A researcher, Edtech expert, and PhD candidate studying the intersection of AI, learning, and human experience, Kris brings a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world application to the question every principal is quietly asking: is all this technology actually helping? His work with Play Piper puts him at the front lines of how kids interact with screens — and what happens when that interaction goes wrong. Kris has been studying and speaking about screen usage in learning environments since 2013, long before most districts had a policy on the subject. AI policy still doesn't exist in most school districts in 2026. Meta and YouTube just lost a major court case over intentionally building products harmful to kids. And the principals who bought Edtech tools during COVID are still living with implementations they never had time to design properly. Kris returns to the RuckusCast to name the problem clearly: technology in schools is being treated as the experience instead of a tool within the experience — and that distinction is costing students more than anyone wants to admit.

Anne Walker is the Head Coach for Women's Golf at Stanford University, and has established herself as one of the premier college coaches in the country. In addition to leading the Cardinal to its first four NCAA titles in school history (2015, 2022, 2024, 2026), Walker has mentored some of the most recognizable names in the sport. Stanford has enjoyed unprecedented team and individual success under Walker. The Cardinal has qualified for the NCAA Championships in all 14 possible seasons during Walker's tenure, including nine appearances in the national semifinals, and has earned the distinction of being the only program in the country to reach the NCAA match play quarterfinal stage in all 11 seasons of the current format. Under Walker's guidance, Stanford has captured 59 full-field victories and has produced 42 All-Americans. Stanford has had at least one first-team All-American in all 14 seasons with Walker at the helm, including three consecutive seasons of five All-Americans A three-time WGCA National Coach of the Year (2015, 2022, 2024) and five-time conference Coach of the Year (2015, 2021-22, 2024, 2026), Walker has mentored the likes of Rachel Heck, Andrea Lee, Paula Martín Sampedro, Mariah Stackhouse, Albane Valenzuela and Rose Zhang, a heralded group that has combined to win three NCAA individual titles, three ANNIKA Award honors, three WCGA Golfer of the Year Award nods and six conference Golfer of the Year Award accolades. In our conversation today, we speak about the importance of giving players autonomy and ownership of the experience, how to lead with love, the importance of optimism, and being a lifelong learner. Walker shares stories around incredible team meetings and coaching moments throughout her 24-year career. You will want to take notes for this one.   CAPTAIN: THE ATHLETE'S GUIDE TO BEING AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM LEADER is now live on Amazon!  CLICK HERE TO ORDER We are constantly asked "where have all the leaders gone?"

The Patsy Cline Theater isn't just an auditorium — it's Winchester's de facto civic center. From Willie Nelson to Vince Gill to Sara Evans, from the Apple Blossom coronations to 35 years of community gatherings, it's where Winchester has shown up for itself. And the seats, after nearly 40 years of student traffic and standing ovations, are showing every bit of their age. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes an old friend back to the show — Larry Weiss, Executive Director of the Winchester Education Foundation — for a conversation about how the Foundation supports Winchester Public Schools and the year-long Community Comfort Campaign to replace all 1,100 seats and the carpeting in the historic theater. Larry walks through the full scope of the Foundation's work — scholarships for graduating Handley seniors, a unique endowment from Mindy Loy that funds continuing education for Handley graduates who come back to teach in Winchester schools, and the brick-and-mortar work that brought the Emil and Grace Shihadeh Innovation Center into existence (now featured in a national PBS-style documentary called Multiple Choice). Plus: a special August benefit concert at the Patsy Cline Theater by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Valerie Smith, whose new "musical journal" Maggie's Journal sets her grandmother's post-Civil War handwritten journal to bluegrass, Americana, and roots music — with all proceeds going to the seating campaign. ABOUT THE COMMUNITY COMFORT CAMPAIGN A year-long fundraising campaign by the Winchester Education Foundation to replace all 1,100 seats and the carpeting in the Patsy Cline Theater at John Handley High School — the venue that serves not just the school but the wider Winchester community as a civic center, concert hall, and Apple Blossom event space. Total project cost is estimated at approximately $1 million. New seating and carpeting installation is targeted for summer 2027. WAYS TO PARTICIPATE • $350 names a seat — name tag can honor anyone (teacher, parent, classmate, graduating student) • Purchase an entire row to reunite a graduating class • Take one of the old seats home as a souvenir when they're uninstalled • Any contribution — from $10 to $10,000 — moves the campaign forward • The balcony will be dedicated in honor of Russ Potts • All 1991-era donor name tags will be moved to the new seats, preserving the theater's history BENEFIT CONCERT — VALERIE SMITH'S MAGGIE'S JOURNAL Saturday, August 1, 2026 • 7:00 PM Sunday, August 2, 2026 • 2:00 PM matinee Patsy Cline Theater, John Handley High School LINKS & RESOURCES • Winchester Education Foundation — winchestereducationfoundation.org (click the Community Comfort Campaign graphic on the homepage) • Valerie Smith — thevaleriesmith.com (concert tickets and information) THE VALLEY TODAY with Janet Michael — A decade of conversations.

Sheila Dillon looks at the plans to overhaul England's school food standards, from cutting back on fried food, puddings and processed meat to serving more fruit and veg. She hears from pupils, caterers and campaigners who all want better school meals, but don't always agree on how to get there. With concerns about cost and practicality, she asks what these changes might really mean for schools trying to make them work, and what the School Food System in Japan might tell us about the nations health. Featuring interviews recorded at Penwortham Girls' High School in Preston; Anna Taylor from The Food Foundation; Writer Heather Parry; Luke Consiglio from caterers The Pantry; Belfast Paediatrican Dr Jonathan Henderson, chef and food writer Suzie Lee; Naomi Duncan from Chefs in Schools; and Colette Fox from ProVeg International.

Dr. Nicole Alioto, Social Psychologists, looks at what makes school districts transformative, changing the lives of the students and improving our culture. Dr. Alioto, educator, data expert and author of You Can Measure Anything!: An Educator's Guide to Measuring What Is Hard to Define (May 2026), argues that the problem is not a lack of data. It's that schools often try to measure these outcomes before clearly defining what they actually mean.   She explains:  "Morale" means something different to a first-year teacher, a veteran educator, and a building principal. "Trust" looks different in a high-performing school and one in crisis. Until a district builds a shared definition — one developed with input from the people the data are supposed to represent — any survey it runs is measuring something. Just not necessarily the thing it thinks it's measuring.Enjoy this insightful conversation on a truly significant opportunity to shape our future generations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

n this special episode led by Mary Fey, Dr. Penni Watts, President of INACSL, joins us to discuss what we learned helping two nursing schools achieve INACSL endorsement, and how other nursing programs can get there! Listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/medicalsimulation What does high-quality simulation look like in practice and how do nursing programs know they're achieving it? Using the Center for Medical Simulation's recent work with the University of Maine System as a case study, Mary and Penni discuss how endorsement becomes less about recognition and more about creating a disciplined process for reflection, alignment, and improvement. For nursing leaders focused on competency-based education and workforce readiness, the conversation offers a practical perspective on building simulation programs that scale while maintaining quality. Topics include continuous improvement, faculty development, stronger partnerships with clinical organizations, and moving simulation from isolated events into an intentional curriculum that better prepares learners for practice.

For years, child care marketing followed a pretty familiar formula: build a beautiful website, drive traffic, collect reviews, book tours, and convert families once they walk through the door. But in 2026, that path just is not as neat or predictable as it used to be. Families are researching differently, AI is changing how information gets found, and many parents are making decisions long before they ever visit a school in person.   In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Parissa Snider, Chief Marketing Officer at WatchMeGrow, for a conversation that goes far beyond ads and websites. Together, they talk about trust, transparency, parent psychology, and what the full family experience now says about your brand, from the first search to the tour to the follow-up after. This episode is a fresh look at what enrollment and marketing really mean now, and why the schools that build trust most clearly are the ones families are more likely to choose.   Key Takeaways: [5:45] Marketing now lives inside the full family experience, not just in ads or website clicks. [6:10] Parents are increasingly getting answers from AI before they ever visit a school's website. [8:10] The old marketing funnel is no longer linear and has become a messy back-and-forth decision process. [8:33] Lower website traffic does not always mean lower interest if families are still converting further down the path. [10:08] Schools need website content that helps AI understand and surface real information about who they are. [12:10] FAQs matter more than ever when they answer the actual questions families are really asking. [13:01] Transparency around difficult topics is becoming a stronger trust-builder, not a liability. [15:05] In many cases, pricing transparency creates more confidence than withholding information. [19:02] The strongest websites speak to parents' fears and needs, not just the school's features. [21:11] Families want the curtain pulled back and are more likely to trust schools that show the real experience. [22:55] Trust and reassurance are deeply human needs, which is why communication matters so much in child care.

What if the families leaving your school aren't actually leaving because of sports or busy schedules? What if there's something deeper going on that most schools aren't building on purpose? In this episode, I explore one of the most important retention insights I've come across in years of running music schools: the difference between students who do music and students who become musicians. Youth sports accidentally get this right all the time. Music schools often accidentally get it wrong. And once you see the structural reason why, you can start to fix it. What We Cover • Why the same child who cried when soccer was cancelled shrugged when piano was cancelled • How identity drives behavior far more reliably than interest or motivation • Why sports accidentally build tribes while music schools sometimes accidentally build customers • What I unexpectedly discovered when I built Kidzrock • Practical questions every music school owner should sit honestly with right now IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: • Why families rarely quit activities their child has deeply claimed as their own — and what that means for your school • The real difference between "I want to learn guitar" and "I am a guitarist" (it sounds small, but it changes everything) • How sports create belonging accidentally through structure, and how music schools can engineer the same thing on purpose • Specific low-lift tactics to create identity and community without overhauling your entire program • The three questions your students are silently asking that determine whether they stay or leave • Why your teaching is probably already great — and why that might not be the thing to focus on right now davesimonsmusic.com

ACTS 1:12-26 - THE APOSTLES - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026"Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.Matthias Chosen15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”18 (Now this man purchased a field with the [g]wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:‘Let his dwelling place be desolate,And let no one live in it';and,‘Let another take his office.'21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

ACTS 2:1:17 - FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026"When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.The Crowd's Response5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”Peter's Sermon14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,Your young men shall see visions,Your old men shall dream dreams.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

The cultivation of mission and identity is pivotal to any mission-driven organization. It gets to not only the why of the work, but also the larger context, the history and the people. A shared mission can sustain work across time zones and languages and varied socio-political contexts. Understanding the mission of an organization — how it's been interpreted and applied and lived out of — is crucial to that organization's continued success. It's more than a common language; it's a shared lifeblood. Jesuit institutions take mission and identity work seriously. You see offices for mission and Jesuit colleges and universities; you meet mission officers in Jesuit apostolates the world over. These are the folks who help you not only remember Latin words like cura personalis; these are the folks who help you understand how to live it out in your particular context based on your particular skills. Mark Dushel stands in the long, storied legacy of Ignatian collaborators entrusted with passing on our Jesuit mission and charism. But Mark has been given a unique role through which to do so. He is the newly minted director of Ignatian Mission and Faith Formation for three different yet interrelated schools in Baltimore, MD: Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, St. Ignatius Loyola Academy and The Loyola School. These schools — all founded by Jesuit priest, Fr. Bill Watters, over the course of several decades — allow children from as early as two years old all the way through high school to pursue a tuition-free Jesuit education. The mission is critical and has been bearing fruit for generations. Mark, for his part, comes to this work well-prepared. He has a Master's in theology and ministry from Boston College — where he first encountered the Jesuits — and served in campus ministry at St. Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia and later at Loyola University Maryland. He began his work as director for mission in 2025. There's a lot we can learn from Mark's work, from his collaboration across schools to his efforts to introduce the Ignatian charism to children as young as two to the accompaniment his mission-centered role means for the families of his students. That's why today's host Eric was excited to talk with Mark — and why we know you will enjoy this conversation.

For the more than 7.5 million students in the United States who receive special education services, access to a quality education is not just an aspiration—it is a legal right. Yet despite federal protections through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which guarantees students a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), significant disparities in access, quality, and outcomes continue to exist across the country. Today, approximately 15% of all public school students—more than one in every seven children—receive special education services, making this one of the most important issues facing public education today. In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, I sit down with Mitch Elatkin, Senior Director of Specialized Services for ReGeneration Schools, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring every child has access to a high-quality, college-preparatory education. ReGeneration Schools currently serves students through a network of schools in Chicago and Cincinnati, with a mission of developing values-driven leaders while preparing young people to lead free and fulfilling lives. Mitch oversees special education, Section 504 services, and related supports across multiple schools. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in special education leadership—including roles with KIPP Public Schools and the Noble Network of Charter Schools—he brings a unique perspective on what schools are doing well, where they are falling short, and what meaningful improvements are needed to better serve students with disabilities. During our conversation, Mitch discusses the realities facing educators, students, and families navigating special education today. We explore the importance of inclusive learning environments, the role of co-teaching models, how administrators' mindsets impact student outcomes, and why creating systems that focus on both academic achievement and student belonging is critical for long-term success. We also examine the persistent challenges facing special education nationwide. Research shows that access to services and educational quality can vary significantly based on factors such as geography, socioeconomic status, race, and disability category. These inequities often create barriers that prevent students from receiving the support they need to thrive. Whether you're an educator, school leader, parent, advocate, or policymaker, this conversation offers valuable insights into how schools can move beyond compliance and toward truly inclusive educational practices that empower every student. If we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, then conversations like this are essential. Mitch Elatkin shares a thoughtful and practical vision for creating schools where all students—not just some—have the support they need to reach their full potential.     For more information: https://regenerationschools.org/ LinkedIn: @Mitch Elatkin, Ed.D.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Every year I step completely outside education and bring back five books that have nothing to do with schools — and everything to do with building one. This is my 2026 Summer Reading List, and it's the hardest one I've ever put together. None of these books are education books. But every single one has something real to say about the culture you're trying to build — and the kind of principal you're becoming while you build it. The 5 books on this year's list: Leading with Dignity by Donna Hicks Originals by Adam Grant One Word That Will Change Your Life by Jon Gordon, Dan Britton & Jimmy Page Strong Ground by Brené Brown The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader by Melissa Murray After you watch, I'm curious. Tell me what books you're reading right now in the comments. I'll be reading every one and who knows? Your suggestion might just end up on next year's list.

Al & Jerry: Security at high schools, Robert Plant should be more like David Lee Roth and Chris Russo on what makes a good sports radio host

This week on the podcast, we are doing a little something different. It's a conversation between JP Nerbun and John regarding the nearly simultaneous release of their new books on being a team captain and leader. Some people might think it interesting that authors with similar subjects would be collaborating on a book launch, but both of us do not believe in the scarcity mindset. The leadership space needs more books that are approachable for young athletes, high school athletes, and collegiate athletes, and we approach the topic differently. JP comes from a fable/fictional approach, while John and Jerry are straight up non fiction. The two books together speak to many aspects of leadership, albeit in differnt ways.  J.P. Nerbun (@TOCCulture) is a bestselling author, leadership coach, and the founder of TOC Culture Consulting, a leading global sports consulting and leadership coaching business. His mission is to support leaders and their teams in achieving their full potential through 1:1 coaching, consulting, and community engagement. Nerbun's impressive expertise extends across various fields, including sports, education, healthcare, and business. He has a proven track record of guiding leaders at prestigious institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, the University of Texas, the USGA, PwC, and Chick-fil-A. In 2019, he published his first book, "Calling Up: Discovering Your Journey to Transformational Leadership," which received critical acclaim. In 2022, he released "The Culture System," a groundbreaking book that offers a framework for developing team culture. In 2023, he launched The Culture System Online Training Platform, which has received praise for being the most comprehensive online coach education platform available. His podcast, "Coaching Culture," is among the top sports leadership podcasts globally. His new book is called The Culture Captain and you can grab a copy here.
