Pembelajar Hebat atau Great Learner bukanlah sekadar individu yang memiliki kapasitas intelektual tinggi, melainkan seseorang yang memiliki "learnership"—kemahiran untuk mengelola proses belajarnya secara sadar dan sengaja. Berdasarkan konsep arketipe "Brian" dalam buku Great Learners by Design, pembelajar hebat dicirikan oleh integrasi antara keterampilan (skill), kemauan (will), dan motivasi (thrill). Mereka bukan pembelajar pasif yang sekadar mengikuti instruksi, melainkan individu yang mampu menjadi "guru bagi dirinya sendiri," yang memahami kapan harus fokus pada penguasaan fakta dasar dan kapan harus menyelami hubungan antar-ide yang lebih kompleks. Implementasi untuk menjadi pembelajar hebat dilakukan melalui pemahaman terhadap siklus pembelajaran kognitif yang terdiri dari tahap permukaan (surface), mendalam (deep), dan transfer. Tahap pertama dimulai dengan akuisisi dan konsolidasi fakta menggunakan strategi seperti ringkasan dan practice testing. Setelah pondasi kuat, pembelajar harus beralih ke tahap mendalam untuk menghubungkan konsep-konsep tersebut melalui strategi seperti self-verbalization dan pencarian pola. Puncaknya adalah kemampuan transfer, di mana pembelajar secara aktif mencari persamaan dan perbedaan untuk menerapkan pemahamannya ke dalam konteks baru yang asing, sehingga pengetahuan tidak berhenti pada teori semata. Dalam konteks pekerjaan dan keseharian, menjadi pembelajar hebat berarti menerapkan "kesengajaan" (intentionality) dalam setiap aktivitas. Hal ini diwujudkan dengan membangun budaya "manajemen kesalahan," di mana kekeliruan dipandang sebagai peluang belajar yang berharga, bukan kegagalan yang memalukan. Secara praktis, seseorang harus secara nosy atau "ingin tahu" mencari kejelasan (seeking clarity) mengenai kriteria keberhasilan dari setiap tugas yang dihadapi. Dengan terus mengevaluasi dampak dari strategi belajar yang digunakan dan menyesuaikan tindakan berdasarkan umpan balik, seorang pembelajar hebat memastikan bahwa setiap pengalaman berkontribusi pada pertumbuhan kapasitas yang berkelanjutan dan adaptif.

In part four of the Learning Theory series here on the JuvoHub Podcast, host Jonathan Saar explores how self-determination theory helps educators understand what truly motivates adult learners—especially when training feels repetitive, compliance-driven, or routine. By breaking down the core principles of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, this episode shines a light on how learning designers can build training that feels meaningful, personalized, and engaging. This discussion offers insight into designing training programs that motivate beyond completion and encourages educators to reflect on how they create relevance, connection, and confidence in every lesson. TLDR: This episode explains how self-determination theory can help instructors make training more meaningful, even when topics repeat year after year. Key Takeaways 00:00 – Why Motivation Matters 00:40 – When Training Feels Repetitive 01:20 – What Self-Determination Theory Is 02:40 – Autonomy, Competence & Relatedness 03:25 – Seeing Yourself in the Scenario 04:30 – Understanding the Learner's Mindset 05:20 – Making Compliance Meaningful 06:05 – Do Rewards Help or Hurt? 06:55 – Final Takeaways and Resources Why Self-Determination Theory Still Matters for Today's Educators As training needs grow more complex and learners face repeated compliance requirements, understanding what drives motivation becomes essential. Self-determination theory offers a practical lens for creating training that feels relevant, empowering, and connected—whether the audience is new to the topic or revisiting it annually. As you build programs for the year ahead, consider how autonomy, competence, and relatedness can elevate every learning experience and help your learners stay engaged long after completion.

This episode explores how Roberto Vargas, Managing Director of IT and Data Systems at Distinctive Schools, uses technology, data, and AI to better serve students while fiercely protecting their privacy. He shares his journey from Chicago Public Schools student to building tech and network data leader, emphasizing the often-invisible infrastructure and cybersecurity work that keeps modern schools running. The conversation dives into how his team evaluates edtech vendors for student data protection, builds a human-centered AI playbook with real student and staff voice, and pilots AI-powered learner profiles in Notebook LM to give teachers instant, holistic insight into each child. Throughout, Roberto stresses that AI is here to stay, that students are already “AI natives,” and that educators must stay ahead while grounding everything in relationships and deep knowledge of students.

In this episode, I chat with Suzy Evans and Dr. Shane Saeed about how learner agency, metacognition, and assessment can work together rather than be siloed or disconnected. We explored what the science of learning tells us about helping students take more ownership of their thinking and how teachers can design routines that make assessment something they do with students, not to them. Shane and Susie shared concrete strategies they use in classrooms across their district, along with insights from hosting their popular podcast, Vrainwaves. They also talked about what it looks like to seek balance while juggling so many roles in education. This episode brings the pieces together for anyone trying to make their practice feel more connected and purposeful.

In this episode of C3, hosts Courtney Groskin and Sandy Heiser welcome Joy De Los Santos, a special education coach with over 20 years of experience who now co-leads an instructional coaching team supporting nine districts. Joy discusses her journey into coaching, practical strategies for overwhelmed teachers—including prioritizing high-impact supports and using visuals like visual schedules—and the importance of using data to guide decisions and build common ground among teams. The conversation highlights what true inclusion looks like (access, engagement, and respectful peer interaction), leadership coaching to build capacity, and real coaching wins that helped teachers feel empowered and improved student outcomes.     In this episode: Courtney and Sandy share highlights from facilitating Day 5 of the Cognitive Coaching Foundation Seminar, celebrating the energy and dedication of their 35-person cohort. They discuss the transformative power of coaching conversations, including a moment where a 20-minute planning conversation left a participant feeling empowered and energized. Featured Guest: Joy de los Santos Joy brings over 20 years of experience in special education, working with students from early childhood through high school. She now co-leads an instructional coaching team across nine districts, supporting educators in building inclusive and supportive classrooms for students with disabilities. Key Takeaways from Joy: Her journey into special education coaching grew from supporting teachers and students while reducing high turnover rates and increasing inclusive practices. When teachers feel overwhelmed by IEP requirements or diverse learner needs, Joy recommends strategies that support multiple students across contexts to maximize impact with sustainable effort. Collaboration and alignment are essential: she emphasizes using data as a neutral tool to guide team decisions and resolve differing perspectives. For Joy, a truly inclusive classroom means all students have access, engagement, and respect for differences, not just physical placement in the classroom. Memorable coaching impact: supporting a veteran special education teacher to feel confident and effective with a challenging student population—demonstrating the power of coaching for teachers at any career stage. Rapid-Fire Tips from Joy: One strategy every coach should have: Visual supports, especially visual schedules, to support student independence and classroom management. Advice for new teachers: Feeling unsure is normal. Asking for help is a sign of strength, and no one has all the answers—especially early in your career.

Send us a textIn this episode of Practical Access, Lisa Dieker and Rebecca Hines focus on providing science and math tools for teachers working with students of all abilities. They highlight the importance of making abstract concepts like data and computation more engaging and accessible. The discussion features practical, research-backed resources such as the PhET simulations, which have been federally funded and classroom tested for years. The episode is filled with tangible recommendations to help educators bring energy, clarity, and creativity into STEM instruction. Key insights include:Use of Interactive Tools: Teachers can boost student engagement by integrating interactive digital platforms like PhET simulations to make science and math more visual and hands on.Accessibility through Flexibility: Flexibility in how content is delivered allows students to access science and math in ways that fit their learning style and pace.Emphasizing Conceptual Understanding: Focus should be placed on helping students grasp the why behind formulas and data rather than just memorizing steps or vocabulary.Positive Framing Matters: Teachers should model confidence and curiosity in STEM content. Avoid self limiting statements like I am not a math person in front of students.Start with What Works: Tap into free and research validated tools already available rather than reinventing the wheel. Resources that are time tested can save teachers energy and improve outcomes.We love to hear from our listeners! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Designing truly inclusive learning experiences requires more than good intentions—it demands practical knowledge of accessibility principles that benefit every learner. Whether you're creating content for higher education, corporate training, or digital platforms, accessibility transforms from a technical requirement into a powerful tool for equity when approached with intention and care.We dive into six actionable strategies you can implement immediately: adding meaningful alt text to images, incorporating captions and transcripts for all video content, ensuring proper color contrast, structuring documents with clear headings and formatting, providing multiple engagement options, and using accessibility testing tools to catch issues early. Each strategy comes with practical examples for both educational and corporate settings, demonstrating how accessibility enhances learning for everyone involved. Take the first step toward more inclusive design by choosing just one strategy to implement in your next project, then build from there. Your small changes today create better learning experiences for all your learners tomorrow—and that's what designing with love truly means.

Magnetic Memory Setting up outrageous vivid imagery. SpanishMy Spanish JourneyWelcome back to The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! I'm your host, Grandpa Bill. Now, for the last three years, you've known me as a student of the Magnetic Memory Method—a memory system that's a true holistic health practice for the mind. Well, I've decided to tackle another item on my bucket list: learning to speak Spanish, and I'm doing it with one of my newest MMM workbooks!The Technique: The MMM emphasizes creating Magnetic Imagery—images that are huge, brightly colored, sensually rich, and often humorous or even shocking—to represent the foreign word's sound and meaning. For the Spanish word 'perro' (dog), I might imagine a pirate (perr-o) with a wooden leg dancing on the kitchen table of my Memory Palace.The Connection: This over-the-top visualization creates emotional buy-in for the Motivational Engager ('Why'). The sheer absurdity and personal creation of the image answer the internal question: Why will I remember this? Because the image is so uniquely mine and so emotionally engaging, my brain registers it as immediately important and worthy of retention.The 'How' Learner needs to know the process and the scientific justification—the mechanism of action.The Technique: My MMM workbook teaches Elaborative Encoding, which means linking the new Spanish word's sound and meaning to existing knowledge in a step-by-step, functional process. It's not magic; it's a specific cognitive process of association. It also involves Active Recall and Recall Rehearsal—systematic, planned mental walks through the Memory Palace.The Connection: This appeals directly to the Systematic Explorer ('How'). The 'How' learner is satisfied knowing how the memory works: I encode (link the image), and I retrieve (walk the Memory Palace route). The structured, repeatable nature of the rehearsal method provides the functional blueprint they crave for confidence.The 'What to Do' Learner requires concrete, executable tasks—a checklist for success.The Technique: The MMM includes The Big Five of Language Learning: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, and Memorization (using the Memory Palace). My workbook tells me to start by writing out the first 10 words, then speaking them out loud, then listening to their pronunciation, and finally memorizing them.The Connection: This multi-sensory, step-by-step list is the Pragmatic Implementer's ('What to Do') dream. They are not waiting for the perfect moment; they have an immediate, simple sequence of tasks to execute. This is their quick-start guide to getting the ball rolling right now.My journey into Spanish is more than just language learning; it's a commitment to personal mental wellness and proving that the brain is capable of massive growth at any age. By understanding and catering to the 'What,' 'Why,' 'How,' and 'What to Do' impulses—both in the MMM and in any holistic health pursuit—you give yourself the best possible chance for lasting success.Find your impulse, and then apply the right technique. That is how your healing begins with understanding.#MagneticMemoryMethod,#GrandpaBill,#LearningSpanish,#MemoryPalace,#ElaborativeEncoding,#BucketList,#LanguageLearning,#SeniorWellness,#CognitiveHealth,#HolisticLearning,You can check out this video if you want to see an example of applying these memory techniques to language learning: Memory Palace Foreign Language Hacks.1.

What if the true measure of school success isn't just test scores—but the full humanity and future readiness of every learner?On this episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Dr. Tonia Causey-Bush, a transformational instructional leader and Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services at Banning Unified School District in California. Renowned for her vision, humility, and unapologetic commitment to equity, Dr. Causey-Bush is helping to redesign what student success looks like—grounded in community, innovation, and future-ready learning.Together, Dr. Conner and Dr. Causey-Bush explore how portrait models—like Banning's “Portrait of a Learner”—aren't just glossy graphics. They're living blueprints for systems change, guiding how leadership development, instructional coherence, and human-centered learning come alive in every classroom. Dr. Causey-Bush shares how Banning has evolved their competencies over time, deeply aligning them with teachers, students, and community voices—and why this work must outlast any one leader.They also take on the disruptive realities of AI, its rapid emergence into K-12 systems, and how equity-minded leaders can embrace innovation without losing sight of ethical use, critical thinking, and authentic student agency. Most powerfully, Dr. Causey-Bush reminds us that sustaining innovation begins with humility—and that true leadership means being a perpetual student of the profession.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why environment matters: Shaping classrooms and systems with the right emotional and academic “soil” for students to grow.How systemic succession builds futures: Creating district-wide frameworks that evolve with time and leadership.Human-centered AI: Embracing innovation through an equity lens without losing the essence of critical thinking.Data as dialogue: Using assessment not as punishment but as a window into student needs and instructional alignment.Instructional leadership at all levels: Shifting mindset so every educator—especially teachers—is an instructional leader.Dr. Causey-Bush's reflections are a powerful call to action: to stay flexible in our approaches, credible in our work, and always humble in the face of what students truly need. Through her leadership and Dr. Conner's mission-driven platform, this conversation urges us to reimagine systems that don't just serve some, but inspire all.Subscribe and share to continue driving the future of education for all.

The number of fines issued to learner drivers in Kerry has dropped over a twelve-month period. Jerry spoke to Fianna Fáil councillor for the Kenmare Municipal District Tommy Cahill, who obtained data which shows that nationally, there has been a reduction in fixed charge notices issued to learner drivers.

Join us for a transformative conversation with Helene Alalouf, an instructional coach with 32 years of classroom experience and professor at Touro University, as she introduces the Learner Variability Navigator (LVN)—a powerful, free open-source tool from Digital Promise that's changing how teachers approach differentiated instruction. Helene shares her pivotal moment when a principal challenged her "teaching to the middle" approach, revealing a truth every educator needs to hear: there is no average learner. This realization launched her journey toward data-informed instruction that serves all students without requiring 30 individual lesson plans or relying on debunked learning styles theories. Discover how the LVN provides over 100 research-backed strategies, each complete with descriptive overviews, classroom videos, implementation tips, EdTech examples, and related strategies. Learn how to create personal workspaces for instructional planning and explore examples from other educators focusing on SEL support, unit planning, and more. Helene reveals how implementing just two of Marzano's nine instructional strategies with fidelity, summarizing and note-taking with graphic organizers, and cooperative learning with discussion protocols and project-based learning, helped her students excel on standards-based tests while developing confidence and transferable skills. Explore the four comprehensive domains the LVN addresses: student background (including adverse experiences, language, socioeconomic status, and more), social-emotional learning (emotion, mindset, motivation, CASEL-5 competencies, stereotype threat), cognition (attention, memory, metacognition, cognitive flexibility), and content-specific factors for literacy or mathematics. Get Helene's practical six-step process for implementing the LVN: registering for your free account, creating workspaces, selecting learner models, identifying factors affecting your class profile, choosing appropriate strategies, and accessing resources during planning. She emphasizes starting small—selecting just a few factors and strategies to implement reflectively rather than attempting everything at once. Perfect for classroom teachers, instructional coaches, curriculum coordinators, and administrators seeking evidence-based approaches to differentiated instruction. This episode will transform how you think about lesson design and student variability. Ready to move beyond the bell curve and meet every student where they are? This episode provides the framework and tools you need.

Discover how to unlock your capacity to learn anything and break free from limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.You'll learn why combining a growth mindset with the right approach to stress creates the foundation for lasting change in every area of your life. Trevor Ragan from The Learner Lab shares the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, the three building blocks for developing a growth mindset, and the Pygmalion Effect, which shows how our beliefs about others can become reality. Learn the powerful equation for reframing discomfort, why the learner identity beats the knower identity, and how exposure to challenges is a trainable skill that transfers across all domains. 

3 minutes of your time to answer 5 questions will help us to serve you better. https://forms.office.com/r/1G564EGQkn Description Does supporting your teachers look overwhelming to you? You're not alone. Caring for and nurturing teachers is not easy. Each teacher represents many relationships and responsibilities. Your teacher's jobs matter. And they matter every day. That's why teaching is hard. And why it's hard to care for teachers. There is no autopilot at school. Anthony Hurst, who is a school representative for Christian Light, addresses this reality with the experience of both a teacher and administrator. He also understands the perspective of a school board. There's lots of combined talking to admin and school boards here. As you hear Anthony address school board members, ask yourself, “What is my place in cultivating a healthy principle to school board and staff to school board relationship?” In short, even for schools that have on-site principles or administrators, the presence of the school board is essential to providing a healthy support network for teachers. Teachers can't do it alone. Administrators can't do it alone. It takes all of us trying to understand each others' perspectives and working together to welcome each others' presence. This takes an inviting attitude, a strategic plan, and lots of patient dedication to make this happen. And Anthony has lots of ideas to get you started Take heart, and may this talk strengthen you for your good work.   Links   Links This recording was first published on The Dock as “Equipping and Supporting Your Teachers:” https://thedockforlearning.org/lecture/equipping-and-supporting-your-teachers/ More recordings from CASBI 2018: https://thedockforlearning.org/series/casbi/casbi-2018/ Episode 8: https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/pkmyqvkteavwti3f/2024-12-03_Mixdownbby87.mp3 The Thread That Runs So True by Jesse Stuart: https://a.co/d/5EeEO4N The Seven Laws of the Learner by Bruce Wilkinson: https://a.co/d/j7mJBaW The Seven Laws of the Teacher by Howard G.

“I think that this is an area that is exploding. Working with drug development, I see new agents all the time, with unique targets I've never heard about, with targets I have heard about used in a different way. So, I really think we're going to see more and more bispecifics. A lot of these drugs are used second line, third line, fourth line. I would not be surprised if they moved up in treatment, especially as we learn safer ways to give these drugs,” ONS member Moe Schwartz, PharmD, BCOP, FHOP, professor of pharmacy practice at the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy at the University of Cincinnati, OH, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about bispecific antibodies.  Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by October 3, 2026.

That was granted accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome–negative relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a bispecific that targets CD19-expressing tumor cells and CD3 on T cells. It's the original bispecific T-cell engager and is often called a ‘BiTE.'” TS 2:11 “The term ‘bispecific' means that this is an artificial protein that's developed to hit two different antigens simultaneously. They can be two different epitopes on the same antigen. They can be an antigen on a cancer cell and CD3 on a T cell that kind of recruits the T cell to the cancer. So, there are different types [of bispecific antibodies]. The subtype that we often talk about are bispecific T-cell engagers, which are those bispecifics that do target the T cell. And currently, the target on the T cell that's utilized is the CD3 molecule. That's not the only one that will be used in the future because there's a lot of work being done on other types of T-cell engagers.” TS 4:21 “The targets for lymphoma are CD20. Those are bispecific T-cell engagers that hit CD20 on the lymphoma cell, as well as CD3 on a T cell. ... In myeloma, we have two different targets that have been utilized. One is BCMA or B-cell maturation antigen. That sits on the surface of myeloma cells and on some healthy B cells. ... There's also a target used in myeloma that's called GPRC5D, which stands for G protein–coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D. ... In small cell lung cancer, there's delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3); it's part of the NOTCH pathway. ... And then this year, we've had a couple agents come out that target HER2.” TS 6:52 “[Toxicities] are very dependent on what your target is. ... The bispecific T-cell engager that's used in myeloma that targets the GPRC5D is also expressed on tissues that produce hard keratin like hair follicles and actually, within the tongue. So the toxicities that we see with that agent are something you wouldn't expect to see if you were using a myeloma agent. You see nail and skin issues. You see taste problems. So it's very specific about the target, which says to me, that every time a new one of these agents comes out, I have to learn about the target that helps me learn about the toxicity. I find that fascinating and really appreciate that.” TS 16:19 “Cytokine release syndrome has been one of the areas that drug development has really focused on to see how they can help mitigate the severity [of it]. ... [One of] the strategies that has been incorporated and studied in clinical trials is the step-up dosing scheme. [It's] where you give initial small doses and over time, increase the dose to the dose you're going to continue with. Usually, monitoring in the hospital is required by the FDA approval for anywhere from 28–48 hours for the first couple of doses. And that's a real common strategy that you'll see. Premedication with H2 blockers, H1 blockers, sometimes steroids. These are also things that are incorporated within the approvals of these drugs and are important to look at.” TS 20:53

This episode is packed with real, practical strategies for getting (and staying) organized, especially for families homeschooling neurodivergent kids or anyone who simply bristles at traditional organization systems. We all know the struggle: out of sight = out of mind. Those neat folders and tucked-away systems might work for some, but for kids (and parents!) with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or asynchronous learning styles, they often fizzle by October. Instead, we're embracing OPEN, VISIBLE, and EASY-TO-ACCESS systems that truly work for the way our brains (and our kids' brains) are wired.   Key Takeaways: Out of Sight = Out of Mind: Traditional closed binders and folders often fail neurodivergent kids. Use open, visible storage—clear bins, open baskets, or carts—so materials stay in sight and top-of-mind. Keep Systems Simple: Limit organizational systems to a maximum two-step process (touch and use). Reduce friction by making materials immediately accessible—no complex filing or multiple steps required. Celebrate Progress Visibly: Provide immediate, tangible feedback through “done” bins, photo portfolios, or visible finished work. Watching their progress accumulate gives neurodivergent learners needed motivation and dopamine hits.   If staying organized feels impossible, let yourself off the hook—this episode is full of practical, compassionate advice and encouragement. Grab a coffee, listen in, and let's get ready for a smoother homeschool year together.   Looking for More Support?

In this episode of The Stellar Teacher Podcast, I dive into a critical topic for upper elementary classrooms: supporting multilingual learners (MLLs). With the help of experts Dr. Jana Echevarría and Dr. Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez, we explore why the term “multilingual learner” is replacing “English language learner,” how to challenge common misconceptions, and why it's so important to recognize the linguistic assets students bring to our classrooms. You'll gain a clear understanding of the difference between everyday language and academic language, and why focusing on both is essential for our students' success.We also tackle the myth that students need to fully master English before they can access grade-level content. I talk with Jana and Jeanette about research showing that, with intentional support and meaningful instruction, MLLs can engage with the same literacy and content skills as their peers. From understanding the role of academic language as a “gate opener” to strategies for integrating language objectives into everyday lessons, this episode is full of practical ideas you can bring right into your classroom.Finally, the conversation turns to actionable strategies teachers can implement immediately. From leveraging students' background experiences to integrating listening, speaking, reading, and writing into content lessons, Jana and Jeanette highlight simple yet powerful ways to support language development across disciplines. This episode is packed with guidance to help you feel confident, intentional, and empowered to meet the needs of multilingual learners—reminding us all that these students are learners just like everyone else.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.
