Podcasts about prepare students

In teaching, there are a lot of balancing acts, but none come close to preparing your students for success while NOT teaching to the test. I hear from many of you that struggle with this, and honestly I did as well while I was teaching, but I have since adopted a few philosophies that will help minimize the pressure you feel and start prioritizing what matters most to you in your classroom. In today's episode, I'm sharing two main ways that you can balance “good teaching” and the pressure of getting your students prepared for the test. I discuss how each of the two ideas work off of each other and various ways they can be implemented throughout your instructional resources and activities. ➡️ Full Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode158Resources Mentioned:Core Values Mini-CourseBiology Exam PackPhysical Science Exam PackAnatomy Exam PackChemistry Exam PackDownload your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Send me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Related Episodes:Episode 157, Serving ELLs with AI and MORE With Guest Alyse of Keystone ScienceEpisode 155, How to Create Active and Accountable Learners in Your Secondary Science ClassroomEpisode 104, Using Summative Assessments to Prepare Students for Standardized Tests

Physician Assistant remains one of the fastest growing professions in the US, and the expansion of their role in healthcare delivery seems to be growing just as quickly. One of the biggest changes in that regard, according to Jonathan Bowser of the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, is that states are opening up opportunities for PAs to practice with more autonomy to fill needs in the healthcare system. “That requires PA education programs to think about who are we putting out there, what environments they are going into, and how do we best prepare them for those environments,” says Bowser, who runs the school's Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant Program (CHAPA), one of the oldest PA training programs in the country. The need to adapt their program to these new realities and the desire to take advantage of advances in learning science led CHAPA to overhaul its curriculum in recent years. The result is a ‘spiral curriculum' - an iterative approach to learning that reinforces key concepts and knowledge as students progress through their years of training.  Join host Hillary Acer as she learns about the underpinnings of CHAPA's curricular approach, what the program is doing to prepare PAs to be leaders and the growing importance of residencies and fellowships to prepare PAs to work in clinical specialties. Mentioned in this episode: CHA/PA Program OverviewManaging Transitions by William BridgesMake It Stick by Peter Brown

After we teach a unit, what typically comes immediately after are summative assessments, and there are a lot of different types. Last week, I talked about authentic assessments, which still assess student learning but in a non-traditional way. And even though I value that type of assessment, I still believe in taking traditional tests. In today's episode, I'm sharing how to use your unit test to prepare your students for taking any future standardized test. Giving traditional summative assessments does provide useful information for the teacher, such as personal benchmarks and self-reflection on teaching concepts. But it also benefits students as they learn valuable test-taking strategies for when they take standardized tests or other forms of assessments throughout their educational journey. The five tips I share will specifically help your students with standardized tests as they take your unit tests. Taking summative assessments is completely valuable to both teachers and students, so it's important to highlight the benefits and show that test-taking skills and strategies are valuable. By giving unit tests, you are supporting students and building those skills needed to take standardized tests in the future.

Today we're talking about how a teacher and their students must prepare to navigate the transitions and challenges from one grade to the next. Each school year is filled with its own planning and challenges from kindergarten through 12th grade, and as each student moves from one level to the next the expectation to succeed only grows. So how can a teacher in both a classroom and homeschool setting equip their students to start strong as they navigate lower, middle, and high school level classes. This conversation is great for young teachers and administration to address the challenges facing students as they grow and learn throughout their schooling career.  Interested in learning more about Memoria Press.

PCA Alumni: Sabeen Toranian (‘19), Colson Burchard (‘20), and Sophie Panetti (‘22)   Sabeen recently graduated from The University of Texas at Austin and will be heading to medical school in the fall. Colson will be a senior at Texas A&M University and is studying supply chain management. Sophie just finished her freshman year at The University of Arkansas and is studying apparel merchandising.   Preparing students for college includes far more than just equipping them to be ready and successful academically - which PCA does very well - but also includes preparing students for the college culture from a spiritual perspective as well.   Parents, make sure you get your students plugged into a good Christian ministry and church as soon as possible. Many universities have opportunities for Christian students to meet and connect the summer before their freshman year - the Prestonwood Student Ministry has a great list of outstanding churches and ministries on the campuses of several of the colleges that PCA graduates attend.   Great take-aways: Determine who you want to be before heading off to college - or you will be “tossed to and fro” (Eph. 4:14) by the waves of culture and the winds of change. As a Christian, you can navigate the fraternity/sorority world with integrity of character in your Christian walk. Look for good Christian community - it might be in Greek life, or in a Christian-based community group, or in a church - but you need a solid community to stand boldly for Christ in a hostile environment. While in college, being a camp counselor for a wonderful Christian camp is an amazing experience and can really help a young person grow in their faith as they lead others! Other than the normal Christian camps, there are great Christian organizations that are specifically on college campuses like Student Mobilization. The greatest weapon and opportunity you have as parents to equip, prepare, and fight for your children - in college and beyond - is with prayer! PCA joins you in praying for your students here and as they launch out into the world! Special shout out to Jared Wood for allowing us to use his music - check him out at JaredWoodMusic!

Through its Real World Learning initiative in the Kansas City metropolitan area, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is working to ensure that all students in participating districts graduate from high school with a diploma and at least one market value asset (or MVA). MVAs are designed to prepare students for further education and employment. They can include such activities as completing an internship or employer-sponsored project, earning an industry-recognized credential, engaging in an entrepreneurial experience, or earning college credits. MDRC is the learning and evaluation partner on this project.  In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with Dan Tesfay, senior program officer at the Kauffman Foundation, and Osvaldo Avila, research associate in MDRC's K-12 education policy area. They discuss what it takes to create partnerships between school districts and industries to develop MVAs and what they hope to learn from MDRC's evaluation work.

Isabel De La Cruz does something very few other tutors do: financial literacy for that age-group we call teenagers. It is at this age where the crucial intersection between (lack of) knowledge and responsibility for decisions is at its most strained.On the one hand, teenagers have been given little to no more information than children about finance and banking. And yet, by this age, many have phones, some will have bank accounts and all of them should be aware of how jobs, taxes and so on work.Isabel's background is in Maths, Science and computer programming, and she began tutoring way back in 2008. Since then, her practice has grown hugely, now encompassing her own tutoring business and a Youtube channel dedicated to teaching financial concepts in a simple, informative style.If you want to learn how you can apply this knowledge to your children and students, this is the conversation for you. Framed by the understanding that financial literacy for kids is one of the growing forces in education, Isabel neatly ties in stories and tales from years gone by (agonising and amusing in equal measure) that taught her all she now knows about this area.Enjoy ...Next steps:Check out Isabel's Youtube channel at youtube.com/isabelexplainsBook yourself onto her FREE (for a short time only) Udemy course, Financial Literacy for Teens at udemy.com/course/financeforteensJoin The Qualified Tutor Podcast Group in the Qualified Tutor Community and meet fellow listeners like you!️⭐️ Enjoy the podcast?

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the drive for social justice, have highlighted the need for meaningful change in the U.S. education system. New technologies and social realities are also impacting the aspirations of young people, and our schools have to keep up. As we look towards the future of education, we must think about how to best prepare students for a changing world rather than simply relying on the teaching methods of the past. What methods will allow us to best assess students and reshape public education? How can we improve education when there are barriers to reform? And what should education look like going forward? Dr. Bill Daggett, founder of the Successful Practices Network, joins Kevin to talk about the state of education in America, the issues faced by educators and reformers, and the future of schooling in the United States.

According to a 2018 ACT study, 35 percent of high school graduates showed little or no readiness for college coursework. The COVID slide has made matters worse in the years since. One of the primary goals of our schools is to prepare students for college and a career. So, what can our schools do to ensure more high school graduates are ready for what's next? How can higher education lead more people to a successful career? In this episode, Kevin speaks with John Thrasher, former president of Florida State University, to discuss how our educational system can better prepare students for college success and rewarding careers.

Unless you're clairvoyant, it's impossible to predict exactly what the future will look like for today's children. We can try to predict which industries will grow and which will shrink, what sort of skills might be in demand and what skills will become redundant.  However, at the end of the day, only time will tell.    What we can do in the meantime is equip them with the necessary skills to confidently take on the unpredicted challenges they will face.  Rhys Cassidy is an education futurist obsessed with learning and human development.

Adapted from the celebrated 1998 novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH the musical celebrates the extraordinary in everyday life. BIG FISH tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward's incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra.

When Edward's health begins to decline, Will must decide whether to accept his father's wild stories as truth or risk losing what he is searching for. Overflowing with heart and humor, BIG FISH is an endearing, heart-touching musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that's richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.

Examinations really are the most visible culmination of what we do as teachers.

“Accountability is a mutual commitment to the others' success,” according to Yale Business School. We unpack this idea in the second part of our three-episode interview with author and educator Rick Wormeli. In doing so, we look into using grades as motivators, the difference between sense-making and meaning-making, as well as why we should be open to giving students second chances on assessments.

Stedman Graham and Jeff Selingo join Kevin to discuss how career paths have evolved. They used to be linear—students transitioned from high school to a blue-collar job or to college and a white-collar profession. But in this age of technology, one or even two educational credentials are not enough. Today's workers need to upskill or reskill to remain relevant. How can we transform our education systems to teach the skills of tomorrow? What can students do to future-proof their careers? And how can we become a nation of lifelong learners? Stedman, an educator and businessperson, explains the importance of identity leadership, and Jeff, a NYT best-selling author, shares how students should prepare for the jobs of tomorrow.

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Chris Kayes, professor of management and faculty director of the Master of Human Resource Management program at GWSB, as well as several of his students about the different options we offer to those who wish to pursue a career in human resources, human capital management, or leadership.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Breakout EDU.The webinar recording can be accessed here. Educators are eager to create 21st-century skilled, self-directed learners—but what needs to be in place for that to be successful? How can educators move from classroom learning that is unconnected from students' lived experiences and create opportunities for students to use their skills and knowledge to lead their learning? In this edWeb podcast, educator and researcher Julie Stern and edtech expert and educator Maria Arfanakis discusses how schools can shift their focus from teaching to the standards to teaching for learning transfer. The presenters share more about what learning transfer is and how educators can use it to design equitable learning experiences that are meaningful and engaging. Educators learn how the right instructional moves, such as discussion-focused collaborative games, create a perfect conduit to harness students' prior learning and experiences, move students toward expertise, and improve students' social-emotional learning. The conversation addresses the practical steps educators can take to move from a teacher-controlled to a student-led classroom, how leaders can encourage their staff to prioritize the instructional behaviors that maximize student learning while preparing students to tackle the complex challenges in their careers, and how centralizing learning transfer has the power to transform schools into vibrant laboratories of learning and problem solving. This edWeb podcast is of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of all grade levels. Breakout EDU Increase lesson review engagement with Breakout EDU games!

#Education #MentalHealthCrisis #Reform Hello Everyone, Welcome to our video on Education this week. This week we are going to open up a broader discussion on the relationship that has developed between our Educational System and Mental Health. More specifically, how the majority of mental health issues develop or are pinpointed within a classroom setting. Even more specifically, how children as young as 6 (and sometimes younger), are introduced to their first prescription drug because an educator decided that their behaviour is ill-suited for a classroom environment. As such, many adults today have cultivated lifelong prescription dependencies as a result of their inability to conform to a classroom setting. This is a huge point of contention for me, and I hope, once you review the research, you'll see why. We will be doing a series of videos during our week on Education to properly address all the reasons why we need to create more distance between the Educational and Mental Health spheres within our societies. *RESOURCES* - The State of Mental Health in U.S. Educators: https://www.starlingminds.com/the-state-of-mental-health-in-u-s-educators/ - Fast Facts About Mental Illness: https://cmha.ca/fast-facts-about-mental-illness - It's time for universities to put student mental health first: https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2017/sep/07/its-time-for-universities-to-put-student-mental-health-first - We Need to Prepare Students for Post-Secondary Mental Health Struggles: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/graham-baldwin/post-secondary-mental-health_b_16959220.html - Demand for youth mental health services is exploding.

Freelancing is not something new, it is a trend for some years already. It mainly means career pursuing without being tied to a single employer. What a freelancer does is contract work. If freelancing is not fairly new, why don't we have the universities integrating the practice of freelancing in their curriculum? Why can't we be taught during our university years how to find our skills, how to price our services, how to acquire clients, how to negotiate and how to test and trial our freelance business? Just imagine that in 2020, Upwork contributed to the US economy with $1.2 trillion dollars. Trillions! Now imagine how many people are freelancing and how many of them actually had to cruise in this world by themselves until they figured this out. In this episode, you will… - Learn why universities should support students in choosing to become freelancers - Understand where the educational system stands in support of the job market Insights: - ‘'Maybe the educational system should rethink that universities' career staff should be trained on providing advice on freelance work. And if a person chose between a traditional job and a freelance once, at least he/she had all the resources and information before taking this decision.'' - ‘' We are taught how to get a traditional job, how to be loyal to an employee, how to dedicate ourselves and our time to succeed in a workplace., how to follow rules but rarely how to create those rules. But we are not taught how to dedicate our time to succeed individually, how to navigate in this gig economy that for sure in 2021 will expand even quicker.''

IBM executive Naguib Attia was facing a difficult task. It was January 2014 and in his role as Chief Technology Officer, Naguib was involved in a project in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). There  was a lack of talent in the region to deliver on a particular project’s objectives. To address this challenge, he considered the following question: how can I take an individual and after just six months, prepare that person for an IBM career? Naguib convinced his senior level colleagues that he could leverage his background in academia and experience as a practitioner to create an educational experience that would deliver on this ambitious goal.  As Naguib explained on this podcast, the plan worked. He created a practical experience that not only developed the talent for this particular project in the MENA region, but also laid the groundwork for what is now a global educational initiative that has enabled IBM to address the skills gap in the marketplace. After 11 years as CTO of IBM’s Industrial Sector, Naguib was appointed VP of Global University Programs. As part of this initiative, IBM partners with institutions to provide technology, support research and create assets to advance relevant skills for today’s workforce. To date, 68,000 people have been trained worldwide. “We want to take an individual from point A to point B – be a practitioner – in areas like data and cloud computing,” he said. “We provide background to understand the topic. We give them the opportunity to understand the tools of the field and we provide hands-on experiences.” According to Naguib, IBM doesn’t replace faculty content, but rather complements it through a partnership. This could involve coaching faculty, embedding IBM’s content in existing curriculum and providing some 2,900 IBM subject matter experts who are available to be guest lecturers in classrooms around the world.  “It is a matter of survival – companies need expertise,” he said. “What does the future of each country hold if you don’t have talent?” As an example of impact, Naguib points to a university in Kenya in which the students earned their digital badges – credentials showcasing earned skills – even before their professors. The students shared with Naguib at a ceremony that the course experiences inspired them to take action and start a company around data security. Regardless of what industry a student wishes to pursue, it is imperative that they have an entrepreneurial and innovative mindset. To develop this, Naguib advises that students “get outside of the box or curriculum. Explore the world behind the course title and collaborate with students across different disciplines. When you have this interaction, it creates the spark for you to innovate. The world doesn’t revolve around you; it revolves around the collaboration with others.”   Learn more about IBM’s Global University Programs at the following link.

Naguib Attia, an executive for IBM, was facing a difficult task. In his role as Chief Technology Officer back in January 2014, he was involved in a project in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). There simply was a lack of talent in the region to deliver on a particular project's goals. To address this dilemma, he considered the following question: how can I take an individual and after just six months, prepare that person for a career at IBM? Naguib convinced his senior level colleagues that he could leverage his background in academia and experience as a practitioner to create an educational experience that would deliver on this ambitious goal. As Naguib explained on episode 14 of the Informational Interview 2.0 podcast, the plan worked.

In this installment, Ben Klutsey talks with Dr. Ilana Redstone, Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and founder of Diverse Perspectives Consulting. We dig into the epistemic question of how we know what we know and the usefulness of respecting viewpoint diversity by focusing on Dr. Redstone's new course, Bigots and Snowflakes: Living in a World Where Everyone Else is Wrong, and her forthcoming book, Unassailable Ideas: How Unwritten Rules and Social Media Shape Discourse in American Higher Education. The audio, as well as the transcript of this conversation between Klutsey and Redstone, has been slightly edited for clarity. Love the show?

Partnering with Higher Education to Prepare Students for a Career in Cybersecurity Being associated with an advisory committee gives you a lot of freedom to really create the programs a future CISO needs to be hirable right out of school. The committee is able to see what classes need to be added to the curriculum, or if more classes aren’t plausible seminars are always an option. By being part of a larger advisory committee you can brainstorm with members from different industries and create an entire program from what you learn works in other industries.     The Biggest Issues With Being Hired Right Out Of School  Education is huge when it comes to being prepared for a job. Years of dedicated study and focus should not be taken lightly.  However, some aspects of the job that can’t be taught from a lesson plan, you just have to get out there in the industry. There are certifications that can be obtained after graduating, but real life experience is irreplaceable.  Internships, and job shadowing are great ways to get that experience while still completing your education.     Advice To A Young CISO  Don’t be afraid to take risks, get out there and align yourself with the right people. Go get that certification, ask to be mentored by someone you admire, learn from those who are ready to help. Don’t live too cautiously with your career, you can always build yourself back up.     Finding A Mentor Or Mentee  There are many ways to find a mentor in the age of technology. There may be someone within your company that can mentor you, but don’t limit yourself to that. Linkedin is a great resource for finding a mentor. You can also look at other companies with in your industry. On finding a mentee, just be open to teaching someone what you know about the industry, they may end up being an employee of your company in the future.     The Importance Of Presenting Your Knowledge  Being able to get up there and show your knowledge within the industry is so important. When you get to show what all you’ve been working for and get feedback from your peers on the subject, you really put yourself out there in a unique way. It can be very gratifying to share your knowledge and experience with others, whether you are speaking about problems or solutions.     Redundancy Within The Industry   There are many point solutions that don’t let us get to the root of the problem quickly. For a solution product to be effective there needs to be better communication between the product producers and the CISO so the products will remain relevant within the industry. If there are too many programs trying to get the same result, you know you have an efficiency problem and it’s time re-evaluate.     Discovering The Big Picture   Having a real and candid conversation about what you need to do your job effectively is very helpful. For a product to work effectively the producers need to know who is using it and why. Invest in products that have teams who are willing to learn about your specific pain points and needs as a CISO.  There needs to be more consultation between the CISO and VAR.     What Being A New CISO Means To Marc  It has evolved so much over the years; the CISO has a bigger responsibility than ever before. There are so many ways the CISO is being pulled in their modern environment that a serious hands-on approach is necessary. Understanding business, your peers, and technical enough to understand the scope of the entire company are key elements in being a modern CISO.     Resources:  Steve Moore: Linkedin  Marc Crudgington: Linkedin  Woodforest Bank: Website  Exabeam: Website 

Is Dumbledore really to blame for the flaws in the wizarding world? Should he have done better? After last week's podcast with writer Ariella Yashar, airing out her beef with the great Albus Dumbledore, huge Potterhead and patron Lireza Elezaj comes to his defense with very compelling arguments. He is a powerful wizard, but not a deity, so he doesn't know everything that is going on in Hogwarts; his hiring practices are inclusive, look at the big picture and are oftentimes restricted by reality, and he knows that young wizards need to go through trials and tribulations to be prepared for the wizarding world, knowing and controlling their powers. Gil Kidron waves a white flag, apologizes to the great Dumbledore and tries to repent.

Discussing controversial, difficult topics in the classroom can lead to powerful insights and skill development; yet, too often, these conversations dissolve into unproductive debates and shouting matches, undermining learning and damaging the classroom environment. Alone, faculty and teachers may not be able to navigate these difficult moments. Yet, if we teach students the skills and capacities to notice their hot buttons, avoid knee-jerk reactions, de-escalate triggered emotions, and intentionally choose how to respond, together, we can turn triggering events into productive learning moments. Come join me and Dr. Abby Ferber as we explore practical strategies and tips to proactively prepare students to more effectively engage each other during challenging, difficult conversations in the classroom.

There is a lot of talk these days about robots replacing humans in the workforce, but those conversations remain largely abstract. For students in school today, however, the issue is urgent, research shows. What if the job they aspire to today is no longer an option when it comes time to graduate? How can they train for jobs that don’t even exist yet? On the other side of that equation are educators, who often draw from their own learning experiences in K-12 and higher education to inform their instruction. What responsibility do they have in preparing today’s students for a future none of them can really envision? EdSurge recently sat down with Karen Cator, the CEO of Digital Promise, to get her take. Cator is a former director of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology who has been championing digital learning since long before the term “digital learning” was being thrown around—back when she was still a classroom teacher in Alaska. Of all the issues and trends in edtech these days, she says automation is one of the most pressing—and one that all educators should be thinking about.
