Podcasts about Solomons

Today, my guest is Glenn Solomons, an educator, learning designer and professional learning specialist whose career has taken him from art and design and studies in architecture, through to classroom teaching and school leadership, to designing professional learning experiences. Glenn shares how ten years in the classroom gradually led him into school leadership, where he discovered another passion: working with adults and facilitating teacher professional learning. Glenn describes the twists and turns that took him beyond the school classroom, from designing professional learning for school leaders across Australia, to developing online and blended learning and eventually establishing his own business, Cheeky Learning. We take a closer look at one of Glenn's recent projects with the Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People, where he co-designed a series of online modules to support teacher mentors working with early career teachers. We explore the challenges that led to the project, the importance of co-design, the use of case studies and storyboarding, and the value of testing and gathering feedback on learning design approaches with real teachers. Our conversation also explores some of the human side of learning design. Glenn talks about trust, relationships, empathy and responsibility—and why understanding the people you're working with can be just as important as having a sound design process. We discuss the idea of being "kind to the person, tough on ideas", and how relationships can help people navigate differences of opinion without turning them into personal conflicts. Throughout our conversation is Glenn's strong belief that professional learning needs to bridge the gap between theory and practice. That is, rather than simply giving participants interesting information and sending them on their way, Glenn asks a simple question: Will this make a difference to what someone does tomorrow or Monday morning? We unpack Glenn's own learning design process—from understanding the problem you're actually trying to solve, through sequencing content into a coherent learning "thread", using case studies to apply ideas, developing action plans, and testing and iterating the final product. Glenn offers thoughtful reflections on designing learning that is practical, human and genuinely useful.

A Career Dedicated to Transformation:Juwairiyah Morat Solomons by Radio Islam

In this interview with Chris Steyn, Build One South Africa (BOSA) mayoral candidate for the City of Cape Town, Roger Solomons, describes how unaffordable it has become for ordinary citizens to live and do business in the Mother City. “I've crisscrossed the city, not just during this campaign trail, but during my public service, across all of Cape Town, all 118 wards, and the overwhelming majority of Capetonians say that life has become way harder over the last five to ten years… The people who nurse here in the city of Cape Town, police here, teach here, are finding it hard to live here. And that is an injustice…We want to build a New York and a London at the expense of ordinary Capetonians who just can't afford it.. So we have ordinary Capetonians who actually are building this beautiful city of ours; they're physically building, they're on construction sites, but they cannot afford to experience it. And that has got to stop.” Solomons vows to make affordable living and working his priority should he become mayor: “The principle that I would govern and lead the city by is not how much it costs the city, but how much it costs you and I as a resident.” His other priorities are equality in service delivery and more effective crime prevention measures.

The mother of a Kiwi climber trapped in ravine in Solomon Islands for more than a week says her son and his friend are doing well, after a pretty harrowing experience. Deni Holl's 25 year old son Keanu Isaksson and his 19 year old mate Luca Zylstra-Law were climbing the Solomons' highest peak when they got stuck for eight days before being rescued on Tuesday.

In this Wednesday Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan sets the record straight on Washington's devastating Spokane wildfires, sparked by a convicted arsonist and falsely blamed on climate change, while Communist Democrats rack up major primary wins across the country. Bryan answers listener questions on why the Democratic Socialists keep pushing radical, dispiriting rhetoric, the case for killing the Senate filibuster to stop a coming Communist takeover, and growing frustration with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin's softer stance on deportations and legal immigration. He also breaks down a shocking new report that one in five American workers tested positive for drugs. Plus, Bryan covers Trump's plans to rebuild America's critical mineral and mining industry, Morocco's king dodging blame for orchestrating the Muslim migrant invasion of Spain, why oil companies aren't really to blame for high gas prices, and a major US win in the Pacific with a new port deal in the Solomon Islands aimed at countering China.

The government has announced it is withdrawing its support for Lakapi Samoa; two NZers stuck on mountain in the Solomons, then rescued; Solomon Islands signs a shiprider agreement with the US coastguard; more killings in West Papua as conflict deepens, and Cook Islands goes to the polls next week.

A survivor's story - the unexploded bombs that kill and injure up to 20 people a year in the Solomon Islands.  

On Thanksgiving Eve, 1943, off Cape St. George in the Solomon Islands campaign, Captain Arleigh "31-Knot" Burke's Destroyer Squadron 23 ambushed a Japanese resupply convoy in total darkness — sinking the destroyers Onami, Makinami, and Yugiri, killing 647 Japanese sailors and soldiers, without losing a single American life or ship. The U.S. Naval War College would later call it "an almost perfect surface action." This episode traces how eighteen months of costly night-battle failures in the Solomons finally produced a decisive American victory, why this battle ended the Tokyo Express for good, and why Burke's name still sails the seas today aboard the destroyers that bear it.
