Welcome to our podcast episode about the Entrepreneurial Operating System or EOS, an operating system for small businesses and process that has helped numerous small businesses achieve their goals and thrive in today's competitive market. In this episode, we'll discuss what EOS is, how it works, and the success stories of small businesses that have implemented it. What is EOS? EOS is a comprehensive business system designed to help companies become more efficient, effective, and profitable. It is based on six core components: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. The EOS process helps businesses clarify their vision, identify their core values, and set clear goals. It also focuses on creating a strong leadership team, establishing measurable performance metrics, and implementing effective processes. How does EOS work? EOS is implemented through a series of meetings and exercises. The first step is to clarify the company's vision, mission, and values. Then, the leadership team creates a plan to achieve their goals and develop the necessary processes to achieve them. EOS provides a framework for continuous improvement, where progress is tracked through regular meetings and performance metrics. Tune in to hear how EOS has been implemented at Burn Boot Camp, the areas it has positively affected, and the organizational momentum it's created for our future vision!

Are you thinking of running your first marathon? I firmly believe that every able-bodied person can run a marathon. But I don't want you to "just finish" a marathon... I want you to enjoy it and do your best! Marathon training isn't as intuitive as you might think. There are so many factors that are going to affect how to best prepare for your first marathon. Who you are, your experience level, your ability, your age, your goals, and your timeline are just some of the things you need to take into account when planning out your training. On this week's episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, Running Coach and YouTube Creator Jane Springston shares her 10+ year journey from "just finish" beginner marathoner, to qualifying for the Boston Marathon, to coaching others to do the same. In this episode, we give you the strategies you need to get started training the right way. We discuss the importance of longevity in the sport of running and how to improve from training cycle to training cycle.

As the climate changes, wildfires become more common and more dangerous. Smoke clouds from wildfires can linger for weeks, but what chemistry changes inside the smog? Aerosols amongst other particles lurk inside wildfire smoke. How do we study the changes in wildfire smoke; by flying planes through the plumes. How do wildfires impact the CO2 emissions of a region?  Can wildfires help store carbon through charcoal? What can charred biomass to do help capture carbon? Kouji Adachi, Arthur J.

Keli'i Akina interviews Bill and Mary Springston. Air Date: July 13, 2010

Last term, students were given a challenge - to create a short video to show what being a Springston A+ student means for them. Inspired by the movie 'Mankind is no Island' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrDxe9gK8Gk), the video was to have photos or short video clips of words found around the home or community. When the photos of words were put together they would make sentences or a poem, explaining what being a Springston A+ Learner means. The videos could be made at home or at school - students could enter on their own, or with friends or family members. We have had 6 entries, from 11 students, and they have done an amazing job! For many, this was their first effort using the Flip video camera, or doing any video work, let alone making their own movie. Entries were judged on how well the video expressed the characteristics of a Springston A+ learner, the use of words and images to describe the ideas, as well as the creative and innovative ways of presenting the ideas. The number of original images used, the quality of their photography/video work, and the inclusion of appropriate music, were also considered. And now, we have our winners! You can access the videos of all the entrants at our Springston School News Blog (http://springstonschoolnews.blogspot.com/). Here is the winning entry, from Oliver and Billy (Year 6 students).

Some of the Icebreakers (Year 3 and 4 students) have also created a video called 'I Am Everyone'. The same as for Room 4, they were inspired by the YouTube Video of the same name. After seeing the video, the children realised that they become a little part of everyone around them, or of the things that happen to them, or even of their pets or toys. They wanted to create their own video, so some of them brought photos to school and were able to record their favourite ideas into iMovie 09 to create this video. We'd love to hear your comments, below, on WHO or WHAT has made YOU who you are?........ I am...........?

Room 4 students (Year 2 and 3) have created a video called 'I Am Everyone'. They were inspired by a YouTube Video of the same name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI_cRXoBaoY). After seeing the video, the children realised that they become a little part of everyone around them, or of the things that happen to them, or even of their pets or toys. They wanted to create their own video, so some of them brought photos to school and were able to record their favourite ideas into iMovie 09 to create this video. We hope you enjoy it, and also reflect on who YOU are. 1:29 minutes, mpeg-4 file

The vision for our school identifies the qualities we believe our students need in order to be confident, connected, actively involved learners for life. An A+ student at Springston has the following qualities: they are self-managing learners, adventurous, accepting, articulate and adaptable - A+! To start this year off, teachers were given a task to represent these ideas in a movie, using words that were videoed or photographed around the town. It was quite a challenge! Here is Carol's effort. Follow the words carefully to see how she sees the challenges for Springston students in today's world. 3:12 minutes, 3.7 MB m4v file.

Kachina (Year 7) and Jahna (Year 6) are two investigators who have made a movie to show what an evil epidemic like the Black Death could do if you are not ready.

I hope you like my podcast! 3:56 minutes, 2.2MB, AAC file

On Tuesday 27 October, a Civil Defence Exercise was held at the school. Izaac has used iPhoto to put together this slideshow showing some of the people 'injured' during the 'disaster', and how they were rescued and assisted by the Fire Brigade and the Red Cross. 1:42 minutes, 17MB, m4v file.

Students in Room 6 have started to learn Spanish. Morgan and Kachina (both Year 7 students) decided to record a podcast about some of the interesting things they have found out about Spanish, so far.

Ms Singleton’s Room 5 students (Years 5 and 6, ages 9 and 10) have been learning about the past, and have discussed some of the ways in which we can preserve the past. Some of them have been able to look more closely at oral history, and have decided to record some of the stories of their own grandparents. They were most interested to find out about life at primary school for their grandparents and as a group developed some questions, and put them into a logical sequence. They practised their interviewing skills and learnt how to use an mp3 recorder, and Garageband on the school’s Macbooks. Then away they went with the recorders to carry out their interviews with their grandparents. Back at school they recorded their intros and outros, edited the recordings they had made, and chose some appropriate music to tie it all together. As a result, they have five oral history interviews to share with you. These will be released here on Podomatic one at a time, over the next few weeks (and the grandparents interviewed will also receive a CD with their interview). We’d love you to listen to these precious stories. The grandparents interviewed are a range of ages. How was school different for our grandparents, and how was it the same as it is today? We are very grateful to the grandparents who allowed themselves to be interviewed – they have told some marvellous stories. And, didn’t the students do well too! This was their first opportunity to do real interviews with people, and here is their work, published online for everyone to share. Our first interview is conducted by Lucy, who interviews her Grandpa, Harold Johnstone. This interview was conducted by telephone. 4:12 minutes, 4.1 MB, mp3.
