Join us for an enlightening episode of EDVIEW360 Realizing the Promise of Reading Science by Staying the Course, where we bring together two pivotal figures in literacy education, Dr. Reid Lyon and Dr. Louisa Moats. These nationally recognized literacy experts share their invaluable insights about teaching children to read, addressing the intricate balance between what we know and what we practice. They'll offer their views on progress in the field, and what else needs to happen to ensure widespread implementation of informed teaching that will lead to lasting gains for all students. During this compelling conversation, Dr. Lyon and Dr. Moats reflect on the progress made in understanding the science of reading, the barriers that still exist in translating replicatedscientific findings into practice, and the solutions required to overcome these barriers. They delve into the complexities of decision-making in education, emphasizing the need for informed, evidence-based practices. Despite significant advancements, they acknowledge the ongoing gap in teacher knowledge and training, calling for a clinical model that fosters mentorship, collaboration, and feedback based on the development and implementation of a common professional language.Listeners will gain an understanding of Dr. Lyon's “10 Maxims” of practice derived from research as well as the basis for Dr. Moats's “speech to print” approach to instruction. The discussion will also highlight successful programs and initiatives that are paving the way for a brighter future in literacy education.This episode is a must-listen for educators, administrators, and anyone passionate about closing the gap between literacy research and practice. Tune in to be inspired and equipped with actionable strategies to advance literacy and give every child the confidence and right to read.
This February during Black History Month I've been writing about the discovery, history, and my subsequent impressions of a scrapbook featuring the life and career of a mid-20th Century Afro-American musician and singer Lawrence "Hank" Hazlett who played with a swing Jazz quartet The Cats and the Fiddle from Chicago and then with his own Hank Hazlett Trio out of Minneapolis. In the scrapbook this creased and folded sheet of 6 numbered inspirational quotes was pasted on a page. They must have been meaningful to him, so I composed some music and read the quotes as a spoken word with music piece this month. The quotes are from (in order) M. B. Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Lloyd C. Douglas, Helen Keller, Herbert Kaufman, and Ambrose Bierce. The Parlando Project combines various words (usually literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 800 of these combinations, and you can hear any of them and read about our experiences with the pieces at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org

How do we imply things that others can infer? How do we create implicatures? We discuss the Gricean Maxims of quality, quantity, relation, and manner.
Life depends on learning. We spend decades in school acquiring an education. We take pride in mastering a craft, or a sport, or a game. The things we do in our careers or even just for fun are enjoyed to a large extent because we feel we are capable of getting better at them. We yearn for mastery. But learning can be elusive. We may spend hours studying and still not do well on an exam. Improvement can be fickle - if it comes at all. Sometimes we improve effortlessly, and other times it can be a slog. Many of us can spend years hitting a tennis ball, playing chess, or working at our jobs, and not reliably get better at any of them. Why is that and more importantly, what can be done? In Scott Young's new book, Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery, he explores the science of skill acquisition, illustrating the basic principles that can help us get better at the things that matter most. Scott was a prior guest on the show in episode 37 when we discussed his Wall Street Journal bestseller Ultralearning. He is also a podcast host and, a computer programmer. Since 2006, he has published weekly essays to help people learn and think better. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Pocket, and Business Insider, on the BBC, and at TEDx. While he doesn't promise to have all the answers, he does give us a good place to start. Scott is a wellspring of knowledge about learning and provides a way for us all to be able to live our lives more fully.

Daniel Kang, VP of finance at Mercury, joins CJ for a dive deep into the nuances of annual planning. Dan talks about why if annual planning feels like a finance exercise, it is destined to fail and will feel like pulling teeth. He describes how to use this exercise to lead a broader strategic discussion about a company's direction for a process that is more impactful and less tedious. Dan also highlights that if you're searching for big ideas during the annual planning process, there may be underlying issues with your company's roadmap or innovation processes. He touches on the idea that planning tends to expand to fit the time allotted, explains why most companies spend too much time on it, and warns against the trap of false productivity. The conversation delves into how the planning process evolves with a company's growth, including how to calibrate for each stage and ensure plans are actionable. Throughout the episode, Dan provides frameworks to streamline annual planning for a successful outcome.If you're looking for an ERP head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get a customized KPI checklist.—SPONSORS:Mercury is the fintech ambitious companies use for banking and all their financial workflows.

Welcome to episode #948 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #948. Scott Young is the kind of person who doesn't just ask, “How do I get better at this?” He asks, “How do we really learn anything?” That question led him on some fascinating paths - like the time he decided to tackle MIT's computer science curriculum without ever setting foot in a classroom. No big deal, right? It's this relentless curiosity that drives Scott's work, and he's made it his mission to break down the mystery behind learning and mastery. In this conversation, Scott digs into his latest book, Get Better at Anything - 12 Maxims for Mastery. This isn't your standard “how-to” guide. Scott's approach is both simple and profound: learning doesn't have to feel like you're banging your head against a wall. He argues that three things really matter when it comes to leveling up - seeing how others do it, putting in the right kind of practice, and getting feedback that's actually useful. If you nail these three, progress follows. It's that simple… but, of course, the devil is in the details. Scott's no stranger to experimentation. From his MIT Challenge to learning four languages in a year during his Year Without English project, he's someone who lives what he preaches. He's constantly pushing the limits of what's possible with learning, and his insights into how we can accelerate our progress - whether at work, in our personal lives, or even in the smallest tasks—are both practical and inspiring. We also touch on some big questions, like how AI might change the way we learn and work. Is AI the future of education? Scott's got a way of making the complex simple, and our chat is packed with insights that make you rethink how you approach learning. If you've ever struggled to get better at something or wondered if there's a more effective way to improve, Scott's ideas are definitely worth hearing. Scott was on the show a few years back to dicuss his first book (which is another “must-read” titled, Ultralearning). Scott also has an amazing program with another one of my favorite thinkers, Cal Newport, titled Life Of Focus for you to check out. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:08:40.

Scott is a wall street journal best-selling author of Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition. His work has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, TEDx, Business Insider and More. His new book Get Better at Anything – 12 Maxims for Mastery is available now. It explores why it's so difficult for people to learn new skills, arguing that three factors must be met to make advancement possible, and offering 12 maxims to improve the way we learn. The MIT CHALLENGE: "In 2012, I decided to try to learn MIT's 4-year undergraduate computer science curriculum in 12 months, without taking any classes. I was successful in passing the final exams for 33 classes and completing the required programming projects. You can view my TEDx Talk regarding the challenge" Scott H.Young. I'm currently learning Spanish (a mental challenge) and Muay Thai (a physical challenge) so this episode will be great for anyone looking to learn a skill; and the framework Scott created to do so. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show: How building permanent habits requires understanding the carrying cost and reducing the effort required to sustain them. The role motivation plays in pursuing difficult goals, and reducing friction can help sustain motivation. The misconception around traditional learning styles and why it has little evidence to support it. The secret with desirable difficulties, such as variable practice and retrieval practice; and how it can enhance learning and memory retention. Unlearning old skills and techniques may be necessary when learning something new. The principles of retrieval and retention in Ultra Learning have been particularly impactful for readers. Invest time in meta-learning before starting a new skill or subject. Why you need to expose yourself to your fears to overcome them and reduce anxiety. And much more.

Life revolves around learning—in school, at our jobs, even in the things we do for fun. But we often don't progress in any of these areas at the rate we'd like. Consequently, and unfortunately, we often give up our pursuits prematurely or resign ourselves to always being mediocre in our classes, career, and hobbies.Scott Young has some tips on how you can avoid this fate, level up in whatever you do, and enjoy the satisfaction of skill improvement. Scott is a writer, programmer, and entrepreneur, and the author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery. Today on the show, Scott shares the three key factors in helping us learn. He explains how copying others is an underrated technique in becoming a genius, why, contrary to the sentiments of motivational memes, we learn more from success than mistakes, why experts often aren't good teachers and tactics for drawing out their best advice, why you may need to get worse before you get better, and more.Resources Related to the PodcastScott's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #557 — Grow, Adapt, and Reinvent Yourself Through UltralearningThe Secret of Our Success: How Culture Is Driving Human Evolution, Domesticating Our Species, and Making Us Smarter by Joseph HenrichAoM Podcast #896: The Art and Science of Getting UnstuckAoM Article: Want to Become a Better Writer?
