Podcast appearances and mentions of Harry Wong

In this episode, Jenn has a conversation with one of the educators who was featured prominently in Harry and Rosemary Wong's latest book, THE New Teacher Induction Book: How to Recruit, Train, and Retain New Teachers. Tara Link is a leader who started an induction program 18 years ago in Moberly, Missouri. She joined Jenn to talk about Rosemary and Harry Wong's latest book, and she had so many useful tips to share. Unfortunately, while we are losing a number of our new and newer teachers, we are also not doing as good of a job of supporting our new teachers as well. About 50% of all new teachers receive no induction at all. Tara shared some of the problems our new teachers face. Sometimes they don't receive anything more than a welcome and then the rest of their new teacher support is left up to chance. They also struggle with a whole new generation of classroom management issues that may have looked different in the past. Plus, newer teachers are increasingly coming through alternative certification routes so they may not have had enough training.  Tara really emphasized the importance of DIFFERENTIATING the support we provide to new teachers and being extremely CLEAR. We discussed THREE KEY COMPONENTS of an effective new teacher support system that the Wongs outlined in their book: 1. COLLABORATION New teachers need to connect with a wide range of the people they plan to work with and need to feel they are part of something bigger than themselves. This connects to purpose and our Gen-Z teachers are particularly feeling the need to connect to their purpose. 2. PD TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF NEW TEACHERS We need to provide new teachers with PD on the basics -- classroom management, lesson design -- and not just jump into training them on the latest fad. As leaders we also need to continually model for new teachers. Be the model of what you want them to be. 3. A COMPREHENSIVE, MULTI-YEAR APPROACH We need to do much more with our new teachers than have them come a day or two before the rest of the staff. Tara developed a model program S.H.I.N.E. (Supporting, Helping, and Inspiring New Educators) that lasts two full years. She shares some successful elements of her program but encourages you to ask your experienced teachers what was helpful in supporting them and look around at your own resources to see how you can use them to support new teachers.  Where to start? Tara recommends just choosing ONE system of support. Choose something you are already doing well and plus-one it, that is, add to what you're already doing well.

Today, Dr. Mustafa Hussain & Dr. Harry Wong, 2 bariatric surgeons, discuss the overlaps between food deserts, culture, and bariatric surgery. Food deserts are locations where residents have few to zero convenient options for accessing healthy, affordable food, frequently stemming from a larger history of economic neglect. On the other hand, bariatric surgeries are those which help patients lose weight. Many of our patients on the South Side of Chicago live in food deserts, which can lead to an increased risk for obesity.In this episode, they challenge misconceptions about foods from communities of color which paint them as unhealthy, discuss how healthy foods are often understood through a white, European lens, what happens in the months spent with patients prior to offering them bariatric surgery, and how our evolutionary biology is mismatched with our modern society's food system.Dr. Mustafa Hussain is an Associate Professor of Surgery and the Director for the Center for the Surgical Treatment of Obesity at UChicago Medicine. He has advanced training in bariatric surgery, expertise in all standard primary weight loss surgeries, and works closely with the surgical oncology team to expand the use of minimally invasive approaches in the surgical treatment of certain cancers. Dr. Hussain has also pioneered the use of robotic surgery to treat abdominal wall, diaphragmatic and paraesophageal hernias.Dr. Harry Wong is a 4th year general surgery resident at UChicago Medicine and a graduate of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He has written on topics ranging from simulation-based curriculums for surgical procedures to maintaining safety standards during surgeries.“Deep Cuts: Exploring Equity in Surgery” comes to you from the Department of Surgery at UChicago Medicine.

Dare I say that a positive student teacher relationship is even MORE important than teaching music skills? You may not agree totally with that statement, but you have to agree it is an important piece in the puzzle. In this episode I share 5 strategies that have worked for me, several for over 20 years. As a music teacher, you have a great opportunity to influence a student's life (for the good or bad). Choose good. I would love it if you would consider supporting this work of love at www.patreon.com/themusicedpodcast. Your support would help take this podcast to the next level. I highly recommend Harry Wong's The First Days of School.

Welcome back to the “Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast” this is Andrea Samadi. This interview will be broadcast on YouTube as well as on the regular podcast channel, so be sure to click on the link if you would like to view the video.  In this episode we have a special guest, Ron Hall, the Executive Director of Valley Day School[i] in Morristown, Pennsylvania to discuss how his school improved behavioral outcomes with a neuroscientific approach. If you take one look at Valley Day Schools website in the News Section you can see the forward-thinking nature of this school that is applying cutting edge technology in PE class that combines movement with intellect, challenging students to think while they move. They are using virtual reality to travel to different regions of the world and develop empathy. Teachers hold community meetings with students to get to the root cause of behavioral problems over punishment, and they teach their students about table etiquette, and social/emotional intelligence though advanced technology tools.Welcome Ron, thanks for joining us today.When I saw the article written about your focus on social support rather than the old punitive approach, I knew I had to contact you so you could share your experiences to help other schools that might be thinking of implementing a program like yours. The more I read on your In the News Section of your website, the more excited I got to speak with you to learn more. I know that summer time is a time to get some rest to rejuvenate for the next year, so I do appreciate you speaking with me during the summer break to help others to see some of your strategies. Let’s dive into the questions… In your recent interview “Lessons in Leadership: How an Alternative School Improved Behavioral Outcomes with a Neuroscience Approach”[ii] from educationdive.com you mentioned how you were interested in using an understanding of the brain to facilitate learning prior to being hired at Valley Day School over 15 years ago. It was just a bit longer than that when I was a teacher in the classroom and looking for something like this to help me manage a classroom of behavioral students. My principal sent me to a Tribes workshop, but this was not even close to what I needed. What made you look at brain-based learning back then and what did you discover? We know that 15 years ago there wasn’t the research around social and emotional learning that we now know impacts student achievement and behavior. What do you think is different now than 15 years ago with schools using these strategies to help improve student behavior that we know is tied into achievement? How are you teaching these skills? What happens if some staff do not buy in, or you see some outliers? How do you handle that? Can you explain the demographics of Valley Day School so that other schools can learn from your experience and model your approach? When I looked up your website valleyday.org right on your home page banner under “Cutting Edge Technology” I see a student on a computer with a brain jumping out of the screen. It looks like augmented reality (something I have been following for some time now). What program is that? How are you raising funds for such innovative tools? Where do you see neuroeducation going in the next 5 years and I’m really curious what’s on your roadmap for your next steps in innovation? I really do wish I knew these strategies back when I was in the classroom. It was probably one of the reasons I burnt out of the profession. I know that you believe that to “effectively manage behavior and improve learning, all staff members need to have a thorough understanding of how the brain operates.” Where would you suggest a school begin when looking to implement a neuroscientific approach to prevent teacher burnout? What are the most important components that teachers should grasp about the brain? Ron suggests starting with Harry Wong’s book, The First Day of School.[iii] What do you think students need to know about how the brain works? Teach students how the brain works. “If students understand how the brain works, they can gain greater control over their personal growth.  Therefore, we teach all students how the brain works.  The student will learn where emotions and thoughts come from; how the body reacts to stress and threats; and how life choices of nutrition, exercise, and sleep can profoundly impact their functioning.” (RH)I know that your approach[iv] is centered around developing an environment focused on success. Can you explain how you have used the Bloom Sanctuary Model and Sanchez Resiliency Model to impact your school culture and climate?  We know that what we can measure improves and there’s such an emphasis on measurable outcomes these days, how does what you cannot measure translate into measurable outcomes for you? What are some of the Behavioral and Clinical Supports that you use for students? What do you have in place to help educators handle the stress that comes along with the job?For some first steps to implement these strategies in a school or district, I know that having all staff on the same page is important to begin an implementation. “Do your work and research the leaders in the field. I recommend Dr. Lori Desautels [v] and Horatio Sanchez[vi] to begin with. Also Greg Benner [vii]Is there anything else that I have missed that you think would be important for a District or School to know to implement neuroeducation as a strategy for improving student behavior and achievement?[i] https://www.valleyday.org[ii] https://www.educationdive.com/news/lessons-in-leadership-how-an-alternative-school-improved-behavioral-outcom/556977/[iii] https://www.effectiveteaching.com/store/products/books/new-the-first-days-of-school-5th-edition[iv] https://www.valleyday.org/domain/20[v] http://revelationineducation.com/[vi] https://www.learningandthebrain.com/education-speakers/Horacio-Sanchez[vii] Gregg Benner @GJBenner on Twitter  

Oskar Ahlvin, 26 år, 10 år i branschen. I köket: en kokplatta, en ugn, en smörgåsgrill. Smaker / att inte alltid vara perfekt / kärleken till kålrabbi / vikten av det bittra / och problemet med salt. Vissa maträtter minns man. De står ut på något vis, smakar spännande, intressant och alldeles fantastiskt gott. Menys reporter Nina Frogneborn besökte en restaurang för ett par år sedan och blev tagen av maten. Så goda och annorlunda smakkombinationer! Jag minns särskilt en stekt sallad i smörsås med rostad mandel på. Men alla rätterna som jag åt vid det tillfället var väldigt spännande. Jag undrade varför jag själv inte hade kommit på det här? Hon blev nyfiken på kockarna Oskar Ahlvin och Harry Wong och tänkte intervjua dem för Meny, men så stängde restaurangen och kockarna försvann. För några månader sedan öppnade Oskar Ahlvin en liten vinbar i Göteborg med plats för 16 gäster. Naturvin och mat. Ett rum, en bar, en liten korridor med diskho och en toalett som också fungerar som kontor. Bakom baren lagas maten, till sin hjälp har Oskar en spisplatta, en ugn och en smörgåsgrill. Går det att driva en restaurang med så lite? Man får vara påhittig, oftast så går det bra, svarar Oskar Ahlvin. Om sin mat säger han: Jag skulle vilja säga att hela min matlagning kretsar kring beska och bitterhet. Italienska sallader eller rostat, lite bränt bovete. För att få fräschör i maten på ett annat sätt än med citrus. Man ska vilja ta en tugga till.

The beginning of the school year is an exciting time. Buses are arriving, parents are gathering information, teachers are making final preparations--it is exhilarating. For students, particularly those in a new setting, it can be challenging. They are nervous. In his famous teacher training book, The First Days of School, Harry Wong outlined seven things students want to know on the first day of school. As teachers, we must be prepared to answer those questions. ​​ See the full show notes here: youshallteachthemd.wixsite.com/teachthemdiligently/single-post/2018/08/20/7-Things-Students-Want-to-Know-On-the-First-Day

One of the greatest favors you can do for yourself as a classroom teacher is to learn to get the kids' attention. Sounds easy enough, doesn't it? Most definitely. Unfortunately, it is not that easy and too often this is where the adult takes a short cut. You risk being run over by a freight train. Quite simply once many kids realize that you don't have a real way of starting class...your honeymoon is over. Once they realize that you don't have a way of getting their attention...you are soon going to find yourself talking over or above the kids' voices when you shouldn't. You have to have a way to start class and getting the kids' attention. This is not a time to reason, plead or wish they would do what you say. You have to make getting their attention something that you always do. In today's episode, I am focused on the importance of getting the kids' attention. Here are my 5 Steps to Starting Class Right Know what you are going to do. Explain it to them Practice it Do it again Revisit Here is an example of what that special piece of carpeting might look like. Listen to Episode 42 and my talk with first-year teacher Melanie Knight to hear her talk about the carpet and other things. (She is now a 3rd-year teacher) Enjoy working with the kids.

      Rebecca Mieliwocki  ELA teacher, Burbank (CA)  2012 National Teacher of the Year  Resource of the Week: Talks with Teachers 4-Week   Talks with Teachers has developed a new way to help you. Sure we’ve got this podcast that’s great to listen to. Sure there are valuable lessons on our website for all levels that can help your teaching. But the one thing that has been lacking is COMMUNITY. We have a loyal following of listeners, Tweeters, and contributing teachers that have all interacted with us. Yet, we have not allowed you to interact with each other.  That’s where the Talks with Teachers 4-Week Challenge comes in. We want you to do something small each day to grow as a teacher. We’ve got readings, videos, fun, little projects lined up to foster your love of teaching. And best of all, there will be a community forum for you to share your success and encourage others to find purpose and joy in teaching.    Segment I – Background and Inspiration   Tell your story. Where are you from and how long have you been teaching? What classes have you taught?  – Rebecca teaches 7th grade English at Luther Burbank Middle School in Burbank, CA. She has taught middle school for 10 years. She started her teaching career as a high school English teacher, but prior to that she was in publishing, working for a company that made textbooks. She still apologizes to her students for the massive textbooks that they lug around because in the textbook industry, the bigger the book, the bigger the profits.   Who has helped you in your journey to become a master teacher?  – Her growth into greatness has depended on the support group that surrounded her. Mr. Campbell was a teacher that struck fear into the hearts of students and if you taught next to him, you were in fear of making a mistake. He was exacting and proper but a wonderful person. But at the end of the year students were so thankful to be in his class because they learned so much and were pushed. She admired that. When she started middle school she learned a lot from Karen Burkland, a veteran teacher that was a Zen master. She was supportive of students. Nothing would stop her from teaching. Also, she ensured that her students didn't use excuses to prevent them from doing the work. It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience. – Just last week she taught appositives. Her students bombed the quiz. Rebecca did what Harry Wong recommends; she went back and re-taught the material. A teacher should only move on when 70-80% of the students master the material. Not a week goes by when something is a dud, though. Rebecca believes that we are much better at 2:30 then we are at 8:30. And that is what is great about teaching; we get the chance to improve each period and each day.  Why is literacy important? – It is everything. Students have to understand the norms and restrictions -- the rules of the road -- whether they are writing, tweeting, blogging, podcasting, etc. Each form has its own rules. Students can then see the choices of an author and how that influences meaning.  What is one thing that you love about the classroom?   – Rebecca loves that it is unpredictable, safe, fun, and uncertainty. A student in the other middle school recently passed away of cancer. It has been a week of deep tragedy. She didn't turn to literature, she made her classroom a safe place.    Segment II — Digging into the Teacher Bag of Goodies She had mentioned Harry Wong earlier in the interview and his book The First Days Of School: How To Be An Effective Teacher . It illuminates the difference between rules and procedures, when to re-teach, and mastery teaching.
