I talk about why some students are confused about their role in class discussions and how exactly to support them to speak up, and to speak up effectively. So grab your pen and paper, pop in your ear buds, and get ready to make a plan with the concrete steps I offer to inspire more engagement in your classes.

The B.C. Coroners Service has released its report into last summer's deadly heat dome, finding that 619 deaths were heat-related. We talk to Dr. Jatinder Baidwan, chief medical officer of the B.C. Coroners Service about what's needed to protect people who are most vulnerable to extreme heat. And in our second half, the pandemic has taken its toll on education. Professor and dean at Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Education, Kris Magnusson, joins us to talk about how Covid-19 has disrupted learning, and how we can get students up to speed.

Whether you are outgoing, shy, or “it's complicated,” when we find something we are excited about and in the mood to talk about and we get into the zone… any one of us can go on and on and on! There is nothing more fun (if I do say so myself) than talking at length about a subject you care deep;y about, especially when you are with others who also share your enthusiasm. And there are certainly times, in the classroom included, when you should be in the spotlight, pontificating and storytelling and musing at length so that others can learn from your expertise and insights. But there are other times, especially during class discussions, when the students are better served by your measured guidance and active listening–not so much your prolific speaking. When the facilitator talks too much, it eats up time that students could otherwise be speaking. It can intimidate certain students who worry their contributions could never equal your own and so it can therefore discourage some students from speaking up even when the floor is open to them. And when you speak too much, it can actually derail the discussion–focusing attention on you and where you want the discussion to go, not necessarily on what is piquing the interests of the students and what they are wanting to explore. In other words, when you talk too much, you risk interfering with your students' learning. So how do you step back and let go a bit as a facilitator? In today's episode of Let's Talk Facilitation, I have a heart-to-heart with my listeners who struggle with finding the right balance of talking, guiding, and listening in their classes. I share three mistakes overly talkative facilitators make that inadvertently shut down conversation, and what you can do instead. Of all the problems facilitators have to work through, and as challenging as this may be for some, learning to step back is a pretty great place to be working from. After all, it means you are super enthusiastic about what you are teaching! And that's a wonderful gift for your students. Today, I'll just help you finesse it. FREE BONUS!

What do you do when you've worked hard to get everything ready for your class to have an amazing discussion–picking out interesting readings, creating provocative discussion prompts, making a plan for leading interactive activities to engage those questions about the readings–and then you get to class only to discover… Many of the students HAVEN'T EVEN DONE THE READING, so there is no way for them to participate well, if at all!In today's episode I share a series of pedagogically sound approaches to encourage students to do the readings and be ready to participate in class discussions–no begging or threatening needed! At the end of the day, students are their own people and will make their own choices–it isn't our place to force anyone to do anything. And with the covid19 pandemic still underway, a lot of people–our students and us–are exhausted, stressed out, or grieving. Cutting everyone a little extra slack (and coming prepared with a plan b if students just haven't done the readings) can go a long way. But to provide the greatest opportunity and increase the likelihood that students who have the capacity to do the reading actually make the effort to do so, you can make some specific, concrete choices in how you run your class. Check out the strategies I offer today and try them out. You just might get more engagement than before! FREE BONUS! Want even more ideas for getting more students to speak up?

The bad news: As social media and cell phones become more prevalent, it seems strong discussion skills are become more scarce. The good news: People can learn how to discuss! Discussion skills can be re-strengthened and taught. This is why discussion should be one of the key pillars in the classroom. In this episode, we talk about ways to teach student how to discuss and share strategies to get them to speak up in class more.

One of the best ways to impact someone and help them reach new levels is to help them change their identity. Getting them to view themselves in a new light may be the first step in their transformation. Helping students begin identifying themselves as leaders is a huge step to creating the positive school culture […] The post Reshaping Identity – Getting Students to Identify as Leaders appeared first on Lead 'Em Up.

Raise your hand if you've ever facilitated a discussion where one or a few students talk and talk and talk to the exclusion of everyone else! Dealing with dominating students is one of the most common sources of frustration that facilitators share with me. They care deeply about creating equitable and accessible spaces for all of their students, but worry about causing harm to overly talkative students by shutting them down. Students themselves report that this is one of the most frustrating dynamics that facilitators handle poorly, so if you want students to feel satisfied with their experience in your classes, this is a problem you are going to want to learn how to address effectively. In today's episode, I'm going to share with you five reasons why certain students tend to dominate, and then five simple strategies for what you can do in response. Getting to the “why” behind this phenomena will help you respond much more strategically when it emerges in your class, and my straightforward strategies should help you hit the ground running. FREE BONUS! Reigning in the dominant speakers is only a piece of the puzzle. Getting the rest of the class to speak up is the other!

Do you ever get frustrated when you come prepared to teach your class full of interesting discussion prompts, and your students just stare at you with blank faces? In today's episode, I dive right into how to get students to talk in class. In particular, I share three of the biggest mistakes I see facilitators make when students are quiet, and what you can do instead. Most college educators are eager to get more students engaged. And while we are all experts in our subjects, and intuitively talented teachers, many of us did not get the support we needed in graduate school to learn best practices for class facilitation. As a result, we've had to learn to be great teachers on the job. It can be hard enough guiding a group discussion that results in meaningful learning. But if students aren't talking at all, it's impossible! I don't want you to be frustrated any longer, or to mistakenly use well-meaning but ineffective approaches to getting more students engaged. So listen in for some new ideas to go from crickets to lively conversation! FREE BONUS! Want even more ideas for getting more students to speak up?

On this episode of the Talent Acquisition Leaders podcast, host Ryan Dull welcomes Maura Quinn, assistant vice president, university, DEI & emerging talent acquisition at Liberty Mutual Insurance. Maura's story is an interesting one. She started at Liberty directly out of college, and she was the first college graduate hired straight out of school in the human resources department. There wasn't a recruiting role at the company at that time. She was introduced to a group of interns early on, through a program Liberty sponsored, and took to it immediately. She convinced her boss at that time that recruiting students should be her job, even though that job didn't exist. Nearly 20 years later she is still at it. She has built up an impressive program over the years. The company has grown from 33 interns in that initial program to over 1,800 entry-level interns in college hires on an annual basis. She's excited about their diversity, equity and inclusion programs. They currently recruit at all 102 Historically Black Colleges and Universities, unlike most companies that concentrate only on the top five. She's done some great work and it's a fun conversation.

With Laura Frost and Scott Lenhart of Project Dragonfly, Ecoteach, Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist program, and Boardman Glenwood Junior High You can push students beyond their comfort zones by taking them abroad to work in a rustic biological station tucked into dense rainforest. You can also do it at your nearby creek just by implementing an inquiry-based teaching method in an outdoor setting. Laura Frost and Scott Lenhart honed their craft at Miami University's Project Dragonfly and they apply their innovative teaching method daily with their 8th-grade students. In this layered discussion, Laura and Scott share their insights about making distant places locally relevant, pushing the limits of comfort, learning local, and engaging with community members.    Guests: Laura Frost and Scott Lenhart have been teaching 8th-grade science together at Boardman Glenwood Junior High School in Boardman, Ohio since 2013. They both earned Master's degrees from Miami University's Project Dragonfly as part of the Global Field Program. Laura and Scott have also completed the Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist program through Ohio State University. In 2017, they began taking select students on excursions to Costa Rica with EcoTeach. They are currently developing and implementing an outdoor-based curriculum called Project STREAM in collaboration with the Environmental Collaborative of Ohio. Their goal is to connect students to their local environment and professionals in the STEM field.

Ruth and Claire discuss getting students back on track. Ruth finds it works to give students hope that they can recover. Claire finds it helpful to reach out individually to students who are stuck and offer to work together to get them unstuck. Ruth is struggling to know when she needs to stop enabling delusions in students who can't get back on track. Claire is working on increasing the proportion of students who make a comeback after falling behind, and is also experimenting with flexibility around deadlines and the impact it has on students getting back on track. Claire mentioned the Cottrell Scholar Award and the Cottrell Scholar Application Webinar Ruth mentioned Escala Mini Course: Teaching STEM in HSIhttps://rctaudio.com/profpodcast

By the time they reach his classroom as high school freshmen, many students in Nathan Smith's Bible classes are very familiar with the Bible. They're also quite bored with it. Nathan shares his take on some of the systemic blind spots in the Bible education space, and how the narrative-based, whole-book, community discussion model of Immerse has reshaped how he teaches the Bible to his students. Simply reading the words of Scripture rather than "words about the words" helps the Bible come alive for them and changes their lives.64% Of Young People Leaving the Church: https://www.barna.com/research/resilient-disciples/Immerse at Calvin Christian HS: https://youtu.be/Vg_2UsDTL-8Written Reflections from Nathan's Students: https://instituteforbiblereading.org/student-reflections-immerse/The Institute for Bible Reading is a nonprofit ministry.

We're the professionals, right? Who would DREAM of putting students up on the stage? Well, Michelle and Ronald kind of do. When students get up in front of their peers to lead, play games, do announcements, and teach, it validates them and challenges them. Also, it usually means their peers listen more than when the paid youth worker is up there anyway. This week we talk about why we put students up on stage and what you can do to get that going in your own ministry. What part of your program can students handle? Announcements? Games? The lesson? Who would you ask to take on those tasks? How could you train them to do well upfront? What could you do to engage the whole group? Why is getting students up on stage something important to your program?
