In this thought-provoking episode, Kieran is joined by educator, consultant and author Ian Timbrell to unpack a topic which, if we're not careful, can often be reduced to symbolic gestures and one-off lessons. Drawing on his recent book More Than Flags and Rainbows, Ian explores how schools can move beyond superficial displays of support to embed authentic, consistent inclusion across curriculum, culture and community.Together, they tackle the most common misconceptions about LGBTQ+ representation in education, the barriers that prevent teachers from feeling confident in this area, and the strategies schools can use to ensure every student feels seen, safe and valued. This conversation offers practical advice for teachers and leaders at all stages of their journey, and highlights the importance of visibility, curriculum integration, and ongoing reflection.Whether your school is just starting to think about LGBTQ+ inclusion or is already embedding this work, Ian's clarity, honesty and deep understanding will leave you better equipped to take action that makes a difference.

This week we venture beyond the traditional classroom with Victoria Hackett from Outdoor Classrooms, an expert in weaving nature, play, and purpose into everyday teaching. With over a decade of experience championing outdoor education, Victoria shares how learning gardens and nature-based activities can do wonders for student wellbeing, regulation, and overall engagement—and just as importantly, how they can reignite a teacher's sense of joy and curiosity too.From the science behind nature's calming effects to practical ideas that fit even the tiniest outdoor spaces (yes, even city schools!), we unpack how outdoor learning supports child development, deepens inquiry, and aligns beautifully with curriculum goals like literacy and numeracy. Key Takeaways from this episode:How outdoor learning helps students regulateThe developmental benefits of sensory-rich outdoor experiencesWhy nature can help teachers as well as their students Creative ways to meet literacy and numeracy outcomes through learning outdoorsTips for making the most of small or urban environmentsWhy outdoor learning doesn't stop when the weather turnsOne small action teachers can take tomorrow to bring nature into their classroomIf you've ever wished for calmer students, more meaningful learning, or simply a change of scenery, this episode is your gentle nudge to step outside and teach in a way that feels joyful, grounded, and sustainable.If you enjoyed this episode, we would love it if you could leave us a 5-star review.Rainbows ahead,Alisha and AshleighResources mentioned in this episode:Connect with Victoria on Instagram, LinkedIn or FacebookVictoria's Website: www.outdoor-classrooms.comListen to Victoria's Podcast: The Outdoor Classrooms Podcast APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY  | AMAZONLet's hear from you!

Kate Pierson is a founding member of the B-52s: The World's Greatest Party Band, and a beacon for weirdos and queer-does since the late 70s. After decades of collaborating with the likes of Iggy Pop, R.E.M., and her Japanese side-band NiNa (more on that in the episode), Kate began writing and recording her entirely solo output in 2015. Last year, her second album Radios and Rainbows was released, and at the age of 77, Kate is bubbling with creativity and drive to continue creating. Between the B-52s' legendary back catalogue (which I've only really started discovering myself), Kate's solo work, and her reflections on her own queer legacy, there's a lot to get through in this conversation.

Chris is joined by NEI's new (but also not really new) Director of Staff Development, Training, and Shows - Ari Bailey - to welcomes Dr Taylor Gilley back to the show! Taylor shares the path that took her from the education world to her current role as Director of Staff Learning and Development at Houston Zoo, and guides us through a great conversation covering the zoo's LIFT (Leadership, Innovation, Focus, and Teamwork) program, the thousand forms of fear that drive humans, the importance of succession planning and protecting institutional knowledge, how everyone can start their own little development cohort, and the advantages of asking for forgiveness instead of permission. We're all lucky to have people like Taylor working with the humans in our zoos so they can do their best work with their animals.

3.1 miles of good vibes...

Finally! Amy found her way back to the studio and we were able to record a new episode! She weighs in on some of D2's comments and rebuffs her sister's "revised history." Who is to say what the truth is these days, of course Tim has repressed much this timeframe in his life as he believes everything was "Unicorns and Rainbows!" As we travel down a rabbit hole... the conversation switches to the question of leaving voice messages in today's world where no one knows anyone's phone number. Since your phone notifies you of all missed calls, you see when and who called. Of course Amy plays back some of here saved voice messages going back over a decade! How many people "save" their voice VM's? (And by "save" we mean - "Do not delete.")

Shattered to Mosaic: All the While Trusting God and walking with Jesus by Cynthia Kaitfors-Smith Amazon.com Newlifeinjoy.com I found after leaning on the Lord through grief and loss there truly is JOY after the storm. There is so much in life to celebrate through the word of God, the Joys and the Rainbows of our lives. I am a Christian gal, with the gift to gab, wonderful imagination, and a creative spirit. I would daydream my way through the school day. I was born and raised in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, I earned my BA in Psychology and MS in Marriage Family Therapy and a credential in School Counseling. Through my education, strong faith, trust in God, I healed from betrayal and divorce. As I grew in my personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I realized the importance of being more than a luke-warm Christian.

Send us a textIt came across my desk one day, this moment, this fleeting moment where I thought to myself, "Where I focus my energy I create."

This month on OUT and About, Iese Wilson sits down with Icaro Paraguassú, who shares his experiences as a gay Latter-Day Saint from Brazil. They discuss faith, identity, diversity, and the need for resources that reach every language and culture.Icaro reflects on the rainbow as both a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and a covenant with God, and how we each reflect the light of Christ in our own way. His rainbow pin opens conversations and offers quiet reassurance to those seeking belonging.From a mission in Argentina to a leadership academy in the Czech Republic, Icaro's story is a reminder that while our paths may differ, we're all journeying back to the same heavenly home.
