  Dr. Tyler Groves is the current Head of School at Valor Christian Academy in Alpharetta, Georgia. With a background in Christian education, Tyler has brought his expertise in integrating faith-based learning into the school's academic programs. Tyler has also co-authored "Growing with One Another: A Christian Approach to Social and Emotional Learning," which combines contemporary educational research with a Christian perspective to address the growing need for social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools. It serves as a resource for educators seeking to integrate faith-based principles into SEL programs, equipping students with the skills needed to navigate relationships and mental well-being effectively.  I'm thrilled to have Tyler on the show with me today to discuss Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and how it can help students develop essential life skills. He shares examples of how SEL can be integrated into the classroom and how it can impact students' behavior and attitudes. Tyler also digs into the five core competencies of SEL and explains how these competencies can be grounded in biblical principles and how they differ from secular approaches. In our conversation, we also discuss the powerful role of mentors and how they can help you create significant personal and professional growth.   “As parents, is that it starts with us.” - Tyler Groves  “The very best way to live life is in accordance with how God has designed you.” - Tyler Groves    “God designed you to live generously.” -  Tyler Grove  This Week on The Wow Factor:    The value of mentorship and how it can lead to significant personal and professional growth  Tyler explains Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) 's origins and core competencies, emphasizing the need for a Christian perspective  Tyler outlines the five core competencies of SEL: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness  Challenges of integrating SEL into Christian schools and the importance of addressing preconceived notions  Why it's so important for Christian educators to model the behaviors they want to see in their students  How educators can start implementing SEL in their classrooms and how to address administrative concerns  The importance of partnership between schools and parents in fostering a culture of generosity and SEL  How Tyler and his team are working to develop and refine the program to meet the needs of students and educators  Broader implications of their work and its potential to create a generation of generous students  Tyler Groves' Words of Wisdom:  As Christian educators, it starts with us.

Send us a textBecome a Ski Moms substack subscriber here.In this episode Nicole and Sarah talk with Tess Miner-Farra, the head of the Winter Sports School in Park City, Utah. This is a unique public charter school that serves 9th-12th grade students focused on winter sports.  We loved learning about the Winter Sports School and what makes it such an amazing place for young student-athletes. The school has a non-traditional academic calendar, running from April to November, allowing students to focus on their athletic training and competition during the winter months. For a little history, the Winter Sports School was founded in 1994 as a partnership between the Park City ski team and local educators. In 2014, it transitioned to become a public charter school.The school's unique model allows students to train and compete at a high level while maintaining a rigorous college prep curriculum. Teachers and staff are very supportive of the student-athletes.  The school serves around 150 students, with 30-40% being alpine ski racers, 30% freestyle/freeski, and the rest a variety of other winter and non-winter sports.Academics follow a traditional high school model, with students earning about 7 credits per year. As a public charter, the school must meet state graduation requirements.  The application process is a lottery system for Utah residents, with a more selective process for out-of-state applicants.Tess discusses the challenges and benefits of the school's April-November calendar, the support provided to students when they travel for training/competition, and the school's partnerships and fundraising efforts.It's clear that the Winter Sports Loam Pass, the premier North American mountain biking pass, gives you over 80 days of access to some of the best mountain biking destinations across the country.Use code: SKIMOMS15 to save 15% off your order here.

Leading a great school requires many diverse skills that enable both the students and adults in the school to thrive. In September 2023 I had the honour of attending the Tatler School Awards in London UK, hosted by Tori Cadogan, the Education Editor at Tatler (interview in episode #35). Tatler Schools Guide is a magazine dedicated to shining a light on the top K-12 schools in the UK and is owned by Conde Nast. This was an exceptional occasion as Tatler Schools Guide was celebrating its 20th anniversary. Earlier this year I had the pleasure of visiting Magdalen College School in Oxford, a very special school, whose Head won the ‘Best Head of a Public School' at the Tatler School Awards. I had the opportunity to speak with students and teachers and hear their experiences at this wonderful school. In this episode, I speak to the Head about what it takes to run a successful school, and how to create a culture of learning. Helen Pike is Master of Magdalen College School, Oxford. She is the ISC representative on UCAS Council, sits on the Sutton Trust Advisory Board, and is a member of the CASE Global Board. Educated in the state sector, she read Modern History at the University of Oxford, was a postgraduate student in the USA, and taught at the University of Warwick. She enjoyed a variety of teaching, pastoral and academic roles in leading independent schools before becoming Headmistress of South Hampstead High School. She is a writer, academic editor, school Governor and trustee of a newly-founded school in Uganda.

In this insightful episode, Allan McKay sits down with Colin Giles, head of the School for Animation and Visual Effects at Vancouver Film School, for a deep dive into the world of modern VFX education. They discuss Colin's fascinating journey from small town artist to leading a world-class animation school, the intense pressures faced by today's students, and how virtual learning during COVID has transformed educational models. Colin shares wisdom on the irreplaceable value of in-person collaboration, how AI is impacting the curriculum, and the vital role of social media and online presence for aspiring artists. This is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of visual effects and what it takes to succeed as a student in 2023.   Quotes: "There is a difference between just crafting images and telling a story. I think that it's part of that learning process as well that is very exciting." Students should focus on their own artistic growth rather than unrealistic pressure to be the best or work at certain studios. Everyone has a unique voice to contribute. Virtual learning revealed the need for adaptable, hybrid education models that combine the benefits of online and in-person instruction. However, nothing replaces the creative energy of people connecting and collaborating face-to-face. AI is a useful iteration tool to quickly generate ideas, but won't replace the human touch. It's important for students to learn with the technology and discover its applications together. Aspiring artists must cultivate an authentic online presence that shows their personality and connects them to a community, not just a portfolio checklist. Social media engagement is vital for networking and getting hired.
