I worked as a therapist in an NHS adult eating disorder service on and off between house moves, babies and life between 2004 and 2023. Working in the NHS had never been my strategic career plan. At 23 years old, I knew that I wanted to work in eating disorders, but the chaos of my early twenties meant that I was running on ideas and dreams, rather than having any concrete plan. Initially, my decision to train as a therapist came from my own wounded healer abandonment issues and wanting to save others. This wounded place was a helpful starting point and initiation for change. It gave me purpose and hope as I floundered in the choppy waters of life, but feeling reassured by the distant lighthouse shining its beacon out to sea. I began my therapist training aged 25, with vigorous youthful enthusiasm and joy. 4 years later and working in Student Support at my local university, I fell upon a job advert for an eating disorder therapist. It was a new service coming to my city and embedded deeply in a psychological approach to treatment. I decided to apply, even though officially, I was an unsuitable candidate for the role. Miraculously, I was offered the job and the incredible mentors who interviewed me back in 2004, continue to be in my life today. And it opened me up to a whole wealth of experience and learning for the next 19 years.   This episode explores 9 things I learned on this journey.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html    

Pursuing an education is a political act. Working in a registrar's office means providing service. In the currently divisive political climate, with an ever diversifying student (and faculty and staff) population, how can we provide the kind of servant leadership our communities need?Key Takeaways:Being a servant leader is about treating people with respect, putting others' needs ahead of your own, listening, being empathetic, and building community.The coming years are going to be a challenge for higher education and so each of us needs to take care of ourselves, but also look out for and support one another. That includes our staff, faculty, and students. Engaging in positive action outside the office can help maintain a sense of control, a sense of purpose, and a commitment to service. Host:Doug McKennaregistrarpodcast@gmail.com   References and Additional Information:What is Servant Leadership? Recommended Reading List - Compiled from multiple sources, including some AACRAO members!Syllabus for Civil Resistance: How It Works (GOVT 1134 Harvard Kennedy School)Twenty Lessons for Fighting Tyranny | Carnegie Reporter Winter 2022Paradox of tolerance - WikipediaFind Your Members in the U.S. CongressLegal Defense FundPost-Election Resources to Defend Against Trumpism - Stop AAPI HateAmerican Civil Liberties UnionKnow Your Rights: If You Encounter ICE | National Immigrant Justice Center

Your phone chimes with an email from your digital course student at 11pm on Friday night. They are going through Module 2 and are stuck. There is a typo in the worksheet and it doesn't match up with what you are saying in the video. The student says that they want to make it through your online course, but this is creating a roadblock.Immediately you regret picking up your phone to browse funny cat videos as you unwind from the week, and the second feeling is one of dread and worry. You've already shut down your computer for the day, but you don't want a student to get frustrated with you. You are wondering what that issue between the worksheet and video is, because as much as you wrack your brain you can't quite figure out what could have happened. As you start to go through the scenarios in your head, you notice that your heart starts to speed up a little as you wonder if this student will go to the community and complain and get everyone riled up or if they will ask for a refund. We've all had those moments of panic where a student needs support, but we are not available. Whether it is because we are tending to a medical appointment or have shut down for the day. As small business owners, as creators of online courses, what is the right answer here? I can tell you right now, it isn't to jump up at 11pm on a Friday night to figure out what is going on.

The National College of Ireland has announced that its Autism Friendly status has been renewed by the Autism advocacy group AsIAm. NCI was first accredited as an Autism Friendly Higher Education Institution by AsIAm in 2021, being the second HEI in the world to achieve this award. Founder and CEO of AsIAm Adam Harris said, "We would like to warmly congratulate the National College of Ireland on achieving its second Autism-Friendly HEI Award, building on the success of the college's first Autism-Friendly HEI Award, which was implemented over the course of the last 3 years." "In achieving and maintaining this standard, NCI is demonstrating its long-term commitment to breaking down barriers for Autistic students and staff and formally recognising the clear benefits of ensuring all in their college community have the same chance to access, engage with and contribute to NCI life," said Harris. AsIAm's Autism Friendly HEI initiative addresses the fact that although more autistic people are entering higher education, the number who graduate is comparatively small. Furthermore, those who do graduate are likely to experience unemployment or underemployment. Nurturing an autism-friendly environment in a college can go a long way toward alleviating these problems. "At National College of Ireland, we are delighted to continue our relationship with AsIAm and continue on our journey to making the college experience, for all staff and students, accessible, welcoming and positive," said Karen Mooney, Student Support and Welfare Manager at NCI. NCI to launch brand new course focused on harnessing neurodiversity in the workplace: National College of Ireland is proud to announce that NCI will now be offering a brand new course that explores neurodiversity with a view to graduates gaining a solid base of knowledge and skills to take advantage of the opportunities and develop strategies around the challenges for organisations gaining the full potential of Neurodiverse employees. The Certificate in Harnessing Neurodiversity in the Modern Workplace course will take place online for 5 weeks. This course has been carefully designed for: An individual who is working or planning to work in an organisation with a neurodiverse workforce Employers who want to understand and access neurodiverse talent and/or harness the neurodiversity of their current workforce Individuals within the neurodiverse community seeking a greater understanding of themselves and how they can better contribute to the workplace People with a Clinical / Psychological / Occupational Therapy background who assist people from the neurodiversity community seeking employment "I am very proud of the National College of Ireland's revalidation as an Autism Friendly HEI. This award represents an ongoing, collaborative, living commitment to make the College a welcoming place for autistic students," said NCI President, Professor Gina Quin.

To get our weekly Instructional Coaching Tips sent right to your inbox, please subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Conversation Takeaways Co-teaching involves working collaboratively with another teacher or instructional coach to create dynamic and effective lessons. Successful co-teaching partnerships require planning, communication, and the establishment of essential agreements. Co-teaching can benefit both teachers and students by providing opportunities for professional growth, shared expertise, and differentiated instruction. Technology tools such as learning management systems and digital whiteboards can support co-teaching practices. Administrators play a crucial role in supporting and facilitating co-teaching initiatives in schools. Tips for Effective Co-Teaching: Regular Planning: Allocate time for regular planning and reflection to ensure lessons are cohesive and both teachers are on the same page. Clear Communication: Establish open lines of communication. Discuss roles, responsibilities, and expectations clearly to avoid misunderstandings. Mutual Respect and Trust: Build a strong professional relationship based on mutual respect and trust. This helps in managing the classroom effectively and in supporting each other's teaching style. Flexibility: Be open to switching roles and trying different co-teaching models to see what works best for your classroom. Focus on Student Needs: Always keep the needs of the students at the forefront. Adjust your approach based on what will best support their learning. By choosing the right co-teaching model and implementing it effectively, educators can create a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment that benefits all students.

In this podcast episode, hosts and guest Curtis discuss the concept of collaborative response, an educational framework designed to replace traditional multi-tiered systems of supports (MTSS) and response to intervention (RTI) models. The collaborative response model is outlined as consisting of three foundational components: setting up collaborative structures and processes in schools, utilizing data and evidence to inform conversations, and developing a continuum of supports tiered for different needs but not labeling students by tiers. The discussion highlights the importance of focusing on supports rather than labeling students, breaking down the first tier into two to ensure universal supports are coherent across classrooms, and establishing a culture where teacher ego is set aside to facilitate a genuine collaborative environment. The episode explores practical approaches to implementing this model in schools, emphasizing the significance of structured processes, the setting of clear roles and responsibilities, and the cultivation of a collaborative culture that prioritizes student success and involves all educators in a continuous learning process.Collaborative Response vs RTI and MTSS. Four tiersTier 1 - All instructionTier 2 - Supports, but still by the classroom teacherTier 3 - Supports provided by someone other than teacherTier 4 - Supports provided by outside the schoolTiering supports vs. Tiering studentsResponsibility of student successCollaborative team meetingsA key issue that a student is facing. Collaborative cultureSo much more powerful to have the culture and then document it, rather than announce it aspirationally. 5 ways to transform meetings free guideAbout Kurtis HewsonKurtis Hewson is an award-winning former administrator and teacher, as well as teaching faculty at the post-secondary level.  He is the co-founder of Jigsaw Learning, a co-author of the text Collaborative Response: Three Foundational Components That Transform How We Respond to the Needs of Learners (Corwin, 2022), and currently works with districts and schools nationally and internationally establishing Collaborative Response frameworks and interacting with thousands of educators annually.
