Are you passionate about education and literacy? If so, this episode of the Better Learning Podcast is a must-listen! Titled The Power of Reading Proficiency, this episode dives deep into the urgent need to improve reading skills across the United States. Brandon Cardet-Hernandez shares his journey in education, from growing up in a group home to becoming the president of Mrs. Wordsmith. He emphasizes the importance of reading proficiency and the impact it has on a person's life. Brandon discusses his experiences as a special education teacher, working in school reform, and serving as an education advisor for Mayor Bill de Blasio. They also discuss the confusion surrounding the science of reading and the need for a more comprehensive approach to literacy education. They explore the challenges in the current education system and the importance of personalized learning and low-stakes testing. Brandon emphasizes the need for collaboration and creative solutions to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed in reading.   Takeaways: Reading proficiency is crucial for success in life, and access to reading materials and support can greatly impact a person's educational outcomes. Educators often enter the field to address personal experiences or to make a positive change in the education system. Collaboration between different stakeholders, including policymakers, schools, and families, is essential for improving education. The work of Mrs. Wordsmith focuses on improving reading skills through phonics, vocabulary, and explicit instruction. The science of reading includes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary, all of which are crucial for reading comprehension. School boards play a crucial role in shaping education policies and should prioritize literacy as a key focus area.   A recognized leader and changemaker, Brandon has spent his career working to reimagine the systems, structures, and tools that accelerate opportunity and close achievement gaps. Brandon previously served as the Senior Education Advisor to former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and as the Director of Strategic Initiatives for the NYC Department of Education. A former special education teacher, Brandon has sat at the helm of two high schools, leading both institutions through transformational change.     Sound Bites to Ponder:   "Half of young people in the US are reading below grade level." "We need to be putting a level of urgency on reading and literacy because our schools are failing in this area." "We're focused on the science of reading, which includes phonemic awareness, phonics, and explicit instruction around vocabulary." "We need to recognize that the six hours and 20 minutes of a school day may not be sufficient for every child."       Follow on Brandon Cardet-Hernandez on Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandoncardethernandez/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandoncardet/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrandonCardet   Boston Public Schools Website: https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/Page/1030 Mrs. Wordsmith Website: https://mrswordsmith.com/       Learn more about creating better learning environments at www.Kay-Twelve.com.   Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

He's one of the brightest, most decent men I know.” Earlier in the week, a jury in Wilmington, Delaware found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony charges related to lying on a background-check he submitted when acquiring a firearm in October of 2018. According to reports, the president's son could face up to 25-years in prison and a fine up to $750,000. Could this be used as an excuse for Biden to step aside as the Democrat nominee for president?

Similarly, The Hill believes Trump has a 56-in-100 chance of winning. 4:30pm- During an interview with Dana Bash on CNN, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem suggested that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should pick a woman to be his running mate.

Plus, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez recently revealed that she believes Trump wants to throw her in jail! 5:30pm- Who was the best James Bond: Sean Connery? Daniel Craig? Pierce Brosnan???

The deployment is likely a warning to President Biden after he gave approval for Ukrainian forces to strike some targets within Russia using U.S. weaponry, according to Rebekah Koffler, strategic intelligence analyst and author of ‘Putin's Playbook.' Russian President Vladimir Putin is telling Washington, ‘we can touch you,' Koffler said.” You can read the full article here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/putin-fleet-warships-cuba-direct-warning-biden-experts-say 6:25pm- Ocean Train!

[00:30] The Trouble With Harvard (55 minutes) Harvard president Claudine Gay has finally resigned, following her failure to condemn calls for genocide against Jews and a massive plagiarism scandal. Instead of recognizing and apologizing for her mistakes, she says that the calls for her to resign were racist. Recent Harvard fellows have included former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Boston Mayor Kim Janey, all dyed-in-the-wool leftists. Herbert W. Armstrong warned that higher education was dangerously polluted with evolution, Marxist economics and Freudian morals and social patterns—and he was right!

As the Left is trying to publicly smear Tucker Carlson, Chad is here to remind those on the Left how destructive they were during the pandemic — especially disgraced former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Do you remember when he came on TV to announce a new incentive to get the “blah-blah”? Yes, dear old Bill de Blasio encouraged New Yorkers to get the “blah-blah” so they would receive free Shake Shack food. Now New York has become the first state to ban gas stoves, and Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul even had the balls to come on TV to defend the ban. Today's show will be a GREAT reminder to the Left of what is ACTUALLY offensive — all the draconian policies it is forcing on regular Americans. Let's also not forget the BIGGEST offense, which is that President Biden is doing nothing about the UNSECURED border, the upcoming expiration of Title 42, and the INVASION of America by illegal immigrants. That is more offensive than watching former Fox News host Tucker Carlson be human and joke around.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: Matt Sharp—Senior Legal Counsel Representing Lorie Smith of 303 Creative | Alliance Defending Freedom—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis. The question being asked before the court is whether Lorie Smith, a wedding website designer, is legally permitted to decline creating custom webpages for same-sex weddings—is her religious objection protected by the First Amendment? During oral argument, Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that Colorado law forced Jack Phillips—the cake baker in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission—was forced, by the state, to go through a reeducation program after refusing to make custom cakes for same-sex weddings citing a religious objection. Rich figures out how to play sound effects from his studio—it's only been one segment, but Matt is already disgusted. Plus, the Zeoli show relives one of our all-time favorite clips: former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio eating Shake Shack on television. According to a report from The Daily Signal, Assistant Secretary of Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Rachel Levine encouraged doctors to “proactively” campaign on behalf of transgender care for minors, during a September Zoom conference at University of Pittsburgh's Department of Pediatrics. Qatar's beautiful camel contest! Are these camels ACTUALLY beautiful?!?! Matt and Rich disagree. In an opinion editorial featured in The Arizona Republic, Senator Krysten Sinema announced that she changed her party affiliation from Democrat to Independent. Will this decision have any impact on Senate voting? Probably not.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/09/2022): 3:05pm- Twitter Files Part 2: On Thursday night, former Wall Street Journal and New York Times journalist Bari Weiss revealed, prior to Elon Musk taking ownership, Twitter maintained a blacklist which limited the visibility of conservative commentators like, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and Dan Bongino. Perhaps most disturbingly, Stanford University Professor of Medicine Jay Bhattacharya was also “shadow banned” for suggesting that prolonged COVID-19 lockdowns could irreparably harm children—particularly educationally. According to Weiss' reporting, the group banning the most high-profile Twitter accounts included former CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal. 3:30pm- After establishing that former Twitter executives authorized shadow banning conservative accounts, the next question that must be answered: were these bans being compelled by governmental officials and/or political organizations? 3:45pm- While speaking with John Roberts on Fox News, former Vice President Mike Pence was asked if he believed shadow bans on social media—Twitter specifically—cost Trump-Pence the 2020 presidential election.  3:50pm- On September 5th, 2018, while speaking before Congress, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey stated, “[w]e don't consider political viewpoints, perspectives, or party affiliation in any of our policies or enforcement decisions, period. Impartiality is our guiding principle.” This statement now appears to be false. Will Dorsey be held accountable?  4:05pm- Matt Sharp—Senior Legal Counsel Representing Lorie Smith of 303 Creative | Alliance Defending Freedom—joins The Rich Zeoli Show.

Probably not. 5:05pm- According to a report from The Daily Wire, “[v]ideo emerged Thursday afternoon of Brittney Griner being swapped on a runway for convicted Russian terrorist Viktor Bout after Democrat President Joe Biden agreed to the trade.” The video shows a clear edit that appears to occur right before Brittney Griner may have shaken hands with Bout. Did the White House delete the handshake because of bad optics?  5:10pm- According to a report from Politico's Lara Seligman, “[s]ome Pentagon officials are concerned that convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was released on Thursday in a prisoner swap for American basketball star Brittney Griner, could return to illegally trafficking weapons, potentially fueling conflicts across the world.” 5:20pm- In 2010, 60 Minutes aired a report on Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. They referred to him as one of the most dangerous people on earth.  5:35pm- According to a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Mayor Jim Kenney has been vocal in his complaints about a 6ABC story that criticized his performance in public office—even swearing at Brian Tierney for his role in the piece.  5:45pm- Mystery Movie Clip: Is Jingle All the Way one of the most underrated Christmas films? 6:05pm- Twitter Files Part 3: On Friday night, investigative journalist Matt Taibbi released information regarding the decision to remove former President Donald Trump from Twitter. Taibbi wrote, “Whatever your opinion on the decision to remove Trump that day, the internal communications at Twitter between January 6th-January 8th have clear historical import. Even Twitter's employees understood in the moment it was a landmark moment in the annals of speech.” According to Taibbi, Twitter executives were “prepared to ban future presidents and White Houses–perhaps even Joe Biden.” 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? 

In 2018, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a plan to replace the Specialized High School Admissions Test, or SHSAT. For years, advocates had argued that the test favored white and Asian students while systematically keeping Black and Latinx kids out of the city's most elite and well-resourced high schools. But many Asian American parents felt targeted by the mayor's plan, and they mobilized to defend the test.So when the District 28 diversity planning process was rolled out a year later, many Chinese immigrant parents in Queens saw this as “just another attack." This time, however, they were ready to fight back.The SHSAT is just one example of "merit-based" admissions to advanced or "gifted" education programs. These programs can start as early as kindergarten and they have become a third rail in New York City politics. In this episode, we ask why gifted education gets so much attention, even though it affects relatively few students. How do we even define what it means to be "gifted"? And by focusing on these programs, whose needs do we overlook?Click here for a full episode transcript.Join us at the Queens Public Library on December 15!Are you using School Colors in your own teaching or organizing?

Program Notes A fierce warrior for women's rights, bodily autonomy, and naming women in the U.S. Constitution, the conversation with Karen Hinton is stimulating and informative. Best known for her role as press secretary to both former Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Karen has always been determined to “speak up not shut up” on issues that impact women. From discussing the Dobbs case that saw the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, to her experiences with the issue of abortion, both directly personal and within her community, Karen shared her commitment to be instrumental in change and how we can all become change agents in our own communities and the country at large.    Biography Mississippi native Karen Hinton is a nationally-recognized media professional in Washington and New York. Best known for her role as press secretary to both former Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Hinton played what Politico dubbed the “Helen of Troy role” in the clash between Cuomo, now the former Governor of New York, and Mayor de Blasio. The New York Times called the clash “one of America's ugliest political feuds.” Hinton cut her teeth as the press secretary for the first Black Congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction in 1986. The Democratic National Committee hired her in 1989, serving a similar role for Ron Brown, who was the first Black Chairman of the DNC and a key political strategist to elect Bill Clinton as President. In 1995, Hinton joined the Clinton Administration as press secretary for Cuomo at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. During that time, President Clinton began to face charges of womanizing (and worse). Hinton later relocated to New York and became Mayor de Blasio's press secretary. She found herself at the center of the crossfire between longtime frenemies Cuomo and de Blasio, often becoming the subject of news coverage herself. Known for never ducking from a fight, Hinton was at the peak of her career when a catastrophic brain injury from a freak accident confronted her with the battle of her life. Emerging from a coma, and learning to walk and talk again, Hinton was determined to “speak up not shut up” on issues involving women, men, and power in politics.   Instagram @jkarenhinton TikTok @karenhinton

In this provocative and timely episode Lesley welcomes Karen Hinton, author of Penis Politics. From early life in Mississippi to Washington DC, NYC and back to Mississippi, plus a side jaunt to New Orleans Karen speaks directly and transparently to the issues she raises in her Best Selling book. She speaks to the listeners of how her abiding commitment to dismantling racism placed her in the position to be a spokesperson regarding its devastating effects. Karen addresses how the dynamic of how men's internal struggle becomes an outward abuse of women, and how this is exacerbated in the case of men who hold power in any manifestation. With great respect for what #metoo accomplished, Karen saw there was no attention being given to the middle class and low-income women. The more she studied, the more clearly she realized the degree to which the issue of sexual abuse is pervasive, through every sector of society and even into our schools. Within the pages of her book and during this conversation on Women We Should Know, Karen offers action points that we as women can take to put a stop to these abuses. She reminds women that we are more than 50% of the population, and within that rest great power.       Mississippi native Karen Hinton is a nationally-recognized media professional in Washington and New York.

Her website, www.penis-politics.com, provides additional media, as well as a number of book reviews.Penis Politics has been called a "Stand by Me for girls” with its evocative story of four teenage girls, growing up in small town Mississippi in the 1970s, harboring a secret that reverberates through their lives. One of the girls, the shining star among Karen and her friends, is raped by a school official in the bookroom; she quits school and commits suicide years later. Karen leaves Mississippi for a career in journalism and politics, but the echoes of Mississippi are never far behind her as she becomes a powerful public relations and political operative in Washington and New York City.She served as a communications aide to many Democratic politicians.

Emerging from a coma, learning to walk and talk again, Hinton was determined to “speak up, not shut up” on issues involving women, men and power in politics.Hinton regularly contributes guest columns to the New York Daily News and other publications, focusing on the topics of #MeToo, sexual harassment in politics and skewering big oil, big banks and other bullies whenever possible. Earlier in her career, Hinton was a journalist in Mississippi and Colorado, a cocktail waitress in Aspen and a high school teacher in Mississippi. Connect with Karen:WebsiteInstagram---To learn more about Kim's Me Time Midlife Community on Facebook, go here.

Maya is a nationally renowned racial justice and equity activist and advocate who ran for mayor of New York City in 2021. She should have won! In our conversation with her in 2018, she shared that she was no longer an optimist, but hadn't given up hope. She has “a passion for the possible” combined with a laser focus on fighting for our democracy. If you watch TV news (MSNBC), you likely saw her share her sharp analysis on the assault against our country's values and heard her wise counsel on priorities for collective action, including activism on the upcoming census. Now 58, she has litigated, lobbied the U.S. Congress, and developed programs to transform structural racism in the U.S. and in South Africa.  Maya recently served as Counsel to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, chaired the New York City Police Department's Civilian Complaint Review Board, founded and led the Center for Social Inclusion, and is now Senior Vice President for Social Justice at the New School. Maya's guidance, struggle and compassion in these perilous times are enough to turn these Two Old Bitches into possibilists as well. And you?  Click here for the original post.

Last night's meeting began with the introduction of the newest School Committee member, Brandon Cardet-Hernandez, to round out the seven-member committee. A former advisor to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Cardet-Hernandez is currently the Executive Director of the Ivy Street School, a private program serving students with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and other learning disabilities. Cardet-Hernandez joins Dr.Stephen Alkins as the two newest members appointed by Mayor Wu this month. The meeting began with the Superintendent's Report that first celebrated this year's Educators of the Year. The report focused on COVID rates and updates to testing options, and concluded with a preview of the only report of the night on high school redesign. After thoughtful questions asked by committee members, the School Committee heard public comments primarily from two school communities: the P.A. Shaw School, with numerous students and parents asking for the district to keep their promise of adding a fourth and fifth grade, and the Manning Elementary School, with parents expressing concern with the new exam school policy that denies students assigned to their school the ten bonus points. After a vote on approving a revised Code of Conduct, the School Committee then heard the only report of the night on high school redesign. The Superintendent and her team provided a high-level vision for schools that was lacking in details, metrics, or timelines. One of the more notable points of the presentation was the plan to convert the King K-8 and Trotter K-8 into K-6 schools that would have a guaranteed pathway to the Burke High School in the Grove Hall section of Roxbury. The School Committee asked targeted questions about implementation and timeline for the redesign. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

NO JAB? NO JOB.New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced he was imposing a vaccine mandate for private companies, just three weeks before he leaves office on December 31. This affects everyone from construction workers, to the cashier at Walgreens, to the investment banker at Goldman Sachs. No jab, no job.The details: NYC is the first place in the nation to impose a mandate like this. It goes into effect on December 27, with no testing option, and affects over 184,000 private businesses. It also mandates two vaccine doses, so if you have the one-dose J&J vaccine, it appears you need a booster.Mandating kids: De Blasio will also force children over 5 years old to be vaccinated in order to enter private businesses like restaurants and entertainment facilities. This order goes into place on December 14. Imagine not letting a child into a Mcdonald's or a bowling alley because they haven't been taken an experimental vaccine.The demographics: NYC Council Minority leader Joe Borelli broke it down in terms that Democrats understand - race. He explained that the following people "will be ineligible and legally barred from working in New York City":45% of blacks40% of whites30% of HispanicsWhat happens next: There is a lot of hope that this gets challenged in the courts, similar to Joe Biden's vaccine mandates which a federal appeals court blocked last month citing “grave statutory and constitutional issues.” There is also hope that the new mayor will outright kill de Blasio's mandate when he enters office on January 1. New York Congressman Lee Zeldin summed this up best: "When you dangerously combine a far-left, lame-duck politician, who is anti-business, one-dimensional, unaccountable, not bright and has a perpetual ‘I always know best' attitude, you get Bill de Blasio, the worst mayor in America. There is no way this job-killing, small business-suppressing mandate is legal!”[Source: WSJ, NY Post]https://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/no-jab-no-jobShared byPeter Boykin For Congresshttps://www.facebook.com/BoykinForCongress/#Boykin4Congress BoykinForCongress.com#GoRightNews GoRightNews.com

There is still little data available on the new omicron variant of COVID-19 but that is not stopping some political leaders from implementing new policies and requirements.   New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has issued a vaccine mandate for employees across the city. The Biden administration is restricting travel from some nations while […]

On a brand new Judging Freedom, Judge Andrew Napolitano discusses the news that New York City has set a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private-sector works. This new ‘first in the nation' requirement is scheduled to go into effect on December 27th, says outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. More from CNBC: The new mandate comes after New York identified eight cases of the omicron variant and the United States once again averages 100,000 new, reported cases of the virus every day. It will cover about 184,000 businesses and applies to all in-person employees who work in an office with others. By Dec. 27, unvaccinated employees must have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, de Blasio said. Under the new mandate, unvaccinated employees won't have the option to get tested instead, but the city plans to offer religious and medical exemptions. "We've got omicron as a new factor, we've got the colder weather, which is really going to create additional challenges with the delta variant, we've got holiday gatherings," de Blasio said during his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something bold to stop the further growth of Covid and the dangers it's causing to all of us."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In my previous podcast series on American conservatism, I observed that they have a pattern of jumping into the breach to try to defend their opponents from the consequences of those opponents' own ideology. For example, they defended the school administrators against the student radicals of the 60s when the administrators themselves were liberals implacable hostile to conservatism. In fact, some of those university leaders had previously trashed William F. Buckley over God and Man at Yale.We see this pattern persist into the present, most recently on display last week when New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the city would eliminate gifted and talented programs in the city's public schools. Conservatives were outraged. I discuss this reaction and what it reveals about conservative patterns of behavior.Once More Into the Breach Podcast: https://themasculinist.buzzsprout.com/1330924/8060365-once-more-into-the-breach

David Paterson has a new book, "Black, Blind & In Charge: A Story of Visionary Leadership and Overcoming Adversity." But Paterson, interviewed prior to the election, also talks about why he thinks Donald Trump is a one-term president. In addition, the former governor of New York discusses how his successor in Albany has handled the coronavirus to this point, including the controversy lodged at Governor Andrew Cuomo for the large number of deaths in nursing homes. Paterson also speculates on why Cuomo wrote a book about dealing with a pandemic, when many believe it was a premature victory lap.  He doesn't mince words about the contentious relationship between Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in the midst of a public health crisis.

Using a vehicle as an instrument of terror is nothing new. Over the last decade, extremists proclaiming affiliation with ISIS and other terrorist groups have used trucks and cars to murder pedestrians in London, Barcelona, Nice, Berlin, New York...the list goes on. Recently, however, the United States has seen a new and frightening development with vehicular assaults. These attacks are not random. The targets are protesters using highways and streets to exercise their First Amendment rights, to demand justice, and to call for the reform of policing and other systemically racist institutions. Some of the attacks have been carried out by people affiliated with right-wing hate groups, some by people with no known affiliation, and still others have involved the police themselves. In this episode, Sarah talks with Ari Weil, a University of Chicago Ph.D. student researching vehicular attacks, about this terrifying trend. We also hear from Robert Foster, who was at a protest in Austin, Texas, where a confrontation between a marcher and a driver turned fatal. Support The War on Cars on Patreon.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr issued an emergency order Friday calling for the release of vulnerable federal prisoners into home confinement amid the coronavirus crisis. This news comes as at least 16 states have also released prisoners. We look at the treatment of incarcerated people in New York state, where Governor Andrew Cuomo has yet to grant anyone freedom despite at least 24 confirmed cases among state prisoners. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has said he'll release about 300 people from Rikers Island and other city jails, but advocates are calling for far more to be freed.
