When a teacher says your child is “too smart” for special education services, it doesn't feel like a compliment — it's more like a roadblock!Parent advocate Danielle Ward joins us to unpack what this response often means and how it might signal twice exceptionality, where giftedness masks real struggles. She shares practical strategies for moving forward when the system says “no,” even when your child clearly needs support.We also break down what legally qualifies a student for an IEP, when a 504 plan might be a helpful tool, and how to push through to get your child the support they need.For more on this topic: Listen: IEPs: The difference between IEPs and 504 plansRead: All about twice-exceptional studentsBook: Differently Wired Kids, by Debbie Reber (TILT Parenting)Resource: School Avoidance AllianceTimestamps:(05:00) What is 2E (twice exceptionality)?(09:20) Who is legally eligible for an IEP?(13:04) How 504 plans can support your child(18:47) Understanding academic vs. educational impactFor a transcript and more resources, visit the In It page on Understood.org.

You hold it together all day at work, only to walk in the door and snap at the first person you see. Sound familiar? That's exactly what your child is experiencing when they come home from school—and you're not alone in wondering what on earth is happening.After-school restraint collapse is real. Many parents feel overwhelmed when their child holds it together for teachers, only to unravel at home. In this episode, I explain why this happens and share practical steps so you can help your child regulate, reset, and reconnect after a long day.Why does my child melt down after school?What looks like defiance or disrespect is really your child's nervous system waving the white flag. After a long school day filled with demands, noise, and social stress, many kids come home emotionally depleted.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Your child held it together in class, but once they feel safe at home, the emotional floodgates open. This isn't rebellion—it's release.Here's what's really happening behind those after-school meltdowns:Kids mask stress at school and let it out at home where it feels safe.Common triggers include: sensory overload, skipped meals, transitions, and sheer fatigue.Behavior is communication. Tears, shutdowns, or outbursts signal that your child's nervous system needs recovery—not punishment.When parents reframe restraint collapse as a call for regulation, it shifts everything.

“We don't need to work on decoding because students have access to assistive technology and accommodations.”“We don't work on word-decoding in high school.”“Working on reading in high school is too little too late.”If you've ever heard any of these arguments, you're not alone. Unfortunately, beliefs like these do students a huge disservice. That's why in this conversation, I share a clip from my interview with Tom Parton, an SLP with a long-career of experience in secondary education, as well as literacy advocacy work. Tom Parton is a private Speech Language Pathologist in Normal, Illinois. He retired after 35 years of public-school practice. Tom is President of Everyone Reading Illinois and is a member of ERI's Legislative Committee. Tom has presented on autism and language/literacy topics at local, state, and national conferences. Tom participated in the ISBE Reading Instruction Advisory Group and Teachers of Reading Certification task forces. He is currently a member of the ISBE Dyslexia Handbook revision team. He is past-president of the Illinois Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is ISHA Honors Committee co-chair and a member of ISHA's Leadership Development Committee. Tom is the 2024 chair of the American Speech Language Hearing Association Committee of Ambassadors.In my commentary and the clip from the interview, you'll hear discussion on:✅ Why providing access to technology alone won't solve access issues if kids lack adequate reading and spelling skills. ✅ Why accommodations and modifications aren't a substitute for reading instruction, even in secondary school. ✅ The impact of word-decoding on activities of daily living. If you're serving students in secondary school, you won't want to miss this episode.

I thought the mic stand was going to be my biggest battle this week… but between parades I didn't understand, parents at my kids' school, and voicemails that took turns I could have never prepared for, this episode had me reeling. From a teacher who declared he had his “asshole pants” on, to a locker room surprise that may or may not have been cocaine, to a student loudly announcing she was climaxing in driver's ed, let's just say, things escalated quickly. And yes, I have thoughts. Lots of them. Takeaways: When your mic starts drooping mid-speech, the crowd notices… and so does your self-esteem. Apparently, parades aren't just floats and candy, sometimes it's cement trucks and kraut balls. A teacher's slip of the tongue about “asshole pants” turned into a running gag students will never let die. The line between “potential cocaine” and “baking powder” is scarier than you think, especially when it shows up at school. There are things you expect to hear in driver's ed… “I'm climaxing” is not one of them. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

This is the first in a two-part series featuring a conversation with three secondary educators on how AI is reshaping classroom practice.Dennis and Kristina, co-authors of AI in the Writing Workshop, join Marilyn, author of several Heinemann titles including her latest, 5 Questions for Any Text. Their collective thinking and writing dovetail beautifully to address this pivotal moment in education, as AI becomes an increasingly prevalent tool in classrooms.Together, they share how they're integrating AI with intention and transparency—from delaying its use early in the school year to modeling how to question and push back against AI-generated output.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 102: Peaceful Presence with Dina Ghandour

Ever wonder how a shy teenager becomes the person who can run a meeting, lead a team, and shift an 18‑speed without grinding a gear? We sit down with educator and rancher Colby Steeke to trace that journey—from a ranch in southwest North Dakota to a 1,300‑student CTE powerhouse where agriculture education meets real-world opportunity. The story starts with roots: parents who teach ag, sisters who show goats across the Midwest, and mentors like the late Butch Howland who believed travel and exposure could change a student's life. Then it accelerates—Denver Stock Show meat judging champions, late-night practices, and the kind of high expectations that turn small-town programs into statewide standouts.We open the doors to the Southwest Area CTE Academy in Dickinson, where seven partner schools share 18+ programs ranging from diesel mechanics and heavy equipment to floriculture, food science, and health pathways. You'll hear how mobile CDL and heavy equipment simulators give teens safe, high-fidelity reps on 10-, 13-, and 18-speed transmissions, and how a USDA-certified mobile meat processing trailer turns pork loins into chops while teaching food safety, value-add, and entrepreneurship. Colby makes a compelling case for SAEs, scholarships, and travel—from state leadership conferences to national convention—as the engines that build confidence, networks, and career clarity for students who may never step on a farm but will shape the future of food and fiber.We also tackle the ROI question head-on. Not everyone needs a five-year degree to build a good life. Many agriculture-adjacent careers—welding, CDL, precision ag, HVAC, dental assisting, agronomy tech—start with certificates or two-year programs that pay back fast and meet urgent local needs. Along the way, social media gets reframed as a teaching tool: TikTok Tuesdays, classroom-ready clips, and a national community of ag teachers swapping ideas that work. If only one percent of Americans farm, then ag education is how the other ninety-nine percent learn what feeds and clothes them—and how thousands of students find real, respected careers. Subscribe, share with a parent or student who needs options, and leave a review with the skill you wish school had taught you.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

Drawing from her experience as a spiritual counselor and her recent personal challenges with moving trauma, Jennifer shows how "extinction bursts" of old patterns signal deep healing, and how the fundamental ACIM principle "to have, give all to all" transforms both teacher and learner when we recognize the Christ in everyone.  This week, Jennifer Hadley explores the Manual for Teachers' profound teaching that everyone is always teaching through their presence and choices. She reveals how we constantly demonstrate what we believe about ourselves—whether that's love and wholeness or fear and lack—and invites listeners to consciously choose to teach only Love.

An Northern Illinois University physics educator knows that all it takes for kids to get excited about science is their natural curiosity about the world around them.“I've compared it to to listening to a song in a language you don't understand. You can you can hear the melody. You can appreciate the beauty. But if you learn that language, then all of a sudden you know what the song is about. You understand the subtext. So, we can appreciate the world around us, just like that song, but it's written in the language of math and science."It's here on a new Teachers' Lounge!

Torah teachers Pete Rambo and Mark Call continue the special series of round table sessions on one of the most important, and certainly overlooked and misunderstood, subjects in Scripture, the "Two Houses" that came from the Twelve Tribes. They literally permeate the prophets, and in particular things that have not yet come to pass, but are still largely an enigma to "churchianity." For reasons that are being made clear.

LESSON 275God's Healing Voice Protects All Things Today.Let us today attend the Voice for God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice for God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice for God is found.Your healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do and where to go; to whom to speak and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things through me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

When schools shut down in 2020, many parents realized just how little their kids were learning. That eye-opening experience led Melissa Jackson to co-found Freedom in Education, a movement dedicated to giving parents and teachers the tools they need to improve education from the ground up. As president of the organization, Melissa is working to restore knowledge-based learning, equip parents with resources and opt-out forms, and build bridges between families and teachers. In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Melissa about how Freedom in Education began, the challenges of navigating state education systems, and the practical solutions they're providing to help kids thrive. From empowering parents to take a more active role to supporting teachers with professional development and community, Melissa shares how her team is working to enrich the next generation of students both inside and outside the classroom.

This week I learned that nothing divides the internet faster than Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement and yes, I have thoughts. Spoiler: I'm baffled, not bitter. From my squirrel-and-nut analogies to realizing Lord of the Rings news impacts me way more than celebrity weddings, this episode is a rollercoaster of pop culture side-eye, mom-life struggles, and teacher realities. You'll also hear listener voicemails that had me laughing and questioning admin choices, plus a resource that might actually save you grading time. Takeaways: Andrea's bafflement at the internet's collective meltdown over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement—and her “squirrel found a nut” metaphor . A nerdy detour into Lord of the Rings news that sparked way more joy than any celebrity couple could . A listener voicemail about teaching in 110° heat in Southern Utah and the reality of special education across grades 10–12 . A second voicemail that sparked a debate about admin calling a disruptive student “our friend” and how leaders should support teachers . Andrea's hill to die on: why charm and grit will always beat raw IQ in the long run -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

In today’s world, amid the tragedy and turmoil we face every day, we need hope more than ever—true hope found in Jesus. Are you sharing this life-changing hope of the gospel with those around you?You have the power to start another Jesus Revolution today. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in today’s message. Notes: Focus verses: Ephesians 4, Romans 12 God has given spiritual gifts to each of us. A spiritual gift is a supernatural ability to do something you would not normally do. Romans 12:5–16 (KJV)So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, God created you with purpose. God gave you certain gifts so you could use them to glorify Him and to serve others. We are here on this earth for three reasons:1. The glorification of God (UPWARD)2. The edification of the saints (INWARD)3. The evangelization of the world (OUTWARD) Ephesians 4:11–12 (NLT)Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Ephesians 4:11–12 (NLT) (cont)Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. Read Romans 12:6–8 There is a God-given gift of exhortation. Teachers tell you how to do it, exhorters make you want to do it. Our culture has become more combative.It's like the world has become a live version of X. Our ultimate goal is to build up, not tear down. If we really love one another, we must "speak the truth in love.”Ephesians 4:15 Paul and Barnabus worked together, visiting the churches.Acts 14:22 Hebrews 10:24–25 Romans 12:8If it is giving, then give generously. Scripture teaches each Christian should give.1 Corinthians 16:2 Romans 12:8 (NLT)And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. As we use these gifts, we grow spiritually.Ephesians 4:15–16 We are here for the evangelization of the world. Isaiah 5:20 (NKJV)Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; The church is under attack right now. This was a wake-up call for the church that went to fervent prayer.Acts 12 Whenever we are doing the work of God we will face spiritual attack. Charlie reminds me of another young man who was bold for his faith, Stephen. When Charlie took his last breath on earth, he took his first breath in Heaven.2 Corinthians 5:8 Who do we turn to at a time like this? We turn to God.Psalm 46:1 We need to mourn when we lose a loved one. As tragic as Charlie’s death is, it has been a wake-up call to a younger generation.The same was true when Stephen died.Acts 8:1 Acts 1:8 (NIV)“…you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." After Steven’s death the church was scattered and got on with their mission.And as the church today, we need to do the same! Joshua 1:9 It’s time to reach this hopeless generation. This could be your Jesus Revolution moment. Sharing the gospel energizes and refreshes the Christian. You need an outlet for the truth God is giving you. You are blessed to be a blessing. Discover and cultivate the spiritual gifts that God has given you. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
