Podcasts about Grade

The World Cup is delivering, and not just on the pitch. This week we start with a genuine feel-good moment: cross-cultural chaos and connection across North America, from Cape Verde stunning Spain in Atlanta to a German tourist discovering Helen, GA and a Japanese visitor writing a love letter to free chips and salsa. Sometimes the world is actually kind of great. Then we get into it. AI is officially the number one reason people are losing their jobs in 2026. We dig into the 2026 International AI Safety Report, which finds that AI is impressive in some areas and genuinely concerning in others. These tools might be making us worse at the very things we're supposed to be getting better at. We also get into AI and grade inflation — a new Berkeley study finds professors in writing- and coding-heavy courses are handing out significantly more A's post-ChatGPT. And Pam weighs in from a journalism angle on what AI can and can't do for freelancers, and we get honest about the tasks we've tried to hand off to AI that just... made more work. And in this week's installment of After Dark, it's the AI Honesty Corner: we asked our AI platforms to profile us, roast us, and name our blind spots. The accuracy was mixed, occasionally devastating, and in at least one case, deeply funny. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this behind-the-scenes episode, Sharona and Boz take listeners inside the early stages of designing a brand-new (to Sharona) course: a general education quantitative reasoning class she affectionately describes as “Math for Humans.” Using the conversation itself as a form of reflective practice, Sharona and Boz unpack the challenges of building a grading architecture, selecting meaningful assessments, and creating authentic learning experiences for students who may never take another mathematics course. Along the way, they wrestle with broad learning outcomes, project-based assessment, collaborative grading, student agency, and the growing influence of AI on both learning and assessment. The discussion explores difficult questions about what students actually need to know, how educators can balance structure with autonomy, and whether traditional academic skills still make sense in a world where AI tools are readily available. More than a conversation about one course, this episode offers a candid look at the uncertainty, experimentation, and reflection that accompany thoughtful course design and demonstrates why redesigning a course is often less about finding answers than about asking better questions.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

Chaim Grade was born in 1910 in Vilna, Poland. In his youth, Grade was a student of the Novaredok Musar Yeshiva and of Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz. He was also a founding member of the Yung-Vilne literary group, known for its leftist politics, secular Jewish thinking, and literary influence. After losing both his mother and wife during the Holocaust, he emerged as one of the most prolific and defining Yiddish voices in post-war literature. Besides publishing several volumes of poetry, he is best known for his two acclaimed novels, The Agunah and The Yeshiva. In early 2023, YIVO and the National Library of Israel (NLI) completed the digitization of the Papers of Chaim Grade and Inna Hecker Grade. The collection helps to illustrate Grade's literary development and impact on Yiddish literature, from his earliest poetic works written in Vilna and the Soviet Union to his prolific and accomplished prose work composed mainly in the United States. Join YIVO and NLI for a panel discussion of Grade's legacy with Ruth Wisse, Ofer Dynes, and Curt Leviant, led by scholar and translator Justin Cammy.

Episode 171 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with the first place Chicago White Sox, who suddenly sit atop the AL Central at 36-31 after starting the season 6-13. We break down whether this surge is actually sustainable, how Chicago has gone 29-17 since April 18, why their top-five offense has changed the entire outlook, and how Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Davis Martin, and top prospect Braden Montgomery have turned the White Sox into one of baseball's best stories. From there, we dive into Bryce Eldridge's unbelievable signature moment in San Francisco. Just two days after striking out with a chance to tie the game, the 21-year-old rookie launched an ultimate grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to complete an 11-10 Giants comeback over the Nationals. We discuss the Giants erasing a 9-1 deficit, Eldridge becoming the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam, Matt Chapman's monster game, and one of the most improbable wins in franchise history. We also discuss Ronald Acuña Jr. landing back on the injured list with another Grade 1 left hamstring strain, what it means for the Braves, and the bigger question of whether he is still a superstar. Acuña's 2023 MVP résumé is undeniable, but with two IL stints this season, multiple major injuries since 2021, and current numbers below his usual standard, the conversation has shifted from talent to availability. Plus, Drew Rasmussen dominates the Red Sox with a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, Max Scherzer reaches 3,500 career strikeouts while his season-long struggles continue, the Athletics and Brewers turn Las Vegas Ballpark into a launching pad, Dalton Rushing's villain reputation grows after another controversial slide, and we make our official Men's College World Series picks with Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Troy all fighting for Omaha.

Is higher education facing a credibility crisis? In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riano, President of Cornerstone University, to discuss Harvard's controversial decision to cap A grades, the growing problem of grade inflation, declining public trust in colleges, and how artificial intelligence is transforming education. Dr. Moreno-Riano explains why grade inflation may be undermining the value of college degrees, how an entitlement culture has impacted academic rigor, and why universities must focus on preparing students for careers and life—not just handing out diplomas. The conversation also explores AI's role in education, workforce readiness, soaring tuition costs, and how innovative institutions like Cornerstone are adapting to the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dave Spencer, Ashley Davis, and Kurt Bardella break down the latest California primary results, the ongoing debate over election counting, and what the results mean for Steve Hilton, Spencer Pratt, and the upcoming runoff races. The conversation then turns to FISA reauthorization, the debate surrounding Section 702, and President Trump's decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. The trio discusses congressional opposition, intelligence oversight, and whether lawmakers can reach an agreement before the current authorization expires. Later in the episode, the trio brings back "Grade the Bias," reviewing media coverage of California election investigations, immigration policy and Donald Trump's recent Meet the Press interview.

June is Pride Month, and on this episode of Grade 1 View, Levi and Kelsey sit down with John Gianitsis, MSNA, CRNA and Carlota Izaguirre, DNP, CRNA and from the Nurse Anesthesiology Pride Foundation (NAPF) to discuss representation, belonging, mental health, and community within the nurse anesthesia profession. We'll also explore the organization's evolution from GALA to NAPF and the important role it plays in supporting LGBTQ+ CRNAs, students, and allies.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

New builds are supposed to feel exciting…so why do so many builder-grade homes feel a little cold, flat, or even generic once you move in? In today's Five Minute Fix, we're talking about one of the most common frustrations I see: loving your home on paper, but struggling to make it feel personal, warm, and custom once you're actually living in it. Because here's the truth: It's not that your home is “bad.” And it's not that you need a full renovation. Most builder-grade homes are designed to be safe, neutral, and broadly appealing—which often means they come without the layers, contrast, and character that make a space feel truly finished. In this episode, you'll learn: Why builder-grade homes often feel cold or generic (even when beautifully decorated) The biggest mistake people make when trying to “fix” a new build feel Why adding more decor usually doesn't solve the problem Simple, high-impact ways to add character and personality without renovating How layering, contrast, and intentional choices create a custom feel over time This is one of those shifts that changes everything—not because you're starting over, but because you finally understand how to see your home differently. And if you've ever looked around and thought, “I don't hate my home…I just wish it felt more like me,” this episode will give you a completely new perspective. Ready to go beyond quick fixes? Inside The Collective, I teach you how to layer, style, and pull your home together so it feels cohesive, intentional, and deeply personal—without guessing, overbuying, or starting from scratch.

Dr. Danya Khoujah joins GEMCast host Dr. Christina to dive into the first clinical practice guideline in the Geriatric Emergency Department (GED) Guidelines 2.0, which is dedicated to delirium. Delirium is a clinical syndrome characterised by acute and fluctuating disturbances of attention, awareness, perception or consciousness and it commonly affects older adults presenting to the ED. However, it is often missed, which has significant impacts on mortality and functional status of older patients. Khoujah is an attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at AdventHealth Tampa in Florida, and host of GEDC's expert-panel webinars. She is part of the multidisciplinary team that created this GRADE-based clinical guideline, and in this episode, she talks through the development and recommendations arising from the guideline. The group aimed to assess the quality and applicability of direct and indirect evidence, with the goal of providing ED clinicians a patient-centred approach to delirium.

In this episode, Sharona and Boz welcome back David Clark to unpack his recent end-of-semester “3x3x3” reflection blog post for Grading for Growth. Using a structure of three surprises, three lessons learned, and three lingering questions, the conversation explores everything from refining standards-based grading systems after more than a decade of iteration to the growing reality that students themselves are beginning to read and discuss alternative grading literature. Along the way, the trio dives into the importance of positive feedback, the role of classroom relationships and physical learning spaces, the challenges of designing meaningful assessments in the age of AI, and the tension between flexibility and structure in student learning.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to review the key metrics returned from the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Rowan Deposit and the first numbers from the Mt Jamie deposit.  Both Rowan and Mt Jamie are satellite deposits nearby the flagship Madsen Gold Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.  We also discuss some of the exploration news on tap in 2026 around the Madsen Mine.   HIGHLIGHTS:   Rowan Indicated gold ounces (“oz”) increased by 70% to 334,825 oz grading 13.03 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”), compared to 478,707 tonnes containing 196,747 oz grading 12.78 g/t Au in the 2025 MRE. Rowan Inferred gold oz increased by 52% to 179,013 oz grading 15.31 g/t Au, compared to 421,181 tonnes containing 118,155 oz grading 8.73 g/t Au in the 2025 MRE. Gold resource grade increased by 2% in the Indicated category and 75% in the Inferred category. Significant resource growth achieved with minimal exploration expenditures of C$3.5 million and relatively low drilling meters of 6,300m, representing a modest discovery cost of approximately C$17.60/oz gold. New drilling successfully expanded and upgraded several high-grade vein structures, including Veins 003, 006 and 013. Rowan continues to rank among the highest-grade undeveloped gold deposits in Canada based on an Indicated resource grade of 13.03 g/t Au. An initial resource estimate for the Mt. Jamie deposit was also prepared which includes an Indicated resource of 49,407 oz grading 14.13 g/t Au, with an additional Inferred resource of 35,791 oz grading 11.97 g/t Au. The Mt. Jamie deposit is located approximately 2km west of Rowan and shows strong potential for becoming an additional high-grade satellite in WRLG's Red Lake portfolio which presents obvious synergies to any future extraction scenario at Rowan. Expansion potential remains strong at Rowan and Mt. Jamie with mineralization open at depth and along strike and multiple vein zones demonstrating strong continuity beyond the currently modeled mineral domains.   ROWAN 2026 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE:   The 2026 MRE update for Rowan incorporates an additional thirty-seven (37) holes for 6,300m of oriented HQ diamond drill core since the June 2025 MRE. A total of twenty-two (22) mineral domains were created to constrain the Rowan mineralization. This is a reduction from the twenty-six (26) domains used in the June 2025 MRE. The M&I resources from Rowan will factor into the upcoming combined PFS with Madsen A total of five (5) mineral domains were created to constrain the Mt. Jamie mineralization using drilling data in the existing database.   Will mentions that more assays are still pending from the ongoing surface drilling into the prior-producing Starratt-Olsen area; which is near-surface and adjacent to the Fork deposit.   There will be upcoming underground drilling planned along Austin 904 Zone, South Austin 4447 Zone, and the 13 East Drive drifting over into Lower Austin and eventually Derlak.     If you have any follow up questions for the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email me at  Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to visit the West Red Lake Gold website and read over the recent news we discussed.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

When a company changes its name, sharpens its focus and adds technical leadership with deep Nevada experience, the change is worth noting. Maverick Gold and Silver did not simply rebrand in April 2026. It began building a more focused precious metals story around Nevada, one of North America's most established gold producing jurisdictions.Ian Foreman, VP Exploration, said Nevada was a major reason he joined Maverick. Peter Baxter, Senior Technical Advisor, brings decades of geological and capital markets experience, including extensive field experience in Nevada and 15 years in mining investment banking at Scotiabank. Together, they are helping advance Jericho and Gator, two Nevada gold-silver projects with strong surface indicators, historic work and clear next steps toward drill targeting.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWNevada Focus: Jericho expanded 370% to 1,683 acres on April 30, 2026, after Maverick staked 62 new claims to cover more of the mineralized system.Historic Validation: Jericho has seen small-scale mining and historic exploration, but according to Peter Baxter, it has no recent drilling. Management believes the project was overlooked due to portfolio history, not a negative geological conclusion.Systematic Work Underway: Maverick has 170 samples in the lab from Jericho from systematic sampling across the property. Historic samples cited in the interview included approximately highs of 3.4 g/t gold and 1,200 g/t silver.Gator sits near Battle Mountain in Nevada, with year-round access, a hydrothermal system extending over 7 kilometers and multiple target areas. The company has an existing drill permit in place and is working on permit modifications for GSX and Gator South.Third Project Advancing: Silver Vista in British Columbia remains a key part of the portfolio. Maverick has completed a flow-through financing, has a funded drill program planned and is only awaiting the required drill permit before the drill turns.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSFor junior explorers, jurisdiction matters as much as geology. Grade can attract attention, but location can determine how efficiently a project moves from concept to exploration, and eventually through more advanced stages if results justify it. Nevada offers a rare combination of gold endowment, infrastructure, mining history, technical expertise and an established regulatory framework.That is why Maverick's pivot to Nevada is important. The company is not trying to tell a broad, scattered story. It is concentrating on two projects in a jurisdiction where large gold systems are well understood and where experienced geologists can use modern tools to revisit ground that may not have been fully tested.Peter Baxter pointed to Nevada's major gold belts as mature but not exhausted. He noted that much of the production in north central Nevada has occurred within recent decades, while deeper exploration continues to change how known districts are understood. In his view, modern geophysics, detailed mapping and deeper drill testing can still create meaningful new exploration opportunities in areas with the right surface evidence.The timing is also important. Stronger precious metals markets have increased investor attention on gold and silver exploration, especially in established jurisdictions. Maverick is positioning itself around a simple question: can modern fieldwork and disciplined drilling unlock value from Nevada projects that have surface evidence, historic validation and limited modern testing?VP Exploration Ian Foreman, discussing the company's current fieldwork:“We've got about 170 samples in the lab right now from Jericho… As for Gator, the decision to drill has been made… There is a drill permit in place for the property… we are going to modify that drill permit so that we can put a couple of drill holes down into the GSX target and into Gator South. So, what work we're doing now is, in fact, not for a drill decision, but where the drill holes are going to go.”

What Is an Education Anyway — And Who Gets to Decide? Forget every notion you have been told about what an education is. I want to ask you something I ask every single woman I work with in coaching. What do you believe an education is? And the second question — the one that tends to stop people cold: What did you believe an education was before you started homeschooling? Most of us never actually chose our definition of education. We absorbed it. From school, from our parents, from the culture around us. And then we built an entire homeschool on top of it. And then we wondered why it felt so heavy. And if you’re just starting out and wondering where to begin — I made something for exactly that. The 7-Day Confident Homeschool Roadmap is a free guide that walks you through your first year with clarity rather than overwhelm. Grab it below. Get your free 7-Day Confident Homeschool Mom Roadmap What Is an Education Anyway? The Definition Most of Us Inherited If you grew up in a conventional school system, your working definition probably sounds something like this: Education is the successful delivery of academic content across subjects. Demonstrated through coverage, completion, and measurable progress. Coverage. Completion. No gaps. Not falling behind. Making sure it’s enough. Sound familiar? That definition is exhausting. And it’s not even working in schools. Teachers leave many pages of their curriculum undone at the end of every year. There are interruptions. Substitute teachers. Sick days. Stops and starts. There is no perfectly covered, hundred-percent-completed, no-gaps education happening in a classroom either. And the very academic kids who were force-fed information and tested weekly? How much of that actually stuck? How much of it translated into a purposeful, meaningful life? It is not possible to create a perfectly covered education. Not in a school. Not in your homeschool. The sooner you stop measuring yourself against that standard, the sooner you can build something that actually works. If this is landing for you and you want to hear me unpack it further — I’m also diving into this on my YouTube channel. Same episode, same conversation. Watch it here → https://youtu.be/1T8pINVSeXc Do You Need a Teaching Degree to Define Your Child’s Education? And if you question whether you have the intelligence to answer that question — don’t be in self-doubt. Of course you do. This is your child. Does it seem daunting? It likely does. But it doesn’t have to. I’ve stopped counting the number of times I’ve been asked if I’m a certified teacher. Nope. I’m not. Does being a certified teacher enable me to educate my children better at home? Nope. It doesn’t. In fact, statistically, being a certified teacher has no bearing on a child’s home education. Teachers have classroom management skills. They know standardized learning materials. They have years of experience that homeschooling parents might not have in the beginning — and I am not denying those skills for a moment. But it doesn’t mean I’m not more motivated to learn how to engage my children’s education than someone else. When I asked a kindergarten teacher about Grade 2 math, she didn’t know what to say. When I asked a high school English teacher how to approach a history discussion with an elementary-aged child, she was stumped too. Turns out, teachers don’t have the full breadth of knowledge either. And I’m certainly not claiming to either. Why do we think we need to? Google doesn’t have it all. Neither does YouTube. But both are pretty helpful. And when they aren’t, there are always books. Lots and lots and LOTS of books. You just need to know where to find the information. A little research and it’s findable.  So Where Do You Find What You Need? When I was in junior high, we bought our first computer: a Tandy EX 1000. The only computer training we had was a Logo program that did next to nothing for me. I attempted to wield x’s and o’s. I’m pretty sure they meant something, but I didn’t understand. Some thirty years later, anyone who wants to know how to use a computer knows. Anyone who wants to know how to Google, YouTube, Facebook, Tweet — they figured it out. Why? Because they found out, by themselves. Tada. The human mind is capable of figuring things out because it wants to. P.S. You might wonder how I went about structuring a thirteen-year-old’s academic education. Self-Education: The Heart of What an Education Really Is Why do we assume kids need everything taught to them? We assume something needs to be done to them. Before anyone sat them down and formally taught them anything, they had already learned animals, language, and how to navigate relationships. In their first year. Their second. Their fifth — long before they ever walked through a kindergarten door. Kids want to learn. It’s simply what they do. When we ask the question — what is an education anyway? — we’ve just begun to really consider who our children are and what they need. And that is exactly what Charlotte Mason was pointing to. What Is an Education Anyway? Here’s What Charlotte Mason Said. “Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child’s nature.” — Charlotte Mason I have returned to this quote more times than I can count. Because it points to something we already know intuitively. We keep forgetting it when we sit down at the kitchen table and default to the curriculum, the workbooks, the boxes of books, the online programs everyone else is using. Your job is not to pour information into a vessel. Your job is to raise up the child right in front of you. So what does that actually look like in a real homeschool? Here’s one mom’s answer. What Does Real Home Education Actually Look Like? A mom I worked with had been homeschooling for six years, three kids, and had done a lot of the external work — curriculum, systems, showing up every day. And then she went deeper and found her own answer to the question of what an education really is: “Education is a process of exposure to knowledge while learning involves personal processing and growth. Character traits like discernment, self-confidence, and self-management are important outcomes that continue developing long beyond formal education years.” She also said something that stopped me: “Even if no one was watching or assessing my approach, I would maintain similar objectives and methods.” She has found her own answer — not borrowed from the school system, not borrowed from a curriculum company. Entirely hers. And that is what I want for you. For me, the answer starts in the same place it always has — in wanting to engage my child, teach them when necessary, and capture their little hearts. I am most definitely motivated to do that. And so are you. That’s why you’re here. Want to keep going? This conversation continues on my Rethinking Education YouTube channel. Find it here → https://youtu.be/lkFJglpaoqs What is an education anyway? What Is an Education Anyway? Questions to Sit With This Week As you move through your week, gently ask yourself: What definition of education am I actually operating from right now? Did I choose it — or did I absorb it? Where might I be able to trust what is already working in my child? If no one was watching or assessing my homeschool, would I do anything differently? You don’t need to answer all of it today. Just noticing is already meaningful work. Want to Go Deeper? If this post resonated, the podcast episode What Is an Education Anyway? goes much further — including the five shifts I see happen when a homeschool mom finally loosens the grip of a definition that was never really hers, and what it looks like when peace replaces pressure in a real homeschool home.
