On this episode of Providing Choice, Dr. Jessica Barr contextualizes NAEP scores and explores charter school achievements and learning gains that recent NAEP data doesn't reflect. The Florida Charter School Alliance (FCSA) is a member-driven organization focused on influencing legislative policy and environments with unrivaled success in advocating for and protecting charter schools and parental choice.

Episode Overview Most martial arts school owners focus on bringing in new students, but what if retention is actually more important than recruitment? In this episode, Duane and Allie break down the real cost of losing students, how to calculate the true value of retention, and strategies to build a community that keeps students engaged for years—not just months. If you've ever wondered why your school isn't growing despite consistent new enrollments, this episode is a must-listen! Key Takeaways from This Episode 1. The Real Cost of Acquiring vs. Retaining a Student Recruiting new students requires significant marketing expenses, including Google ads, social media campaigns, and events. Retaining a student is significantly more cost-effective and leads to a stronger school culture. Duane and Allie discuss how to calculate both costs and why understanding this metric is crucial for school owners. 2. Why Retention is the Real Growth Strategy Many school owners believe they only need more students, but their stagnant numbers suggest a deeper retention issue. Retaining students longer means increased participation in events, additional purchases of gear, and a greater sense of community. Understanding why students quit can help school owners create better engagement strategies. 3. Common Reasons Students Quit and How to Prevent It Lack of progression: Students feel stuck and unmotivated. Loss of interest: Classes that are not engaging or structured properly lead to dropouts. Negative experiences: A poor interaction with an instructor or fellow student can drive students away. Parents' perceptions: If parents do not see the value in martial arts training, they are less likely to continue paying for it. Life changes: Scheduling conflicts, financial difficulties, or changing interests. 4. Building a Strong Martial Arts Community The importance of student identity and belonging within a school. The role of upgrades (e.g., Black Belt Club, leadership programs) in creating deeper engagement. How fostering peer relationships can significantly impact long-term retention. 5. Practical Retention Strategies Every School Owner Should Implement Setting clear goal structures, such as belt progression and skill achievements. Implementing student recognition programs, such as perfect attendance awards or leadership roles. Engaging with parents to reinforce the value of training. Hosting regular events and community-building activities. Final Thoughts Retention is the foundation of a long-term successful martial arts school. While marketing and recruitment are necessary, school owners must prioritize keeping students engaged and committed to their training. Action Step for School Owners Pick one retention strategy from today's episode and implement it in your school this week. Whether it's engaging more with parents, tracking student progress more closely, or adding an upgrade program, small changes can lead to big results.

SUPPORT NMCAA The Collective Us podcast, hosted by Erica Austin and Ryan Buck, features a discussion on the School Success Partnership program, which focuses on improving student achievement through collaboration among schools, families, and community action. Guests included Amy Cannon, NMCAA School Success Program Coordinator, and Dorothy Pintar, Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency (NEMSCA), Community Programs Director. Dorothy explained the program's origins, tracing its roots back 33 years to a community needs assessment that identified school failure as a common factor among families facing chronic poverty, unemployment, and other challenges. Developed as a preventative, non-intrusive initiative, the program removes barriers to academic success without income-based restrictions. It has since grown from a single truancy-based position into a comprehensive support system spanning ten counties, supported by a $3.8 million budget and a team of 59 staff members. The program's success has led to significant reductions in truancy and improved outcomes for families and schools, with expansion efforts continuing across Michigan. Dorothy highlighted the role of relationship-building and community investment in the program's success, while Amy underscored the increasing need for such initiatives, particularly in light of challenges like chronic absenteeism exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, they reflected on the program's transformative impact and the importance of supporting students at every stage of their educational journey.

If you are anything like we were, one of our main goals at the beginning of the year was to build positive relationships with our students. We know the countless benefits having positive relationships can have on your students and classroom, so we always did the typical getting-to-know-you activities at the start of the year. However, we needed to find ways to keep those relationships growing with more than just those activities all year long. This is when we began to incorporate surprise and delight. So, in today's episode, we're sharing our five easy back-to-school surprise-and-delight ideas that you can use in your classroom this school year.

Pruning To Prosper - Clutter, Money, Meals and Mindset for the Catholic Mom
In today's episode I mention a coach I follow on Instagram. You can follow him here: @coachingwithwill Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Or you do begin and quickly make a bigger mess, get frustrated and give up? Are you waiting for motivation to strike and THEN you'll get it together? Motivation is not going to strike, so STOP waiting for it! Just get started and guess, what? Momentum will kick in and help you finish the job. When we look at the big picture, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stay stuck. In these Saturday morning episodes, I lead you through one very small area of your home to declutter for just 5 minutes. You won't pull everything out and make a bigger mess, you'll just handle a very small section at a time. Week after week and little by little, your home will begin to feel lighter. You'll be able to freely open kitchen drawers and quickly find items. Cleaning will become easier too because you won't be cleaning before you can actually clean. 5 minutes will make a difference!

“Don't be afraid of failure. Be afraid of not trying in the first place.” Marie Forleo My interview with Marie Forleo, founder of B-School, heart-centered self-made millionaire, business genius, and bestselling author of Everything Is Figuroutable, is back on the You-est You® Podcast to discuss B-school success stories and a tried-and-true way you can be your You-est You and grow your budding heart-centered business or practice to beautiful profitability. As a B-school graduate, her program, which has now helped over 80,000 graduates, helped grow my business immensely. This episode shares success stories and, most importantly, the encouragement and empowerment needed to be courageous enough to birth or grow a heart-led business. If you're also someone with lotttts of certifications, training, degrees, and ‘all the things' but weren't taught how to use them in a business, you'll end up with lots of gifts and, sadly, no one to serve. That's what happened to me. I got my master's degree in coaching in 2013 without any road map on how to build a business until I found Marie's B-school program, which gave me the practical tools and resources to authentically align my purpose and grow my business. That's why I chose to be an affiliate partner in her course, and love sharing her inspiration with you in this episode.
