Send us a textGrants don't fund ideas—they fund clear stories that solve real problems. We sit down with Dr. Natasha Goldman, an art historian turned grant strategist, to map out a practical path from fuzzy concepts to fundable proposals. Natasha shares a simple five-part framework—what, why, how, who, and how much—that helps teams decode dense RFPs, align their plans, and write with confidence under pressure.The funding terrain has shifted. Foundations are swamped and more selective, which makes warm outreach and relationship building essential. On the federal side, opportunities are alive and evolving, with more space for industry participation alongside nonprofits and higher ed. Programs tied to AI, workforce, and economic development are gaining traction, while long-standing programs at NSF and NEH continue with updated priorities. Natasha shows how to focus on fit, guard your integrity, and only chase opportunities that match your mission and values.Partnerships take center stage. Rather than competing head-to-head, local players can combine efforts, add wraparound services like child care and transportation, and present a stronger, scalable model. We break down how to set roles by team strengths, avoid timeline compression, and use low-stakes practice to master iteration before tackling high-stakes grants. Natasha's $23M Good Jobs Challenge win for Boston illustrates what this looks like at scale—multi-sector coalitions, measurable outcomes, and childcare placements that exceeded targets.If you're ready to craft proposals that read clean, demonstrate broader impact, and stand up to tough review, this conversation offers the steps. Subscribe for more candid strategy, share with a colleague who's chasing funding this year, and leave a review with your biggest grant challenge—we'll tackle it in a future episode.Guest BioNatasha Goldman, PhD, is President of WISSEN, Inc. and Visiting Researcher at Boston University.

Austin Albers (High School History Teacher, Sioux Falls Lutheran School, Sioux Falls, SD) and Jon Pinn (5th Grade Teacher, Sioux Falls Lutheran School, Sioux Falls, SD) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about their respective journeys toward becoming Lutheran School teachers, their education backgrounds and who inspired them to become teachers, what gives them joy in teaching, how they see themselves influencing the life and faith of their students, and the opportunities they have to encourage youth in their future vocations.

Primary school teachers say they rejected the Government's latest pay offer because it would have left them out of pocket after inflation. NZEI lead negotiator Liam Rutherford spoke to Corin Dann.

As the school year starts to wind down and children begin the countdown to Christmas, there's one dilemma that creeps back into households across the motu; Christmas presents for your child's teacher. Recently retired primary school principal Bruce Cunningham spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Post Primary Teachers' Association (PPTA) members voted to accept the Governments recent pay offer, officially bringing an end to the striking... for now. The settlement includes a 4.6 percent pay increase over two years, and increased allowances for teachers who have management roles or other special responsibilities. PPTA president Chris Abercrombie told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "we're pleased that we're going to be able to start the new year in a settled environment."

In Nigeria, public school teachers are said to be more qualified, yet private school students consistently outperform them in exams. While public teachers hold degrees and certifications, many private school teachers lack formal qualifications but deliver better results. In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we ask, is qualification enough, or are private schools doing something different?

Secondary teachers aren't backing down from their fight for better pay. Thousands of teachers walked off the job today and picketed across the country. They say a proposed one percent pay rise is actually a cut in real terms - and concerns on staffing, professional development and support aren't addressed. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie says he hopes that'll be the end of action, and the Government will come to the table. He says Minister Erica Stanford's signalled interest in improvement. "Erica's come out and said she wants a world-class education system, and we want the same. So there's definitely common ground there, but it's just about how we get to that space."

Secondary school teachers right across the country are walking off the job on Wednesday after a one percent pay rise offer from the government. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Secondary school teachers around the motu have announced they will strike for the day next Wednesday, after pay talk with the govenrment stalled. They will double down in September if there's no progress with negotiations. The union said its members have overwhelmingly voted in favour of rostering students home, and not teaching certain year levels on specific days, in the week beginning September 15. Post Primary Teachers' Association president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Lisa Owen.

Teachers will walk off the job next Wednesday following a one percent payrise offer from the government, which they say is the lowest in a generation. Teacher and PPTA member Kevin Greig spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Government is blasting the secondary teachers union for calling a strike. Post Primary Teachers' Association members will put down the tools next Wednesday, rejecting a three-percent pay increase over three years. Tens of thousands of healthcare workers are also preparing to walk off the job on two separate days next month. Public Service Minister Judith Collins told Mike Hosking it seems the union spent more time on its marketing, than it did at the bargaining table. She's urging teachers to stop using kids as political footballs and get a union that actually cares about them. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unionised secondary teachers who say kids' needs aren't being met in school will strike next week, nationwide. They'll step away from the job next Wednesday after rejecting a three percent pay increase over three years. The PPTA says experienced teachers will be crucial to successfully rolling out proposed Government NCEA reforms. President Chris Abercrombie says the teachers introduced a counter-offer, but it's up to the Government to do their part. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 9th Publish Date: August 9th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 9th and Happy Heavenly Birthday to Whitney Houston I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 1. Middle school teachers can apply for Jackson EMC's Bright Ideas grants 2. Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart 3. New exhibits, learning spaces part of $27 million makeover at Fernbank Museum All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Middle school teachers can apply for Jackson EMC's Bright Ideas grants Jackson EMC is now taking applications for its Bright Ideas grant program, offering up to $2,000 to help middle school teachers bring their most creative classroom projects to life. Got an idea for hands-on science experiments? A wild literacy adventure? Maybe a tech-art mashup? If you’re a state-certified teacher for grades 6–8 in Jackson EMC’s service area, this is your chance to make it happen. Applications are due by Sept. 8 at jacksonemc.com/brightideas. Since 2015, over $621,000 has funded projects that spark curiosity and creativity. STORY 2: Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart Chaos unfolded Wednesday morning at Fort Stewart, just southwest of Savannah, when five soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area. The alleged shooter, Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, was apprehended by 11:35 a.m., thanks to nearby soldiers who tackled him before law enforcement arrived. Radford, assigned to the combat team, used a personal handgun—not military-issued. How he got it on base? Still under investigation. The five injured soldiers were treated on-site, then taken to Winn Army Community Hospital. Two were later transferred to Savannah’s Memorial Health, the region’s only Level 1 trauma center. All are stable and expected to recover. Gov. Brian Kemp and Georgia’s senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, offered prayers and support for the victims and their families. The base went into lockdown within minutes, though it was lifted an hour later, except for the combat team complex. Investigators are still piecing together a motive. STORY 3: New exhibits, learning spaces part of $27 million makeover at Fernbank Museum Fernbank Museum in Atlanta is gearing up for some big changes—$27 million worth, to be exact. Announced Tuesday, the museum’s ambitious capital campaign promises to “revolutionize” how visitors experience science, nature, and history. What’s coming? A massive new permanent exhibit, Changing Earth, will explore our planet’s dynamic systems. It’ll be Fernbank’s largest exhibit ever. There’s also a new temporary gallery for rotating exhibits, an interactive Orkin Discovery Zone for hands-on science fun, and an expanded Star Gallery with fresh content about the cosmos. Thanks to major donors like the Rollins and Woodruff Foundations, these projects will roll out over the next few years, with Changing Earth set to debut in 2027. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles 4 STORY 4: Souto Foods opens expanded facility in Gwinnett Souto Foods just cut the ribbon on its newly expanded facility in Gwinnett, marking a big step forward for the local food distributor. Located at 5030 Sugarloaf Parkway in unincorporated Lawrenceville, the expansion represents a $28 million investment and promises 70 new jobs. “This is about growth, people, and the future,” said Kimberly George, Senior VP at Alex Lee, during the Aug. 1 ceremony. The facility, part of the Sugarloaf Logistics Hub, is transforming the former Cisco campus into a bustling center for food distribution. Founded in 2010, Souto Foods specializes in Latin American and Caribbean products, cementing its role in Gwinnett’s international business scene. STORY 5: Falcons' Jalon Walker Returns After Minor Setback Falcons rookie Jalon Walker is back in action at Flowery Branch, shaking off a hamstring hiccup that sidelined him for a few days. The 21-year-old, a former Georgia standout and the 15th overall pick, is already turning heads again. Known for his versatility at Georgia, Walker’s starting as an edge rusher in Atlanta. “We’re focusing on his strengths first,” said head coach Raheem Morris. “Once he’s comfortable, we’ll expand his role.” Walker and fellow first-rounder James Pearce Jr. are building chemistry, hoping to anchor a defense that’s long overdue for a resurgence. Break 3: STORY 6: Author Jacinta Howard to discuss 'When Forty Blooms' at Snellville library Jacinta Howard, Atlanta-based author and culture journalist, will chat about her latest book, When Forty Blooms, on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Snellville branch of the Gwinnett County Library. She’ll be joined by moderator Brianna A. Peppins. Howard’s no stranger to storytelling—her work’s been everywhere: Eater, Atlanta Magazine, Shondaland, and even LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells. Oh, and that piece she wrote about Magic City’s chicken wings? It snagged her a 2022 ASME nomination. She’s penned multiple series, including The Prototype and Love Always. Peppins, a Spelman grad, is the author of Briarcliff Prep. STORY 7: Gwinnett transportation officials want to bring microtransit to Duluth area On-demand microtransit might soon hit parts of Duluth, Gwinnett Place, and Sugarloaf by late 2026—if the funding comes through. Gwinnett County’s transportation team pitched a $400,000 budget request to a citizens review committee last week, aiming to launch a 15-square-mile “Central Business District” zone. Think of it as a crescent-shaped hub connecting downtown Duluth, Sugarloaf Mills, Gwinnett Place Mall, and more. The service? Simple. Book a ride via app for $3, and get to work, school, the doctor, or even the park. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 4 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Primary school teachers may have less ground to stand on at the bargaining table. They began negotiations yesterday for the first time since losing their pay equity claim in the May Budget. The Public Service Minister says there is a public mantra that teachers deserve to be paid more. But Judith Collins told Mike Hosking it ignores the facts. She says primary school teachers can earn $115 thousand including allowances, after eight years experience. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I feel so glad that I had an opportunity of opening my mouth for God in a Sunday-school, because it helped me to begin preaching; and I have no doubt that many of our pulpits have been filled by those whose first training in speaking for Christ was received in a Sunday-school, where they were asked to address the children.

Jen is a first generation college graduate and, like Ethan, she didn't have a ton of support navigating the college application and admission process.

Are you a teacher thinking about starting your own microschool or homeschool hybrid—but stuck in a swirl of fear and curriculum overwhelm? You're not alone. One of the biggest questions teachers ask when leaving public or private education is: “How do I know what curriculum to use in a microschool?” “What if I mess it up?” “I've only taught one grade… how am I supposed to teach K–8?” In today's episode, I'm walking you through everything I wish I knew when I transitioned from public school teacher to microschool founder. Whether you're still in the classroom or already running a small school and drowning in decisions, this episode is your permission slip to stop striving for the perfect curriculum—and start creating a powerful, peace-filled plan.

New data from NZ's largest ongoing cohort study - the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal study - shows social connections and caring teachers are top of the list for 13-year-olds when talking about school life. They particularly want time and space to develop meaningful social connections with their peers. Bullying remains a major concern, but kids are well aware of the bullying risks on platforms like social media. The research was done with an app co-designed with 13-year-olds that the children could use to write, record audio or video responses to how their school life was going.

We close out #PrisonMarch 2: Second Offense with an interview with someone who there at New World from the very beginning: editor Barbara Pokras! After graduating from USC (where she went to school with Dan O'Bannon with whom she would work on RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD), Barbara found her way to Roger Corman's newly-formed New World Pictures, where she went to work dubbing voices and assisting director Stephanie Rothman on New World's first ever movie, THE STUDENT NURSES. From there, Barbara worked on a variety of movies Roger shot in the Phillipines, like NIGHT OF THE COBRA WOMAN, THE HOT BOX, and THE BIG BUST-OUT! We discuss what it was like to work on those movies, how Barbara worked her way up to joining the Editor's Union and landing a job at Cop Rock, the short-lived police procedural musical, and why it was her favorite job. We also discuss I ESCAPED FROM DEVIL'S ISLAND, TOO HOT TO HANDLE, and why Wonder Woman was not her favorite project to work on. We could not have been more thrilled to talk with Barbara Pokras, one of Corman's original film school graduates, and we know you'll love our discussion as much as we did! And when you're done, don't forget to pick up her book, Feeding Mrs. Moskowitz, here.

The Government's changing residency rules to allow overseas primary teachers to apply for New Zealand residency. Speaking exclusively to Newstalk ZB, the Immigration Minister says from next month, offshore primary teachers will only need a job offer, and don't need to have worked here for two years, to be given residency. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it follows the Government putting secondary teachers on the same pathway last year, which made a big difference to their numbers.

Episode 24: Henderson v. Springfield R-12 School District Henderson v. Springfield R-12 School District, argued en banc before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on January 15, 2025. Argued by Braden H. Boucek of the Southeastern Legal Foundation (on behalf of Brooke Henderson, et al.) and Tina Fowler (on behalf of the Board of Education of the Springfield R-12 School District, et al.). Background of the case, from Circuit Judge Colloton's Eighth Circuit panel opinion: In 2020, the Springfield R-12 School District required its employees to attend “equity training.” Two employees who attended the training sued the school district and several school officials under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs alleged that during the training, the defendants compelled them to speak as private citizens on matters of public concern, and engaged in viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The district court granted summary judgment for the school district on the ground that the plaintiffs did not suffer an injury in fact and thus lacked standing to sue. The court also found that the lawsuit was frivolous and awarded attorney's fees to the school district. The plaintiffs appeal. Because we agree that the plaintiffs did not establish an injury in fact, we affirm the dismissal. We conclude, however, that the fee award was unwarranted and reverse that portion of the judgment. Statement of Issues Presented for Review, excerpted from the Brief of Appellants: Whether SPS [Springfield Public Schools] unconstitutionally compelled Plaintiffs to speak on matters of public concern and adopt its views in violation of the First Amendment. Whether SPS unconstitutionally discriminated against Plaintiffs' views when it adopted a position on current affairs and told Plaintiffs that their views were wrong. Whether SPS created an unconstitutional condition of employment when it compelled speech on matters of public concern and engaged in viewpoint discrimination. Whether the district court erred in finding Plaintiffs' claims frivolous. Whether the district court erred in awarding attorney fees in the amount of $312,869.50 and costs in the amount of $3,267.10 to Defendants. Whether reassignment to a different judge is appropriate on any remand.

Can stereotypes of male pre-school teachers be reduced to ease more men into the profession that is seeing shortage in Singapore? Synopsis: Every month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests. There is less than one man for every 10 early childhood educators in Singapore - surprising given that the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) estimates the need for another 1,500 more educators to support the sector’s expansion in the coming years. As male pre-school teachers conventionally face more scrutiny, could MSF’s new set of guidelines spelling out appropriate boundaries help ease tensions? The new set of guidelines for primary caregivers include expression affection, bathing practices and exposure to nudity. Amid a spate of abuse cases at various pre-schools in Singapore being reported in 2024, these guidelines could help pre-school teachers and parents set their mind at ease, especially when it comes to male pre-school teachers, said guests in this episode. The two guests are: Sajit Sesikumar, 30, a senior English pre-school teacher, who shares his six-year experience at MindChamps Preschool; and Yeo Shufang, 42, a mother of four kids, with her youngest attending preschool at age 4. In this episode, ST assistant podcast editor Lynda Hong and her co-host - STNow reporter Christie Chiu - ask their two guests whether setting guidelines can ease the tensions male pre-school teachers have to navigate at work, and encourage more to the early childhood education profession. Highlights (click/tap above): 6:50 How pre-schoolers can learn better from a diversity of teachers 11:24 How MSF’s healthy family guidelines can ease the work of pre-school teachers 13:25 How Sajid deals with physical affection from students 16:37 How Shufang teaches her children about personal boundaries 21:28 Is Singapore ready to normalise male preschool teachers and how can stereotypes be reduced?
