Educational Eligibility, Clinical Diagnosis, and the “Just Be Like Finland” Argument (with Dr. Chrishawn Finister)

Every few years, conversations about education in the U.S. circle back to the same refrain: Why can't we be more like Finland?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chrishawn Finister from Your Joy Psychological, PLLC to unpack this comparison.We dig into the nuanced relationship between educational eligibility and clinical diagnosis, which often overlap but aren't interchangeable. From there, we widen the lens to explore the broader systems-level challenges that shape how students are identified, supported, and served.Some key themes we discuss:✅ Orthographic density and literacy: Why differences in written language systems matter when comparing reading outcomes across countries.✅ Population homogeneity and “education tracks”: When we look at instructional outcomes data, the students included in the education system and the numbers matter. Are the same individuals “counting” when we compare results across countries? ✅ Teacher pay and professional identity: What Finland's investment in teacher preparation and salary looks like compared to the U.S. (spoiler alert: Dr. Finister and I both think the US should be more like Finland on this one). ✅ Cultural perceptions of medicine vs. education: Why recommendations from evaluations are perceived differently depending on the setting and who is making decisions about services.✅ Housing instability and socioeconomic factors: We're educating students with complex needs in the US who have varying experiences outside of school. With this in mind, has the education system made more progress than what the media is saying? Rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight why U.S. educators, policymakers, and clinicians need to understand the challenges and opportunities when designing systems of support.If you've ever wondered where the lines between clinical diagnosis and educational eligibility blur, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective.Dr. Chrishawn Finister is an Independent Practicing Licensed Psychological Associate and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, possessing over a decade of experience in the role of School Psychologist. Recognized as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, she is committed to utilizing diagnostically sound assessments to identify learning barriers and implementing research-based interventions to amend challenging behaviors effectively. Dr. Finister is an advocate of culturally competent practices and is dedicated to training future practitioners in the field. She received her foundational training in psychological pedagogy and assessments at Texas Woman's University, where she completed her Master's degree in 2010. While working in a prominent North Texas public school district, she advanced her education by earning a Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2019. Her contributions to the field extend to academia, where she has served as a guest lecturer at the College of Education at Texas Christian University.Places to connect with Dr. Finister:Her private practice, Your Joy Psychological, PLLCWebsite: https://yourjoypsych.com/Business Instagram: @yourjoypsychHer NonProfit, Texas Psychological Hive: https://thetexaspsychhive.org/Non-profit Instagram: @texaxpsychhiveAdditional Resources Mentioned in this episode:Steven Pinker: https://stevenpinker.com/Mark Manson: https://markmanson.net/Dr. Tim Shanahan: https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/In this episode, I mention Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives SLPs and other service providers a system for language therapy.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, host Jethro Jones interviews Adrian Ireland, an international educator, systems thinker, and author of "Designing Different." Together, they explore the challenges and opportunities in reimagining the architecture of learning within schools. The conversation delves into why educational reform often fails when it focuses on incremental improvements rather than structural changes, emphasizing the importance of authentic learning experiences, student motivation, and agency.Adrian shares insights on how small but significant changes—like creating "sandboxes" for experimentation and expanding the audience for student work—can lead to meaningful transformation. The discussion covers the pitfalls of over-relying on extrinsic motivators like grades, the value of interdisciplinary and project-based learning, and the need for flexible systems that nurture both passion and competence in students. Practical examples, such as school newspapers and project weeks, illustrate how schools can foster ownership, engagement, and real-world skills.Making little pockets where students can be seen in a different light with different experiencesHow education has an architecture problem, not an effort problem. The flow of the river. Curricularize them!Neglect students' autonomy at our own demise.More about motivation. Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation.False fails - good ideas that are implemented into architecture that rejects them. Design principles - authenticity, flexibility, mutuality (we are connected), and simplexity (designed simple but able to handle a complex reality)School Newspaper as an example of mutuality.The whole game at a junior level - Good architectures that already exist. Avenues World SchoolWhat comes first, passion or competence? Interdisciplinary teamsHow to be a transformative principal? Make a decision that we are going to have two official expositions of student work. Create a sandbox, a space of possibility. About Adrian IrelandAdrian Ireland is an international educator, systems thinker, and author dedicated to reimagining the architecture of learning. With extensive experience teaching and leading across Asia and Europe, Adrian has spent his career challenging the traditional, standardized models of education by championing learner-centered approaches that value individuality, curiosity, and creativity. His entrepreneurial mindset drives him to experiment with bold ideas, test innovative systems, and design frameworks that empower both students and educators to thrive. He wears a mix of hats that have shaped his perspectives on education: Watching the development and natural learning progressions of his two boys as father. Coaching Volleyball at both high and low levels. Teaching in the classroom in both middle and high school. Leading full school change efforts around interdisciplinary learning and project-based learning. Redesigning time and scheduling to allow space for change and most recently Coordinating the MYP (Middle Years Program). Rooted in both practical classroom experience and a deep understanding of educational theory, Adrian believes that the future of learning lies not in small improvements, but in daring to create something fundamentally different. His work blends systems thinking with human-centered design principles, helping schools and organizations shift toward environments that foster authentic engagement and personal growth.In "Designing Different", Adrian shares the lessons, insights, and strategies gathered from years of navigating the complexity of educational reform, inspiring others to move beyond "better" and design the future of learning.

The episode explores the Raute hierarchy, decision-making traditions, and their remarkable meat-sharing culture that reinforces community unity. Amir also sheds light on the Rautes´ relationship with money, disputes and conflict resolution, and how they maintain their independence from modern governance systems.

What Restoring Extinct Species Means for Modern Medicine: Dr. Beth Shapiro, Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences

Could studying the DNA of extinct animals – or even bringing them back to life – help us save today's endangered species and inform modern medicine? That may sound like the premise for a Hollywood movie, but it's work that our Raise the Line guest, Dr. Beth Shapiro, is actually engaged in as Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, which describes itself as the world's first and only de-extinction company. “It's not just about learning about the past. It's learning about the past so we have more validated scientific information that we can use to predict what we can do to better influence the future,” she tells host Michael Carrese. An internationally-renowned evolutionary molecular biologist and paleogeneticist, Dr. Shapiro is a pioneer in ancient DNA research and has successfully sequenced genomes, like that of the dodo, to study evolution and the impact on humans. At Colossal Biosciences, she leads teams working to bring back traits of extinct species such as the mammoth, not for spectacle, but to restore ecological balance. “When species become extinct, you lose really fundamental interactions between species that existed in that ecosystem. By taking a species that's alive today and editing its DNA so that it resembles those extinct species, we can functionally replace those missing ecological interactions.” Tune into this utterly fascinating conversation to hear about what Jurassic Park got wrong, the positive ecological impact of reintroducing giant tortoises to Mauritius, and the ethics of using gene editing and other biotechnologies.

Breaking Barriers to Leadership for Women in Medicine: Dr. Roopa Dhatt, Co-Founder of Women in Global Health

According to the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, women make up 70% of the global healthcare workforce but hold only about 25% of leadership positions. Our guest today on Raise the Line, Dr. Roopa Dhatt, has been a leading voice in the movement to correct that imbalance through co-founding an organization called Women in Global Health (WGH), which has established chapters in over 60 countries since it started a decade ago. Dr. Dhatt is also pursuing that agenda and addressing other pressing issues in healthcare as a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum. “We're changing the equation so women delivering health are also viewed and valued as leaders,” says the internal medicine physician and assistant professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Beyond leadership equity, Dr. Dhatt is also seeking to address systemic pay inequities and high levels of violence and harassment experienced by women in the health sector, issues that were highlighted in research conducted by WGH. Although WGH has seen high-level success influencing policy at the World Health Organization and United Nations, Dr. Dhatt says the heart of its success is local. “Women community health workers have begun to see themselves as leaders and the heroines of health in their communities. That's profound change.” Join host Michael Carrese for a probing conversation that identifies the structural barriers blocking advancement for women and that explains why the health of communities and the planet depend on inclusive leadership.Mentioned in this episode:Women in Global HealthWHO Report: Delivered By Women, Led By MenDr. Roopa Dhatt on LinkedIn If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Kenya's Chinese Debt Swap Comes With a Hidden Currency Risk

The Kenyan Treasury last month announced a breakthrough in its years-long effort to restructure billions of dollars still owed to the China Exim Bank that were used to build the Standard Gauge Railway. The two sides agreed to convert the remaining $3.5 billion of debt from higher-interest-rate U.S. dollar-denominated loans to more affordable yuan-denominated loans, which would potentially generate $215 million in savings for the Treasury. Both Ethiopia and Indonesia are also in talks with Chinese creditors doing the same kind of currency swap to restructure billions of dollars of railway loans. Yufan Huang, a pre-doctoral fellow with the China-Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University and one of the world's leading experts on Chinese debt restructuring, joins Eric to discuss Kenya's new swap and why the promised savings could be illusory.

AI, Privacy, and the General Counsel's Role in Responsible Innovation

Lane Blumenfeld is the Chief Legal Officer for Data Driven Holdings (DDH). Through its portfolio companies, headed by TEAM VELOCITY, DDH has become a market leader of data-powered technology and marketing solutions for the automotive industry. Lane was named a Top 50 Corporate Counsel by OnCon. Lane holds a JD from Yale Law School, an MA in international affairs from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), and a BA magna cum laude from Cornell University. In this episode… The pressure on companies to deliver faster, more personalized digital experiences often conflicts with their privacy and security obligations. General counsels sit at the center of this tension, balancing the business value of personal data with the need to protect it. That's why their involvement early in product development is essential. Working with product and engineering teams from the start allows legal teams to build safeguards into design, before products and services reach customers. So, how can companies find the right balance without compromising privacy and security? AI also adds a new layer of complexity. As companies use it to analyze data, refine customer targeting, and generate marketing content, legal teams and general counsels are adapting to evolving regulations. While clean, reliable data is essential, general counsels need to evaluate accuracy and bias to ensure responsible use. Even as AI advances, fundamental privacy and security principles still apply. That's why it's important for organizations to take ownership of their privacy practices, especially when it comes to privacy notices and vendor relationships. Companies shouldn't depend on generic privacy notices or third-party templates that fail to reflect their actual data handling practices. Vendor contracts need equal attention, with privacy and cybersecurity provisions that mirror company commitments to consumers, since one vendor's mistake can create significant risk. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Lane Blumenfeld, Chief Legal Officer at Data Driven Holdings, about how general counsels can balance innovation with privacy and security. Lane explains how early legal involvement helps embed privacy and security into product design. He emphasizes that clear, accurate privacy notices and well-structured vendor contracts are essential for reducing privacy and security risks and maintaining accountability. And, as AI reshapes compliance obligations, Lane highlights the need for defined ownership across legal, product, and vendor teams and why companies sometimes need to walk away from vendors that expose them to excessive risk.

A Case for Talking about the “Summer Slide” in the Fall (featuring David Schipper)

Are they 18 yet?â„¢

Every time I look into research on the summer slide, I get more confused. It's no wonder professionals and families are scrambling every May as they think about how kids should be spending their time in the summer. I've intended to do a deep dive into the research and gain a better understanding of how significant the “slide” is, for who, and what, exactly, is sliding. At the time I'm writing this, I still don't feel I've done that. What I can do is speak to what I DO understand, which is why I wanted to share my commentary and a clip from my interview with my colleague, David Schipper, as we discuss our conclusions on the “summer slide”. At the end of the interview, I ended up with more questions than answers, but we both came to the conclusion that kids who are already behind will benefit from consistent, explicit intervention, and that we'd both want to take advantage of time available to close gaps in students who are already behind at the end of the school year. David Schipper is the director of Strategic Learning Clinic, a position he has held since 2013. David obtained a B.A. in English Literature from Concordia University in 1998 as well as a B.Ed. in Secondary Education (English and History) from McGill University in 2002. After some work as a local teacher in Montreal, David founded 2Torial Educational Centre in 2007. Aside from his ability to put both parents and students at ease, David is able to help families get to the root of the problem(s) and propose the most suitable programs to resolve these issues. As a father of two children, David knows how to relate to the concerns of parents and as an experienced educator and passionately understands the struggles of students. His passion and dedication to teaching and learning is second to none.Here are some questions and discussion points from this episode:✅ Why we need to think about the summer in the preceding fall, not in May.✅ Looking at cumulative gains over the entire year rather than focusing on ONE time period.✅ Some students are already behind when summer starts. So how much time should we spend debating if a “slide” exists”? In this episode, I mention the School of Clinical Leadership, my program for related service providers who want to take a leadership role in implementing executive functioning support. You can learn more about the program here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/efleadershipI also mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives SLPs and other service providers a system for language therapy.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Sacred land, contested memory, and a centuries-long fight for sovereignty, this conversation with Dr. Garrey Dennie traces the deep antiquity of the Kalinago in St. Vincent, their transformation into a maritime powerhouse, and the strategic choices that delayed European domination for generations. Instead of a single “first contact,” we explore two: the catastrophic arrival of Europeans and the liberatory meeting of Kalinago communities with Africans who escaped or were freed from bondage.Dr. Dennie unpacks genocide as a 300-year process, where pathogens, forced labor, and scorched-earth campaigns worked in tandem to clear land for sugar and slavery. He explains how the union that produced the Garifuna did more than build solidarity; it created a hybrid identity with immunological resilience that helped communities survive. From the First and Second Carib Wars to the brutal detention on Baliceaux and the mass exile of 1797, we follow the pivotal moments that transformed St. Vincent and, paradoxically, shortened its time as a British slave society through relentless resistance.We also step inside a landmark scholarly effort: the forthcoming multi-volume Native Genocide and African Enslavement in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He is one of four Vincentian historians co-authoring the series that restores Indigenous and Garifuna perspectives to the center, bridges archaeology and epidemiology with political history, and invites listeners to reconsider where homeland and belonging truly reside. If you're ready to move beyond textbook myths and confront the intertwined stories of survival, identity, and power, this episode offers a clear, compelling path forward.Dr. Garrey Dennie is an Associate Professor of History at St. Mary's College of Maryland and a founder of its Program in African and African Diaspora Studies. He obtained his first degree at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill and his Ph. D at The Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Dennie has also lectured at the University of the West Indies at the Mona campus in Jamaica. Dr. Dennie has produced and published original scholarship on the politics of death in modern South Africa. And in the greatest privilege of his life, Dr. Dennie served as a speechwriter for Nelson Mandela in the battle to destroy white rule in apartheid South Africa.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

From Lab to Clinic: Building Safer Tools for Mothers and Babies: 42

MedTech Speed to Data

In-utero procedures can yield better long-term outcomes for the baby. However, fetal surgery relies on instruments developed for other disciplines. An early-stage startup in Maryland is developing in-utero instruments to improve outcomes for both fetus and mother.Fetal Therapy Technologies CEO Selena Shirkin joins Key Tech's Andy Rogers for Episode 42 of the MedTech Speed to Data podcast to discuss startup innovation in fetal surgery.Need to knowFetal surgeries carry risks — In addition to uterine damage complicating future pregnancies, 40% of surgeries have a risk of preterm birth.Few specialized tools are used — In the field's forty-year history, the FDA has only approved the Karl Storz Fetoscope for use in fetal surgeries.Off-label device use is widespread — Equipment borrowed from adjacent fields like laparoscopy and neurosurgery weren't indicated for use in the uterus.The nitty-grittyShirkin and Chief Technology Officer Eric McAlexander founded Fetal Therapy Technologies as students in Johns Hopkins University's biomedical engineering graduate program. While shadowing surgeons, they saw how off-label instruments complicated procedures.“I watched a surgeon using a grasper and suture,” Shirkin recalled. “The suture was falling out of the grasper because they didn't fit. It took time in the surgery to make sure that didn't occur.”Observations like these led the team to wonder why the field lacked optimized tools. “As biomedical engineers,” Shirkin says, “we asked ourselves what if we created those purpose-built instruments that actually make these procedures safer?”They quickly ran into the commercial limits of a market as small as fetal surgery. With only one device FDA-approved for in-uterine procedures, surgeons have no choice but to use devices off-label. So Fetal Therapy Technologies is flipping the script by leveraging the broader applications of an instrument designed for fetal surgeries.“In a way, our company solves two problems at once,” Shirkin says. “A company that creates a fetal innovation [that] also raises a much broader market of general microsurgery.”Their first product is a uterine port. “Similar to laparoscopic surgeries,” Shirkin explains, “that involves inserting a port through the abdomen into the uterus. [The new] port is designed to leverage the elastic properties of the uterine environment to make entry safer than the current clinical standard.”For broader commercialization, they aim to demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices and qualify as a 510(k) Class II device following benchtop and animal studies. Approval for fetal surgeries is a longer journey, but the company can build on its data before entering human trials.Data that made the difference:Shirkin offered insights for other students considering an entrepreneurial future in MedTech.Leverage university resources. “We work incredibly closely with the Johns Hopkins Center for Fetal Therapy,” Shirkin says. We've also gotten opportunities from Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures.”Build a network of advisors. “We are supported by a very broad variety of clinical, technical, and business mentors across the Johns Hopkins ecosystem and beyond.”Tap into local funding sources. “There's a lot of collegiate business plan competitions that we've been very successful [raising] non-dilutive funds that way. There are also state-level grants. We just received a Baltimore Innovation Initiative grant.”

“It's kind of a miracle, frankly,” says Dr. John Buse, a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, referring to the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as Ozempic in treating type 2 diabetes, promoting significant weight loss, and reducing cardiovascular risk. As a physician scientist for the last three decades at UNC, Dr. Buse has played a key role in ushering in this new era of diabetes care, leading or participating in over 200 clinical studies on this class of drugs and others. “Nothing has impacted diabetes care like the GLP-1 receptor agonists. I have lots of patients whose diabetes was never well controlled who have seen all their metabolic problems essentially resolved.” In this fascinating conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Buse not only explains how these drugs work, but also provides a clear-eyed look at side effects, and addresses issues of cost and access. Join us for the remarkable story – including the role played by Gila monsters -- behind one of the biggest developments in medicine over the past several years from a world renowned diabetes researcher and clinician.
