Send us a textImagine a school where grades reward collaboration, character, and genuine mastery—not just memorization and speed. In this episode, Dean of Academics Marc Aronson shares how his school, Cheshire Academy, rethought assessment through Grading What Matters, a framework focused on authentic learning, student agency, and mission-aligned outcomes.We explore Final Demonstrations of Learning instead of exams, a Community of Learners model that grades students on contribution and engagement, and a fully open honors pathway where any student can earn honors inside their regular class.Drawing from research by Grant Wiggins and Eric Mazur, Marc explains why performance assessments build deeper learning, why narrative feedback matters more than percentages, and how shifting to mission-based grading builds belonging, confidence, and durable skills.What you'll learn:• How to design authentic assessments & FDOLs• How to grade collaboration and community contribution• Why narrative feedback drives real motivation• Practical steps to begin grading what truly mattersIf grades shape how students see themselves, let them measure what counts: mastery, growth, and contribution.
This week on Adapting, David sits down with Rabbi Mark Wildes, the founder of Manhattan Jewish Experience. Together, the pair explore what it really means to inspire Jewish connection in young adults today. Drawing on insights and Torah from his new book, The Jewish Experience: Discovering the Soul of Jewish Thought and Practice, Rabbi Wildes shares that Jewish education isn't about molding students into something completely new. Rather, it's about how educators can spark the innate pilot light of Judaism, the pintele Yid, that we have inside us. Discover how nurturing that inner spark can transform not only the Jewish learner, but the future of Jewish life itself.

"[When] a lot of men think about prostate exams, they immediately think of the glove going on the hand of the physician, and they immediately clench. But really try to talk with them and discuss with them what some of the benefits are of understanding early detection. Even just having those conversations with their providers so that they understand what the risk and benefits are of having screening. And then educate patients on what a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) actually are—how it happens, what it shows, and what the necessary benefits of those are," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer screening, early detection, and disparities.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode "The recommendations are men [aged] 45 who are at high risk, including African American men and men who have a first-degree relative who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer younger than 65 should go through screening. And men aged 40 at an even higher risk, these are the men that have that one first-degree relative who has had prostate cancer before 65. Screening includes the PSA blood test and a digital exam. Those are the screening recommendations, although they are a little bit controversial." TS 3:42 "You still see PSAs and DREs as the first line because they're easier for primary care providers to perform. ... Those are typically covered by insurance, so they still play that role in screening. But with the advent of MRIs and biomarkers, these have really helped refine that screening process and determine treatment options for our patients. Again, those patients who may be at a bit of a higher risk could go for an MRI or have biomarkers completed. Or if they're on that verge with their Gleason score, instead of doing a biopsy, they may send the patient for an MRI or do biomarkers for that patient. ... These updated technologies put [patients] a little bit more at ease that someone's watching what's going on, and they don't have to have anything invasive done to see where they're at with their staging." TS 4:35 "Disparities in screening access exist based on race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, education, and geography. It's really hard in rural areas to get primary care providers or urologists who can actually see these patients, [and] sometimes in urban areas. So socioeconomic status can affect that, but also where a person lives. African American men with lower incomes and people in rural areas face the greatest barriers to receiving screening. It's also important to encourage anyone with a prostate to be screened and offer gender-neutral settings for patients to feel comfortable." TS 7:50 "I think a lot of men feel like if they have no symptoms, they don't have prostate cancer ... so a lot of patients may put off screening because they feel fine, [they] haven't had any urinary symptoms, it doesn't run in their family. ...With prostate cancer, there usually are not symptoms that a patient's having—they may have some urinary issues or some pain—but it's not very frequent that they have that. So, just making sure our patients understand that even though they're not feeling something, it doesn't mean there's not something else going on there." TS 12:53 "Prostate cancer found at an early age can be very curable, so it's really important for men to have those conversations with their providers about the risk and benefits of screening. And anyone that we can help along the way to be able to have those conversations, I think is a great thing for oncology nurses to do." TS 15:44

In a landmark moment for education and cross-border cooperation, the first-ever all-island apprenticeship programme has been launched, marking a new chapter in how Ireland and Northern Ireland develop talent for the future. The Accounting Technologist Apprenticeship, developed by ATI and delivered jointly by Technological University of the Shannon and The Open University in Northern Ireland, will equip learners with cutting-edge skills in digital finance and sustainability, responding to the evolving demands of the sector. Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Simon Harris, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless TD, Minister for the Economy in Northern Ireland Dr Caoimhe Archibald, Minister of State Marian Harkin, and Gillian Doherty, COO of ATI, today officially launched the programme. Developed by ATI, the Certified Accounting Technologist's new role bridges the gap between the traditional Accounting Technician and a fully qualified accountant. The apprenticeship was created in response to the disruptive impact of AI and emerging sustainability reporting requirements. Learners will gain the skills needed to support finance teams in transitioning to digital and sustainable economic models, positioning them to add strategic value in a rapidly evolving sector. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said, "The launch of the new all-island Accounting Technologist Apprenticeship is a landmark in our shared approach to skills, opportunity and economic development. It reflects our commitment to working together across this island to prepare people for the future economy and to ensure that talent and innovation can thrive in every community. This apprenticeship is a strong example of what we can achieve through practical cooperation and shared ambition." Tánaiste Simon Harris added, "By investing in apprenticeships like this, we are showing that opportunity should know no borders and that talent can be nurtured through many different pathways. This all-island programme is a powerful example of what we can achieve through partnership, innovation and a shared commitment to preparing people for the future world of work. The Certified Accounting Technologist is an entirely new occupation, and Ireland is excited for the opportunities that it will create." Minister Lawless said: "The launch of the first apprenticeship delivered in both Ireland and Northern Ireland is a landmark achievement in our shared ambition to build a future-ready workforce across the island. It strengthens economic cooperation and competitiveness on a North-South basis and reflects the kind of practical collaboration that drives long-term prosperity. "In today's global knowledge economy, talent and ideas are our most valuable resources, and our people are our greatest natural asset. The Certified Accounting Technologist will play a vital role in linking traditional accounting and corporate reporting with cutting-edge areas such as sustainability, AI and analytics, equipping learners with the skills to lead in a rapidly evolving sector. "This is more than an apprenticeship. It is a blueprint for how we grow talent, foster innovation, and shape the future of work on an all-island basis. "I commend all partners for their vision and collaboration in delivering an apprenticeship that embodies innovation, inclusion and strategic foresight. I look forward to seeing this programme as a foundation for deeper cooperation on skills and talent development across our island." Minister Archibald said: "I am committed to expanding apprenticeship opportunities across the island, fostering cross-border collaboration and shared growth. "The new All-Island Accounting Technologist Apprenticeship is a major step forward. It enhances our curriculum and prepares learners for the evolving demands of the accounting profession. "This programme directly addresses the rise of artificial intelligence and the growing need for sustainability reporting - skills ...
