Rethink how academic languaging can transform content area teaching For years, the teaching of content-based academic language to multilingual learners has focused on formulas, vocabulary lists, and sentence patterns―often sidelining students' linguistic and cultural strengths. Gisela Ernst-Slavit and Margo Gottlieb address these challenges by embracing academic languaging, an active, collaborative student-driven process. Academic Languaging offers strategies to integrate language and content learning while fostering student engagement, voice, and agency. Dedicated chapters on academic languaging for Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science highlight the dimensions of disciplinary language for each subject and provide strategies for moving learning forward with multilingual learners. Additional features include: "Stop and Think" prompts to help educators connect new ideas with their instructional settings Prompts at the end of each chapter to encourage deeper thinking and application of the material Multilingual examples to mirror the varied classroom settings in the U.S. and beyond. The ultimate resource for educators committed to empowering multilingual learners and fostering meaningful, culturally sustaining education, Academic Languaging ensures multilingual learners comprehend academic content and thrive as confident, autonomous drivers of their own learning.

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Jessica Fairchild—an extraordinary lawyer, entrepreneur, and advocate for a new kind of workplace culture. Jessica's story is one of continual reinvention, courageous pivots, and an unwavering commitment to values-driven leadership. Jessica is the co-founder and partner at Fairchild and Bair, a Chicago-based law firm built on flexibility, trust, and purpose. As you'll hear in our conversation, her 25-year legal career has not followed a traditional path. And that's exactly what makes her story so compelling. From Accounting Major to M&A Trailblazer Jessica didn't grow up dreaming of being a lawyer. In fact, she studied accounting in college and only considered law school after enjoying a business law class. With no attorneys in her immediate family, this leap was both unexpected and bold. But as she puts it, “I followed my gut.” After cutting her teeth in a large Chicago law firm, she took a big risk—leaving to become general counsel for Chicago's Olympic bid. That three-year detour turned out to be a pivotal moment in her journey. The experience showed her how law could intersect with leadership, creativity, and impact. It also sparked her entrepreneurial spirit. Building a Firm with Flexibility at Its Core Jessica founded her own firm in 2010, without a business plan but with a clear sense of purpose: to build a law practice where she—and others—could bring their authentic selves to work. In 2019, that mission expanded with the merger that formed Fairchild and Bair, alongside like-minded partners. Today, the firm boasts nearly 100 lawyers and a business model that reflects the realities and values of a new generation. What sets Jessica's approach apart? It's the deliberate culture of flexibility and inclusion. Whether accommodating a lawyer working remotely from Madrid or welcoming professionals who've stepped away from the workforce, the firm embraces nonlinear career paths. “We meet people where they are,” Jessica explains. That philosophy has helped them attract top talent from firms where rigid structures no longer fit. If you would like to watch our interview, it is on YouTube: Law as Business, Practice, and Purpose Jessica is as much a business leader as she is a legal expert. She emphasizes that today's law firms must be more than traditional billable-hour machines. They must be responsive to change, open to new technologies (including AI), and built around human-centered leadership. Her firm is exploring how AI can make legal work more efficient—not to replace lawyers, but to empower them. And in a profession where many still define themselves by their titles or roles, Jessica is carving out space for lawyers to live full, multidimensional lives. As she wisely notes, “You've got to find a place where you can be your authentic self.” Key Takeaways Jessica offers two powerful insights for all professionals—not just lawyers: Find a place where you can be your authentic self. If your current environment doesn't support who you are, there are others that will. Think of your career as a journey, not a destination. Jessica's path has included pivots, risks, and new beginnings. That's what made it rich and meaningful. Why This Matters Now This episode couldn't come at a better time. With workplaces in flux, AI reshaping industries, and the next generation demanding purpose and flexibility, Jessica's story provides a blueprint for a new kind of leadership—one that balances innovation with humanity.

Are you feeling exhausted or burnt out from the mental load? In this episode, I speak with Professor Leah Ruppanner – sociologist, gender equity advocate, and founder of the Future of Work Lab at the University of Melbourne. Leah unpacks the mental load in a way you've never heard before - why it's not just cognitive, but deeply emotional too. If you've ever felt invisible, overwhelmed, or wondered why you're carrying so much, this conversation is for you. Leah's insights are validating, refreshing, and might just change the way you move through motherhood and work. From gendered expectations and the invisible labor women carry, to the societal norms that fuel mum guilt, Leah shares evidence-based insights and practical ways to help you begin to lighten the load. You will hear about: - The true definition of the mental load (spoiler: it's more emotional than you think) - Why some mental load solutions don't work (and what might) - How gender norms are holding us back at home and at work - The real reason mum guilt exists and how to release it - How workplaces can (and must) better support caregiving - What the research says about dads, mental load, and the desire to be more present - Leah's vision for structural change and redefining care as essential infrastructure MORE LINKS Connect with Leah via her website www.leahruppanner.com or on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/leah-ruppanner-1657a417/ Follow Working Mumma on Instagram @workingmummacommunity and the website www.workingmumma.com.au or connect with Carina on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/carina-obrien/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment ot subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

ZITADEL is pioneering the next generation of identity infrastructure, providing a developer-first platform that handles everything from basic authentication to complex multi-tenant B2B scenarios. With $11.5 million in funding and a unique open-source approach, ZITADEL has positioned itself as the "GitLab for identity" - offering both self-hosted and SaaS deployment options while maintaining flexibility through comprehensive APIs. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Florian Forster, CEO and Co-Founder of ZITADEL, who recently relocated from Switzerland to the Bay Area to accelerate the company's go-to-market efforts and tap into the massive US opportunity. Topics Discussed: ZITADEL's comprehensive identity platform covering authentication, authorization, and multi-tenant scenarios The company's innovative dual-licensing approach combining AGPL open source with commercial offerings Florian's strategic decision to relocate his entire family from Switzerland to the Bay Area The evolution from per-user pricing to capability-based pricing models Building a global team across three regions: Europe for engineering, US for go-to-market, and Argentina for customer success Marketing strategy focused 80/20 on developers versus buyers Cultural differences between European and American go-to-market approaches Future vision for AI risk mitigation and behavioral analytics in identity management GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Embrace "cash or code" open source strategy: Florian introduced the concept of "cash or code" - users either pay for commercial features or contribute meaningfully to the open source project. ZITADEL's shift from Apache to AGPL licensing ensures that free users contribute back to the community while commercial customers get enterprise features and SLAs. This dual-licensing approach creates sustainable economics while building a strong community foundation. Rethink pricing to align with customer value creation: ZITADEL is moving away from per-user pricing because, as Florian explains, "we are the system that makes users useful. So if we hinder our customers on creating users in the first place, it kind of defeats the whole idea." Instead, they're shifting to capability-based pricing where customers pay for specific features like compliance notifications rather than user seats. This removes friction from customer growth and better aligns pricing with actual value delivered. Focus marketing efforts on developers, not just buyers: ZITADEL discovered that an 80/20 split between developer-focused and buyer-focused marketing works best. Florian notes that "targeting the developer ultimately leads to us being in the debate when somebody procures a system like ours." Developers do the initial evaluation and recommendation, so winning them over is crucial for getting into procurement discussions with buyers. Leverage geographic arbitrage strategically: ZITADEL operates across three regions - Europe for core engineering (quality engineers at $100-250K vs $250-500K in Bay Area), US for go-to-market, and Argentina for customer success and sales engineering. This approach optimizes for both cost efficiency and timezone coverage while maintaining quality across all functions. Adapt messaging for cultural differences: Moving from Switzerland to the US taught Florian that "in US marketing, things get overinflated quite severely, but the buyer knows that and automatically deducts some of it." Europeans tend to under-market solid products, while US buyers expect and discount for marketing inflation. B2B founders must calibrate their messaging appropriately for different markets and buyer expectations. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

A record high 7 million U.S. children have received an ADHD diagnosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But journalist Paul Tough wonders if we're thinking about pediatric ADHD all wrong. For a recent New York Times Magazine feature, Tough spent a year talking to leading researchers who now say that standard treatments like Ritalin only help children behave better, not learn better – and even that effect wears off completely over time. We talk to Tough about why he says we need to reconceptualize diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Guests: Paul Tough, contributing writer, New York Times Magazine Learn more about your ad choices.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are valuable given their broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and their high penetration into various tissues. Yet FQs have also caused concern, with some market withdrawals, important and sometimes long-lasting adverse drug events, and substantial collateral effects on the microbiota. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Emily McDonald and Thomas Tängdén invite Staffan Tevell (Karlstad, Sweden) and Bernadette Young (Oxford, UK) to weigh in on the pro-con debate of FQ use, especially for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), which can entail longer treatment durations. They review the standard of care for PJIs, including FQs in combination with rifampicin vs other antibiotic combinations, the impact of the OVIVA trial advocating for early oral switch strategies, the long list of rare but important side effects, and how best to preserve FQs for clinical indications that most need them. This episode is a follow-up from Tevell and Young's recently published systematic review of the role of FQs in PJIs [1]. It was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Ljiljana Lukić of University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb, Croatia. The executive producer of Communicable is Angela Huttner.

In this week's episode, we dive headfirst into the economic storm clouds gathering over Ireland, and the urgent need to act before we get soaked. We explore how U.S. tariffs, Trumpian MAGA economics, and a Europe shrinking on the global stage all combine to put Ireland in the danger zone. We break it down simply: Trump's $50 billion in new tariffs? Instead of hurting China, they're taxing Americans. If America turns fully inward, the knock-on effect for Ireland could be devastating. We're the most U.S.-adjacent economy in Europe, and with 150 billion euro sitting in Irish bank deposits and 80% of our corporate tax coming from foreign companies, we're dangerously reliant on the goodwill of multinationals who may not stick around. So we ask: what's Ireland's Plan B? We look back to the IFSC and Ardnacrusha, bold, nation-shaping moves that changed our future. We ask why we're not doing the same now. We speak to Patrick Walsh from Dogpatch Labs, who tells us that we've got the ingredients for an innovation boom, talent, capital, multinational know-how, but not the policies to unlock it. Right now, France has taken the lead on AI. Meta's accelerator is in Paris, not Dublin. Why? Leadership. Focus. Vision. Meanwhile, Ireland dithers over housing and passes symbolic laws that could alienate our biggest economic ally. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David Erickson challenges legacy tech, invites the White House—and everyone else—to rediscover the power of voice “We're not a discount service. We're a better service built on a different economic—and it's time to bring back audio.” — David Erickson, Founder, FreeConferenceCall.com In a candid and compelling interview with Technology Reseller News, David Erickson, founder of FreeConferenceCall.com, joins publisher Doug Green to make a bold case for a resurgence in audio conferencing. Fresh off offering his service as a reliable alternative to AT&T—following a widely publicized White House conferencing failure—Erickson explains why many organizations are rediscovering the simplicity, reliability, and efficiency of audio meetings. With 25 years in the space and millions of users, FreeConferenceCall.com isn't just free—it's also architected for geo-diverse, high-definition, secure performance that Erickson claims outpaces legacy systems. Key Points from the Interview: Audio That Works—Every Time FreeConferenceCall.com is built on proprietary, cloud-native bridges with global reach and no moving parts. Result: better uptime, better fidelity, and support that actually answers the phone. One Number Simplicity New “One Number” functionality allows executives to join a secure conference call with a single SMS link—no access codes, no waiting rooms, no tech hurdles. It's already being adopted by C-suites, including a major U.S. airline. Video Fatigue Is Real Erickson points to rising “camsiety” and the hidden costs of video: delayed starts, distraction, over-awareness. Audio meetings, he argues, are faster to join, more focused, and better suited to today's mobile workforce. ⚙️ Built for Today, Not Yesterday Unlike traditional conferencing services that still rely on aging hardware or complex setups, FreeConferenceCall.com was designed from the start to be software-based, VoIP-native, and economically efficient. Not Just Cheaper—Better This isn't a stripped-down, bargain-basement platform. It's a high-performance conferencing service—offered for free because the tech and economics allow it. The Takeaway: Whether you're the White House, a 501(c)(3), or a startup, Erickson encourages everyone to try FreeConferenceCall.com—not as a replacement for every meeting platform, but as a faster, smarter, and more human alternative.

Time keeps moving, and this week on Tuesday, the 22nd, we shift from the watery flow of Cancer into the fiery, bold energy of Leo and the heart of summer. Leo Season is when everything feels alive and abundant. This is our time to step into the spotlight as the main character of our lives, remembering we're not just the star—we're the director, writer, casting agent, and set designer of our story. This Leo Season comes with a lot of reflection energy, thanks to Mercury retrograde in Leo and three other planets retrograde too. All this retrograde energy is pushing us to review our “life movie.” Are we happy with the story we're telling? Do we love the setting, the people we've cast, the plot, and even how we've written our own character? Or is it time to rewrite the script into something more joyful, abundant, and magical? It might not feel easy right now. The second half of July through August 6 is intense—maybe the most challenging stretch of the year. But hang in there, because the energy softens soon. Starting August 6th, a Grand Water Trine brings a wave of ease and everything will flow more smoothly. Relief is just around the corner. We also have a New Moon in Leo on Thursday, the 24th. This moon reminds us that the highest vibration of Leo is simplicity. Like the lion, we don't need to prove or push, we can just be. This New Moon invites us to strip away the noise, release control (especially the control we put on ourselves), and reconnect with what's real and essential. It's a powerful reset point to step into a new chapter with confidence and clarity. With this New Moon, all the retrogrades, and Uranus shaking things up in Gemini, the universe is basically handing us a pause button. It's saying, “Reflect. Rethink. Reset.” We're in a 9 year, a year of endings and beginnings, and after all the shifts we've been through, it's time to consciously create what's next. This Leo Season, let's own every part of our story and direct our lives like the epic, soul-aligned blockbusters they're meant to be.

What does effective, ethical supervision look like when working with adults in crisis — not kids? In this episode, Dr. Ashley Fiorilli, PhD, BCBA, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and Founder of Be Still Be Connected, LLC, joins us to unpack the unique challenges and opportunities of supervising RBTs in adult residential and crisis care settings.Together, we explore why the traditional ABA playbook — rooted in discrete trial training, compliance, and early intervention models — often fails to serve adults with complex trauma histories, psychiatric diagnoses, and co-occurring medical needs. Dr. Fiorilli shares how she integrates ACT, trauma-informed care, and relational frameworks to help RBTs build flexibility, read the room, and respond compassionately in high-stakes environments where safety and dignity must come first.We discuss the real-world gaps in RBT training when applied to adults, including navigating medical and psychiatric systems, medication management, and how to identify essential vs. non-essential demands in the moment. From recognizing a client's “window of willingness” to letting go of power struggles in favor of trust-building, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies to help supervisors and technicians alike rethink their role through a more compassionate, human-centered lens.Whether you work in residential care, forensic settings, or anywhere adults with complex needs are served, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach to behavior change, progress, and supervision.Listen out for the two code words to earn your free 1.0 Ethics CEU.

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Alberto Prado, Head of Digital and Partnerships for R&D at Unilever, to explore how one of the world's largest consumer goods companies is reimagining innovation using AI. And not just in theory or in labs. This is technology already transforming the stuff most of us use every single day. From Dove body wash to Knorr stock cubes, Unilever products reach more than 3.4 billion people globally. That scale makes their R&D choices deeply relevant to how we live. What stood out in this conversation is how deeply integrated AI has become across their research efforts. This isn't about one flashy pilot project. Unilever currently runs over 400 AI initiatives across areas like microbiome science, biotechnology, and next-generation materials. Each one is focused on improving product performance, making items more sustainable, or creating personalized experiences for consumers. Alberto shared how Unilever's decades-long microbiome research is being accelerated through machine learning and high-performance computing. With over 30 terabytes of data and more than 100 patents, the company now holds one of the largest collections of human microbiome data in the world. That insight has directly influenced products like Dove and Vaseline and has led to innovations like the POND'S Microbiome Analyzer, which offers personalized skincare recommendations within an hour. In the field of biotechnology, Unilever is working with partners like Arzeda to create enzymes that outperform traditional cleaning agents, all while being more sustainable. A great example is the breakthrough behind RhamnoClean technology in Sunlight dishwashing liquid. By mimicking natural fermentation processes, Unilever can now produce bio-based surfactants that clean effectively, reduce water use, and are kinder to the planet. We also discussed how AI-driven virtual testing is replacing thousands of physical prototypes. This shift is helping Unilever rapidly develop new products like the Wonder Wash laundry detergent and Knorr's Zero Salt Cube. Alberto explained how digital models can simulate everything from stain removal in different wash cycles to how a cube holds together without salt, long before any physical version is made. And then there's the R&D Assistant, Unilever's own AI-powered co-pilot built in partnership with Microsoft. It connects over 150,000 scientific documents from across a century of research, letting scientists query insights in natural language. For Unilever's 5,000 researchers, it's not just a time saver. It's changing how they discover, collaborate, and innovate. This episode is a window into how legacy companies can drive transformation from within. Innovation isn't just happening in new industries or through startup culture. Sometimes it's happening inside a washing machine cycle or a bottle of shampoo. So the question is, what can other large-scale enterprises learn from the way Unilever is scaling AI across its entire product development ecosystem?

In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by US Olympic dressage rider Ali Brock. Ali Brock is a U.S. Olympic dressage rider and trainer known for her dedication to the sport and to the horses and riders she supports. Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, she left the islands at 17 to pursue a dressage career and went on to work under top professionals, including Olympian Sue Blinks. In 2004, she became head trainer at Deer Meadow Farm with the support of Fritz and Claudine Kundrun, and later spent time training in Europe with Jan Brink, Kyra Kyrklund, and Richard White. Ali earned international recognition riding Rosevelt, a 2002 Hanoverian stallion, as part of the U.S. team that won bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics—the first Olympic dressage medal for the U.S. in 12 years. She actively supports youth programs like Dressage4Kids and has served as the Equestrian Representative for the Athletes Advisory Council. Now based in Wellington, Florida, she continues to train horses and riders at the highest levels and to mentor the next generation of Grand Prix trainers. In this episode, Ali shares her philosophy on training and how it supports a strong, lasting partnership between horse and rider, including: • How a horse's emotional state influences her training approach and why recognizing that is essential. • The importance she places on the rider-horse relationship and the early mentors who shaped that perspective. • What commonly used dressage terms like “thoroughness” and “harmony” really mean in practice. • Why rules and regulations in horse sport should be based on evidence and context—not just snapshots or headlines. Join Ali and Sinead for an honest and thoughtful conversation about the future of the sport and how riders can prioritize partnership in their daily training.
This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereWebasto is a legacy company with roots going back to 1901, but staying competitive in today's automotive industry requires more than history. It also means challenging long-standing norms without discarding the company's strengths. To understand how a company like that evolves, we sat down with Brad Ring, President and CEO of Webasto Americas. Brad Ring describes his leadership style as grounded in authenticity, humility, and care for people. At the core of his approach is a belief that when leaders genuinely care about people, people care about the work.Brad shares how his leadership approach evolved, not from leadership training, but from watching the people around him. One of his earliest influences was Jim Hall, who showed him early on that real leadership starts with connection. It isn't about hierarchy or image, it's about showing up as a real person.Webasto is proud of its German heritage, known for its engineering discipline, and carries a cultural weight that doesn't shift easily. But Brad didn't try to fight that. He kept what worked: the care for people, the pride in product quality, and the strong family feel. Then, he started adding what was missing: a performance-driven mindset and a culture that encourages collaboration.One of the most practical changes was in language. Words like “accountable” and “responsible” had become unclear. So Brad introduced “promise.” Promises, he says, create emotional accountability and human connection in a way that traditional “responsibility” never could.Even during restructuring, Brad stays focused on values. Some decisions are hard, he says, but how you carry them out, humanely and with accountability, matters just as much as the decisions themselves. That's what keeps the culture intact even during tough transitions.Brad sees trust as the core of his leadership, both in business and personal relationships. It's not just a value; it's how things get done.He believes trust is built through consistent, everyday actions.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ourrichjourney.com/post/are-condos-a-bad-real-estate-investment-for-financial-independence Quotes to ponder: "Rules can change. These changes could include all sorts of intrusive things, like prohibiting a certain percentage of renters in the condominium or barring you from running your condo as an Airbnb." "If other condo owners aren't paying their HOA fees, this is going to impact the property. It can affect the resale of your home." "Compared to single-family homes, condominiums typically drop in price first. Not only that, but the prices of condos generally take longer to recover."

At some point, many of us reach a moment when our beliefs no longer fit the reality we're living. In this episode, Justin and Abi open up about their personal journeys through deconstruction—what it looked like, what it cost, and how it ultimately deepened their faith. They unpack why questioning your faith isn't rebellion—it's often a necessary part of maturing spiritually. Whether sparked by suffering, disillusionment, or simply the invitation to grow, deconstruction invites us to reassess what we believe and why. But it's not just about tearing things down—it's about making space for love, humility, and a more authentic connection with God. This conversation covers everything from the emotional upheaval of spiritual uncertainty to the gift of discovering God is bigger—and kinder—than we imagined. If you've ever felt like you don't belong in the faith circles you once called home, or like asking questions makes you dangerous, this episode will help you feel seen. Deconstruction doesn't mean losing faith. Sometimes it's the most radical act of trust.
