In this episode, Claire talks to Kelly Ashley a former teacher and current Primary English Specialist and author. Kelly starts by explaining how she moved from America to the UK. She explains her experience of the American schooling system as a teenager and young adult. She also talks about her university journey and what options were available to her. After choosing various subjects including anthropology, sociology and child psychology, Kelly decided to choose teaching as her career. She completed a two-year teaching course in America and, after meeting her husband, made moved countries. After qualifying and moving to North Carolina, Kelly visited different schools to secure a teaching job. She successfully found work in a large 5-form entry school as a Grade 3 (Year 2) class teacher. As she gained experience within the school, Kelly didn’t shy away from leadership roles and climbed up the ladder relatively swiftly. However, she explains how she left the school, and America, after meeting her future husband and moved to the UK. After teaching for 6 years in America and halfway to completing her master’s degree, Kelly’s transition to the UK as a teacher was not as straight forward as she would have wished for. She was informed that she needed to requalify as a teacher to teach in the UK and she later requalified through the Graduate Teaching Programme. In this podcast, Kelly talks about her journey as a teacher in the US and UK. She talks about the transition from the different countries as a teacher and how she became an English specialist. Throughout the podcast, Kelly compares the different schooling systems and the cultures in America and the UK. She shares the various strategies she has established and refined over the years to support children with closing the vocabulary gap, as well as aiding them to ensure they are exposed to a well-rich and well-versed environment. She talks about her book and how it can support teachers in the classroom.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Reading and writing workshop in America In this workshop, the teacher models a piece of text and the children have the opportunity to craft a text of their own. The workshops focused on children writing about personal interests. The text is explored as a reader and writer and how language and the language features can be used to portray a certain message. The workshop did not have a text-focused approach due to the pressures of the curriculum. Improving the vocabulary of reluctant readers Finding a way to help children develop a love of reading can start with identifying their interests. Share stories to heighten children’s engagement. The more teachers do this, the more it will help to connect with children’s personal interests and their personal understanding. It is all about that motivation and understanding. Provide children with a range of texts and encourage them to read different texts based on their interest. Recommend different texts types and books to help children develop their vocabulary and engagement with different texts. Closing the word gap Talk, talk and talk. In order to close the gap for children that don’t have a wealth of language under the age of 3, it is essential to interact and communicate with them verbally. It is important to acknowledge the extent of word and text knowledge children have at the age of three. If they have not been exposed to nursery rhymes or stories, they will not have a wealth of vocabulary. Firstly, it is important to understand the amount of talk used with children. Secondly, how we can extend the talk to dialogical talk. Dialogical talk – clarifying or asking a follow up question to an answer given or link it to personal experience and have a back and forth conversation. Develop on children’s answers When children respond to answers, develop and ask questions about their answers with new vocabulary. Engage and keep children interacted with the dialogue and associate words to the experience to help them broaden their vocabulary. Drip feeding new language Find opportunities within the classroom setting to drip feed and introduce new language. This can be through play-based learning, role play, group discussions or other methods. Recharging: charge up the word by teaching them a new word in a variety of ways. It’s the importance of recharging that word and giving them something to do with that word later. Challenging children and giving them the vocabulary and exposing them to the rich language won’t do them any harm. Storing vocabulary Even after vocabulary is processed through the auditory and visual channels there is a further challenge of words coming out. There are two different types of language stores in our brain: Receptive store – something we receive. We receive language through reading, we receive it through listening to people talk. Expressive vocabulary store – how we express our ideas and vocabulary through writing and speaking. Word of the day approach Research shows, to be a fully functioning, literate adult we need to have a vocabulary store of 50,000 – 60,000 words at the age of 16. In order to achieve this, children need to be exposed to 2,000 – 3,000 words every year up to the age of 16. If a child enters the school setting at the age of 3 with a significant word gap, they are already considerably behind the average child. However, it does not mean children need to be taught 2,000 – 3,000 words a year, it means children need to be exposed to a language-rich environment as they will learn these words through talk. In addition to this is modelling and interacting through high-quality texts. Ashley’s approach is a contextual based approach. A contextual based approach – teaching words in context to make play more engaging and interesting. After the context has been disclosed, how can the words be recharged and linked to their experience? The context must be strong and solid to ensure the word is rechargeable. The word must have a worse purpose for the children. If it doesn’t, the validity is questionable. Orthography and Phonology Orthography – visual or spelling. Writing a word and identifying words that start with the same letter string, i.e. ‘swamp, swing, sweat, sweater.’ Children may make a visual connection of the different words or they may make a visual connection to the last phoneme ‘mp’ i.e. bump, lamp, chomp etc.’ Phonology – sounds of the words and words that are in our language. Repeat the words in different tones and pitches, segmenting the word and getting children to repeat the word. Activate the understand of the word i.e. ‘what would and wouldn’t you see in a swamp?’ Morphology Morphology – changing an aspect. Morpheme – smallest unit of meaning in a word. Swamp holds meaning. However ‘swamped’ has a different meaning and has two morphemes. If we get an understanding of the root word it will help children understand the different morphemes associated with that root word. This supports the concept of word families in the National Curriculum. Etymology Etymology – history of words in our language. Getting children to investigate how words have arrived in our language and how they have changed over time.     BEST MOMENTS “The American [schooling] system is really different from the UK system.” “As soon as a I got into [teaching] I was absolutely hooked.” “I just drove around to different primary schools with my resume and I just went into the office and said, ‘Are you looking for any teachers?’ This was literally two weeks before schools started.” “It was a massive culture shock, educational culture shock, personal culture shock, everything.” “I was seconded to support the North Yorkshire English team. That eventually landed to a position coming opened. I applied and then I was working as a National Strategy Consultant.” “At the heart of it, whether you have a single age class or a mixed age class you need to be catering for the needs of all of your leaners. I think the biggest challenge for me was getting to grips with the change in curriculum and the curriculum expectations. Whilst I was in America, I was very familiar with what children needed to know and when they needed to know it. That was the challenge: more getting to grips with the expectations and what they should be achieving when. But the basic principles of understanding what are children doing and what do they need to do next, it was still applicable even though I had a mixed age class. It was thinking about, ‘how can we ensure that that offer really challenges the children in the most appropriate way?’” “The approaches to teaching back then [in America], especially in terms of literacy were a lot more holistic. You saw a lot of things like readers’ and writers’ workshop which, really interestingly, are coming back now.” “Education swings in roundabouts. There are some core principles, we have this great way in education of renaming the same thing.” “I had to almost relearn how to spell certain things.” “You could, theoretically, walk into a classroom in the US and still feel quite at home. Even though the curriculum is still quite different to how we shape the curriculum in the UK.”  “Sharing stories to try and heighten that interest. The more that you can do to help children to connect what they are reading to their personal interests and their personal understanding. It is all about that motivation and understanding. What reading materials are they having access to? Giving them a choice.” “As an adult it means, you need to have a good knowledge and understanding of what’s out there. Who are the new authors? Who are the authors that have been out there?” “It’s about going and exploring books… help the child to see the connections that we can make.” “If you hook onto an author or style that the child’s is really into, it’s really exploiting that and thinking is there something I can do here to engage the talk, engage the love of language, get them to explore that technical vocabulary… that will just open up their interest a bit more. It is about finding books that match their interest but also finding books that broaden their interest.” “If we want to make that dialogic, we might say, ‘Oh blueberries, I really like blueberries. What’s your favourite part of your breakfast meal?’ We might ask them a follow up question or ask them to clarify or we might link them into to a personal experience. It’s that dialogue - back and forth conversation - that will help children to find themselves within language, but also to better articulate themselves.” “Repeating that word in a sentence is called recasting, helping them to get the structure of the language.” “Limiting vocabulary in any way is never really a good idea.” “The speaking and repetition are really key.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Kelly Ashley: https://kellyashleyconsultancy.wordpress.com/ Kelly Ashley Consultancy: https://kellyashleyconsultancy.wordpress.com/vocabulary-development/ Dinosaur Dig: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dinosaur-Dig-Penny-Dales-Dinosaurs/dp/0857630946 The Thirty Million Word Gap, (Hart Risley): http://www.wvearlychildhood.org/resources/C-13_Handout_1.pdf Bringing Words to Life, (Isabel Beck) : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bringing-Words-Life-Second-Instruction-ebook/dp/B00BHYG41M/ Oli Cav: https://www.olicav.com/ Details for the Giveaway: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/  LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/   ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.

Interludes 1.0 (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/Interludes1.mp3] Link Interludes1.mp3   Introduction: Hello my endurance friends and welcome to a crack-stuffing version of the RunRunLive podcast that I'm going to call “Interludes”.  I didn't want you to think I fell into the abyss as I work to figure out the format for RunRunLive4.0.  I'll keep passing along some content as I go to keep your interest.  You can always go back and sample one of the previous 300 episodes that are filled with so much fluff and stuff about long distance running and endurance sport.   I was going to call it interregnum, but that seemed a bit imperious.  But, it does lead us to a discussion of the value of a good command of Latin and Greek roots when trying to discern the language.  As you may have guessed the prefix ‘inter', (technically a ‘morpheme') means between or among.  In this case Inter means between.  Inter should not be confused with ‘intra' which means ‘within'.   Intercompany would mean “Between companies” whereas “intra-company” would mean “within company”.  See how that works?  You can figure out the meaning of most words by looking at the morphemes.  Interregnum means between kingships.  The Latin root Reg is king.  As in Regicide, Regent, etc.    Now, as far as interlude, I thought at first that second bit, the ‘lude' was a form of the Latin root Luce which means light – as in Lucid, Elucidate, Luminescent, etc. But I was wrong.  It turns out to be Middle English for ‘play'.  Which, is perfect, because what we have here is a pause between plays.   And I ‘d like to thank my 9th grade prep school English teacher Mr. Mitchell, for making me memorize all the Latin and Greek roots.  Very handy for dismembering meaning from any of the Latin languages.  Oh…We were supposed to talk about running, right?  Or atleast Zombies.  Did you like my zombie story in episode 300?  Can you imagine poor Andrew Kastor listening to that episode and having to suffer through all the self-indulgent schlock? Heavens! Speaking of Andrew Kastor, I get to run with him in the morning.  I'm safely ensconced in the New York Palace Hotel (5-stars) on Madison Ave across from Rockefeller Center.  They flew me in today and got me a limo into town.  I'm having drinks with them later.  I do feel a bit like Cinderella.  (but I'll still never a Disney race)   I just made a successful foray into the wild metropolis (greek word) and managed to forage a bag of fruit and a kale salad with avocado, so the city isn't too bad.  Today, well, we'll see what I can get done.  I've got too many plates spinning at the moment, but today we'll squeeze in an interview (see there's that Morpheme again) interview with Jim from the seeker podcast who is a certified nurse.  I asked Jim to talk me through some of the things people should be looking for when they get a physical.   I'm also going to try to write up my Marine Corp marathon report for you…and maybe even something else.  I've got more ideas than time to birth them!  Last time we chatted, two weeks ago, I was getting ready to volunteer at the BayState Marathon and the Groton Town Forest Trail Race.  I did volunteer at Baystate, we work a water stop each year.  It's fun.  We're at the 7 and 17 mile marks of the Marathon.  I try to coach people and encourage them.  I know most of the local running clubs so I can call them out when I see the singlets.  It was a bit of windy day, as it is sometimes at BayState, and that knocked a lot of the folks down who were looking for times.  That's why you need to train outside in real conditions.  Learn how to run in the wind and the rain.  There are techniques for all of this that can save your race. I had a 10 mile pace run on the calendar as my last taper run for Marine Corp that day.  I didn't manage to get up in time, and instead decided to run the trail race, which is 9.5 miles as a substitute.  If you've never run the Groton Town Forest Trail Race you are missing out.  It's a gnarly single path with plenty of vertical.   We had great trail conditions and a nice cool day.  The wind didn't bother us in the trails.  I started out in the back with the baggage train and used the first 20 minutes to warm up.  Then I accelerated through the pack for the next 7 or so miles.  I've run the course plenty of times so I know how hard it is.  You'd better be in top trail shape if you decide to attack it.  In the last couple miles I caught all the people who underestimated the course and overestimated their abilities!  Yeah, I felt great, had a good race.  I had forgotten just how much fun trail running is!  Then, of course, I was down in Marine Corp last weekend.  Got that done without breaking anything, much. And now I've got The New York City Marathon this weekend, (which apparently has been outsourced to the Tata Consultancy).   Spinning plates… On with the show… Section One:  New York City Marathon Speech - http://runrunlive.com/gratitude http://youtu.be/xHYCClSGnfo?list=UUHxGvauB2-_J1qvR_oDobeg …. Intro to Interview:  I got my physical last week and everything checked out, but they handed me a bunch of blood work results which are mystifying to me.  I figured I'd share those and chat through them with Jim and see if we couldn't save some lives.  My resting pulse, or heart rate is somewhere in the 36-42 BPM range, which is not normal, but it's perfectly normal for me.  It's partly genetics and partly endurance sports.  My blood pressure is 117 over 80, which I guess is normal.  My Prostate is okey-dokey on both the ever-pleasing digital exam and the PSA blood test.   By the way – men, get yourself tested.  As many men die from prostate cancer as women die from breast cancer and it's 100% curable if they catch it early.  Ladies, make your men get tested.  The blood test they do checks all sorts of stuff, your sugar, your salt, your liver function and even if I was pregnant.  All of which I'm in the normal bounds on and (I'm not pregnant).  My liver function was borderline high but this is also one of those long distance running things.  I always go into these physicals after a hard race or workout and when you do that it can throw off your blood work, especially your liver function, because your liver is trying to clear all that crap from the workout out of your blood.   If you want a copy of my blood results with all the explanations I can send them to you.  Lean back and relax now while Jim and I discuss saving your life.   I didn't have time to edit this so you're getting our raw conversation.   Section two:  Marine Corp - http://runrunlive.com/2014-marine-corp-marathon Outro: Was that fun?  I bet it was.  Over the next couple weeks, if I survive New York, I'm going to dial back the training for November.  I have many balls in the air this month.  I have to get through a colonoscopy.  I've also got an appointment with the cardiologist to see if we can figure out what's going on with my heart rate.   I went in yesterday to my doctor and I brought some HR graphs from some of my runs to show him what I'm experiencing.  About 40 minutes into a workout my HR will flip to max and I'll feel it.  There is no way my heart rate should be getting up into the 180's and 190's unless a bear's chasing me.  A zombie bear.  An alien zombie bear.   I'm perfectly ok if the answer is ‘you're old'. But I want to make sure it's not some new adventure that's going to cause me to not return from a run.   Therefor – If I hit the cement hard in the NYC marathon and don't get up, tell my wife I've got 3-4 interviews on the hard drive that need to be edited and released.  I will see you out there.  Chris,  

Interludes 1.0 (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/Interludes1.mp3] Link Interludes1.mp3   Introduction: Hello my endurance friends and welcome to a crack-stuffing version of the RunRunLive podcast that I’m going to call “Interludes”.  I didn’t want you to think I fell into the abyss as I work to figure out the format for RunRunLive4.0.  I’ll keep passing along some content as I go to keep your interest.  You can always go back and sample one of the previous 300 episodes that are filled with so much fluff and stuff about long distance running and endurance sport.   I was going to call it interregnum, but that seemed a bit imperious.  But, it does lead us to a discussion of the value of a good command of Latin and Greek roots when trying to discern the language.  As you may have guessed the prefix ‘inter’, (technically a ‘morpheme’) means between or among.  In this case Inter means between.  Inter should not be confused with ‘intra’ which means ‘within’.   Intercompany would mean “Between companies” whereas “intra-company” would mean “within company”.  See how that works?  You can figure out the meaning of most words by looking at the morphemes.  Interregnum means between kingships.  The Latin root Reg is king.  As in Regicide, Regent, etc.    Now, as far as interlude, I thought at first that second bit, the ‘lude’ was a form of the Latin root Luce which means light – as in Lucid, Elucidate, Luminescent, etc. But I was wrong.  It turns out to be Middle English for ‘play’.  Which, is perfect, because what we have here is a pause between plays.   And I ‘d like to thank my 9th grade prep school English teacher Mr. Mitchell, for making me memorize all the Latin and Greek roots.  Very handy for dismembering meaning from any of the Latin languages.  Oh…We were supposed to talk about running, right?  Or atleast Zombies.  Did you like my zombie story in episode 300?  Can you imagine poor Andrew Kastor listening to that episode and having to suffer through all the self-indulgent schlock? Heavens! Speaking of Andrew Kastor, I get to run with him in the morning.  I’m safely ensconced in the New York Palace Hotel (5-stars) on Madison Ave across from Rockefeller Center.  They flew me in today and got me a limo into town.  I’m having drinks with them later.  I do feel a bit like Cinderella.  (but I’ll still never a Disney race)   I just made a successful foray into the wild metropolis (greek word) and managed to forage a bag of fruit and a kale salad with avocado, so the city isn’t too bad.  Today, well, we’ll see what I can get done.  I’ve got too many plates spinning at the moment, but today we’ll squeeze in an interview (see there’s that Morpheme again) interview with Jim from the seeker podcast who is a certified nurse.  I asked Jim to talk me through some of the things people should be looking for when they get a physical.   I’m also going to try to write up my Marine Corp marathon report for you…and maybe even something else.  I’ve got more ideas than time to birth them!  Last time we chatted, two weeks ago, I was getting ready to volunteer at the BayState Marathon and the Groton Town Forest Trail Race.  I did volunteer at Baystate, we work a water stop each year.  It’s fun.  We’re at the 7 and 17 mile marks of the Marathon.  I try to coach people and encourage them.  I know most of the local running clubs so I can call them out when I see the singlets.  It was a bit of windy day, as it is sometimes at BayState, and that knocked a lot of the folks down who were looking for times.  That’s why you need to train outside in real conditions.  Learn how to run in the wind and the rain.  There are techniques for all of this that can save your race. I had a 10 mile pace run on the calendar as my last taper run for Marine Corp that day.  I didn’t manage to get up in time, and instead decided to run the trail race, which is 9.5 miles as a substitute.  If you’ve never run the Groton Town Forest Trail Race you are missing out.  It’s a gnarly single path with plenty of vertical.   We had great trail conditions and a nice cool day.  The wind didn’t bother us in the trails.  I started out in the back with the baggage train and used the first 20 minutes to warm up.  Then I accelerated through the pack for the next 7 or so miles.  I’ve run the course plenty of times so I know how hard it is.  You’d better be in top trail shape if you decide to attack it.  In the last couple miles I caught all the people who underestimated the course and overestimated their abilities!  Yeah, I felt great, had a good race.  I had forgotten just how much fun trail running is!  Then, of course, I was down in Marine Corp last weekend.  Got that done without breaking anything, much. And now I’ve got The New York City Marathon this weekend, (which apparently has been outsourced to the Tata Consultancy).   Spinning plates… On with the show… Section One:  New York City Marathon Speech - http://runrunlive.com/gratitude http://youtu.be/xHYCClSGnfo?list=UUHxGvauB2-_J1qvR_oDobeg ….

The root word morph comes from a Greek word meaning ‘shape.’ Ever heard of the ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’? When they are ‘morphin’ they are changing ‘shape.’ Let’s stay in good academic ‘shape’ and take a look at the intellectual words that derive from this root.Like this?
