Inclusion without cliquesEpisode DescriptionEvery student is asking the same question: “Is there a place for me here?”In this episode, we help student ministry leaders move beyond general inclusion and toward intentional placement—helping each student feel seen, valued, and connected within the ministry.We'll address the reality of cliques, the challenge of integrating new students, and how giving students meaningful roles can transform their sense of belonging.If you want to create a ministry where every student—not just the outgoing or well-connected ones—finds their place, this episode will give you practical ways to make it happen.Help Us Spread the WordIf this episode encourages you, would you consider sharing it?Post this episode — or your favorite episode — on social media and tag us on Instagram or Facebook using @talkstudentmin.

As a follow-up to our earlier episode on communicating with professors (#83), Lynn and Vicki explore some of the benefits of relationships with professors, what those relationships might look like, and how students might approach and work with faculty members outside of the classroom. We often assume many of these social skills are second nature and common sense, but post Covid, students may need help in developing these skills. Parents may be one of their student's most valuable coaches.Thank you for listening!Much more information for college parents can be found on our website, College Parent CentralFind us on Twitter at @CollParCentralFind us on Bluesky at @CollParCentral.bsky.socialSign up for our newsletter for ongoing information

In this episode of Girls Can, host Grace Swain interviews college admissions expert Renee Bookout about the changing landscape of getting into college. Renee Bookout shares how her own experiences and mistakes inspired her to help students navigate the complicated admissions process. She discusses the importance of finding the right college fit, the need for authenticity in applications, and practical advice for managing stress and building a strong resume. Renee Bookout encourages students to start early, use available resources, and not be discouraged by setbacks or failure. She also explains the value of standardized test scores, but stresses that passion, leadership, and character matter just as much. The episode wraps up with helpful recommendations for books, time management tips, and the reminder that not every student needs a college counselor if they have a good support system and utilize free resources. 3 Listener Takeaways  1. Fit goes far beyond rankings.  Renee Bookout wants students to stop chasing the list and start looking for the place that actually feels like home. Rankings and where friends are going will not tell you if the community fits. Visit campuses. Notice where you connect. The tribe you choose can matter for a lot longer than a prestige score 2. Authenticity beats perfection. Colleges are looking for the real student, not the version built to impress. Renee champions essays that are honest about growth, resilience, and what you care about. Vulnerability is not a liability here. A true story stands out in a stack of applications that only check the boxes. 3. Start early, stay open, and ask for help. College prep is not a last minute sprint. Renee's advice is to pay attention sooner, explore what actually interests you, tap free resources and mentors, and reach out before you feel ready. It takes a village. The journey still belongs to you .   Show Overview 00:00 Helping Students with College Applications 04:46 Choosing the Right College Fit 08:35 Finding leadership opportunities in school 10:44 Starting academic planning early 15:16 Impact of COVID on Test Scores 18:38 Getting Help with School Subjects 20:58 Embracing Failure in College Essays 23:52 Admissions storytelling advice 27:03 Importance of attention to detail 31:39 Recommending a helpful book 34:27 Choosing College Counseling Options 36:52 Podcast mission statement

This week, Ray and Dan end up discussing a fundamental question: what is education actually for in the age of AI? They explore new EU AI Act transparency requirements and the emerging role of AI watermarking, including what this could mean for the often-unreliable world of AI detection. The conversation then turns to assessment. With Australian policymakers questioning take-home assessment and universities rethinking assessment for an AI-enabled world, Ray and Dan discuss why the goal isn't simply to make assessment "AI-proof", but to ensure students are still developing knowledge, judgement, creativity and critical thinking. They also examine major new research into young people's use of generative AI from the Barker Institute and University of Sydney. Across 271 peer-reviewed studies, the evidence suggests AI can improve students' immediate performance and engagement - but better performance doesn't necessarily mean better learning. Finally, they explore "hybrid reading": how students are using AI to orient themselves, clarify difficult concepts, translate academic language and check their own understanding.

If you've ever wondered how to help your students decode longer words, this episode is for you! We're joined by literacy researcher and professor Devin Kearns to talk all about teaching multisyllabic words.Many phonics programs focus on single-syllable words, but what happens when students hit big words and get stuck? Devin unpacks the research behind why that happens and what we can do instead. We talk about:flexible decoding strategies,when and how to teach syllables and morphemes,and what “set for variability” really looks like in the classroom (spoiler: it's not guessing!).You'll walk away with practical, research-backed ideas to help your students read longer words with confidence.Devin M. Kearns, Ph.D., is the Goodnight Distinguished Professor in Early Literacy at NC State, where he studies early reading and collaborates with experts in psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience to explore the brain basis of reading.RESOURCESHelping Students With Dyslexia Read Long Words: Using Syllables and Morphemes by Devin M.

On this episode of OneHaas, learn about the incredible, globe-spanning career journey of alumna Ann Hsu, Founder and Head of School at Bert Hsu Academy. From high tech to yogurt to revolutionizing the approach to public education, this double bear's story is not one to miss!Born and raised in Beijing, China, Ann moved to the U.S. with her family at age 11 but has always maintained a strong cultural connection to China. After getting her Master's degree in electrical engineering from UC Berkeley, she moved back to China and launched into a successful career in high tech. When the need arose to add more business acumen to her skillset, she knew Berkeley Haas was her best option for an MBA. Ann's latest career pivot has been into education, where she's opened the first American-Chinese bicultural school in the U.S., named in honor of her father, Bert Hsu. Ann joins host Sean Li to discuss the exciting ways they are reimagining education at the Bert Hsu Academy, how her Berkeley degrees have supported her career journey, and her advice for current MBA students and young alumni. She also shares her memories of moving to the U.S. as a young girl in 1978, her family's history in China, and how her own bicultural experience has shaped her career and worldview. *OneHaas Alumni Podcast is a production of Haas School of Business and is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:On her assimilation to American culture“ I remember a discussion in class and they were talking about china, the bowls and plates. Well, I thought they were talking about the country of China. And I raised my hand, I said, ‘I'm from China.' Yes, I knew the word, but I didn't know that we were talking about plates and bowls china and not the country of China. That's what I mean by cultural assimilation or Americanization. It took me four years.”On where the idea for a Chinese-American bicultural school came from“ I thought back to my own experience of going to school in China and the U.S. and then watching my sons go to school in China …and about what's good about the Chinese education approach, what's good about the American ones, what's bad about each. And I thought, I want to combine the Chinese education philosophy, approach and practices with the American ones because both have pros and cons. And if I'm going to design [a school] from scratch, I'll just pick the good ones. The pros!”On her decision to name the school after her father“...It came to me that the person who embodies the bicultural and bilingual Chinese American experience, whom I have the utmost respect for, is my father. And he was bicultural, in addition to being bilingual. He not only survived, but thrived in both China and in the United States because he understood [the culture] and could really thrive in both cultures. And I thought, that should be the goal. I want all of our students to be able to do that.”Her advice to current MBA students“ MBA students, they fret about,what should I do [after MBA]? Which job should I take? What career should I pursue? what I tell them is that you only have so much information. You're never going to get complete information, and you're never going know whether that decision you made is the right decision. So what you do is you take all the information you have, make a decision, and then make that the right decision.”Show Links:LinkedIn ProfileBert Hsu Academy Website Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations

What happens when screens replace books and classroom technology replaces thinking? In this episode of Classical Et Cetera we examine research showing how screens, scrolling text, and digital note-taking undermine attention, memory, and deep learning. Drawing on neuroscience and classroom experience, we discuss why scrolling isn't reading, why speed and engagement aren't the same as understanding, and why technology-heavy classrooms often produce less learning, not more.   The Digital Delusion by Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath is the book that inspired this episode's conversation.     *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "Marce Catlett" Wendell Berry (Tanya & Paul) "What Happened to You?"
