Supporting older, novice readers requires more than just phonics or comprehension strategies—it demands a multicomponent intervention approach. Students need structured instruction in vocabulary, syntax, text processing, and writing when working with complex texts. But for this to be effective, intervention must be intentional, well-planned, and fully supported.During this episode, Dr. Mitchell Brookins, a nationally recognized literacy practitioner, shares insights from a middle school in New Orleans, where a multicomponent intervention transformed how students engaged with rigorous texts. He breaks down why successful intervention isn't just about what happens in the classroom—it also requires:✅ A Structured Framework—A clear instructional model that ensures students get explicit, systematic instruction in vocabulary, syntax, text processing, and writing.✅ Intentional Text Selection—Choosing texts that are both rigorous and accessible, ensuring they build students' literacy skills while maintaining engagement.✅ A Strong Coaching System—Teachers need consistent guidance and professional learning to sustain and refine their instructional practices—intervention is too vital for teachers to navigate alone.If you're working with older struggling readers, this episode will challenge conventional approaches to intervention and equip you with the tools to help students succeed with complex texts—no matter their starting point.

In this episode, we (Mark Raffler and Sarah Shoemaker) connect with longtime Kent ISD mentor & author, Kelly Gallagher. Kelly's latest book: “To Read Stuff, You Have to Know Stuff: Helping Students Build and Use Prior Knowldge” is the topic of today's podcast. "To Read Stuff, You Have to Know Stuff" is not merely a catchy title but a fundamental principle of literacy education. Educators must prioritize building students' prior knowledge, fostering critical thinking skills, and creating a curriculum that reflects multiple, various perspectives and prepares students to engage with the world around them. In this episode, Kelly Gallagher addresses how his book came about and why “knowing stuff” in a digital world is still important. Here are some highlights from our conversation:Kelly's book emphasizes that reading is as much knowing as decoding. He suggests that students may struggle with texts not because they can't decode the words, but because they lack the necessary background knowledge to understand the content.To Read Stuff, You Have to Know Stuff addresses prior knowledge, word and sentence level understanding, article level comprehension, and book level comprehension. Interdisciplinary connections are emphasized. Gallagher emphasizes the reciprocal relationships of reading and writing."Click and go" reading has created new neurological pathways in the brain, yet it's crucial to develop the ability to sustain attention and thought over longer periods, especially during critical developmental stages."If you don't learn how to think critically while you're in that stage, you lose the ability to think critically the rest of your life."The discussion centers on the crucial role of prior knowledge in adolescent literacy, comprehension, and critical thinking, as well as practical strategies for educators to build this knowledge in their classrooms.Concluding with our normal podcast protocol, we ask for resources for educators to learn more about To Read Stuff, You Have to Know Stuff.

In this episode:Listen in as we talk about what the research says about the role modeling plays in increasing a student's self-efficacy and self-regulation. This is a sneak peek at a workshop all about teaching students how to internalize what you've taught them.We talk about:What the research has to say is the missing link between what you're teaching students and how to get them to internalize what you've taught them. Quotables: -Modeling plays a vital role in the first two levels of self-regulation. They provide the vehicle by which students can retain the information they observed and transform that into something that they can do on their own. -Research shows that the missing link between modeling and your students internalizing what you've taught them is including: a value based goal, providing process driven feedback and verbalization of the strategy.

The election is finally over. Not only are we glad to no longer be receiving political spam texts, but we are also glad to never have to talk about politics ever again, right? Well, we know that's not true. Which is why we are back to beat the dead horse into submission.In this episode, Shannon and Steve talk about how to help students think beyond our own cultural time to what God is doing around the world. If the story of the world is the story of Jesus and his church, it's our responsibility to elevate our thinking beyond American politics and disciple our students towards a better and bigger perspective. It's challenging, convicting, nuanced, and might even get us into a little trouble. But hey, if that happens, we can just blame Brock for not being here to help us.Give us a 5-star review on iTunes.We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network https://www.downloadyouthministry.com Watch us on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C Follow us on Instagram!Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com

President Biden's student loan forgiveness program has relieved five million borrowers, yet many still face significant financial stress, often replacing student debt with other burdens like credit card debt. The relief, while appreciated, is deemed insufficient to change lives fundamentally, highlighting that financial struggles persist beyond the scope of loan forgiveness. Plus, Ric highlights a critical issue with annuities: while the products themselves can be legitimate, consumers often struggle to understand them due to poor sales practices and a lack of transparency from agents, who are incentivized to prioritize commission over client education. #StudentLoanForgiveness #FinancialStruggles #DebtRelief #BidenAdministration #EconomicImpact #CreditCardDebt #HouseholdFinance #FinancialEducation #HigherEducation #PolicyDebate #Annuities #ConsumerAwareness #FinancialEducation #SalesPractices #FiduciaryStandard #InsuranceAgents #InvestmentProducts #FinancialLiteracy #Transparency #CommissionConflict ----- Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152 Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric ----- Links from today's show: 8/13 Podcast - Insurance Industry's Latest Battle Against Consumer Protection: https://www.thetayf.com/blogs/this-weeks-stories/the-insurance-industry-s-latest-battle-against-consumer-protection 10/9 Webinar - Crypto for RIAs: Yield, Staking, Lending and Custody.

Show Notes: Resources: Bio: My name is Emily, and I am a Senior at Fort Campbell High School, KY. My step-dad serves in the Army, and I am proud to be a military kid! However, unlike most of my friends I did not grow up in the military, my mom married my step-dad only four years ago! Since then I have had the privilege of being a member of my school's Student 2 Student program, helping new students navigate moving and adjusting to a new environment. I am super involved at school and have been on the Varsity Volleyball team all four years! Additionally, I am a part of the National Honors Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Book Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and I manage the Track and Field team. However, my biggest passion is helping others feel loved and safe, which is why I hope to pursue a career in nursing and midwifery after high school.
According to a 2023 analysis by the Pew Research Center, new school years across the United States begin from as early as late July until after Labor Day. Regardless of when families prepare for the academic year, the process often looks the same: purchasing needed supplies, finishing a summer reading list, adjusting sleep schedules and adapting to a new routine. The phrase “back to school” can catalyze a spectrum of emotional responses for both students and parents. In the latest episode of The UCI Podcast, Jessica Borelli, UC Irvine professor of psychological science, offers insight on the array of reactions that accompany this time of year, and she shares tips on how families can embrace the change together and make it as smooth as possible for all involved. “For Time to Disappear,” the music for this episode, was provided by Ocean/Ryan McCaffery via the audio library in YouTube Studio.
