In 2023, Oregon lawmakers passed HB 3198, which created the Early Literacy Success Initiative, an effort to address the state’s dismal reading test scores. The bill aimed to more fully adopt a phonics-based teaching approach — often referred to as "the science of reading" — in schools across the state. Education experts broadly agree this approach is the best way to teach kids to read. But the question became: How will the state hold school systems accountable for implementing it? Earlier this year, Oregon passed another bill aimed at just that, but some experts worry it’s toothless.   Christine Pitts is the president and CEO of Open School and an Oregon-based policy expert. She joins us to unpack the many reasons Oregon's ability to implement the "science of reading" has been stalled. Steve Cook, the superintendent of Bend-La Pine Schools and president elect of the Oregon Association of School Executives, also joins us for a closer look at how districts are tackling Oregon’s literacy problem.

Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called, "The Gods of the Copybook Headings."  It's all about propaganda.  Most of what we hear about our so-called education system is exactly that.  We are all told that we have to continue to pay high property taxes to pay for "our high quality education system."  That's what Grady Hutcherson from the WEA called it.  But is it really?  Do our test scores really justify the hundreds of millions that we throw at Wyoming education? The short answer is not even close.  But you don't understand the reality of it until you look at the national NAEP scores as Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder told the Appropriations Committee to do. If we aren't paying to educate our students, what are we paying for exactly?  I reality of where we are at will shock you.

We often say that "golf is a microcosm of life," but in this episode of the Imagen Golf Podcast, that phrase takes on a profound new meaning. Daniel sits down with Tim Thrasher, the Superintendent of the Cedar Creek Corrections Center in Washington State, to discuss one of the most unique and impactful programs in the country: The Cedar Creek Golf Club.This isn't just a story about hitting balls; it is a deep dive into how the specific mechanics and ethics of golf are being used to rehabilitate inmates and prepare them for re-entry into society.In this episode, we cover:The "Self-Policing" Philosophy: For the average golfer, calling a penalty on yourself when the ball moves an inch in the rough is a test of character. Tim explains how this exact principle—integrity when no one is watching—is used to teach accountability to men who have historically struggled with following society's rules.From Softball Fields to Fairways: Learn the fascinating logistics of how a golf program operates inside a minimum-security perimeter. Tim details the humble beginnings using mats, foam balls, and a retrofitted softball field, and how this stripped-down version of the game highlights the purity of the sport.Turf Management & Career Skills: Beyond the swing, the program introduces inmates to the agronomy of golf. We discuss how learning to care for the "course" provides vocational skills in landscaping and turf management that translate to real jobs post-release.The Graduation Round: Tim shares the emotional journey of taking qualified inmates outside the wire to play The Home Course. We explore the sensory overload of that experience—the smell of fresh cut grass, the expanse of a real fairway—and how it serves as a powerful metaphor for the freedom they are working toward.Why You Should Listen: If you love the game for its mental challenges, its demand for patience, and its code of honor, this episode validates everything you believe about golf. It proves that the lessons we learn on the tee box—patience, emotional control, and honesty—are powerful enough to change the trajectory of a human life.

How independent data and university research are helping validate water savings and drive smarter adoption of new technology. How Bloom Golf Partners helped Capillary design and recruit for a brand-new Field Technology & Quality Manager role from scratch.

What if the difference between surviving the principalship and loving it again came down to how you spend 90 minutes of your day? In this energizing episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with longtime collaborators Dr. Joseph Jones and Dr. T.J. Vari from The Schoolhouse 302 to explore how their new book, Time, Tools and Tactics of Instructional Leadership, A Principal's Guide to Leading Learning, helps leaders escape operational overload and step fully into the role of instructional leader.​ Joe and T.J. share the story behind their partnership, from trail runs at White Clay Creek to blogging, keynoting, and coaching leaders across the country, all centered on one belief, iron sharpens iron and leadership should never be left to chance. They unpack practical systems like asking, “Does this need to get done now, and does it need to be done by me?”, reverse time blocking, and their AFA framework, anchor, focus, align, which together help administrators reclaim their calendars and refocus on what happens in classrooms.​ Listeners will hear how nine concrete leadership systems make it realistic to visit four to six classrooms a day, deliver specific, neuroscience-informed praise, and build clarity around a small set of high-leverage “look fors” that every teacher understands and can grow toward. Whether you are an aspiring leader, a new assistant principal, or a veteran principal feeling stuck in management mode, this conversation offers a clear first step, audit your calendar, define what 50 percent instructional work could look like, and start removing the “pebbles in your shoe” that keep you from leading learning with purpose and impact.

CHSAA SETTLES ON BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS And this is just the first round as districts like D49 in Colorado Springs refuse to allow fundamental unfairness to harm girls. According to the settlement reached and announced yesterday, D49 and its co-plaintiffs will be allowed to do the following:• Maintain separate sports teams for biological boys and girls.• Keep locker rooms and overnight travel accommodations separated by biological sex.• Avoid CHSAA-imposed penalties for upholding these policies.• Comply with Title IX and the U.S. Constitution while rejecting mandates that put student privacy at risk.All of which is perfectly NORMAL (more on that later in the blog).
