Join us for an enlightening conversation on the "Crackin Backs" podcast with Mike Marotta, a former Airforce and San Antonio PD officer turned advocate for suicide prevention amongst first responders. After losing 6 colleagues to suicide in six months, Marotta decided to take his battle against the harrowing culture of silence to a larger stage. Mike opens up about the tough culture and stereotypes that envelop these unsung heroes, leading to an alarming number of suicides in the field. He dives deep into the topic of 'SUICIDE CONTAGION,' a phenomenon that raises suicide risk among those left behind. We discuss the staggering reality of averaging over 200+ suicides in law enforcement and first responders annually. Marotta shares his insights from Dr. Brene Brown's TED Talk about the strength in “shame and vulnerability”, and how it transformed his perspective on life. He shares the paramount importance of fostering bonds between new recruits and seasoned officers, crucial to building mental resilience. Tune in for this eye-opening episode about shifting from blame to learning, cultivating better home relationships, and restoring the police force's public image. Learn from Marotta's journey and his mantra, “you can't pour from an empty cup.” It's time to listen, learn and start vital conversations about mental health in law enforcement on this episode of Crackin Backs.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health. From our perspective, health is more than just “Crackin Backs” but a deep dive into physical, mental, and nutritional well-being philosophies. Join us as we talk to some of the greatest minds and discover some of the most incredible gems you can use to maintain a higher level of health. Crackin Backs Podcast

Inclusive Learning 365: Education that does NOT exclude anyoneThis episode is the first in our second season, and sets the stage for a full season focused on inclusion, i.e. student centered learning, i.e. equitable learning, i.e. student driven learning, i.e. universal design for learning. We are going to look at inclusive practices from multiple angles to better understand what inclusion means and how we can create it in our schools. Today we are talking to 3 of the 4 authors of the book Inclusive Learning 365: Mike Marotta, Karen Janowski, and Chris Bugaj. Their book provides a deeper understanding about what inclusion is and how educators can create inclusive learning opportunities in their classrooms with an inclusive idea for every day of the week. Plus a bonus idea for day 366!We talk with the authors about hot topics including Chat GPT, Standardized testing, and even the idea that we have reached a tipping point and we must revolutionize WHAT we are teaching in order to produce graduates that have real world skills.

Today you will hear a conversation I had with Karen Solomon, a pioneer on the first responder wellness front.  Karen is the founder of BLUE HELP, a non profit organization that started tracking LE suicides in 2016.  The organization also aims to reduce mental health stigma through education, advocate for benefits for those suffering from post-traumatic stress, acknowledge the service and sacrifice of LE officers we lost to suicide, support families after suicide and bring awareness to suicide and mental health issues. Karen tells us how BLUE HELP was created because of a gap in the support for police families who had lost a loved one to suicide; so she began sending care packages to families and began tracking the number of LE suicides. Karen tells the story of how she connected with other police officers by way of an online police wives group, since she herself is married to a police officer.  This connection and Karen's personal experience with suicide led to her writing two books, Hearts Beneath the Badge and The Price They Pay, and expanding BLUE HELP to FIRST HELP which began tracking fire, paramedic, and telecommunicator suicides last year.  She is a national speaker, advocate for federal legislation that impacts suicide survivor families, and a contributing columnist to several first responder publications. I recently had the opportunity to take training offered by FIRST HELP.  A colleague with the Fire Dept. arranged for this free training to come to my area in Wichita KS.  Responder Readiness is an 8 hour course that First Help Offers to agencies upon request free of charge.  Check the website for further information and other training they offer.  The trainer, Mike Marotta, is a United States Air Force veteran and veteran LEO.  He spent the day discussing stress, trauma, and the tools we can implement to optimize our performance.  I really enjoyed speaking from Mike and always value connecting with those committed to first responder mental health and wellness. First Help is a top-notch organization committed serving first responders and their families.  I hope you enjoy this episode and  understand that one person truly can make a difference.  Karen will tell you she doesn't do it alone, but she is an integral part of the organization.  The impact and ripple effect of her work will never truly be known.

Educators across the world are working to design individualized instruction that empowers every student to become experts at learning. Technology and instructional interventions designed to support students with disabilities often eventually become mainstream and used by the masses. These practices provide a pathway for designing inclusive, equitable, and accessible educational experiences that meet the needs of every individual learner.Chris and AJ speak with authors Christopher Bugaj, Karen Janowski, Mike Marotta, and Beth Poss about their new book, Inclusive Learning 365: Edtech Strategies for Every Day of the Year.Discussion Points:Inclusive vs AssistiveThe shift in the mindset that occurs by exploring a different practical, inclusive strategy each day and infusing these strategies into everyday practice.Explanation of how to use the strategy to design inclusive educational experiences.Resources:https://inclusive365.com/#InclusiveRoadToISTE See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's interview is with Chris's long-time friend and fellow assistive technology specialist, Mike Marotta. Mike is a specialist in inclusive design, and he joins Chris to discuss how accessibility features for common devices like iPhones, iPads, Chromebooks, and Android phones can be used to meet assistive technology needs. They talk about which features they like the most, adding captions, universal logins for accessibility, how to decide on which tools to offer people, and more! Before the interview, Chris and Rachel discuss ways that accessibility has been improved in the past year despite the pandemic, including Instagram adding automatic closed captioning for videos. Rachel discusses reaching out to technology companies for help with an accessibility issue, such as when she asked makers of the Word Wizard app to add high contrast. Key ideas this week:  Many "accessibility" features on our devices are not just for people with access problems (e.g. vision problems). Features like text to speech are helpful for many people - it can help everyone proofread their writing, for example. Captions are a great way to promote literacy and draw learners in. You can even mute the TV audio to require learners to read to follow the story. We don't want to overwhelm people with too many assistive technology tools. Work with the learner's team to dig into what the real issues are and then decide on one or two tools that will address those issues. You can always add more tools later as they become more proficient. 

In this episode we're joined by 4 educational experts, and friends of Texthelp, who have co-written a fantastic new book about inclusive learning. The book is called Inclusive Learning 365, and is being published by ISTE - the International Society for Technology in Education.  If you work in education this book will become your daily companion, with 365 strategies that you can use to provide the best learning experience. We're going to take a look at some of these strategies in today's podcast. The authors Chris Bugaj, Karen Janowski, Mike Marotta and Beth Poss come from a variety of backgrounds in education. We'll meet them all shortly and find out a bit more about them and what drove them to write this book.

Effectively utilizing assistive technology for individuals with special needs requires more than access to the latest gadgets, apps, and tools. More important is the process leading to the correct gadget, app, and tool. Mike Marotta is an assistive technology support specialist with an extensive resume spanning 30 years with the special needs population. In this episode, Mike shares the process he uses and gives us the confidence to do so as well.
