CW: This episode contains discussion of panic attacks and stress at work.This was my third ever live podcast recording and it was such a great conversation! Bex is a fellow ex-MFL teacher, who is now working as the MFL Subject Adviser for Pearson Edexcel, and we discussed everything from what made us want to quit the classroom to what we are doing now. We also gave some (hopefully helpful!) advice for those of you who are thinking of leaving teaching.We had lots of great questions and comments from the live audience, which added so much to the discussion. We also answered some questions from our Instagram followers - have a listen to find out if we answered yours!Bex can be found on Instagram @pagepracticepodcast or LinkedIn as Rebecca Waker.

In the penultimate episode of season 6 of the Kate Languages Podcast, I'm talking all about checking for understanding in MFL lessons. More precisely, I'm telling you what NOT to do… and then giving you my thoughts on what you should be doing instead. For example, you shouldn't be explaining a grammar point or task and then asking “OK, any questions?” and then expecting students to just get on with the work if no hands go up. I also don't think you should be cold-calling students without giving them time to think of answers/questions, or praising outcomes without focusing on the process. I don't think you should be giving feedback on specific errors without linking to the bigger picture, and I definitely don't think you should be allowing half-formed answers as final answers.To find out what I mean by all that and what my solutions are, have a listen to this episode!I have delivered CPD on this topic and am available for bespoke CPD on topics such as this one or any of the other topics I discuss in the podcast. Get in touch to find out more!As always, I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode, so get in touch on Facebook and Instagram (I'm Kate Languages on both) or email me through my website https://katelanguages.co.uk/Joe Dale is my podcast producer and the music is by Coma-Media from Pixabay.
In today's episode of the Kate Languages Podcast, I describe my ideas for how to stretch and challenge your students in MFL lessons. If you're hoping for an episode on differentiation and creating lots of different worksheets for individual learners, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place!I really believe that stretch and challenge is for everyone, and in the episode, I explain why. I also outline why I think the traditional labels of “high ability”, “middle ability” and so on might not be fit for purpose anymore, and how we can stretch and challenge all students, while ensuring that every student feels supported and able to achieve.Sounds impossible? I really don't think it is! Listen to the episode to find out why!And if you'd like to dive deeper, sign up to my online workshop “Stretch and Challenge - Effective Extension Tasks” on 16th March 2024, or purchase access to the recording and PPT if you've missed it, here: https://katelanguages.co.uk/product/stretch-and-challenge-effective-extension-tasks-online-cpd/As always, I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode, so get in touch on Facebook and Instagram (I'm Kate Languages on both) or email me through my website https://katelanguages.co.uk/Joe Dale is my podcast producer and the music is by Coma-Media from Pixabay.
CW: This episode contains discussions about mental health and thoughts of self harm.In this episode of the podcast, I outline five warning signs that might mean it's time to think about quitting or changing/reducing your work.From feeling physically ill, to constantly procrastinating and daydreaming, to feeling out of alignment with your values, these are my own red flags when it comes to knowing when to quit.As always, I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode, so get in touch on Facebook and Instagram (I'm Kate Languages on both) or email me through my website https://katelanguages.co.uk/Joe Dale is my podcast producer and the music is by Coma-Media from Pixabay.
This was such a great conversation with the brilliant Emily Armstrong about real teacher well-being. And I'll give you a clue… it's not about cakes in the staffroom or mandatory yoga sessions after school!In this episode, we discussed strategies to actually improve teacher well-being. Whether it's genuine workload management (meaning working how and when it suits you best), or learning to be assertive, embracing mistakes and dialing down the perfectionism, Emily gave so many amazing tips for teachers and school leaders to start working on straight away.Listen right to the end for some fantastic advice on how to overcome imposter syndrome as a teacher - especially those MFL teachers who are teaching a language they don't feel confident with. And don't forget that my team and I are here for you if you need to learn a new language and/or improve a language to be able to teach it confidently.Connect with Emily on Instagram, where she is @emilyarmstrongeducation.In the episode, I mentioned a previous podcast episode where I answered a question about teacher resilience.

Is that thunder in the background? And did Sandrine just completely tune Krista out? These are some of the moments that inserted themselves in an otherwise intense discovery of tech tools for the classroom. All of these tools are geared toward student learning, and evaluated according to our own experience (or lack of) with them.

Joe Dale and I explore the untapped labour pool of people with disabilities, uncover the benefits of employing people with disabilities, and discuss approaches people with disabilities can take to gain employment. Today businesses are asking, ‘Where do we find good people?’, and people with disabilities are asking ‘Where do I get a job?’. This podcast/ blog with Joe Dale, Executive Director of the Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN), explores these questions. Joe has worked in the field of disability for over 35 years and spent much of that time addressing issues related to employment for people with disabilities. He is an internationally renowned speaker, speaking to business, governments, and not-for-profits on the issue of strategic engagement of people with disabilities in the workforce. The Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN) ODEN is a professional body of employment service providers united to increase employment opportunities for people who have a disability. They have over 110-member agencies, all in the business of helping people with a disability get into the workforce. ODEN focuses on 4 core areas: Engaging and educating businesses on hiring people with a disability. They also support businesses to develop successful hiring practices. Supporting disability employment agencies with training that builds their capacities and skills. Advocating on employment for people with a disability to the provincial and federal governments. Engaging and educating other stakeholders that prepare people with disabilities for the workforce, including school boards and family groups. The Employment Landscape Paraphrasing from the podcast, Joe shares: “There are a lot of barriers for people with disability to enter the workforce. However, there has been a drastic change in the last couple of years. Businesses are now moving from awareness of the benefits people with a disability can provide to their business, to how do we employ people with disabilities. And, thinking about what does it look like in our workplace? We have done a lot of awareness over the last 10 years and this is starting to pay off. Businesses are also challenged with the labour shortages, so businesses are now looking at what was once considered non-traditional labour sources.” Currently the unemployment rate is 5.5% in Canada, but what does that look like for people with disabilities? Paraphrasing from the podcast, Joe shares: “Statistics Canada reported that 49% of people with disability are not in labour market. This doesn’t include people who have never had a job or have given up on trying to find a job. For the 51% of people in the labour market, we are seeing anywhere between 16 – 25% employment rate. From this, we can assume people with a disability that are not working in Canada is around 70%. In the US, they do their research differently, they show about 18% of people with a disability are working.” What Do Businesses Need to Know About Disability? Paraphrasing from the podcast, Joe shares: “Businesses don’t know what they don’t know. Businesses aren’t fully aware of disability as a demographic. We try to illustrate what disability looks like in their community. 16% of Canadians identify that they have a disability across Canada. This is a very large demographic. If you add family and loved ones of those people, 53% of Canadian’s are impacted by disability. These people have a very strong connection to disability. What would this look like in your place of business? We do this through case studies and by breaking down the myths and stereotypes.. We are shifting mindsets away from charity and pity, a mindset of contribution. This is what businesses need to see to get them to buy in and employ people with a disability in a sustainable way." Learn can learn more about the Myths to employing people with a disability in this podcast/ blog with Laura McKeen. What is the business case to employ people with a disability? Paraphrasing from the podcast, Joe Shares the following case studies: Case Study 1: Walgreens Walgreens is a large pharmacy retailer in the United States that has inclusive hiring practices. In 2006, they opened a new distribution center in South Carolina. When staffing this distribution centre they started with the goal of staffing 1/3 of this workforce with people that have a disability. In the end, they hired 40% of their workforce with people that have a disability. At the end of the first year, this distribution centre was the most productive centre for all of Walgreens in the US. A year later they opened a distribution centre in Connecticut and they went in with the same mindset and hired 45% of people with disability. It opened in 2007 and has had the highest production of all Walgreens distribution centers every year since it opened. They have a 63% reduction in employee costs! Lower absenteeism, lower turnover, and fewer workplace accidents. What they are seeing is higher productivity at lower cost. This equates to profits. More on the Walgreens Case Study. Click Here Case Study 2: Mark Wafer, Tim Hortons Mark Wafer owed 6 Tim Horton’s coffee shops in the Greater Toronto Area, in Ontario Canada. 15% -20% of their staff was people who had a disability. Employees with disabilities had an 87% higher attendance rating, and no work injury claims. Mark’s coffee shops had a turnover of 38% in an industry where the average was 110%. At $4,000 per new hire, there was a significant reduction in costs. His employees with a disability had almost 0% turn over, and employees without disabilities had a 55% turn over, which was still half of the industry average. He put it down for employees being engaged because he is an inclusive employer. These costs savings are often offsetting the costs of a little bit slower production or the cost of accommodations. Additionally, prior to Mark selling his business, his coffee shops ranked #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6 in key sales/ profitability indicators among 500 Tim Hortons coffee shops in Central Ontario. More on Tim Hortons Case Study. Click Here Additionally, Joe shares: “Many businesses are contacting ODEN today to learn about how to employ people with disabilities. We would like to get to 16 -20% of employees in a workplace be people with a disability. We also see the growth rate for people with a disability that get into the workplace their growth rate is phenomenal. Within 2 or 3 weeks they can become a different person and can exceed expectations. This is due to the opportunity, environment, and role modelling.” How can families and agencies help people with disabilities to gain employment? Paraphrasing from the podcast, Joe shares: “It’s really about raising expectations. Overall our expectations of people with a disability are too low. We need to identify the goal that we have for people that have a disability. If the goal is for the person with the disability to have a job, we need to create a different path. We need to change the educational system to support this goal. For families, if employment is a goal what happens at home has to change. We need to ask questions like, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and we need to ask ‘Do we give them chores?’. We need to raise expectations, have high goals, and change the path to support these goals.” I agree with Joe, we need to think bigger and get out of the disability box. This requires a switch from deficits thinking to contribution thinking, and we need to be a champion for that individual. Once you have people holding low expectations of you, you live up to those low expectations. We live up to expectations, so hold high expectations and be a champion for people with disabilities by upholding their dreams and influencing others to do the same. Joe shares: “There is research out of the US that shows the indicators of labour market attachment for people with severe disabilities are: A single paid job while in high school Family members and others around that have high expectations This leads to asking the question, ‘How do we mirror the experiences for people with disabilities the same as those around them?’ Peers and siblings. This includes responsibilities, chores, and part-time jobs. This helps the person to also learn what they like, what they don’t like.” Learned Helplessness What I have observed in my work is that parents and supporters are trying to be helpful by doing things for the person with a disability, but by doing this it creates dependencies. It teaches the person with the disability that they can’t do things. Now when that person with a disability is asked to do something they have learned that they ‘can’t’ do the task, even when they are in a new environment. In positive psychology, this behavior is called Learned Helplessness. However, this can be changed with learned optimism. By the way, my family has been caught in the learned helplessness trap. I am not judging here, simply pointing out my observations. Work or Activities? Paraphrasing from the podcast, Joe shares: “It is a challenge when activities, like bowling or swimming, get in the way of the work opportunity. Generally, we don’t do these things instead of work. This is a values proposition that needs to be considered by families. The more conditions we place on work, the more difficult engaging in work becomes.” Insight: Put the job first, remove the conditions on the employment. What suggestions do you have for people with disabilities that are 25 to 45 years old, and have never been in the job market? Joe shares: “It might mean backing up a bit and starting with a part-time job that many of us would have had while in school. Such as at McDonald's. But don’t let the progress start there. We need to start creating that path. The more experiences a person has had the better their decision making becomes on what they would like to do 1 to 2 years from now or even tomorrow.” Fair Pay for People with Disabilities Joe shares: “Working for free, or saying the person doesn’t need equal pay is a very bad attitude. Society values people that work, pay taxes and contribute, and much more so than people that live off the tax system. To see someone contributing to the tax system in your community brings value to that person. It is important for peers and supervisors to see that person as valuable. If two people are working side by side and one person is getting paid full wage, and the other person is receiving less than full wage, it tells the rest of the world that that person is not as valuable as the person making full wage beside them. That is a real damaging long-term scenario. The perception is that the person with a disability as being seen as valued is critical. I fight against anything that looks like less than a fair wage. If the perception is that the person is less valuable, who is the person that is going to be let go in an economic downturn? The person that is seen as less valued. Also, It is a myth that by working the person will earn less money with the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). No matter what the person earns they will always have more money in their pocket at the end of the day. They never lose never money by working. It is a fallacy that people will have less money if they work." I agree with Joe’s perspective on fair wage. Additionally, consider the person with a disability that is receiving less than an equal wage. If that person is perceived by others as not valued, then they will not feel valued themselves. If I am not feeling valued I am not going to be excited about going to work.

Doug Belshaw from NextGen Teachers @ Ning Social Networks organised a Skype Conference on Sunday 13th May @ 6pm GMT. The meeting was well attended from both sides of the Atlantic : Doug Belshaw ( http://teaching.mrbelshaw.co.uk/ ) Aaron Smith ( http://www.academicaesthetic.com/ ) as the token American voice. Ollie Bray ( http://www.olliebray.com/ ) from Scotland, Kristian Still ( http://btecnationalsinsport.wikispaces.com/ ) from Southampton, Joe Dale ( http://www.joedale.typepad.com/ ) from The Isle of Wight, Leon Cych ( NAACE) (http://www.l4l.co.uk/ ) and myself from here in South Wales ( http://ddraig-goch.blogspot.com/ ) The discussion was wide ranging and even though originally billed as 'How we use Web 2.0 tools in Collaboration', we actually covered much more ground teasing out the problem of access, blocking and how we get the work going on in pockets around the UK to a wider audience. It was great to hear Leon from NAACE give some excellent advice and pointers to possible ways forward, even thoughwe perhaps as a group need to develop some 'joined up thinking' as to how we develop the use of Web2.0 and beyond ( Web 3.0 is in the wings waiting to get out!!). A very interesting discussion if a bit long I know at 55 mins, but the quality of the discussion makes it worth a listen - hopefully not too disjointed by our SkypeOuts at various points. I hope you find the points raised thought provoking.
