Podcasts about opportunity areas

In this episode of Coaching Conversations, I explore the impactful coaching program developed by Nicola O'Keeffe, Debbie Briggs, Becky Prescott-Mail, and Ceri Boyle from New College Doncaster. Their focus is on equipping students with essential knowledge and metacognitive skills for outstanding performance in national qualifications. The coaches discuss their commitment to building a common language around learning, emphasizing explicit teaching of metacognitive skills. They share insights into incorporating evidence on memory and learning into actionable principles for exceptional student progress. The conversation highlights a culture of continuous improvement among teachers, with personalized CPD targeting high-impact areas. New College challenges the input/output myth, emphasizing that true learning involves a lasting change in the brain's structure. Discover how they teach for learning, creating challenging yet supportive environments and fostering deep teacher subject knowledge.I'd love to hear your feedback about my weekly Coaching Conversations.

MS research scientist Dr. Jeffrey Huang is this year's recipient of the Harry Weaver Neuroscience Scholar Award from the National MS Society. On this week's podcast, we're talking with Dr. Huang about his potentially groundbreaking research, and we'll even ask him how one becomes an MS research scientist.   We're also talking about the lectures, presentations, and education sessions that took place last week at the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers Annual Meeting. We'll explain why we don't think that MS caregivers need more support resources -- and we'll tell you what we think they do need. We'll tell you about a possible connection between stress, gut bacteria, and MS. We'll explain how a research team determined  that simvastatin (Zocor) may help people living with MS differently than it helps people lower their cholesterol. And you'll hear about a new collaboration that may lead to better clinical trials.
