In the second part of the podcast with Lisa Burman, the discussion centres on the concept of student agency and its direct link to teacher agency. Lisa emphasises that educators play a crucial role in shaping learning experiences, and how a teacher's sense of agency directly affects students' ability to take ownership of their learning.Teacher Agency as the Foundation for Student AgencyLisa reflects on her teaching career in the 1980s when teachers had more freedom to design learning experiences tailored to their students' needs. She stresses that teachers should view students as individuals developing identities—as readers, writers, scientists, or mathematicians—rather than just teaching specific subjects. However, she notes that increased educational pressures today risk undermining this sense of agency.The Bigger Picture: Education and DemocracyLisa connects student and teacher agency with democratic values, referencing Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which affirms children's right to have a say in matters that affect them. She argues that for true student agency to thrive, teachers must feel empowered to make instructional decisions. However, some educational systems restrict this freedom, hindering creativity and students' development of agency.Agency and Wellbeing: Lessons from the PandemicThe conversation turns to the impact of agency on wellbeing. Reflecting on the pandemic, Lisa points out how restrictions led to feelings of helplessness, similar to how students feel in rigid, formulaic teaching environments. Teachers play a key role in creating spaces where students feel their voices matter.Leadership's Role and Small ChangesLisa encourages teachers to introduce small changes, even in controlled settings, and suggests taking a professional stance with leadership to promote student agency. By focusing on student interests and co-constructing classroom routines, teachers can foster a learning culture where students become engaged, purposeful learners. JOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific  today.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Jethro Jones engages in a profound discussion with Sean Slade, co-head of North America at BTS Spark, about reevaluating traditional perceptions of leadership, particularly around the management of emotions. Sean challenges the archetype of the stoic, emotionless leader, suggesting that vulnerability, emotion, and personal connection are crucial elements for effective leadership, especially highlighted by observations from the first year of the pandemic. The conversation delves into how leaders who embraced their humanity, admitting uncertainty and fostering relationships, tended to succeed more. Drawing on a study and the insights from the book Embracing MESSY Leadership, Sean emphasizes the critical role of emotions in building trust, cultivating teamwork, and enhancing problem-solving capacities. He argues for a shift from controlling to exercising and utilizing emotions as strategic tools in leadership. The podcast also touches on the practical aspects of having difficult conversations and the importance of authenticity, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness in leadership roles. Sean concludes by underscoring the evolving understanding of leadership as beyond a series of tasks, advocating for emotional adeptness as a key leadership skill.Maybe the emotionless leader is not quite correct. MESSY Leadership came out of the pandemicThe leaders who were able to make personal connections, build relationships and show vulnerability did quite well. Exercise your emotion rather than controlling your emotions.Admit uncertaintyPose questions back to teamHigh level of self-awareness and self-confidenceEveryone wants to feel like they matter and they want to belong. You are part of this community. Don't we want to be authentic ourselves?Get communication cards.Leadership as a series of tasks and duties. Making people feel happy on a surface level. What's putting you in the box? And how do you get out of it? Leadership is not a series of checklists. Links:Sean Slade's website: https://www.seanslade.com/ MESSY LeadershipJethro's Communication Cards: https://www.jethrojones.com/communication-cards About Sean SladeSean is the Co-Head of North America at BTS Spark.

Are you a neurodivergent SLP or OT thinking about starting your own private practice? This episode of Private Practice Success Stories is for you! I sat down with Alex Green, a speech-language pathologist with a private practice called Green Family Therapies in La Verne, California. She grew up watching her mom work as a school-based SLP and fell in love with the field, but decided to start her private practice after being in an unsupportive work environment.In this episode, Alex talks about how she almost left the field entirely after her clinical fellowship year where she felt exploited, overworked, and unsupported. She discusses how her daughter was the key to discovering her own ADHD diagnosis, and how having a clinical director has helped her maintain work-life balance as a neurodivergent SLP. In 2022, Alexandria Green, MS, CCC-SLP, a seasoned entrepreneur and private practice owner, experienced a pivotal moment. Drawing from her 11-year journey in communication disorders and inspired by the collaborative spirit that defined her SLP community, she envisioned a platform to amplify the collective wisdom of Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs). Motivated by her personal challenges as an undiagnosed neurodivergent ADHDer and a desire for work-life harmony, Alexandria founded the SLP Link. This dynamic platform serves as a haven where SLPs from diverse settings unite, share direct-access resources, and collectively elevate their practices through a supportive and collaborative community.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:What led Alex to start a private practiceHow she got her first clientHow Alex grew her private practice from nothing up to hiring over 10 therapistsHow she transitioned to virtual therapy during the pandemicThe power of having a strong team as a large private practice owner with ADHDHow Alex changed her life and business after her diagnosisWhy private practice is perfect for people with ADHD I hope you enjoyed this episode with Alex! I love how she learned how to work with her neurodivergence, not against it. The field of SLP is evolving and making progress when it comes to neurodivergence, and Alex is part of that change.If you would like to know more about our Programs and how we help support SLPs and OTs who want our help to start and grow their practices, please visit www.IndependentClinician.com/Resources.Whether you want to start a private practice or grow your existing private practice, I can help you get the freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and financial abundance that you deserve.

In this episode, we delve into the details of a landmark settlement in California, where a $2 billion fund has been allocated to address the learning loss experienced by students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This historic agreement, known as the Kala J. settlement, aims not only to recoup the losses suffered by students but also to narrow the opportunity gaps that existed even before the pandemic, particularly for Black and Latino communities. Led by the Public Council and other organizations, this settlement is poised to bring about significant changes in the education landscape, focusing on evidence-based programs and new legislation.However, amidst the optimism, there are concerns about how this settlement will be implemented and whether it will truly benefit all students, including those with disabilities who often face additional challenges. As attorneys who specialize in education law, we examine the implications of this settlement and the potential hurdles that lie ahead. Join us as we explore the intricacies of this groundbreaking agreement and its impact on the future of education in California.Show Highlights:Introduction to the historic settlement in California, focusing on learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemicThe settlement, not a special education case, aims to address learning loss across demographics.Public Council and other organizations led the lawsuit, emphasizing the need to close opportunity gaps for black and brown studentsThe $2 billion settlement will not directly go to families but will fund evidence-based programs and propose new legislation.Concerns are raised about public perception, potential lack of consideration for kids having IEPs, and the need for effective implementation of programsThe settlement earmarks existing funds for specific use, requiring legislative action and potential challenges in enforcement and implementation.Links/Resources:Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org Thank you for listening!

Has someone ever told you to calm down?It's one of the most aggravating statements ever.Recently, I was having a conversation with my husband, Mayer, and things were getting a little heated. Before things got out of hand, I wanted to regulate myself so I could operate from a more level mindset. Instead of giving me the space to work through my emotions, Mayer decided it would be helpful in that moment to say "Calm down. It's not a big deal."When in the history of the world has it ever been helpful to tell someone to calm down?So I responded snarkily, "Okay, get taller. Just grow 5 more inches. It's not a big deal."Predictably, Mayer was confused. Of course, he couldn't do what I was asking.But here's the thing—neither could I!In the same way that Mayer couldn't grow 5 inches in a matter of seconds, I couldn't regulate myself at that very moment. Emotional regulation is a process that takes time.Why am I telling you this?Because the next time you see your staff on the receiving end of an upset parent's rampage, I want you to think twice before you tell them not to take it personally.The parenting landscape has changed drastically over the last several years, and your teachers deserve more than being told to calm down when dealing with the modern challenges of parent partnerships.They need you to step up and create an environment where they feel supported and empowered to foster meaningful relationships with parents in this new climate.This week's podcast episode is the second in a four-part series that breaks down the 2024 forecast for early childhood education.

Nestled in a valley in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder, CO, is often referred to as the fitness capital of the US. So it was a bit surprising to Phil Dumontet, a young East Coast entrepreneur moving to Boulder in 2017 to launch his smoothie bar business, to realize that Boulder, in all its glorious outdoorsy-ness and obsession with fitness, lacked a first-rate city marathon.For most people, that would have been just a passing thought. But not to Phil, who made giving Boulder the downtown marathon it deserves a personal passion project.Fast forward a few years and a pandemic later, and Boulderthon, as the race got to be called, has grown into Colorado's largest fall race series. And today, with Phil's help, we'll be tracing Boulderthon's remarkable growth journey, looking at the decisions and tactics that got it to where it is today, including the deliberate effort that went into creating alliances with local businesses and the local community, the insistence on including a marketing component to all partnership agreements with sponsors and external stakeholders, and Phil's unrelenting focus on tracking ROI across the entirety of the event's marketing spend, from online campaigns and podcast ads to distributing flyers and working with running influencers. In this episode:Identifying opportunities in an over-saturated running event marketPlanning an inaugural event during the pandemicThe importance of sustainable growth: capping participant numbers to preserve event quality and race experienceWinning over the city, businesses and the local community Managing the disruption of bringing a marathon to Boulder's busy downtownRace marketing 101: starting with the product and leaning into your race's unique strengthsUsing runner feedback to hone your race experience and marketing message"Be where your runners are": promoting your race online and offlineUsing coupons and dedicated registration links to measure ROI in grassroots marketingLaying out year-round marketing campaigns on a marketing calendarSeeking out and structuring win-win partnerships with local businesses, from gyms to cocktail barsCross-marketing: the secret ingredient in cash and in-kind sponsorshipsAdvertising on running podcasts and partnering with running micro-influencersMaking the case for race announcersIncluding man-hours in your marketing campaign ROIAttracting volunteer groups with branded aid stationsThanks to RunSignup for supporting quality content for race directors by sponsoring this episode.

For this week on the Crossing Borders podcast, we're revisiting one of our greatest hits episodes featuring Luis Rubén Chávez, founder and CEO of Parco.As an intern at a law firm, Juan hated parking in cash-only parking lots. After having to go to the ATM or getting countless parking tickets, he thought there had to be a better way. In 2016, Parco was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and has since expanded into 28 cities across the country. Parco allows parking lot operators to install a software system to their existing parking systems for consumers to pay using a credit card via the Parco app. Users can also pay for parking tickets and get information about their driving history. In this episode, we discuss how Parco is changing how the parking business operates and improving people's lives across Latin America. We talk about his journey from working at a law firm to becoming a full-time tech entrepreneur and how the pandemic accelerated the company's growth. From law firm employee to full-time entrepreneurJuan knew nothing about the tech business world when he started Parco, but he did know a problem when he saw one. Juan drove a car to run errands for his job at a law firm in Guadalajara, and parking was a nightmare because parking lots only accepted cash. After a few costly parking tickets, Juan pitched the Parco idea to his boss, who thought it was a great idea and said he was willing to invest. In this episode of Crossing Borders, Juan talks us through his experience creating a company with zero experience to building a startup that plans to scale to multiple Latin American countries.Creating an easy and transparent way for people to pay for parking in Latin America Before Parco, parking meant long lines, carrying cash, or walking to an ATM to take out cash if you didn't have any with you. Today, Parco allows people to pay for their parking via an app, which is 10x better than waiting in line or running back into a mall to search for an ATM.Parco also generates user demographics and data for operators to understand how users behave and how often they park while providing transparency and safety.Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to learn more about how Parco provides more revenue to parking operators and why they chose to be a software vendor instead of hardware.Scaling Parco in Mexico during the pandemicThe pandemic was a before and after for Parco. Before the pandemic, Parco had only launched in 8 cities. Since then, the Parco team launched 20 more cities remotely.The pandemic not only accelerated the parking industry's digitization but also changed the way Parco interacts with customers. The app quickly transitioned from an added value to a necessity. In this episode, Juan shares with us how the pandemic became a milestone for Parco because of how they learned to scale and expand.

Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/an-essential-workers-history-of-the-pandemicThe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic devastated the working class from the start. Those deemed "essential workers" in the service, medical, transportation, agriculture, and other sectors were hit particularly hard. While the sacrifices of workers were paid lip service in the early days of the pandemic, the rhetoric rapidly shifted towards denunciations of a "labor shortage" as worker resistance mounted with time. As the capitalist class continues to espouse a dominant narrative of the pandemic that insists that the worst is over and workers ought to accept diminished real wages and deteriorating conditions, the need for a counterhistory of COVID-19 becomes increasingly urgent. At a joint book event hosted by Red Emma's in Baltimore, sociologist Jamie K. McCallum and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sat down to discuss the effects of the pandemic on the working class as told through their respective books, Essential and The Work of Living.Post-production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

When Krista Drobac first started thinking about home-based health care, she assumed that the biggest barriers to adoption would be cultural. But she quickly learned that policy was the problem.And then came COVID-19. Regulations were loosened, and we were allowed to experiment with caring for patients at home. So, how do we convince policymakers to preserve the advances in home-based care made during the pandemic and change the rules for good?Krista serves as Partner at Sirona Strategies, Executive Director of the Alliance for Connected Care and Founder of Moving Health Home,  a coalition working to change policy to enable the home to be a clinical site of care. Krista has 25 years of experience in federal and state government policy and public affairs, and she consults on Medicare, Medicaid, digital health, social determinants of health and new care models. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Krista joins hosts Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Dr. Gautam Gulati and Dr. Jordan Schlain to explore the innovations in hospital-at-home and SNF-at-home we achieved during the pandemic. Krista discusses who benefits most from home-based care (and who might want to opt out) and describes how providers can identify environmental risks when they're in a patient's home. Listen in to understand why Krista advocates for value-based reimbursement models and learn what you can do to help persuade legislators to embrace home-based care. Topics CoveredThe regulatory barriers to moving health care into the home prior to the pandemicHow Moving Health Home was launched to preserve the innovation and advances in home-based care made during COVIDWho benefits most from home-based care and who might want to opt outWhat the hospital-at-home model looks like and how it took off during the pandemicThe regulatory challenges Moving Home Health faces in executing SNF-at-homeHow home-based care allows providers to identify environmental risksWhy value-based care reimbursement models are more appropriate for home-based care than fee-for-serviceHow home-based care might improve a patient's mental and emotional healthWhy we need a large-scale demonstration of the benefits of home-based care to change policyThe power of patient voice in convincing legislatures and hospital systems to embrace home-based careHow we might incentivize or persuade Americans to choose healthy foodHow the social determinants of health or SDOH are influenced by policy Connect with Krista DrobacMoving Health Home Connect with Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Dr. Gautam Gulati & Dr. Jordan ShlainHLTHDr. Shepherd on TwitterDr. Shepherd on LinkedInDr. Gulati on TwitterDr. Gulati on LinkedInDr. Shlain on TwitterDr. Shlain on LinkedIn ResourcesAmerica's Essential HospitalsCMS COVID WaiversMoving Health Home StudiesWhite House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and HealthSocial Determinants of Health
