In today's episode, host Tina Yeager is joined by Dr. Natalie Ford, a licensed professional counselor, speaker, author, and, as she calls herself, a “Hope dealer.” Together, they tackle the pressing and often unspoken subject of how to help children grieve after losing someone to suicide. Drawing from her own personal experiences with loss, as well as her professional expertise, Dr. Ford shares practical insights on navigating the initial shock, understanding when to seek support, and the importance of honesty and routine for grieving children. The episode also guides parents and caregivers through age-appropriate ways to discuss suicide, key warning signs to watch for, and steps to take to prevent further tragedy. Whether you're supporting your own family or looking for ways to help others in your community, this heartfelt conversation provides wisdom, resources, and hope for one of life's most difficult journeys. Stay tuned as we break the silence and lift each other up through compassionate understanding and practical guidance. Highlights from This Episode: Dr. Ford's Personal Journey Dr. Ford shares her journey of loss, having experienced suicide in her immediate family. Out of both necessity and calling, she discovered a lack of practical resources to help parents guide grieving children, spurring her to write her latest book so that families don't have to walk this journey alone. Responding During the Shock Period In the immediate aftermath of suicide, parents and children alike often function in survival mode. Dr. Ford encourages leaning on supportive friends, family, and community during this overwhelming time and waiting for the shock to subside before rushing into counseling—unless ongoing dysfunction or distress signals a need for earlier intervention. When & How to Seek Help If daily tasks remain unmanageable for weeks or a child is overwhelmed by guilt, shame, or unrelenting questions about their loved one's death, it may be time to seek support—either through counseling or survivor support groups. Dr. Ford specifically recommends looking into resources from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, such as Survivors of Suicide (SOS) groups. Talking to Kids at Different Ages Dr. Ford advises honesty, using age-appropriate language. For younger children, simple explanations may be sufficient, while school-age children and teens require more detailed, open conversations. She stresses the importance of answering questions directly and reassuring children that they aren't to blame. Recognizing Warning Signs & Preventing Further Tragedy Those who have experienced suicide loss are at increased risk themselves. Watch for behavioral changes in children, such as withdrawal, acting out, or changes in eating and sleeping patterns. If you suspect a child is struggling, ask direct, caring questions and offer ongoing support. Don't hesitate to ask about suicidal thoughts and intent. Supporting Parents and Caregivers Dr. Ford emphasizes self-care for grieving parents—including maintaining routines for children, seeking support, and allowing children to grieve in their own way and time. Bringing trusted mentors and church community alongside your family can provide much-needed support—especially if children are hesitant to share the burden of their feelings with grieving parents. Resources for You Dr. Ford's latest book, “Through the Tears: Helping Children Grieve After Suicide Loss,” provides practical scripts, guides for different age groups, signs to watch for, and ways to honor lost loved ones. It is available on Amazon and at drfordwrites.com. A Final Word Grief after suicide is a long journey, but you and your child don't have to walk it alone.

Is it almost time for student teachers to finally get paid for their work? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a Podcast for Teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon dive into a new bill that could drastically renew the interest in the teaching profession. They also ask the question, are teachers really that bad as audience members? Finally they are going to be sharing the funniest ways that students have completely outed their parents in the classroom. First, we talk about the newest bill in California that could finally pay student teachers for their hard work. We all know how it was to struggle through unpaid student teaching, and hopefully this could possibly attract and or keep more teachers in the profession. Tune in to hear our take! Teachers may be pros in the classroom, but according to Devin, they can be absolute chaos as an audience. At conferences and comedy shows, they're notorious for breaking the very rules they enforce with their students. From standing up mid-presentation to scrolling on their phones, it's a complete madhouse, hear us theorize why teachers make such bad audience members. Finally, we wrap things up with pure comedy gold: the funniest, and most brutally honest, things kids have told teachers about their parents. From mom's “special drink” to dad's two-minute “date nights”, these anecdotes remind us why teaching is never boring.

Copywriters are teachers. We teach customers how the products and services we write about help them. In this episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I spoke with teacher turned copywriter Meredith Cooley about all the ways copywriters use their teaching skills. Even if you don't think you're a teacher, you'll learn a lot from this episode—including a simple copywriting lesson from Bluey. Yes, that Bluey. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Turn the Page Newsletter The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Research Mastery   Transcript: Rob Marsh: Copywriters are teachers. So should more teachers be copywriters? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. A few years ago I had a conversation with one of my copywriting mentors. She mentioned that she had considered teaching as a possible career path. And I shared that I had the same thought when I started my career. Then we talked about the number of former teachers we knew who had left the classroom to write copy. And that's when it dawned on me that copywriting isn't just something that former teachers or potential teachers do.  Copywriting is teaching. But instead of practicing that skill in a classroom, copywriters are teaching on the page or on the screen, helping potential customers learn about products and solutions, about processes and unique mechanisms, and how to solve the very real problems and pains they are experiencing in their lives. In the years since, I've interviewed close to a dozen former teachers on this podcast… people who are still teaching, just not in a formal classroom any more. Do you feel this as a copywriter? Do you see yourself as a teacher for your clients and their customers? My guest for today's podcast is Meredith Cooley, a teacher turned copywriter who has helped dozens of other teachers leave the classroom and become copywriters for various businesses around the world. Teachers have so many skills that copywriters need, from project management to engaging with stakeholders at various levels of a business. And perhaps most importantly, good teachers have to be able to take dry, boring content and make it exciting for an often disinterested and bored audience. And if you listened to last week's episode, you heard me talk about how I've started teaching marketing at a local college here in my home town. The crossover between teaching students and writing for customers is large. And that's what this episode is all about. Even if you don't see yourself as a teacher, this episode may change your mind about how you think about your relationship with the customers you write for. Before we get to our interview, this episode is brought to you by Research Mastery. Research Mastery is the one-stop program or course that will change your writing for the better. Instead of just organizing words, you'll have the tools and strategies you need to truly understand your customer so they relate to your offer and buy more often. Research Mastery digs into the 4 critical areas of research… if you miss one of them, your research just isn't complete. And it includes the A.I. tools you need to do research faster, more effectively, and more profitably.

This episode has everything: a very confusing proposition for Gasper in Arizona, students showing up to class with “water bottles” that definitely weren't water, and a kid who decided standardized testing needed more… fire. Literally. I also get into the messy overlap between teacher contracts and legal weed, why standardized tests might be measuring culture more than knowledge, and the one hill I'll absolutely die on when it comes to superintendents. It's chaotic, it's real, and it might just make you grateful your worst testing day didn't involve a human torch. Takeaways: Gasper's “oblivious” Arizona bar night that turned into one of the funniest stories of the tour. A student busted with weed and vodka—while still somehow upright in class. The ninth grader who lit their arm on fire during a state test (and insisted it was “cool”). Andrea's take on marijuana legality, teacher contracts, and the double standards around what educators can do off the clock. A fiery rant on why superintendents should never get raises when teachers don't. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). They discuss her brand new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers. Public Education and the Future of Democracy."  The book's Publisher, Penguin House, describes it as "A rousing defense of public education as the cornerstone of American democracy, by the woman attacked by the far right as “the most dangerous person in the world” Attacks on schools and teachers have long been a hallmark of fascist regimes: Throughout history, as many dictators rose to power they began banning books and controlling curriculum. Fascists fear teachers because teachers foster an educated and empowered population that can see past propaganda and scare tactics. Fascists fear teachers because they teach young people how to think for themselves. Drawing on history, stories from teachers on the front lines, and decades of experience with America's public schools, Weingarten argues that teaching students to think critically is the key to defeating would-be dictators. She encourages teachers to continue focusing on their vital mission to help young people thrive." The book is available for purchase here: https://sites.prh.com/whyfascistsfearteachers During the second half of the show, Brad is joined by Sara Haghdoosti and she is the Executive Director of Win Without War, a diverse network of activists and organizations working towards a progressive U.S. foreign policy. She details the dangers of militarizing local law enforcement, and what it means for everyday people that the President is willing to position troops in American cities to enforce his own agenda (with Memphis, TN just the latest). Based just outside of Chicago, Sara also speaks to what the local community is experiencing right now as Trump targets the city. Sara also talks about her organization's ‘Know Your Rights Campaign' for military service members that do not want to follow unlawful orders from the Trump administration: https://winwithoutwar.org/win-without-war-launches-notwhatyousignedupfor-org-for-members-of-the-military-during-trumps-authoritarian-crackdown/  Finally, Brad and Sara talk foreign policy, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as the Trump administration's controversial airstrike on a Venezuelan boat that Trump claims contained drug smugglers transporting fentanyl. Randi Weingarten is president of the 1.8 million-member AFT, which represents teachers; paraprofessionals and school-related personnel; higher education faculty and staff; nurses and other healthcare professionals; local, state and federal government employees; and early childhood educators. The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. Their website is www.AFT.org and their handle on BlueSky is @aftunion.bsky.social.  Randi's handle is @rweingarten.bsky.social. 'Win Without War' is a national grassroots organization that works with elected officials, policymakers, media, advocacy organizations, and movement leaders to promote and advance a values-based progressive national security strategy that prioritizes human security and diplomacy over war. They believe that by democratizing U.S. foreign policy and providing progressive alternatives, we can achieve more peaceful, just, and common sense policies that ensure that all people — regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, or economic status — can find and take advantage of opportunity equally and feel secure.

In today's Wake Up America Show with Austin Petersen, we dive into the fallout after the assassination of Charlie Kirk — and how the Left's cancel culture has transformed into consequences culture. Teachers, pilots, professors, a Secret Service agent, and even corporate employees have been fired or suspended for celebrating Charlie's death online. This isn't censorship — it's justice, accountability, and America finally fighting back.

It's not the logo, the schedule, or even the space — it's the teachers and the point of view that your studio holds.In this special “podcast buddy” episode, I sit down with Francesca Cervero, host of The Mentor Sessions Podcast and long-time private yoga teacher and mentor. Francesca has been teaching yoga full-time for over 20 years, runs a teacher training called The Science of the Private Lesson, and mentors yoga teachers to develop a strong, authentic teaching voice.Together, we explore the evolving yoga industry, the role of studio owners in elevating their teachers, and why having a clear point of view is more powerful (and sustainable) than trying to be everything to everyone.What you'll hear in this episode:• How yoga studios have shifted from community-led to franchise-driven — and back again• Why teachers fresh out of training aren't always ready for studio life (and how to mentor them well)• The difference between “niching down” and developing a true teaching point of view• Why your yoga studio is only as strong as the teachers who represent it• How community studios today can compete with franchise-level tools• Real talk about industry changes, competition, and what makes studios sustainable in 2025 and beyondLinks & Resources:Connect with Francesca → francescacervero.comListen to The Mentor Sessions Podcast with FrancescaBook a free strategy call with me → yogabizchamp.link/bookBook a complimentary 45 minute strategy session with the sales arms with my link https://www.thesalesarms.com/yogabizchamp Get 50% off your first three months of Offering Tree, OR 15% off an entire year with my Exclusive Discount Link Offeringtree.com/yogabizchamppodcast.

In this episode, Ryan Steuer of Magnify Learning details a five-year implementation plan for launching a Project-Based Learning (PBL) movement in a large district, specifically focusing on 13 middle schools. While the example is niche, the process is designed to be customizable and scalable for districts of any size. The episode emphasizes the importance of systematic, structural change, starting with district leadership, and leveraging the "innovation curve" to ensure widespread adoption and sustainability. Key Takeaways & Implementation Steps: Magnify Learning & PBL Networks Magnify Learning has over a decade of experience in PBL, stemming from a grassroots collaboration among educators. We are launching free PBL Networks in October to provide a safe space for educators to process ideas, collaborate, and share best practices across different PBL niches (e.g., PBL and CTE, PBL and STEM, PBL and Maker Spaces, PBL and SEL, PBL and UDL). Find more at pblnetworks.com. Collaboration is key: You should never do PBL alone. Foundation: District Leadership & Goals The implementation must start with district leadership, not a top-down mandate. Involve both secondary and elementary leaders from the outset to align mindsets and processes. Clearly define the goals of PBL for the district and individual middle schools, aligning them with the district's mission, vision, and "profile of a graduate". District leaders must model student-centered practices; principal meetings should be collaborative, not "sit and get". If district leadership isn't ready to collaborate, the initiative needs to pause and address that foundational work. Building the District PBL Team & Plan Establish a district PBL design team of 6-10 central office members. Dedicate two-day design sessions to develop the comprehensive 5-year implementation plan. Go "beyond the why" to articulate the district's collective purpose for this work. Leveraging the Innovation Curve Identify innovators: Map all 13 middle schools onto an innovation curve to identify which are "innovators," "early majority," and "late majority". This is crucial for guiding the timeline. Focus on "crossing the chasm": The biggest challenge is bridging the gap between early adopters/innovators and the early majority. This is why a 5-year plan is essential. Define roles for innovators: The initial 1-2 innovator schools will implement PBL first, transparently, and are tasked with creating resources (like group contracts, planning forms) for subsequent cohorts. This empowers them and provides tangible tools for others. Customized Implementation: While the process is systematic, each school's implementation will be customized based on their readiness (e.g., starting with a specific grade level, subject, or wall-to-wall). The "best way" is what the school's leadership and teachers are most ready for. Planned Supports & Training (Before Launch) Leadership Training: Innovator school leaders will receive training similar to the central office team, focusing on creating school-level leadership teams, structures, and processes for PBL sustainability. Teacher Training: Multi-day training, including coaching, to build a PBL mindset and culture, not just mechanics. This includes: Leadership: Design Days, Deeper Practice, Sustainability Days (over 3 years). Teachers: PBL Jump Start (theoretical unit creation), PBL Advanced (reflection, curriculum mapping), and PBL Certification (by end of Year 3 for sustainability). Pre-planning is paramount: All training, coaching, and support pathways must be planned out before the official launch to avoid "shooting from the hip" and to assure the early/late majority there's a clear plan. The 5-Year Implementation Timeline (Example for 13 Middle Schools): Year 1: District: Share vision and 5-year timeline with building leaders, have 1-on-1 conversations with innovators. Explain the "why" behind the phased approach. Cohort 1 (Innovators - e.g., 2 schools): Establish school leadership teams, build 3-year building-level plans, launch initial PBL units, and make work public through "exposes" (showcases) to invite other schools. Staff attends a PBL "jump start" over the summer. Year 2: District: Form a PBL advisory team, identify "bright spots," train principals on key leadership needs, and begin reviewing administrator evaluations and aspiring leadership pathways to align with PBL. Cohort 1: Leadership teams conduct "roses, buds, thorns" reflections, addressing teacher needs (e.g., schedule, PD, evaluations). Teachers continue public showcases and create district-wide tools (rubrics, contracts). Teachers attend "PBL Advanced" over the summer. Cohort 2 (Early Majority - e.g., 8 schools): Begin with leadership team design days and teacher "jump start" training, then implement and showcase work. Year 3: District: Invest in the PBL advisory team, train principals on evolving needs, continually share the vision, and introduce refined administrative evaluations and aspiring leadership pathways. Cohort 1: Leadership teams focus on "sustainability days" to ensure processes outlive individuals. Teachers collect data, share artifacts, publicize work through news and district channels, and achieve PBL Certification over the summer to train new hires. Cohort 2: In their second year of implementation. Cohort 3 (Late Majority - e.g., 3 schools): Begin with leadership team design days and teacher "jump start" training, having observed 10 other schools and gained insights. Year 4: District: Plan for sustaining the work beyond year five, including establishing PBL district coaches (ideally two for mentorship and continuity). Cohort 1: Lead and collaborate with other schools. Cohort 2: In their final year, getting PBL certified. Cohort 3: In their second year (PBL Advanced). Year 5 (Final Year of Initial Rollout): District: Administrative evaluations and aspiring leadership pathways are fully established. New "normals" are in place. All Middle Schools: Every middle school has a leadership team and PBL certified teachers, ensuring sustainable structures and processes. Schedules, evaluations, and PLCs are synergistic with PBL. Leaders: Continuously invest in their people and lead, rather than just manage. Community Partners: Integrated as a normal part of school, helping shape the school's positive narrative. Outcome: Middle schools become models of innovation, inspiring PBL adoption in elementary and high schools. Overarching Philosophy of Change "Go slow to go fast": Rushing implementation leads to foundational problems. Innovation starts at the top and must be modeled. Leaders must "cross the chasm" by meeting the early majority on their terms, providing clear plans and supports. This is a long game to fundamentally change mindsets, structures, and redefine educational norms, ultimately growing people and systems to achieve desired outcomes for learners. It is challenging but doable and totally worth it. Resources and links: pblnetworks.com

Parents of high schoolers are navigating rolling strikes this week - with different year groups off on different days. Single parent of two high school students Anna Ponnampalam spoke to Corin Dann.

Oklahoma's school superintendent is weaponizing education, forcing a political loyalty test from Prager U on incoming teachers from "blue" states. This isn't just about vetting educators; it's a blatant attempt to indoctrinate students with right-wing propaganda, rewrite history with claims like "slavery was better than death", and sideline critical thinking. This move undermines academic freedom, exacerbates severe teacher shortages, and sets a dangerous precedent for ideologically driven schooling, turning classrooms into battlegrounds for conservative narratives rather than places of genuine learning.News Source: Oklahoma to test teachers from New York, California for radical leftist ideologyBy Chris Williams for FOX 26 Houston August 19, 2025

LESSON 256God Is The Only Goal I Have Today.The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could be unsure of who he is? And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Thought the teachers union was your only option? Think again. In this Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter is joined by Kenai teacher Kim Bates, Anchorage teacher Aimee Sims, and Garry Sigle, Central Region Director for the Association of American Educators (AAE), to unpack what AAE is, who it serves, and how it stacks up against NEA-Alaska. If you've never heard of AAE, you're not alone. While NEA-Alaska dues can run over $1,400 a year, AAE membership costs just $19.50 a month—about $234 a year. That's a savings of more than $1,100 annually—money that stays in your pocket while still giving you day-one legal protection and $2 million in professional liability coverage, double what NEA provides. And because AAE is non-union and non-partisan, your dues go entirely to supporting you as a professional—not to political campaigns. You stay covered under your district's negotiated contract, but without paying union prices. You'll also hear how substitutes, paras, bus drivers, and other W-2 school employees can join AAE (with a low-cost option for retirees), and why—after the 2018 Janus v. AFSCME decision—membership is a choice, not a condition of employment. If you want options that align with your values and your wallet, this energetic conversation is your roadmap.

Message About Manners That Teachers Will Feel Strongly About by Maine's Coast 93.1

This episode exposes the shocking reactions from educators and administrators across the country who openly celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk. From a Department of Defense teacher at Fort Bragg to a Greenville social studies teacher, we reveal how political bias and extremist ideology are creeping into classrooms and poisoning young minds. With surveys showing that one in three college students believe violence is acceptable to silence speech, we ask: how did America get here? Join us as we break down the disturbing rise of indoctrination, the erosion of free speech, and why the fight for truth in education has never been more urgent.

Millions of kids have started school over the past few weeks – that includes students in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C, and now Chicago, all cities targeted by the Trump administration for immigration enforcement and, of course, crime. It's worth saying that, like in other cities that Trump has mentioned as evil dens of criminal miscreants, violent crime has gone down in the city of Chicago over the last year. But the president, who posted an "Apocalypse Now" inspired meme over the weekend, implying he wants to go to "war" with Chicago, doesn't seem to care much about facts and figures. But teachers do. So to learn more about how teachers in Chicago are handling a new school year and the potential for more federal incursions on the city, we spoke to Stacy Davis Gates, the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. And in headlines: revised job numbers show a much weaker job market than previously thought, Israel strikes Qatar, dealing a major blow to ceasefire talks, and American high school students' test scores hit a historic low.Show Notes:Check out the Chicago Teachers Union – https://www.ctulocal1.org/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
