You have heard us often discuss the shortcomings of standardized assessments in accurately determining the best ways to meet a child's needs in the classroom. Standardized assessments are a tool, but they are not the best tool to use for every student. Today we dive into “learning stories,” observations that tell a story recognizing a child's everyday efforts as milestones in their growth. Join us to learn more!We are joined by Julia Koumbassa, the Professional Development Director at Educa, the first and only software platform created specifically for learning stories. She helps oversee a virtual academy of training and professional development for early childhood educators and has vast experience in early childhood education as a teacher and administrator. In her work, she has become obsessed with learning stories and how they give new and beautiful perspectives on a child's competencies and strengths. Show Highlights:Julia's explanation of what learning stories are and how this tool was first developed in New ZealandThe three-part format of a learning story: what happened, what the interpretation is, and what opportunities and possibilities existHow learning stories incorporate an assessment tool, observation tool, and planning tool all in oneHow learning stories differ greatly from other assessment tools in that they are strengths-based, positive, and empoweringHow learning stories incorporate input and responses from the child's family membersHow learning stories become a record of adventures and growth that follows a child from year to year and teacher to teacherHow to learn more about learning storiesLinks/Resources:Learn more about learning stories: Wendy Lee and the Educational Leadership Project and SALSA-Supporting the Advancement of Learning Stories in AmericaConnect with Julia Koumbassa: Email and Educa websitehttps://academy.geteduca.comContact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center, and send us your questions for Nadia Bennett for a future episode: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org Thank you for listening!

Today's topic is ERCOT (The Electric Reliability Council of Texas), and we have two guests. Eric Goff is President at Goff Policy, an infrastructure consulting firm focusing on ERCOT market energy transition issues. Eric serves as the sole representative for residential consumers in the ERCOT stakeholder process. Jaden Crawford is director of policy at David Energy, a modern energy retailer that operates in multiple markets, including Texas. David Energy is also an MCJ Collective portfolio company. From an electrons perspective, the Texas energy grid is unique because it's relatively isolated from the rest of North America. It's also a deregulated market, which means that energy retail or selling power to end consumers is separate from energy generation or the act of creating power. Therefore, there's a robust B2B market between retailers and generators in addition to a direct-to-consumer retailer market. All of this has created a vibrant entrepreneurial energy ecosystem in Texas.Companies in Texas are relatively free to experiment with new models and technologies, and the open market rules the day.

They think it's something that happens by chance or only when God allows it.But guess what? Church growth is actually quite simple: Reach more people and disciple them. The problem is that this formula doesn't just magically happen on its own—you have to work to make it happen. And it's not always an easy process.If you're going through the motions every week without making any sort of progress, maybe it's time to make a few tweaks to your current strategy or look into some new ideas that might help get your church growing again. There are many different ways to approach the process of growing your church; however, there are just as many different opinions about what works best for each organization. Some ideas may seem counterintuitive at first glance but actually produce amazing results once appropriately implemented.Canvas Church in Kalispell, Montana, is an excellent example of how churches can grow through an intentional, strategic, and sustainable approach to making their community and church bigger and better.If you're interested in how they did it, you will absolutely want to listen to Kevin Geer, lead pastor of Canvas Church,  share how they attained this phenomenal growth. Now that they've seen success with this model, he wanted to share some of their top tips with you so that you can do something similar!“We're working so hard to keep 99 people happy, but we lose the one. And there's more joy in heaven over the one .”- Kevin GeerMany strategies work well for each church, and with some effort and planning, you can implement any of them. Knowing which methods work best for your specific needs will require some trial and error (and potentially some hard work), but hopefully, this episode will give you a place to start!By the end of this episode, you will learn:Proven strategies for effective church growthHow they grew their church from 500 to over 4000 membersHow to revitalize a churchThe ways churches can be more welcomingHow to connect with and reach the millennialsHow to restructure your church for maximum effectiveness Ways to build a healthy staff cultureHow to make the gift of each member count for church growthResources Mentioned:Know more about Canvas Church: canvas.church/kalispell Follow Kevin on Twitter: @lifengeer Listen to Kevin's podcast: lifengeer.comOther Episodes You May be Interested In:The Secret to Church Revitalization with Cody Evans How to Attract Millennials to Church with Tony Fernandez Create a Culture of Belonging with Willie Dwayne Francois III=======Tithely provides the tools you need to engage with your church online, stay connected, increase generosity, and simplify the lives of your staff.With tools like text and email messaging, custom church apps and websites, church management software, digital giving, and so much more… it's no wonder over 37,000 churches in 50 countries trust Tithely to help run their church.Learn more at https://tithely.com

What do you have to let go of in order to create a bigger impact?My guest Laura Beauparlant ran a custom stationery business for 12 years. She was highly successful, and her innovative wedding invitation designs had been featured in many magazines.Laura was making good money and building a name, but she knew that she wanted to leave the wedding industry. She wanted something bigger and better. She’d been doing design work for small businesses and soon realized she was making more money from small business branding than from her wedding invitations.She knew she needed to shift where she put her energy.In November of 2015, she quit doing wedding design completely and within 5 or 6 months she’d launched her new company, Lab Creative, and started her Brand Camp program.The lesson? Sometimes, you need to let go of something in order to grow.As Laura scaled up, she realized that couldn’t move beyond a certain revenue point without hiring a team and letting go of having full control.She needed to recognize that her role in her business is that of a visionary, and that the only way she could thrive in that role is by having a team to support her.She also needed to heal a money mindset that caused her to feel guilty about building wealth.Once she let go, she achieved some truly incredible results!In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌The power in claiming your role as a visionary in your businessThe importance of recognizing when it’s time to hire — and how to be okay with bringing on new team membersHow shifting your money mindset can free you from limiting beliefs and guilt about building wealth“I have it in my calendar to pay myself every two weeks, just like I would pay anybody else... I’ve learned that I have to pay myself. The work I do is valuable and I deserve to get paid in my business.” — Laura BeauparlantAbout Laura BeauparlantLaura Beauparlant is author of the book Brand Chemistry, an award-winning keynote speaker, and the founder and creative director of Lab Creative, whose branding and design process offers their clients a unique blend of experience, personality, and style.Highlights:‌01:51 About Laura Beauparlant03:46 Transitioning to a new business07:49 Reflection & pivotal moments11:40 The challenges of hiring14:53 Key players Laura hired & why18:42 The finances of hiring21:32 Mindset shiftLinks:‌Laura Beauparlant https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-beauparlant-4304381Lab Creative https://www.labcreative.caInstagram: @labcreativeincBrand Audit Offer https://www.labcreative.ca/brandauditBrand Chemistry by Laura Beauparlant https://brandchemistrybook.comBrand Camp: https://www.labcreative.ca/virtual-brand-camp - Use code CUMMINS for $250 off!To work with me and make your next power move, visit: https://shelaghcummins.comJoin the Road To Seven Facebook group to meet other like-minded entrepreneurs who want to band together and help each other rise up.I would be really grateful if you left a review on iTunes so that others can find and boost their business too!

Knowing your numbers, understanding what they mean, being clear on how to read your management accounts, and how to use that information to shape your decisions - these are essential, but challenging skills that founders need to master.I met Reza Hooda when we were both panellists on a webinar called 'Cash is King'.  He qualified as a chartered accountant and tax advisor with PwC and then became Managing Partner of Walji & Co chartered accountants in 2008. He has since transformed the small traditional firm on the south coast into a highly successful practice being acknowledged in the 2019 Accounting Excellence Top 5 small firm of the year awards by Accounting Web. Over the last 12 months, Reza has built a virtual coaching and mentoring business for other accounting firm owners to help them build more enjoyable, successful and profitable accounting firms. He has used social media extensively to build his reputation amongst the accountant community where he now has a large following – over 500 accountants in his Facebook group and every month nearly 100 accounting firm owners attend his mentoring sessions. I invited Reza onto the podcast to share his experience of helping entrepreneurs make better use of their management accounts.On the podcast we discuss:The key difference between an entrepreneur and a small business ownerHow your numbers help you look to the future and make decisions (rather than just reflecting on past achievements)How the numbers give you clues to the decisions and behaviour of your team membersHow often founders should be reviewing their management accountsWhy start-ups and scale-ups need to be extra diligentKey measures you need to pay attention to and why these are importantThe three most common challenges his start-up clients gave and the role an accountant plays in dealing with themWhat the most successful business owners have in common and do more than anyone elseThe pricing mistakes you need to avoid, and how to use pricing to drive your business decisions3 essential ingredients to building a high performing teamUseful links:Reza Hooda’s website Reza Hooda’s Facebook page Reza’s book, Transform Your Profits Through Price Reza’s LinkedIn profile Walji & Co YouTube channel

If you've never taken a look at a credit union, now is the time. Credit unions are a cooperative banking system meaning they exist literally to give back to their members. Get this, there are over 9,000 credit unions in the U.S. One of the things that makes me so excited is that credit unions are non-profits. They pass profits back to members in terms of lower fees and better rates. You may remember Tamar Atamian, VP of Marketing and Advertising from Wescom Credit Union, from an episode in October, and we are back for part 2 to help you fall in love with credit unions and uncover why credit unions might just be better than banks.What You'll LearnWhat is a credit unionWhat makes credit unions different from traditional banksHow credit unions pass profits back to membersHow you can join Wescom credit unionWhy credit unions like Wescom give back to the communityHow to find and join a credit unionLinksWescom Credit UnionTamar Atamian on LinkedInWhat Would You Give Up to Get Rid of Debt podcast episodeEpisode TranscriptSUBSCRIBE & SHAREWant to be the first to know when new episodes are released?

I may have set a new record for the shortest time from concept to production for a podcast:  20 minutes ago, I shared on Twitter that my best friend, Desiree Adaway, set up a personal board of directors last year and just sent me her annual report.Desiree is the Senior Director of Volunteer Mobilization for Habitat for Humanity, and felt the need to get expert advice and insight from people she trusted and admired.Many people were interested in hearing her story, so I called her up and recorded a podcast on the spot.  I hope you enjoy our conversation in which we cover:What is a personal board of directors How to choose good membersHow to make sure the relationship is mutually beneficialHow to get the most out of the mentoring relationship Desiree and I learned of the concept from Jim Collins in Good to Great.  Here are a few articles which expand on the topic:BusinessWeek:  Good to Great ExpectationsIn Jim's own words from the Fast Company Design Conference in Phoenix, 2000:  Why have a personal board of directors?
