Somatic education guides us toward differentiation, integration, and transcendence. All these integrated are key to discerning and distinguishing different aspects of oneself, paving the way for deeper self-awareness and understanding. Today, I'm excited to explore the transformative world of somatic education alongside Lawrence Gold. He takes us through his unique approach, where he integrates somatic principles into psychological states and creative capacities, providing a holistic framework for personal growth and self-discovery. In this particular episode, Lawrence takes us through: - His unique perspective on somatic education and its applications. - Key Stages in his approach: Differentiation, integration, and transcendence. - How differentiation through discerning and distinguishing different aspects of oneself, paves the way for deeper self-awareness and understanding. - Integration and how it leads to unexpected outcomes and novel perspectives. - How transcendence leads to a process of awakening and growth. - How to explore the uncomfortable space of facing the unknown, the "zone of incomprehensibility."  - Embracing change and growth And so much more!  Trained in 1990 by the originator of Hanna Somatic Education, Thomas Hanna, Lawrence Gold worked on-staff in the movement rehab department of the Wellness & Rehabilitation Center of Watsonville Community Hospital in California from 1997 - 1999. He began his discipline of personal development at age 16 when he participated in the human potential movement by attending workshops at Esalen Institute, followed by the practice of yoga, rolfing, the best training, and other developmental influences, training, and coursework. As a writer in the field of somatics, he integrates multiple disciplines such as healthcare, spiritual development, human development, the social sciences, politics, and other areas of interest, showcased in the blog Full-Spectrum Somatics , and in his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/Lawrence9Gold). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aimee322/support

Welcome to my summer 2023 replay series! This summer, I'm re-releasing some of my favourite ever podcast episodes that I think are well worth a re-listen.This episode, which was originally released back in February 2022, was the 10th episode in my (longer than subsequent seasons) first season!In the episode, I talked about how I came to be a teaching resources writer - from setting up my website (with the help of my very talented stepmum!) to selling over 2500 of my most popular resource (at the last count in 2022, it's now well over 3000, although TES have stopped giving a sales count of resources so I'm not sure of the exact numbers). I also go into quite a lot of detail about my process when it comes to creating each resource, even down to the reasoning behind my font choices!This episode came about as I had received a lot of messages and emails about writing resources and setting up a website, so hopefully I answered some of the most burning questions! As always, while it will be most useful for MFL teachers in England, I also believe that teachers in all subjects and Key Stages, and hopefully even from around the world, will find some helpful takeaways here... after all, writing resources is the essence of lesson planning, regardless of where you are and what you're teaching!After this episode was released, I ran a CPD workshop on Creating Resources, which is available as an exclusive resource as part of my 'Buy Everything' offer https://katelanguages.co.uk/buy-everything/I wrote a blog post on this a few years ago as well, which also contains links to the photo websites I use in my resources - https://katelanguages.co.uk/a-guide-to-creating-and-selling-teaching-resources/As always, let me know your thoughts on this episode, and if you love my free content and would like to buy me a coffee to say thanks, you can do so at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/katelanguagesMusic is from Pixabay by Coma-Media

Hey there, financial freedom seekers!

The customer journey is the series of interactions a customer has with a brand, product, or business as they become aware of a pain point and make a purchase decision. It can be divided into four main stages: awareness, consideration, decision, and loyalty. It is important to understand the customer journey because it can help you improve your marketing and sales strategies. By understanding where customers are in their journey, you can tailor your messaging and offers to their needs. For example, if a customer is in the awareness stage, you may want to focus on advertising and social media campaigns that raise awareness of your brand. If a customer is in the consideration stage, you may want to offer free trials or discounts to encourage them to try your product or service. And if a customer is in the decision stage, you may want to offer a free consultation or guarantee to make them feel confident in their purchase. By understanding the customer journey, you can create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for your customers. This can lead to increased sales, improved customer satisfaction, and stronger brand loyalty. Here are some tips for mapping your customer journey: • Start by identifying your target customers. Who are you trying to reach with your product or service? What are their needs and wants? • Map out the different stages of the customer journey. What are the different touchpoints that customers have with your brand? • Identify the key pain points for your customers at each stage of the journey. What are the challenges they are facing? What are their frustrations? • Develop strategies to address the key pain points at each stage of the journey. How can you make it easier for customers to do business with you? • Measure the results of your efforts. How are your customers responding to your efforts to improve the customer journey? By mapping your customer journey and taking steps to improve it, you can create a more positive and rewarding experience for your customers. This can lead to increased sales, improved customer satisfaction, and stronger brand loyalty. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehumbleentrepreneur/message

If you've listened to one of my podcasts, I'm sure you've heard me speak about the importance of being consistent.  In fact, my formula for success, says it all.   THE FORMULA FOR SUCCESS:   Clarity + Consistency, Over Time, WILL enable you to build the Momentum you need to grow a successful business.  But herein lies an issue when it comes to the formula.   With regards to Clarity – I'm talking about being clear on your message – and more specifically a message that works.

Welcome back to Of Primary Importance!In this podcast series we are exploring all things EYFS and primary with different topics and special guests each fortnight. In this episode, we are joined by Liz Rumsey. Liz qualified as a teacher 11 years ago. Before that, she was a training manager for a large banking organisation. She moved from mainstream primary schools 6 years ago to join Tute and develop alternative provision for primary students. Her role has since developed and, in conjunction with developing and teaching lessons for students, she also has the responsibility of SEND lead teacher across all 5 Key Stages. This role enables me to work collaboratively with students, parents, schools and Local Education Authorities (LEAs) to ensure that all individual requirements are met.In this episode we discussed ‘The role of tutoring in filling gaps in education.'Here are some of the questions I asked Liz:Why did you choose to work at Tute and how did you make that move?What can you tell us about the pupils that use Tute?Is it more common for pupils with SEND or SEMH to access the provision? If so why do you think that is?You mentioned previously that Tute can be used as an alternative provision for any primary student, can you explain how that works?How does the Tute programme work and what is the pupil experience like?What are the benefits of pupils using Tute and are there any additional benefits specific to pupils with SEND or SEMH?Tute's lessons are online, how do you feel this impacts on pupils learning and engagement?What are the challenges with lessons being online?What are your favourite lessons to teach? You can follow Tute education on Twitter at @tuteeducation on Instagram at @tute_education_limited on Facebook at tute.education.limited/.You can also check out their YouTube Channel and website. You can follow me (Kat Cauchi) on Twitter at @ReallyschoolKCheck out #OPIP and #OfPrimaryImportance for more content If you are interested on coming on the show or have a topic suggestion, send me a DM!   Kat Cauchi is the product manager of ReallySchool and the editor of R.I.S.E.

SHOW NOTESWelcome to Episode 7 of the Consulting Edge Podcast and today we are going to speak about the 5 stages from Prospect to Client – and how to handle each stage. But they are not what you think !Firstly the Selling Cycle and Buying Cycle are not the same  and they are not linear!Most consulting businesses use a traditional long drawn out sequential approach to converting prospects into clients. There is a much faster and efficient approach that allows you to go through mini conversions cycles, what I call ‘Sales Sprints' – it's an iterative approach built for speed. It's agile in its nature, it's the process I use to pivot and flow with my prospects or clients changing needs, with ease and it leans into driving consensus quickly and brings it down into the everyday conversations that happen on the ground level. There are five stages that you should navigate your clients through from prospect to client: Prepare - Target - Message - Engage - Advance. I'll take you each of these stages and show you how they work.When you truly become sales agile, you'll bring a differentiated buying experience to your prospects and clients. Becoming agile in the sales pursuit means meeting your clients and prospects where they are in the buying journey, putting them at the centre of all the selling actions, and working in a non-linear way. It enables greater insights, a structured way of messaging the value and a call to action with multiple mini closes that are fine tuned to better position you for success and give you The Consulting Edge.I hope that you manage to get some real value and insight from this week's show. Any questions please email me on masood@theconsultingedge.co or connect with me on LinkedIn and share any of your thoughts or ideas for future topics to discuss on future episodes.

In this episode Toria talks with Balli Dail about driving your own professional development and seeking opportunities to improve your educator expertise.  Balli Dail has been an educator for almost 20 years with teaching experience across all Key Stages from 1- 5 with a specialism and leadership experience in Key Stage 5. Her passion is for teaching Psychology and also collaborating on CPD with her colleagues.  During the pandemic Balli reflected on her own gaps in CPD and this led to her reigniting that drive for self-improvement. She shares in this episode the significance of core values, infinite purpose, utilising resources and  networking opportunities that are available and taking ownership of your own career path. If educators and organisations invest in lifelong learning and represent a desire to improve then this will in turn reflect in the classroom by inspiring our students to do the same. “Success is modest improvement consistently done”  Sean Fitzpatrick (All Blacks Legend and a great source for leadership lessons)

Episode 33C-PTSD and Being Stuck in the MudNot the first time, probably  not the last.August 2, 2021This week I am talking about being “stuck in the mud”. I'm spinning my wheels and I got no traction. It's beginning to trouble me. The good news is that doing this podcast is regenerative for me. I know I have been really inconsistent these past couple of months, but I believe I am on the upswing after increasing my Fluoxetine to 40mg/day. This seems like an appropriate dose for the moment. Don't think that the medication is the only thing that is making a difference. I have had a lot of time to think and thinking I did. I thunk and I thunk and I thunk. Now I'm exhausted from all of the thinking.Today's episode: C-PTSD and Stuck in the Mud details these struggles as well as some ideas to break the logjam. I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but the sun is shining and my mood is improving, poco a poco. I am encouraged. If it weren't for this podcast, I would not be able to say this. I owe much of my improvement, which is marginal at best, to my listeners. You folks who consistently listen to Out of My Mind in Costa Rica. You have my heart and my dedication. Now, let me share a few websites that help to put an exclamation point onto this week's episode.My friend, the friend, whom I highlighted a couple of weeks ago, recommended a book by Pema Chӧdrӧn, entitled When Things Fall Apart.

Are you starting an agency and debating whether you need a partner? Is your agency growing, but you're not sure where to go from here? It doesn't matter what kind of work you produce or how motivated you are if you don't have everything aligned behind the scenes. In today's episode, we'll cover: Why do so many agency partnerships fail? 2 key stages of growing a successful agency. Why your agency should always invest in culture first. Today I had an engaging talk with Francisco Serrano, president and CEO of 121, a digital implementation agency. In the last 16 years, Francisco has grown his agency to a team of 90 employees and just recently hired a COO. He's here to talk about the stages his agency went through to get to where they're at and why you should always put your agency employees first. Why Do So Many Agency Partnerships Fail? I've talked to many agency owners over the years who have started with a partner and eventually dissolved the partnership. It isn't because either partner is bad or not putting enough work; most of the time, it's just not the right fit. And as the agency grows, it's perfectly natural to outgrow one of your partners. Francisco joins a long list of owners who realized they were better off on their own (including myself). If you're thinking about taking on a partner or are currently working with someone, the question is, how can you determine whether a partnership is going to work? The answer comes down to open communication. But before you say, "Great, we've already got that covered," understand there's a difference between being able to talk to your partner and really being honest about what you hope to get out of your agency. The number one reason most partnerships fail is because partners don't have the same vision for the direction of the agency. Before you begin to talk about strategy or revenue or anything else, talk about your focus and your passion. If you don't agree on what you want to stand for, how much work you want to put in, and what you're willing to risk, it's probably not going to work. 2 Key Stages of Growing a Successful Agency So you've begun to see some growth and are getting more clients — great! But if you stay with the same strategy and don't switch it up, eventually, you're bound to hit a plateau. Francisco says there are 2 main stages his agency went through in order to see continued growth: Team building. When you're building a team, usually you're the one that does all the hiring. After all, who better to find the right people for growing your team than you? But as you continue to grow, you'll realize you just don't have enough time to handpick every new member of your team. Francisco says the first big step was hiring an HR professional to recruit and hire new team members, as well as keep the existing ones happy. Execution. Francisco recently brought on a COO to take care of the day-to-day execution. With a team of 90, he wants to focus on building relationships and working on the business, which will ultimately help the agency grow. Why Your Agency Should Always Invest in Culture First When we're first starting out, many of us fail to recognize the importance of agency culture. Francisco makes an interesting analogy between running an agency and osteoporosis. He says, if you don't focus on what's on the inside and what holds everything together, the bones will crumble. A lot of building a solid culture comes down to communicating with your team and understanding what motivates them (no it's not money). Figure out what they're good at, what they want to do, and what just doesn't make them happy. When you do this, you'll find your team is happier, more successful, and devoted to the agency as a whole. You'll never find true success as an agency unless you master the fundamentals. If you have talent, culture, and you can execute, the rest is fun and games. Are You Looking for Outsourced Copywriting for Your Agency or Clients?

Welcome to Press Play Winter 2019/20 - a list of all the latest children's books we have added to the library, covering Key Stages 1 to 4. For a list of the rest of the books added to the library, look out for our sister podcast - For Your Ears Only.

This morning Mrs Hyland presented to Secondary parents about how teachers assess student progress, how it is reported, and how the school supports students who may be underperforming. The talk focused on the importance of finding out the students starting point by using CAT data and teacher assessment to form a baseline assessment, how we use CAT data to generate Key Stage 3 subject specific ‘thresholds’ and Key Stages 4 and 5 target grades, and how we measure progress towards these targets over time. She also shared the new reports structure for Key Stages 3-5 for this academic year and shared strategies for what parents can do at home to support their children’s learning.

In this Teachers’ Podcast episode, Claire meets with Lee Parkinson also known as Mr P a part-time teacher, entrepreneur, technology guru and trainer. Mr P starts by explaining how he started his teaching journey as well as juggling his home life with triplets and a stepson! Mr P and Claire explore the importance of technology within education today. He discusses how schools can embed and incorporate technology within their curriculum and how this can support to reduce teacher’s workload. They discuss the challenges schools face with funding, society, accountability, workload, curriculum, social media and pressures of delivering technology lessons. He explains the various CPD and INSET training he provides to teachers and schools with technology and computing as well as support on how this can be integrated into the curriculum on a day to day basis.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Mr P has been teaching for 12 years. He explains how the headteacher at his school encouraged him to take leadership roles and advised him to take on PPA cover to enable him to broaden his experience across the Key Stages. His headteacher encouraged him to develop his curriculum area, which at the time was ICT. Mr P. explains how he progressed in his role as ICT co-ordinator and the challenges he faced with the lack of resources at his school. He asked the school for better technology and bought a class set of iPads. He then worked with each year group for a half term and looked at how mobile technology can enhance learning. He then started a school Twitter and Facebook page to help engage with pupils and the wider world. He saw a positive response from the social media accounts as there was lots of engagement from his audience. Julian Woods recommended that he should start a teacher Twitter account. He started sharing ‘How to’ videos and blog posts on the teacher page. In 2012, he created a Facebook page and by the end of that academic year he was asked to do training sessions. Alan Peat contacted Mr P because he was interested to bring someone on board who can look at technology. They both then worked together to build each other’s businesses and ideas. Mr P goes on to explain that he learnt a lot about the business side from Alan. They continued to work together and wrote a few books together. He continued providing CPD training in schools and shared blogs on his pages. He continued to see the success of this and began to create more videos including comical and light-hearted videos of life as a teacher. The growth and success of his blogs and pages was increasingly rapidly. He explains the advantages of social media and the support it provides to teachers. It opens the world for teachers to communicate and discuss issues that they be having as well as the opportunity to seek advice from each other. Nonetheless, he mentions the undesirable aspect of social media as people can be negative online. It is important that the curriculum is meaningful and purposeful for your school and pupils. Although Mr P has been working with developing technology within schools for the past 5 years, he doesn’t think it has moved forward as much as he would have liked it to. The main focus of his training is getting teachers to look at ways they can use technology and helping them to use it more efficiently. He would like technology to be used more creatively but this requires a big culture change as well as the time for teachers to develop and understand this. He believes schools don’t utilise technology enough to justify the cost. He narrates that a school has saved up to £10,000 in two years, by using ideas from the technology training which has ultimately reduced paperwork, printing and teachers’ time outside of the classroom. He believes there should be a lot more education and coverage on technology particularly social media. He believes there is a taboo around social media for schools, whereby teachers believe they cannot discuss or talk about social media with children as this may encourage them to use it. He disagrees with this as he believes we need to prepare our children as it is part of the world they are growing up into. He suggests that teachers should raise awareness of social media amongst children as well as help them to understand it. He suggests that this does not ultimately encourage children to use it. Mr P has moved his CPD online on to his website (see valuable resources for website link). Teachers and schools can subscribe to his website where he offers support and training on app tutorials, looking at ways at how apps can enhance the whole curriculum etc. It is not a resource website; it is a CPD website for teachers to access and understand how to use technology more effectively. He explains that teachers need to move away from using technology as a consumer i.e. browse the internet, watch videos, read e-books etc. We need to move from being consumers to creators where we can create videos, designing e-books etc. This allows us to go from engaging to empowering. Mr P focuses on children using technology to create and where this can be adapted in different ways. Book creator – an app that allows children to create their own e-book, embed video, pictures, auto-draw option. This app can be used for any topics across the curriculum. We focus on the what, not the why! Children need not only to be taught the what, they must be taught the why. The application of the skill is vital to ensure children develop a deeper understanding of the programme/context. Focus of a skill should be seen in context, whether that be in technology or within writing, mathematics or other areas of the curriculum. Technology should not replace what we are using rather it should enhance what we are using. Mr Ps social media handle has now become a hobby where he can engage with his followers. Mr P narrates a lesson he delivered to a Year 4 class where he filtered and edited his selfie on an app. He explains the changes he made to the image. He then explains the discussion the class had about why people do it and why people shouldn’t do it. Details about this lesson are on Mr P’s Facebook page. For most of the working week he travels to deliver training, CPD and INSET days to different schools. At the end of the week, he continues his role as a part-time teacher. He now offers a year group cluster training whereby schools can cluster up with local schools, book him for 7 days and receive training for each year group over the course of the 7 days. Mr P would recommend the following computing schemes: Barefoot Computing, Mr P’s website will also have resources available, Code it, Hour of Code, Code.org, Digital-Literacy, National Online Safety (see Valuable Resources for website links). The computing lessons that Mr P delivers in his schools focuses on the Computer Science (decoding, programming etc). The Digital Literacy objectives are covered with the rest of the curriculum. This work is then published on the school’s social media page which demonstrates how to be a positive, responsible digital learner in a purposeful way. One thing in education Mr P disagrees with is the accountability in schools. He suggests that is due to the society we live in and the ‘blame culture’. Leadership should let go of the accountability. Schools focus should move away from books and book scrutinies. This creates a mentality for teachers where they are led to believe it is all about the books and it also narrows the curriculum. The book scrutiny at Mr Ps schools is called a ‘Learning Review’. They look at the books and Seesaw app on the iPads. He states that Seesaw has the biggest impact on workload at his school because it works as a digital exercise book for children. Children can log in to Seesaw by scanning a QR code and evidence their learning using the app. This opportunity allows children to evidence their learning online which embeds the Digital Literacy skills. Mr P’s number app that he would recommend is Seesaw. Tutorials on his website (see link in Valuable Resources) are available. Mr P recommends that schools should buy every member of staff/teacher an iPad and for the first year they should solely focus on exploring and using the iPad to understand how they can use this within their teaching. How can it help them with their planning? How can it be mirrored to the board? How can the work be evidenced through Seesaw? Written text is an integral part of technology. All ideas must be written down for them to be developed and progressed into any form of technology. He believes that the reason why teachers are leaving the profession is due to workload. Workload is directly linked to wellbeing and because schools are not managing their workload effectively the wellbeing aspect has turned into a token gesture. If the labelling culture from OFTSED was taken away it would be a game changer. The three biggest changes he has seen in education; change in government, change in curriculum and focus on accountability. He would like education to be funded sufficiently, trust should be given back to teachers, get rid of OFSTED and technology should be used more effectively.   BEST MOMENTS “I am so grateful for the support both him (Alan Peat) and Julian gave me in those early days. It was just incredible.” “No matter wherever you are teaching in the world, there’s that universal life as a teacher that we can appreciate and have a laugh at. If we didn’t laugh, we would cry.” “I am contracted to work to one day a week but if I am free, I’ll go in and help out wherever I can.” “As teachers we only see the problem within our own school, we can lose sight and not appreciate how could we have got it in certain ways.” “The curriculum is so unique to your school in lots of ways. One school’s curriculum is going to very different from your school.” “Funding is the biggest reason why schools don’t make as much out of technology at the minute.” “The Great Hack on Netflix is a must watch.” “Data now is more expensive than oil.” “You cannot be creative without knowledge.” “If we don’t give children the opportunity to create and apply that knowledge creatively, what’s the point?” “SATS isn’t assessment.” “My must haves would be a TA.” “Education is a political ball game.” “Technology is not an overnight thing.” “Don’t call them book looks because that winds me up, how you have got to make everything rhyme in education.” “If it doesn’t have a direct impact on the kid’s learning, stop doing it.” “Vlogging is such a powerful tool, we don’t utilise it enough.” “Writing is the starting point to absolutely everything.” “Writing is so incredibly important, but we can now use the technology to go a step further with the writing.” “The only universal way to in which we can improve teachers’ wellbeing is to give them time.” “Stop the faff, stop the nonsense.” “OFSTED don’t raise standards. OFSTED check standards to their own subjective views.” “Social media has an impact on teaching.” “Technology is all about balance and making the right choices with it.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/ Mr P’s website: https://www.mrpict.com/ Mr P’s Podcast in a Pod: http://www.2mrpspodcast.com/ Simon Sinek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA Read Write Perform: http://www.readwriteperform.com/ Seesaw app Website: https://web.seesaw.me/ Alan Peat: https://alanpeat.com/ OFSTED Guidance: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/801429/Education_inspection_framework.pdf Barefoot Computing: https://www.barefootcomputing.org/ Code it: http://code-it.co.uk/ Hour of Code: https://hourofcode.com/uk Digital Literacy: https://digital-literacy.org.uk/curriculum-overview.aspx/#yr2 National Online Safety: https://nationalonlinesafety.com/   ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide. Having worked for a number of years as a teacher in both Primary and Secondary education, and experiencing first-hand the difficulties teachers were facing finding appropriate high-quality resources for their lessons, Claire created Classroom Secrets with the aim of helping reduce the workload for all school staff. Claire is a passionate believer in a LIFE/work balance for those who work in education citing the high percentage of teachers who leave or plan to leave their jobs each year. Since February 2019, Classroom Secrets has been running their LIFE/work balance campaign to highlight this concerning trend. The Teachers’ Podcast is a series of interviews where Claire meets with a wide range of guests involved in the field of education. These podcasts provide exciting discussions and different perspectives and thoughts on a variety of themes which are both engaging and informative for anyone involved in education.

EPISODE NOTES  In this episode, Claire meets with James Holmes, owner and developer of MarkMate: a software-based marking system that enables teachers to significantly reduce the time they spend marking by enabling them to quickly give high-quality feedback on their pupils’ work.  Claire talks with James about his journey from starting out as a Year 1 teacher, through to working in Key Stages 2 and 3, and how the excessive demands on time for marking prompted James to develop his new system. James discusses how, without an I.T. background, he self-taught the programming skills he now has, and how his revolutionary new software featured on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den show.  James also discusses the wider implications of the current drive within schools to improve workloads by changing marking processes – including schools that are looking at removing it entirely.  James also shares his thoughts on other ways he feels schools could improve workloads and work/life balance, the biggest changes he has seen in his time in education, and what the school system could look at to improve for the future.  KEY TAKEAWAYS If you’re interested in it, anyone can learn programming skills. While technology – and in particular programming – can seem scary or confusing for those who do not have a background in the area, if you have the time and the drive to get into this field, there is a wealth of resources and support out there, and anyone can self-teach themselves. Technology can enhance all kinds of things. Although there has been a big drive to give computing a higher profile in the classroom, it has started to take more of a backseat again. However, the benefits of teaching children about technology and programming go way beyond the computing curriculum. Children can pick up and develop a wide range of skills which can be applied much more widely and are not necessarily linked to technology, such as logical thinking and considered approaches to problem-solving. Exposure of ideas will help get them ‘out there’. For any teachers (or entrepreneurs in any field) who have developed a revolutionary idea, it can be really hard to get your idea to ‘take off’. Getting your idea out there and showcased can make a huge difference. Teachers are being given more trust now than they have for quite a while. While teachers might say that it still feels as though there is a significant hill yet to climb, schools do seem to be giving more scope for trying things out in the classroom, even if it doesn’t end up working. A big difference now is that an increasing number of educational leaders will listen to those ‘on the ground’ about what works and what doesn’t, and what could work. Engaging pupils with marking, and making feedback as personalised and specific as possible, can encourage and motivate pupils. Marking with little or no engagement by pupils is not time well spent for teachers. Having a system which allows teachers to give useful, personalised and worthwhile feedback, and then allowing pupils time to do something with it, will see gains in learning. Pupils will be much more motivated to improve their work where they feel that it has been valued, and where they can see a benefit to following up on comments and suggestions. There could be a danger that ‘no marking’ policies might end up working to the detriment of pupil progress. Although there is definitely a place for on-the-spot verbal feedback, classroom conversations and one-to-one discussions about work, it is really hard for teachers to do this effectively with a significant number of pupils and for these approaches to have the desired impact. Teachers do work very hard to move children on, but there is a concern that ‘no marking’ policies might end up reducing pupils’ engagement with their work where they feel it is not valued or worthy of effort. James believes that MarkMate helps maintain a ‘conversational’ feel to marking which keeps pupils engaged, but also keeps teachers’ workloads to a minimum. School budgets are tight but, when looking for solutions, how are priorities balanced against money being spent? Decisions in schools will, particularly at the moment, always come back to money. While it can feel easier to dismiss ideas or possible solutions on the basis of cost, if something will demonstrably improve an aspect of the school, it can be worth additional consideration because the long-term benefits could well outweigh the cost. There are parallels between the skills teachers use and those needed in the business world. For any teachers wanting to make a leap into the commercial sector, many of the processes and skills that they regularly use in school can be really helpful: starting with desired outcomes and planning ‘backwards’ to achieve them, being target-orientated, and having good organisational skills are all very useful in a business environment.  BEST MOMENTS  “The students felt like their teacher was talking to them when they were reading [the marking comments] because it was almost conversational.”  “When I was marking books, I knew what I wanted to say, but I would condense it as much as possible to fit it onto that piece of paper.”  “Schools work in different ways and you don’t want to up-heave everything and change everyone’s systems. One personal bugbear… from when I was a teacher was the frustration with schools and higher-level bodies to allow change in policies if there’s something that has a positive impact.”  “From personal experience, I’m hearing a lot at the moment from schools about going down the ‘no marking’ policies. On the surface of it it’s a fantastic approach for work/life balance and teacher retention and it’s a real positive step that people are listening. But for me there was always huge value in the marking I was doing because of the way I delivered it and the way I allowed the students to respond to that marking.”  “[MarkMate] helps with that evidence… Anyone can pick that book up - supply teacher, TA, LSA can pick that book up - and see exactly what’s happened in the last week, in the last month… If you’re going away from written feedback, how is that going to be passed on to other adults? You don’t want to be going in an repeating the same things.”  “There’s a huge emphasis at the moment on teacher retention and work/life balance and well-being which should have been there from day one. It’s not a new concept.” “I’m so grateful that I got into teaching… for so many different reasons. I've taken so much away from that even down to the way that you meet new people and talk to new people.”  “I wouldn’t be here doing this if I didn’t honestly know that it makes marking quicker… I had that light-bulb moment when I marked my first set of books. A set of English books would have normally would have taken me 2 or 3 hours, and even my feedback then would not have been not that great quality if I’m being honest with myself. And then when I marked with [MarkMate] it was 41 minutes.”  “You love teaching for being in the classroom and for working with those students and having that impact however big or however small. What I don’t love is all the other stuff that goes along with it. There was a real turning point when my daughter was born and I was spending more time on other people’s children than I was on my child.”      VALUABLE RESOURCES MarkMate: https://www.markmate.co.uk/   Barefoot Computing: https://www.barefootcomputing.org/  The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/     LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/ ABOUT THE HOST  Claire Riley  Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.  Having worked for a number of years as a teacher in both Primary and Secondary education, and experiencing first-hand the difficulties teachers were facing finding appropriate high-quality resources for their lessons, Claire created Classroom Secrets with the aim of helping reduce the workload for all school staff.  Claire is a passionate believer in a LIFE/work balance for those who work in education citing the high percentage of teachers who leave or plan to leave their jobs each year.

EPISODE NOTES In this episode, Claire meets with Lee Peckover, a former primary school teacher and now Proofreading Manager at Classroom Secrets. Lee discusses how he started his teaching journey, coaching Muay Thai boxing as a teenager, which ignited his interest in helping children learn. From that, he volunteered at a local primary school before gaining his teaching qualification and gaining experience from working in schools. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, Lee made the decision to move out of teaching; he discusses his keen interest in Early Years Foundation Stage and the current developments within this area. Lee also discusses the changes and transitions between year groups and different phases of education – in particular, from Nursery to Reception and then the transition into Year 1 standardised learning. Lee and Claire explore how Classroom Secrets has started to provide EYFS resources for teachers, and the inspiration behind the development and creation of these resources. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the main reasons for leaving teaching was the workload. Although it was a childhood dream and ambition, the strain and workload was having a detrimental effect on his health, which ultimately contributed to Lee’s decision to leave full-time teaching. Nonetheless, working at Classroom Secrets full-time, enables him to stay connected to the education sector, whilst studying a Master’s. He has also begun to research and read materials towards a thesis, in order to move on to studying at a doctorate level. He is interested to see the transition from EYFS to Key Stage 1 – observing children move from play based learning to more formal instruction and standardised learning. Early Years enables children to become confident learners and enables the teacher to observe the passion and enjoyment children get from their school experience. This can be different to the learning that takes place in other Key Stages which is why Lee is so passionate about this particular learning stage. Lee notes that by the end of a child’s academic year in Early Years, they will have spent a quarter of their life in education. EYFS has a different curriculum – The Statutory Framework for EYFS is so different and broad to the National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 and 2. It is important for the curriculums and objectives to be different to allow children to explore in open-ended tasks. The opportunity to have open-ended investigations and play-based learning is not limited to Early Years and when adapted in Key Stage 2 it has worked very well. Early Years allows children the opportunity to learn constantly. They are learning by communicating with others and seeing the adult intervene in their learning. This setting also allows the adult to be removed from the situation, whilst learning continues. Early Years learning is focussed on experience and play-based learning, rather than standardised, formal learning; freedom and choice should be given to all learners in every Key Stage instead of the adult planning every element of the lesson. There are many parts to consider in a lesson for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, for example, input, mini plenary, second input, final plenary, key vocabulary etc, but in Early Years this has never happened - the learning is still taking place. It may be beneficial to take the play-based learning forward to Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 rather than have a trickle-down effect of; if Year 2 have formal learning then Year 1 should also be formal. It is important to give children a reason to want to learn in Early Years. The more frequently this is done, the more this will support learning for Key Stage 1. This opportunity allows children to then be excited for their learning in Year 1 as they have a purpose and understanding of why they are learning and what lies ahead. A longitudinal study that took place in New Zealand, measures the practitioner’s knowledge and the engagement of children in the tasks they were undertaking. Children should be given something they are already interested in and by allowing them the opportunity to finish something as well. The outcomes of the study showed that children who progressed the most were the ones who felt that sense of achievement, who knew they had completed something and who knew they have done something worthwhile. The opportunity to complete and finish the task/activity instead of moving on and cutting it short is important. It is important to give teachers and practitioners the choice of how they would like to use resources and enable them the ownership to be able to adapt them. A Scotland project focuses on age appropriateness of Early Years education. It pushes on a movement towards the idea of starting education at the age of seven. It looks at the impact of starting education at such a young age, right into adulthood and how much of an impact it has on a person’s mental well-being, as well as the pressure it puts on children. PISA tests, the outcomes and testing numeracy rates have shown Shanghai to be near the top including other Asian countries. It fails to be mentioned that learners in China also start formal education at the age of seven. Even at the age of seven, children to not start primary, they go to Kindergarten which is completely different and separate. Most successful education systems have children starting formal education at the age of six or seven, not four. It is important to consider the real long-term impact we are having on children by going the way that we are; by having children start formal education at such a young age. Lee wants to focus on the areas of what comes before phonics, understand what impact removing some of the formalisation has on children at that age group and how much it alleviates pressure further on in school. Early Years can be improved by improving funding. More staff and more importantly, better trained staff will have an incredible impact. It is important to ensure that adults can attend CPD courses. LIFE/WorkBalance – reduce paperwork. Although some statements and tracking systems are not used; there is an undeniable pressure that if work and learning is not evidenced, it didn’t happen. More trust should be put on the professionals and their judgements who work with children on a day to day basis. BEST MOMENTS “I still have more free time than I did when I was teaching and I'm still healthier and having fewer seizures. It's, it's a little bit of a worry for teachers I suppose” “I think there's a maybe, maybe I'm completely wrong about this, but it's, in my own experience. The minute you start at a school, they kind of have an anticipation that male teachers are not necessarily going to be that keen to be in year one and reception.” “I don't know how much you get that end of the year groups compared to early years, how much you get that just kind of unbridled joy where a child comes in and feels that they're playing, they almost don't even realise that they are learning.” “There's no structure and yet they're still learning everything.” “Working with a child who's three years old, that year they spend with you, taking them up to the age of four is a quarter of their life.” “It's a quarter of that entire experience of the world. 25% of everything they know, has been potentially learned in that one year spell.” “So you can teach children to tell the time by just having a constant focus on what time of the day is at that point. Knowing for themselves, what time they go for break and knowing sort of when the end of the day. So they constantly are aware of the time and telling time. You never then have to do lessons on it, but EYFS is kind of all that.” “But you, often times you can remove the adult from the situation and the learning doesn't stop.” “Giving them a reason to want to learn to read.” “Not one of the resources that we've made so far has looked at just one outcome.” “Confucius said that, 'real wisdom is knowing your own ignorance'” “China starts formal education at age seven as well and it seems to just be completely overlooked.’” “The board, are the ones where children's start their formal education at age six or at age seven.” “Being open to finding new things and being really open minded to changing things and trying out different things I think is really important.” “There's almost a pressure of people feeling that if it's not on paper or if it's not evidenced, then it didn't happen.” “'How would you evidence that?', and I think the evidence is that the child now has learned something.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/ The movement in Scotland I reference without naming - Upstart Scotland: https://www.upstart.scot/   A consultant and blog I recommend for CPD etc - Alistair Bryce-Clegg: https://abcdoes.com/  The longitudinal study I reference - Wylie, Cathy.

It was a pleasure this week to interview Abi Hawkins, Head of Religious Education at Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School in Canterbury. Abi teaches Key Stages 3-5 and she explains that she always wanted to become a teacher and why she especially enjoys teaching subjects she struggled with the most at university, e.g. Philosophy of Language. Abi, who was born in Canterbury and brought up in Whitstable, reveals that she once considered acting, and we discuss the extent to which the teaching profession could be considered a form of acting. Abi belonged to a drama club when she was young and played an orphan in the musical ‘Annie’ at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury. Abi reveals what her earliest memories are, which precipitates a conversation about the way in which holidays require us to navigate the break in our routinized lives. Regarding musical memories Abi recalls how when she was ten years of age she went to Australia and remembers listening to a CD of upbeat cover songs. She has a genuine wish to go back to Adelaide and explains why she would have to manage her expectations if she did so. Abi then tells us why in some respects she feels she missed out on the university experience due to not moving away from home and we discuss the relative merits of staying in the local area vs. going elsewhere. Abi explains why she cried after going to her first Logic seminar at university but which ended up becoming her favourite topic and which she now teaches. In terms of filmic influences, we learn that Abi is not a fan of 3D, and we find out what her all time favourite Christmas movie is (clue: there are Muppets in it!) and why she unexpectedly found herself hating it when she went to a sing-a-long version of this movie and won’t now go to anything interactive. We learn what her favourite cinema experience is and why she enjoys using film in her teaching, e.g. ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ in the context of learning about conscientious objectors. The conversation then moves on to how students have become more involved in politics now than was the case in the past, and Abi talks about how at a primary school where she once taught the pupils had a ‘Brexit Day’. She talks about how people don’t tend to simply vote in the way their parents did any more. We also then talk about the assumptions people make about why we teach religion, and the challenging occasion when she was once asked in a bar to explain what Philosophy is. In the final part of the interview, Abi reveals how she always loved school, especially the pressure that exams give, and we learn why she feels she has fulfilled the dreams she had when she was young and why she is always wanting more. She explains why she is still in touch with her four best friends from school and we find out whether Abi is a looking back or a looking forward type of person. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and Abi Hawkins and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.

Daniel Marcos is the CEO and co-founder of Gazelles Growth Institute as well as a certified coach of Gazelles International Coaches. Daniel has coached individuals all over the world and works with a wide range of businesses from the million-billion dollar range. Today, Daniel and I focus on the 4 key stages of growth in a business. Let's dive in. After being an entrepreneur for the last 16 years, Daniel has realized that the decisions you have to take in each growth stage are completely different and this is where CEOs seem to face the most trouble. CEOs often want to execute the same decision for each stage and they often encounter a substantial amount of pain points with this method along the way. If you want to grow your company, the first bottleneck is you, the leader. Companies need to evolve the leader from an entrepreneur to a CEO and turn their startup into a well-run organization. Daniel defines each stage by the quantity of employees on payroll instead of the amount of sales that are generated. His reasoning for this, he says, is that as the company gets larger, people find it more and more difficult to communicate throughout the organization. The first stage is a startup and everyone is wearing different hats in the company. The most important part during this stage is product development and understanding what it is you are selling and to whom you're selling the product to. Stage two is the small business. The company size ranges between 6-15 employees. The entrepreneur now has to be a leader. Once a leader, he/she has to do two very important things to keep this status – learn how to give directions to your team and delegate tasks. Daniel believes stage two is the hardest stage for the entrepreneur, because both your clients and employees expect more of you. Stage three means you're a leader of leaders. You have between 16-250 employees and now the most critical role is you building up team leaders. You have to develop talent and teach people how to lead others. The problem during stage three is communication, because communication gets broken as the chain of command goes further down. It's almost like you're playing the Telephone Game. At the end of the day, you have to respect the position of your leaders. As an entrepreneur, you get so used to fixing everything, but at this stage you need to give up some control and trust in the people you've trained. You have to begin to shine the spotlight on them instead of you. This is why most CEOs are stuck at stage three and are not able to move on to stage four. To get to stage four, you have to be humble and really let go. Your role is to have a great first layer of executives. If you have a great sales manager, for example, you will never have a sales problem. Though, as Daniel points out, we secretly don't want a great sales manager, because then we know we won't be needed anymore. What does stage four look like? The operation runs flawlessly without you. You leave for vacation and everything is absolutely fine when you come back. The entrepreneur, turned leader, turned leader of leaders - is now an innovator, change catalyst, and chief of culture in the organization. Your duty is to design a culture that's respected all through the organization and to change what's currently not working within the company.   Interview Links: Growth Institute Website More Resources: ScalingUpBusiness.com:  Learn about how growth coaching can help you and and your business see big results.

If you’ve sought out training to help you build your business, or tracked the success of other entrepreneurs, you have firsthand experience of the power webinars have to not only engage and excite an audience, but to convert them to into paying clients. Maybe you’ve even been one of those people who signed up for a webinar to get a little free education, and ended up making a purchasing decision that you were genuinely excited about! So why does the idea of putting on your own webinar have you quaking in your boots? Let me guess... You don’t mind a little grunt work, but you doubt your ability to string together all that technology. You love the idea of delivering content in a highly personal way to your audience, but you hate the idea of a sales pitch at the end. You’ve got a foolproof concept in mind . . .  however, you’re not sure how you’ll pull together an audience since your email list and sales funnel are still a work in progress. Busy entrepreneurs (like you and me) don’t have a SECOND to waste on activities that aren’t directly linked to profit. If you’ve ever tried creating a webinar before, you know that sinking feeling of waiting, as the seconds tick by, for your sales to pick up speed. (Ugh! It’s the worst, isn’t it?) In my experience, I’ve found that four major myths are to blame for a poor conversion rate. I’m going to debunk those myths for you, and show you how to replace them with truly effective practices that will not only reward all your hard work, but have you out of your chair with excitement. Myth #1: Webinars are just a marketing strategy (and not a whole system). What most entrepreneurs think of as “webinars” is really just a small fraction of what they really entail. Most view webinars as just the presentation component. In fact, the presentation constitutes no more than 15% of an entire, well-integrated webinar STRATEGY. A truly effective webinar strategy involves 5 Key Stages (planning, pre, live, post, automated), all of which MUST be executed in perfect harmony in order for cash to change hands at the end of your presentation. In short, a webinar isn’t a single tactic, but an entire system with many moving parts, specific timelines, and delicate levers to pull. My webinar system is so much more than just a set of slides pulled together in a presentation deck. Specifically, my webinar system includes strategic content designed to be precisely aligned with my paid program.  It also includes a list building component, an email marketing plan, a technology strategy, a focus on scarcity and engagement, special Q&A sessions to eliminate objections and so much more. And when everything lines up perfectly, your business grabs hold of an effective, efficient sales machine that acts as the backbone of your business and gives you the opportunity to grow, scale and automate at will. EPISODE FREEBIE Get the Cheat Sheet: "5 Rookie Webinar Mistakes" (And How To Avoid Them) FREE DOWNLOAD Myth # 2: Webinars are a TON of effort and involve too much expensive technology. True. Webinars AREN’T simple. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be relatively easy when met with the right A-Z blueprint that leaves nothing to chance. From pairing together the most affordable/reliable technology to knowing exactly how many email follow-ups to send to maximize conversions, a step-by-step blueprint can take an otherwise COMPLEX strategy and make it attainable for even the most time-starved solopreneur. And for the business owner that possesses such a blueprint, the “complexity” of running a profitable webinar actually becomes a huge competitive advantage, giving them the unique chance to be the FIRST in their space to use webinars effectively. Just to name a few, some of the best webinar platforms (for both live and automated webinars) include GoToWebinar, Google Hangouts, Easy Webinar, Webinar Jam, Stealth Seminar and Evergreen Business Systems. I want to engourage you to check a few out to see what might be a great fit for your webinar plans. And on a final note, YES, executing a webinar strategy requires effort…but you’ve already proven that you’re willing to put in effort--you just need the reassurance of knowing that every bit of energy you put into your business will come back to you tenfold. What you CAN’T afford to do is waste time and energy in perpetual “figure it out” mode. Myth #3 - I’m fine; I learned about webinars a few years ago. While it’s awesome that you got a head start on webinar marketing a few years back, the very same early mover advantage can EASILY become a major detriment to you and your biz if you fail to embrace the MANY factors of success that have changed over the years. Audiences have changed… Attention spans have changed… (Thanks, Netflix.) Technology has changed… Customer buying habits have changed… Presentation practices have changed… (There were a few things you were taught to say on a call a few years ago that are now surefire ways to make your viewers hit self-eject.) And how we go about GETTING people to show up on the call (and buy after the fact) has changed as well. Hint: It’s not enough to just invite your audience to the webinar and hope they show up. There are very specific things you MUST do to not only make sure they show up, but show up in a highly focused and engaged state. (Click here to download my freebie and discover exactly what I do to ensure I always get a strong webinar turnout when I go live on my webinars.) So when you add it all up, there’s very little you can bank on from the tactics of years past if you want to succeed in the shifting paradigm of webinar strategy. Which quickly helps us dispel our next myth… Myth #4 - It’s too late. I already missed the boat on webinars. Sure, you missed the boat on webinars as a tactic… …but there’s always another boat coming! And that next boat is...wait for it... Webinars as a COMPLETE sales funnel. And if you’re reading this post RIGHT NOW, then you’re in a unique position to catch wind of this new strategic approach before anyone else in your niche does, and in doing so, claim your stake in the rich blue ocean ripe with sizeable and scalable profits. So chances are that even if your competitors are already using webinars (the old way), you can gain a competitive advantage by being the FIRST to build a complete webinar funnel based on the proven frameworks, techniques, and strategies that I’m about to share with you. Keep reading . . . now that you know the 4 webinar myths, I've created a DETAILED, free cheat sheet to help you with your first (or next!) webinar . . . My wish for you is to sidestep the countless traps that make most webinars epic disasters, and instead learn how to create a masterpiece. I’ve been doing webinars for over 5 years now and I’ve made MANY mistakes along the way. You don’t need to do the same! I’ve compiled a list of 5 of my biggest webinar mistakes over the years and how to avoid them before your first (or next!) webinar. Click here now to get that list!

No magic wand supplied. When building for or engulfed in competition, it can be easy to forget to do stuff –⁠ and it is not until it comes back and repeatedly bites you do you realise you have forgotten to do something. Behavioural change and behavioural mastery are just the same, when I explain to a client that the reason they hare having consistent issues is because they have fed that action consistently over a period of time –⁠ they are horrified. And although they come to me when things are painful, I explain to them that “pain” will go away if they apply the same diligence to the correct behaviour as they did to the negative.
