Late last year, the 2024 recipients of the Prime Minister's Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching were announced. The national Prizes recognise and celebrate the role primary and secondary educators play in inspiring and encouraging students to take up an interest and consider careers in STEM. So for this episode of School Improvement, we had the pleasure of speaking with Alice Leung from Concord High School in New South Wales and Daniel Edwards from Montello Primary School in Tasmania about the work they've been recognised for with this Prize. If Daniel Edwards' name sounds familiar to you, it might be because we spoke with Daniel early last year all about the value of teaching STEM as a subject. Our conversation with Daniel shares some other great insights, such as some favourite learning activities to run in the classroom. We also asked Alice to share some of her favourite lesson activities, and we're sure they might be ones you might like to consider working into your lesson planning this year if you're a secondary science teacher.

Join me and the powerhouse Leanne Hughes as we uncover the common fears that hold people back from pursuing their goals, particularly the fear of failure. Leanne shares her insights on how the best way to test ideas is by putting them into the world and learning from the experience. We also discuss her challenges when transitioning from the corporate world to running her own business, including dealing with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Leanne offers valuable advice on effective workshop facilitation, including how to re-engage a disengaged audience and the importance of setting clear expectations.

This week I was joined by my long-time friend and colleague Jodine Buydens (pictured here with her mare Breeze) for a beautiful conversation on the horses who have shaped her life and given her the tools to be able to help humans receive the many teachings of their own equines, or, for some folks, encounter horse wisdom for the first time. We talked about what it can look and feel like to have soul contracts with our horses, and how those lessons and missions differ depending on each unique horse. Jodine also shared how she's learned to tune into and differentiate between her own nervous system and that of the horses and people she works with, and how this skill has been integral to being able to meet any situation with what it needs.  I hope after listening to our chat that you walk away with a renewed appreciation for your equine relationships, and perhaps a fresh perspectives on the impact knowing one another has had too.  Jodine Buydens is an Equine Behaviour Specialist, author of If Your Horse Could Talk, and Pro-EFW Dual Certified Equine Professional, Learning Professional and Mentor. A lifelong horsewoman, she has dedicated her career to empowering and improving the lives of horses and humans through education, communication, and the depth of connection found through her teachings.

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by Patricia Kong in today's episode. Patricia is the Product Owner, Enterprise Agility, and Learning Enablement for Scrum.Org.   In this episode, Dan and Patricia are exploring a new training class Scrum is offering called Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills Training which is directed not just to Scrum Masters but for all levels including all leaders and Team members too.   Key Takeaways What is Learning Enablement? It is the place to improve your profile and skills by learning from the experiences of the individuals who are actually doing the work. Learning enablement is directed at people who are really looking to develop people and Teams, specifically improving some of their own skills so they can help others. What is the Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills Training about? Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills is an interactive course designed to help Scrum practitioners develop a facilitator's mindset and proficiency in facilitation skills, and learn when and how to select effective techniques for various circumstances. This class takes all real-life scenarios to help Scrum Masters facilitate the solutions that Teams need to get to agreements. This course includes the five principles for facilitation. The target of this course is for individuals on a Scrum Team but it could be great also for people in management roles. The training takes one day (equivalent to 8 hours) which includes some in-person and some virtual experiences. The matter of meetings... Most leaders think their meetings are great (when they are not). The purpose of the meeting needs to be clear, and the meeting should be avoided if the content could be in an email or a video. Facilitation skills are useful when nobody is providing feedback or they don't even show up to the meeting. Conflict isn't bad! If you are in a creative space, there will be conflict, since different members will come up with different ideas.   Mentioned in this Episode: Scrum.Org Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills™   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

During today's podcast, I speak with Leanne Hughes, international facilitator, speaker and podcaster about how she practices staying centered when facilitating. Leanne shares so many facilitation tips on how to manage nerves and manage energy levels when holding space for groups. She shares that most of the time, when we get nervous it is because we are trying to convince ourselves that we are worthy. However, all we need to do is get enough experience under our belt to work with self-doubt. Journaling and movement can also be a powerful tools to help reframe the internal dialogue.

In dieser Woche geht es hier im NOW MOM Podcast um das Thema Selbstcoaching. Ich erläutere dir, was das ist, und warum es für dich als Working Mom relevant sein kann. Die Checkliste mit den Selbstcoaching-Fragen bekommst du kostenlos im NOW MOM Insider-Bereich. Außerdem verrate ich dir, welche Fragen ich mir ganz regelmäßig stelle. Das Feld der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung ist endlos und als Learning Professional setze ich mich immer wieder mit neuen Trends und etablierten Tools auseinander. So manches Mal denke ich aber auch. Oh Gott, wann soll ich das denn jetzt auch noch machen? Denn man kann auch seine ganze Zeit in Selbstoptimierung stecken und dabei sein eigenes Leben verpassen. Deshalb ganz am Anfang hier der aus meiner Sicht wichtigste Hinweis: Du bist wichtig! Deine Gedanken und Gefühle sind wichtig! Selbstoptimierung ist kein Selbstzweck sondern soll zu mehr Zufriedenheit und einem guten Leben für dich als Working Mom führen. Als Führungskraft und Verantwortliche für Personalentwicklung in einem großen Unternehmen habe ich mich schon vor einigen Jahren mit dem Thema Selbstführung beschäftigt. So richtig relevant wurde das Thema für mich persönlich aber erst als ich die Herausforderung hatte Familie und Beruf gut unter einen Hut zu bringen und mich selbst dabei nicht zu vergessen. Vereinbarkeit also, oder von Überleben zu bewusst Leben. Wenn du dir jetzt denkst: Oh Gott, mein Tag ist so voll, wenn die jetzt mit noch einem to do oben drauf ankommt, dann kann sie gleich wieder verschwinden, dann bleib noch kurz dran, denn ich habe hier verschiedene Varianten für dich, und selbst die Quick and Dirty Version kann ungemein weiterhelfen um dein eigenes Leben positiv zu gestalten. Lade dir die Checkliste im Insider-Bereich runter! Be happy, be now - Sei ein NOW MOM Empowerment für Working Moms!
