In the second episode of a special four-part Science of Reading: The Podcast adolescent literacy miniseries, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Julie Burtscher Brown, Ed.D. a PreK–12 literacy facilitator. Julie talks about how she and her colleagues built a whole-school literacy initiative from the ground up, and what three years of data about it then revealed. Together, she and Susan also discuss why a few targeted, evidence-based practices (not sweeping overhauls) were what actually moved the needle for Julie's students; how content-area teachers can begin supporting literacy without reinventing their lessons; and what real, measurable change can look like at the secondary level when a whole school commits to the same practices. Show notes:Our Summer Learning Academy is back!

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Conscious Discipline.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.Many districts have strong MTSS and PBIS frameworks in place—yet still struggle with inconsistent implementation, staff burnout, and limited behavior change. This edWeb podcast explores why strategy alone isn't the issue—and what's truly missing. Through the lens of the Conscious Discipline model, listeners examine how an adult-first, brain-based practice transforms tiered systems from something we plan into something we live every day.Rather than adding another initiative, this session focuses on how regulation, connection, and intentional daily practices create the conditions for Tier 1 to actually work—reducing the need for higher-level interventions.

Drew & Garden System chat with Jaime Pollack, founder of An Infinite Mind, to discuss her discovery of multiplicity, getting a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder, and her incredible healing journey that led to the creation of An Infinite Mind and the formation of the Healing Together conference. Jaime Pollack lives in Central Florida where she works as a district Pre-K special education resource teacher. She also works part-time as an in-home early interventionist for special needs children aged birth to three. In 2005, she was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) resulting from childhood trauma. Jaime searched for support only to find there were very limited resources available. Her efforts to find support for herself led her to seek out other survivors living with the disorder. As she found others living with DID, she witnessed firsthand the challenges they shared and decided to shift her focus to help others, like herself, living with DID. Her passion to help others led to the creation of An Infinite Mind in January of 2008. Thank you to our sponsors:An Infinite MindHealing Selves TherapeuticsFollow us on Instagram: @acoupleofmultiples, @note_to_selves, @seidi_gardensystemFollow us on TikTok: @seidi_gardensystem, @note_to_selvesFollow us on Facebook: A Couple of Multiples - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556823127239 Visit our website: acoupleofmultiples.com to sign up for our mailing list, join our private, on-line community Hearts Multiplied, register for peer coaching, consultations, and workshops!Remember, this podcast is not a substitute for therapy.

As another homeschool year draws to a close, it's tempting to simply exhale, set the books aside, and let all thoughts of structured learning drift away on the spring breeze. After all, by the time April and May roll around, homeschooling parents everywhere are due for a break. In this episode of the podcast, we explore how this season is also a powerful time to reflect, regroup, and get inspired for the year ahead.   Key Takeaways Reflect with Confidence: Ditch the "did we do enough?" guilt—focus on what worked, what didn't, and what truly lit your child up. Curriculum Is a Tool, Not the Boss: The best curriculum is the one you'll actually use, adapts to your family, and fits your child, not the flashiest or priciest option. Embrace Flexibility: Every year—and every kid—is different. Adjust your plans, pace, and expectations to match where your kids are right now. Prioritize Connection Over Perfection: Real learning happens through relationship, curiosity, and engagement, not just finishing every page or project. Trust Your Expertise: You know your child better than any expert or catalog. Tune in to your instincts—you're the right person for this job.
