Deron Stender has spent 24 years leading school districts, and one lesson stands above the rest: communication builds trust. Hear how early setbacks helped shape his belief that communication isn't just part of leadership - it's one of the most important leadership skills a superintendent can develop.Are you telling your community what's happening - or involving them in the conversation? Deron shares a simple mindset shift that's helped him gain buy-in around difficult financial decisions and strengthen relationships across his district.Every leader needs someone who will tell them the truth. Learn how Deron found a trusted staff partner who isn't afraid to say, "This doesn't make sense," and why that honest feedback has made all the difference in his district's communications.Small districts may not have a dedicated communicator, but they can't afford to ignore communication. Deron explains why investing in communication training, professional networks, and relationship-building can have a lasting impact on your school district's success.SPECIAL GUESTDeron StenderSuperintendentCreston Community Schools, IowaEmail: dstender@crestonschools.org Website: https://www.crestonschools.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100048656033523 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ccsd_panthers/ X: https://x.com/CCSD_Panthers USEFUL INFORMATIONLearn more about your local School Public Relations Association here.Order your copy of my book Social Media for Schools: Proven Storytelling Strategies & Ideas to Celebrate Your Students & Staff - While Keeping Your Sanity now!Interested in our membership program?

In this episode I have a conversation with a dad from New York, who with his wife, experienced the ridiculous nature of the COVID lie and withdrew their two children from their K12 school district and never looked back.  We talk about pediatricians, shots, the COVID lie, schools, Abeka.com, home-learning, behavior, and moving forward in a positive direction.  As he says, the time is now to leave and home-learning with your children.

At ISTE 2026, Jethro Jones sits down with Mike Anderson to discuss his new book, Hugging Porcupines: Practical Strategies for Supporting Kids Who Struggle with Behavior in School. They explore why some students disengage, resist connection, and act out — and how teachers can respond with strategies built on the "three-legged stool" of academic engagement, respectful discipline, and positive relationships. The conversation covers building classroom rules collaboratively, the difference between consequences and punishments, and why problem-solving conferences (not just sending kids to the office) are key to real behavior change.

When you think of this movie, you don't remember the plot – you remember the first time you realized a real human being was actually doing all that insane stunt work on your VHS copy.  Is this the most believable “one guy vs. twenty dudes” fighting ever put on film?  Does the awful dubbing ruin the vibe, or is it secretly the thing that makes this movie so endlessly rewatchable?  Is Elaine the most brutally screwed shop owner we've ever covered? We tackle all of this and more as we decide whether Rumble in the Bronx actually holds up… or if we're just here to watch Jackie Chan hit people with refrigerators. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:16 :00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:33 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

For years, the conversation around educational technology centered on one question: How can we get more technology into classrooms? Today, we’re facing a different challenge. It’s time to move beyond debates about screen time and start thinking more intentionally about when technology leads to deeper... The post Beyond Screen Time: The Low Tech Learning Matrix appeared first on Spencer Education.

This week on The 100% Principal Podcast, Robyn Jackson unpacks a pattern she caught in three separate conversations this week: school leaders quietly shrinking their vision because they've stopped believing their staff can rise to it. If you're a K12 principal or school leader heading into back-to-school planning, this episode names the hidden ceiling on your own vision — and the one sentence that can break it.

With back-to-school season right around the corner, I keep thinking about a moment from my own high school years – a moment so small I barely registered it at the time. I noticed a kid sitting alone, stuck out my hand, and said hi. That was it. What I didn't know was that it would change his life, and honestly, mine too. This is a re-air of one of my favorite episodes from the archives, originally recorded as an interview I did on the podcast Becoming for Teens. I'm bringing it back now because our schools need more kids brave enough to look up, reach out, and make someone feel like they belong. And the truth is, so do our communities. You'll come away from this one thinking about:

Pete Hall joins Jethro Jones live at ISTE 2026 to discuss his new book, Reaching and Teaching Kids Who Don't Fit in the Box. They dig into the five core reasons students disengage from school (not fitting in, academic gaps, boredom, lack of support, and emotional struggles), and share practical strategies teachers can use immediately — including setting self-concordant student goals, using AI to personalize entry tasks around student interests, and asking "cognitive interest cue" questions that spark curiosity instead of just testing recall. The conversation also explores shifting from "who knows the answer" questioning to more inclusive approaches that invite all students to participate, even with wrong answers. Pete closes with details on his book's pre-sale discount.

Chris and Mark break down some headline stories and dig into a longer conversation about vibe coding in K12. They discuss Common Sense Media's poor safety rating of Google Search's AI mode, continued reporting from databreaches.net about the unresolved Navigate360 anonymous tip database breach, and ClassLink data analyzing device screen time across 5.5 million students. The main conversation is vibe coding - using large language models (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to generate and deploy code. They talk practical use cases and big concerns. Should vibe coding be used in schools for small utilities? Classroom tools? IT automations? They talk about security, data exposure, maintainability, single‑person liabilities, and more. ———— Sponsored by: Meter NTP VIZOR Fortinet Managed Methods Howard Incident IQ  ———— Join the K12TechPro Community (exclusively for K12 Tech professionals) Buy some swag (tech dept gift boxes, shirts, hoodies...)!!!

This weekend, Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, and Jeff Kent will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Naturally, Tim Kurkjian makes the case for why each of these baseball legends is deserving of the honor. We all know Luis Arraez is a contact machine, but his latest stat has everyone stunned. Nolan Ryan and Goose Gossage? It sounds impossible, but it's true—and it's this week's On This Date in Baseball History. Alphabet Best moves on to last names beginning with R, and one pick is as obvious as it gets. Before that, Team Tim is made up entirely of players who go by three names. Trust us—there are a lot more than you'd think. Plus, we crack open some baseball cards for Tim to riff on, featuring Patrick Wisdom, Kevin Youkilis, and Matt Olson. And this week's Quirkjians highlights a Phillies baserunning blunder that has Jeff completely beside himself.

This interview with John Buccigross isn't just normally good—it's great. He even showed up with some incredible memorabilia, including a bobblehead that absolutely blew our minds. We're always fans of a good show-and-tell, and John definitely delivered. Of course, we couldn't resist throwing some of our signature hypothetical questions his way—including one about hockey. We also dive into Dan Patrick's legendary confidence in his own athletic abilities. Tim, John, and Dan spent many years together at ESPN, so there are plenty of great stories and laughs along the way. And then there's Bucket of Chicken Night. We'll let John tell that story because it deserves to be heard firsthand. John has been a longtime friend of the Kurkjian family, and we're thrilled to finally have him on the show.

You know this one will be good because it's the second time we're welcoming Suzanne Searcy Johnson to the podcast! This time, we dig into why decluttering is only the first step toward a simpler life, and what it really takes to enjoy life beyond the clutter. In this episode, you'll learn: Why organizing your space can be its own subtle form of control, and how to recognize when decluttering has become the end goal instead of a starting point What "Blue Zones" are and how they contribute to longer, more fulfilling lives Why expectations can quietly turn into resentment in our closest relationships If you've ever cleaned out your closets and still felt unsettled, this conversation is a wise reminder that true simplicity isn't just about your space. It's about nature, others, spirituality, and yourself.

Outline and Show NotesShow Title: Reimagining Leadership in the Age of AI with Jerry AlmendarezTeaser (written by Claude ai):Today's episode tackles a question that should make every one of us a little uncomfortable: why do our school systems keep working harder without getting meaningfully better results? My guest has spent more than 30 years wrestling with that question — first as a classroom teacher, then as Superintendent of Santa Ana Unified, leading over 41,000 students and 5,000 staff. Jerry Almendarez learned that real change doesn't come from piling on more programs — it comes from rethinking how leaders make decisions, build relationships, and see what's coming before it arrives. Now, through Creative Futures Collaborative, Jerry works with superintendents and executive teams to redesign how leadership systems actually process information — using artificial intelligence not to add another tool to the pile, but to help leaders think clearer, connect deeper, and act earlier. If you've ever felt buried by the pace of decisions you're asked to make, this conversation is for you. Stick around — we're about to get into how intelligence should move before it ever reaches governance.Sponsor Spot 1:As a teacher or administrator, you're already juggling a hundred moving parts — and planning a student trip can feel like adding one more full-time job.That's why I want to tell you about Kaleidoscope Adventures. They've specialized in educational travel for more than three decades, and they understand what it takes to run a trip that's organized, safe, and genuinely valuable for students.They take care of everything — planning, coordination, and the behind-the-scenes details — so you can focus on the experience.If student travel is on your radar, Kaleidoscope Adventures is ready to help you travel beyond expectations.Show IntroGuest Bio (edited by Claude.ai)Jerry Almendarez is a former superintendent and founder of Creative Futures Collaborative, where he works with superintendents and executive leadership teams to redesign leadership systems for the age of artificial intelligence. With more than 30 years in public education, including serving as Superintendent of Santa Ana Unified School District, Jerry led a system of over 41,000 students and 5,000 staff. His experience revealed that meaningful change is not driven by more programs, but by fundamentally rethinking how leaders make decisions, build relationships, and anticipate the future. During his tenure, Jerry led large-scale system transformation efforts, including the expansion of digital learning and the integration of artificial intelligence into district operations — designed to strengthen decision-making and support more responsive leadership. Today, through Creative Futures Collaborative, Jerry helps leaders reclaim clarity in complex environments by rethinking how intelligence moves before it reaches governance — using technology to think better, connect deeper, and act earlier.Original Guest Bio:Jerry Almendarez is a former superintendent and founder of Creative Futures Collaborative, where he works with superintendents and executive leadership teams to redesign leadership systems for the age of artificial intelligence. With more than 30 years in public education, including serving as Superintendent of Santa Ana Unified School District, Jerry led a system of over 41,000 students and 5,000 staff. His leadership was shaped by a central question that now defines his work: why do education systems continue to work harder without achieving significantly better outcomes? His experience — from classroom teacher to district leader — revealed that meaningful change is not driven by more programs, but by fundamentally rethinking how leaders make decisions, build relationships, and anticipate the future. During his tenure, Jerry led large-scale system transformation efforts, including the expansion of digital learning, the development of community-centered engagement models, and the integration of artificial intelligence into district operations. These efforts were designed not just to improve efficiency, but to strengthen decision-making, personalize learning, and support more responsive leadership systems. Today, through Creative Futures Collaborative, Jerry works with superintendents and executive cabinets to redesign how leadership systems process information, build foresight, and make better first-time decisions. His work helps leaders reclaim clarity in complex environments — not by adding more tools, but by rethinking how intelligence moves before it reaches governance. He believes the future of education will not be defined by technology alone, but by leaders who know how to use it to think better, connect deeper, and act earlier on behalf of the communities they serve.Warmup questions:We always like to start with a celebration. What are you celebrating today?Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?Questions/Topics/PromptsYou focus on helping school leaders use AI in three ways:Make better decisionsFree up timeStrengthen foresightEssentially, you are helping school leaders leverage AI to develop better systems so they can focus on people and priorities instead of tasks and urgency. Let's start at the thousand-foot view and then get down to the nitty gritty.Why AI as a systems tool?What are the essential skills APs need for leveraging AI?What are some examples of low-hanging fruit – systems that APs could build relatively easily?What pitfalls should people be aware of?If someone listening decides they want to dive into using ai to improve their systems, what is the first step?Sponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

Lately, my kids have been watching a lot of TV. More than I'd like to admit. And for a while, I let myself spiral about it. What kind of mom lets her kids zone out on screens all day? What is that doing to them? But then I caught myself, because I've learned that there's a difference between self-confronting and shame-spiraling. And, once I stopped the shame-spiral, I reminded myself that our family is going through a hard time right now, and if some extra screens are going to support us through it, that's not the end of the world. What our home needs most right now is compassion. My kids need an extra dose of compassion, and so do I. That's what gets us through hard times. This week's episode is a recording from a small group coaching call I did back in 2019, with about twenty women who were in the thick of hard seasons with their kids. We talk about how to support your kids through struggles, and how you can support yourself, too. In this episode, you'll hear:

Today's solo episode shares a timely reminder that AI can absolutely support school communication - but it should never replace the real, authentic stories that build trust with families.You'll hear why student photos, names, and likenesses need extra caution when AI tools are involved, even when families have already signed photo permission forms.AI-created flyers may look impressive, but they often create problems for social media. Andrea explains why tiny text, too many details, and QR codes can make your message harder for families to act on.This episode gives you practical language and simple guardrails to share with staff so your district can use AI responsibly while protecting privacy, accessibility, clarity, and trust.Email: andrea@socialschool4edu.com  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreagribble/  Website: www.socialschool4edu.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/socialschool4edu   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/socialschool4edu/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SocialSchool4EDU USEFUL INFORMATIONDownload the 2026-2027 Special Days to CelebrateAI flyer example and draft of letter to send to your staffOrder your copy of my book Social Media for Schools: Proven Storytelling Strategies & Ideas to Celebrate Your Students & Staff - While Keeping Your Sanity now!Interested in our membership program?

In today's episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher implements her own advice to “face the brutal facts” in education. As educational leaders in both K12 and higher education face a changing landscape, Dr. Pilcher explains that it's crucial for leaders to attend to the bottom line to provide what's best for students. Listen as she encourages the practice of facing the brutal facts and responding in positive ways by using scorecards and short cycles of improvement; having open conversations with other leaders; helping people understand where they've been, where they are now, how they got to where they are now; tracking progress; engaging in problem-solving discussions; and making decisions even when they are difficult. Recommended Resources:  Drive Student Achievement with Scorecards, Get Aligned: Strategic Plans, Scorecards, and Measures that Matter Follow Host Dr. Janet Pilcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetpilcher/

Anchor Chat #32: The Middle MattersIn this episode, Dr. Woods challenges educators to rethink where they focus their attention by highlighting a group of students who often go unnoticed—the ones in the middle. While schools naturally devote time and resources to students who are struggling and those who are excelling, there is tremendous potential among students who are quietly meeting expectations but may not be reaching their full potential. Dr. Woods explores how intentional instruction, meaningful challenges, and a focus on growth can help these students move beyond simply being "on track" to truly thriving. This Anchor Chat encourages educators to look beyond proficiency and ask a more important question: How can we help every student maximize their potential?

Today's new episode is taking us back to 2001's Vanilla Sky. We're all mainlining Radiohead, questioning reality, and wondering if cryogenic lucid dreaming might be better than actual life. Is this an A+ sci‑fi romance that hits harder the older you get, or an overcooked vanity project with a killer soundtrack? When does the dream actually start, and does the “it was all a dream” twist ruin the movie or secretly make it great? Would you choose a perfectly curated forever with your soulmate, or jump off the building and wake up 150 years in the future with nothing?

Who wouldn't want to ride their bike to school with Benson Boone or Zara Larsson?? In this super fun episode that wraps up our mini-series on community, Sam Balto, founder of Bike Bus World, shares how bike buses help kids get to school while building stronger, more connected communities. Even if you don't want to head up a bike bus (maybe you'll want to after listening!), this episode is full of inspiring reminders that getting outside, allowing for a bit of risk, and trusting each other creates the community we're all craving.

Grief has been close to my family lately, and in the weeks since losing my brother-in-law Logan, I've found myself returning again and again to the memories that hold the people we love, long after they're no longer here. This July 14th marks twenty-three years since my mother passed away from breast cancer. I was nineteen years old. And this episode (one of the most personal I've ever recorded) is my tribute to her. My mom had a gift for seeing strengths in her children before they could see them in themselves — and for my mom, helping me find my voice, quite literally, was one of the most loving things she ever did for me. This episode is a musical tribute because music is where she first showed me who I was. In it, you'll hear about

This week we're talking about the food items in movies that made us want to reach through the screen and take a bite. Sometimes a piece of pizza just looks so ridiculously good that it becomes as memorable as the movie itself. We're counting down some of our favorites, arguing over which ones we'd actually want to eat, which ones probably aren't nearly as good as they look, and why filmmakers are somehow able to make a simple bag of burgers look absolutely incredible. It's a fun one that had us unexpectedly hungry the entire time. —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

In this episode, host Mike Caldwell sits down with Jo Lane, an educator support and instructional coach with 16 years of experience, who is currently a principal coach based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jo shares insights from her new book, Burn the Script: How Great Coaches Disrupt Thinking and Transform Practice, released May 19th.The conversation dives deep into the concept of "mental fossils" — the ingrained beliefs and behavioral scripts educators develop from past professional experiences that often hold them back from growth. Jo breaks down how beliefs are anchored by three factors: skill, identity, and value, and explains why simply teaching a skill isn't enough to change behavior if underlying beliefs aren't addressed.Show Notes:Substack: EduCoach by Jo LeinLinkedIn: Jo LeinBook: Burn the Script: How Great Coaches Disrupt Mindsets and Transform PracticeInstagram/TikTok: @educoachbyjo We're proud to be sponsored by IXL. IXL's comprehensive teaching and learning platform for math, language arts, science, and social studies is accelerating achievement in 95 of the top 100 U.S. school districts.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls -  is this a better than the original or a lazy, cash-grab sequel that Jim Carrey tried to tank on purpose?  Isr the raccoon “cliffhanger” opener is actually better than Stallone's Cliffhanger?  Does Ace crosses the line from “weird guy” to straight-up unlikable and does the rhino birth scene belong in the all-time physical comedy hall of fame?   Is this truly just a “kid movie” carried by Carrey's energy, or does it deserve more credit than the critics ever gave it?  We answer all of this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:18:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:23:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

I have been a writer my whole life. Long before this podcast existed, writing was how I made sense of my hardest seasons, how I figured out what I actually thought and felt, and how I slowly found my way through pain I didn't know how to carry any other way. Some of that writing happened in therapy. And some of the most important pages I ever filled were written during my recovery from an eating disorder.In this episode, I share three of those pieces: an essay I posted on my personal blog, a narrative therapy piece my counselor guided me through, and a letter I wrote to my own body. Together, they trace a journey from desperation to hope to something that finally, finally felt like peace. In this episode, you'll hear me share: ✍️ What my counselor asked me to write that cracked something open in me, and why I think anyone doing hard inner work should try it ✍️ The running path conversation that changed everything ✍️ The letter to my body I was sure would come out angry — and what came out instead This is soul care in its most honest, vulnerable form. I hope something in this episode gives you permission to honor your own needs and do deep, healing soul-care. Note: This episode contains references to faith and prayer as part of my personal healing journey.

This week we're talking about the drinks in movies that made us want to reach through the screen and take a sip. Sometimes a drink just looks so ridiculously good that it becomes as memorable as the movie itself. We're counting down some of our favorites, arguing over which ones we'd actually want to drink, which ones probably aren't nearly as good as they look, and why filmmakers are somehow able to make a simple glass of ice and liquid look absolutely incredible. It's a fun one that had us unexpectedly thirsty the entire time. —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge - Order some and learn more at http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.
