Throwback Thursday! Rethinking Black History featuring Dr. LaGarrett KingOriginally Released On: 2-12-2021This week, we're revisiting one of our timeless episodes from Leading Out The Woods! In this episode. Takeaways from this classic:Dr. King discusses the importance of black history and how to properly reframe its instruction in k12. Dr. King provides strategies on how to incorporate black history education in your daily history/social studies instruction.Whether you're hearing it for the first time or revisiting a classic, this conversation is packed with insights that still resonate today.

As regular listeners may know, in my free time, I'vbe been  researching Japanese washi. I'm looking for the "perfect paper," something that I can return to again and again in my own prints. It hasn't been straightforward. There's a lot of washi out there. A lot to test. A lot to understand. The search continues.   I'd like to introduce  you to a papermaking community in Saitama Prefecture, Japan — Ogawa Washi. In Ogawa and Higashi-Chichibu, papermakers have been producing washi for over 1,300 years with studios continuing  to operate there today.   I had the opportunity  to speak with Seiko Musashi; Ogawa washi exporter, art program coordinator, translator, about the history of the area, who is making paper now, and how these paper maing studios continue even as generations change and family lines shift.   We also talk about how Ogawa connects outward. In the past few years they've hosted longer, week-long workshops in mokuhanga and washi making. Including groups from RMIT University, University of Massachusetts Lowell, and earlier visits from the University of California Santa Cruz through connections with Terry McKenna and his Karuizawa Mokuhanga School. It's one of the ways this small papermaking community stays active and engaged with artists from outside of Japan.   Seiko has dedicated much of her life to sharing Ogawa's washi beyond Japan — and in our conversation, we reflect on what the future might look like for communities like Ogawa. Please follow The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast and my own mokuhanga work on my website andrezadoroznyprints.com Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com   Artists works follow after the note if available.

On this week's Education Nation podcast, we turned our attention to one of the pinch points of our education system, perhaps the most pressurised and least understood roles in Irish education: school leadership. More specifically, the conversation focused on the lived reality of principals and deputy principals in post-primary schools.Our guest, Rachel O'Connor, a long-standing advocate for school leaders, painted a picture of a profession that is deeply committed, increasingly complex, and now facing challenges that would have been unimaginable even a decade ago.In her current role as Deputy Director of the National Association of Principals and Deputies, Rachel certainly has her finger on the pulse.

School Safety Today podcast, presented by Raptor Technologies.In this episode of Principals of Change, host Dr. Amy Grosso sits down with D'Jon Pitchford, Assistant Principal at Kelly Lane Middle School in Pflugerville ISD, to explore what school safety really means. Pitchford reframes safety as more than physical security—emphasizing trust, restorative practices, campus culture, and the importance of allowing both students and staff to be human. Through candid stories and practical leadership insights, the conversation highlights how belonging, consistency, and relationship-repair form the foundation of truly safe schools.D'Jon Pitchford is an Assistant Principal at Kelly Lane Middle School in Pflugerville ISD, where he is deeply committed to creating safe, supportive, and relationship-centered school environments. His career in education began after early work with the Boys & Girls Clubs, where he developed a passion for early intervention and youth development. Pitchford has served in multiple roles across elementary and middle school settings. A former middle school science teacher and coach in football, basketball, and track, he brings both instructional and leadership perspectives to his work.Key Points1. School safety goes beyond locks and drills — students must feel safe, trusted, and supported to learn.2. Restorative practices build accountability through relationships, not punishment alone.3. Healthy campus culture starts with leaders modeling humanity, flexibility, and trust.

Primary teachers are the last on the list in the education sector, still to strike a pay deal with the Government. Primary principals have accepted a cumulative 2.5% immediate pay rise and another 2.1% next year. It introduces a $15 thousand curriculum-change allowance, recognising their work implementing reforms. Education Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking teachers want the Treaty of Waitangi acknowledged and increased learning support.

Athruithe ar mheasúnú cáinte ag príomhoidí scoileanna speisialta. The Government’s decision to remove the requirement that a child must have a formal diagnosis of a specific disability to be enrolled in a special school has been criticised by principals of those schools. Tá cinneadh an Rialtais fáil réidh leis an riachtanas a bhíodh ann go mbeadh diagnóis fhoirmeálta de mhíchumas ar leith ag gasúr le clárú i scoil speisialta cáinte ag príomhoidí ar na scoileanna sin. The National Association of Special School Principals (NASSP) says a crucial part of the registration process has been sidelined and will undermine schools’ professional judgement on the appropriate placement and the most favourable learning outcomes for students. Deir Cumann na bPríomhoidí Scoileanna Speisialta (an NASSP) go bhfuil mír chinniúnach den phróiseas clárúcháin curtha go leataobh agus go ndéanfar dochar de bhreith ghairmiúil scoileanna ar an socrúchán cuí agus na torthaí foghlamtha is fabhraí do dhaltaí. The new regime was announced in December by the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley. Mí na Nollag a d’fhógair an tAire Leanaí, Míchumais agus Comhionannais Norma Foley an réimeas nua. The Minister said at the time that the Department was making the amendment to ensure that a child would have the support they needed, and to reduce the time spent on assessment. Dúirt an tAire ag an am gur chun a chinntiú go mbeadh an tacaíocht atá ag teastáil ó ghasúr, agus chun an t-am a chaitear ar mheasúnú a laghdú, a bhí an leasú á dhéanamh ag an Roinn. But the Principals’ Association says the decision was announced without consulting special schools at all. Ach deir Cumann na bPríomhoidí gur fógraíodh an cinneadh gan a ghabháil i gcomhairle in aon chor le scoileanna speisialta. NASSP Co-Chair Matt Swain says that “the capacity of special schools to plan and provide for and care for vulnerable children has been undermined.” Deir ComhChathaoirleach an NASSP Matt Swain go bhfuil “an bonn bainte de chumas scoileanna speisialta tabhairt faoi phleanáil agus soláthar agus cúram pháistí leochaileacha. “A professional report on a child’s ability is essential evidence to ensure that a student is placed in the most appropriate school setting.” Is bun-fhianaise í tuarascáil ghairimiúil ar chumas páiste le cinntiú go socraítear dalta san suíomh scolaíochta is oiriúnaigh.” The Association says that schools may now have to accept students without the school fully understanding the student’s diagnosis, developmental profile, or support needs, which would increase the risk of inappropriate placement. Deir an Cumann go mb’fhéidir go mbeadh ar scoileanna glacadh anois le daltaí gan tuiscint iomlán ag an scoil ar dhiagnóis, ná próifíl forbartha, ná riachtanais tacaíochta an dalta, rud a chuirfeadh leis an mbaol go ndéanfaí socrúchán míchuí. They say it would also disrupt team planning, resource allocation and personalized learning programs, and that the provision of education for all students could be disrupted. Chuirfí as freisin a deir siad do phleanáil foirne, dáileadh acmhainní agus cláir foghlamtha pearsantaithe, agus go mb’fhéidir go gcuirfí as don soláthar oideachais do gach dalta. Principals are also concerned that it will not be possible to ensure a safe learning environment, especially with the amount of pressure on teaching staff. Tá imní ar phríomhoidí freisin nach mbeifear inann láthair shábháilte foghlamtha a chinntiú, go háirid agus an oiread brú mar atá ar an bhfoireann teagaisc. They are urging the Department of Education to work with school management and leadership to come up with a better strategy. Tá siad ag impí ar an Roinn Oideachais gníomhú i gcuideachta le bainistíocht agus cinnireacht na scoileanna le theacht ar straitéis níos fearr.

In episode 20 of Small Fires, Lucinda has the honour of interviewing Kevin Reimer, a mentor, former colleague, and friend. They explore the evolution of Kevin's leadership identity over a lifetime in education. Kevin, a former principal as well as a former President and Executive Director of the BC Principals' and Vice-Principals' Association, reflects on how mentorship, lived experience, and curiosity shaped his journey. They discuss the power of relationships, the importance of navigating complexity with ongoing openness, and why seasoned leadership shifts from having all the answers to asking better questions. Kevin's new book is also discussed in this interview, which is called "A Year of Leading: A 40-Week Leadership Compass for Principals and Vice-Principals." It is certainly a practical and reflective guide designed to support school leaders at every stage of their careers. Blending research, metaphor, and real-world experience, the book offers thoughtful encouragement and steady guidance for those leading schools today. It is a very supportive and relevant book for today's principal as well as anyone aspiring to become one. Check out his website here: https://howtoprincipal.com/

Anchor Chat #27: Clarity Is the StrategyIn this episode of Anchor Chats, Dr. Woods reflects on Clarity Is the Strategy, emphasizing that clear expectations, focused priorities, and consistent communication are the foundation of effective leadership and instruction. He discusses how a lack of clarity often leads to confusion, misalignment, and stalled progress—while intentional clarity accelerates results.

Have you ever caught yourself wondering, “Why does everything fall on me?” In this episode, we're unpacking one of the biggest mindset traps principals slip into—the belief that they must carry the entire school on their shoulders. You'll learn why highly capable, high-capacity leaders often become the default problem solver, how this pattern unintentionally trains your staff to rely on you, and what it takes to shift out of that role.We'll explore the Problem-Solver Trap, the thoughts that keep you catching every task, and how delegation becomes a powerful form of capacity building rather than “giving things away.” By the end, you'll walk away with practical reflection questions, identity shifts, and delegation strategies that help you stop firefighting and start leading with clarity, calm, and confidence. If you're ready to stop carrying everything yourself—and start building a school full of empowered problem solvers—this episode is for you.Check out The 8 to 4 Principal Blueprint here.

Sorghum costs less to plant and requires less water to generate productive tonnages. For years, sorghum has been ignored as a dairy forage, because the starch filled berry was nearly impossible to process, limiting the energy available to the cow. To combat this issue a male sterile bmr dwarf variety was developed with no grain head as an opportunity to harvest a nutrient dense, resilient leafy forage. Researcher Juan Pineiro, Associate Professor & Extension Dairy Specialist at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Amarillo and his team substituted a portion of corn silage in the TMR with sorghum silage to determine the feasibility of this forage for dairy farms. The team found an improvement in dry matter intake which resulted in a nearly 8lb increase in milk produced when substituting 25% of the corn silage with headless sorghum silage. To compensate for the decrease in dietary starch, Dr. Pineiro added ground corn into the ration to balance energy. Additionally, Dr. Pineiro drew our attention to the recent advancements in berry processing for the non-sterile varieties. “We were able to see 0-1% intact berries remaining with the recently patented processor,” he explained. This unlocks the starch available to the cow and should causes dairymen to consider planting once again. He cautions hybrid selection, harvest timing and processing are all keys to making this affordable resilient forage to earn a spot in your ration. Sorghum should be given a second look, especially in water limiting – dairy dense regions. Listen-in to this episode for an update in sorghum advancements for your dairy.

In this special episode, Jethro Jones defends his doctoral dissertation on how school principals can use AI for innovation rather than just efficiency. The research challenges the common "save time" narrative around AI in education and introduces the concept of "cognitive equity" - using AI to expand capabilities and solve problems that weren't previously possible.Through a full-day workshop with 11 Wyoming principals, Jethro demonstrated that when professional development focuses on authentic problems rather than tools, leaders can create innovative solutions like student mental health check-in apps, digital citizenship games, and curiosity trackers. The study revealed three key barriers (time, training, and resources) and emphasized the importance of sustained, problem-focused professional development that allows for productive struggle.

“What's Buggin' You” segment for Tuesday 2-10-26

Jeremy Gibbon, executive director of the Principals Academy Trust, speaks to John Maytham about the latest cohort of school principals to complete its coaching and mentoring programme. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

The role of touch-typing in schools is in the spotlight, as digital testing becomes the norm. A new NZQA report reveals Education Minister Erica Stanford weighed up adding it to the curriculum last year. The report doesn't make a call, instead suggesting technical and cognitive skills be taught across subjects. Secondary Principals' Council Chair Steve McCracken says there are pros and cons - and schools are already struggling with an overcrowded curriculum. "Anybody who's sat exams knows the pressure situations and you're trying to get your ideas down really quickly, and having that ability to type would be an advantage."

Athruithe ar mheasúnú cáinte ag príomhoidí scoileanna speisialta. The Government’s decision to remove the requirement that a child must have a formal diagnosis of a specific disability to be enrolled in a special school has been criticised by principals of those schools. Tá cinneadh an Rialtais fáil réidh leis an riachtanas a bhíodh ann go mbeadh diagnóis fhoirmeálta de mhíchumas ar leith ag gasúr le clárú i scoil speisialta cáinte ag príomhoidí ar na scoileanna sin. The National Association of Special School Principals (NASSP) says a crucial part of the registration process has been sidelined and will undermine schools’ professional judgement on the appropriate placement and the most favourable learning outcomes for students. Deir Cumann na bPríomhoidí Scoileanna Speisialta (an NASSP) go bhfuil mír chinniúnach den phróiseas clárúcháin curtha go leataobh agus go ndéanfar dochar de bhreith ghairmiúil scoileanna ar an socrúchán cuí agus na torthaí foghlamtha is fabhraí do dhaltaí. The new regime was announced in December by the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley. Mí na Nollag a d’fhógair an tAire Leanaí, Míchumais agus Comhionannais Norma Foley an réimeas nua. The Minister said at the time that the Department was making the amendment to ensure that a child would have the support they needed, and to reduce the time spent on assessment. Dúirt an tAire ag an am gur chun a chinntiú go mbeadh an tacaíocht atá ag teastáil ó ghasúr, agus chun an t-am a chaitear ar mheasúnú a laghdú, a bhí an leasú á dhéanamh ag an Roinn. But the Principals’ Association says the decision was announced without consulting special schools at all. Ach deir Cumann na bPríomhoidí gur fógraíodh an cinneadh gan a ghabháil i gcomhairle in aon chor le scoileanna speisialta. NASSP Co-Chair Matt Swain says that “the capacity of special schools to plan and provide for and care for vulnerable children has been undermined.” Deir ComhChathaoirleach an NASSP Matt Swain go bhfuil “an bonn bainte de chumas scoileanna speisialta tabhairt faoi phleanáil agus soláthar agus cúram pháistí leochaileacha. “A professional report on a child’s ability is essential evidence to ensure that a student is placed in the most appropriate school setting.” Is bun-fhianaise í tuarascáil ghairimiúil ar chumas páiste le cinntiú go socraítear dalta san suíomh scolaíochta is oiriúnaigh.” The Association says that schools may now have to accept students without the school fully understanding the student’s diagnosis, developmental profile, or support needs, which would increase the risk of inappropriate placement. Deir an Cumann go mb’fhéidir go mbeadh ar scoileanna glacadh anois le daltaí gan tuiscint iomlán ag an scoil ar dhiagnóis, ná próifíl forbartha, ná riachtanais tacaíochta an dalta, rud a chuirfeadh leis an mbaol go ndéanfaí socrúchán míchuí. They say it would also disrupt team planning, resource allocation and personalized learning programs, and that the provision of education for all students could be disrupted. Chuirfí as freisin a deir siad do phleanáil foirne, dáileadh acmhainní agus cláir foghlamtha pearsantaithe, agus go mb’fhéidir go gcuirfí as don soláthar oideachais do gach dalta. Principals are also concerned that it will not be possible to ensure a safe learning environment, especially with the amount of pressure on teaching staff. Tá imní ar phríomhoidí freisin nach mbeifear inann láthair shábháilte foghlamtha a chinntiú, go háirid agus an oiread brú mar atá ar an bhfoireann teagaisc. They are urging the Department of Education to work with school management and leadership to come up with a better strategy. Tá siad ag impí ar an Roinn Oideachais gníomhú i gcuideachta le bainistíocht agus cinnireacht na scoileanna le theacht ar straitéis níos fearr.

When everything feels immediate, it pulls you into a reaction cycle that pushes real leadership work to nights and weekends.The key shift is learning to separate true emergencies from noise, setting clear decision rules for what can wait, and anchoring your day around a few priorities before the building takes over. Ending the day intentionally—rather than when everything is finished—helps break the habit of carrying work home.Lasting change comes from adjusting both structure and mindset, so leaving on time becomes part of how you lead, not something you feel guilty about.
