It's another jam packed episode, once again workers are doing so much we struggled to cover it all! We start with headlines from the University of California, Portland State University, University of Chicago, Case New Holland, GM Canada, Walgreens, the ECHL, Kickstarter, and the United States Federal Government. Starbucks workers launched their largest strike ever this past week, we check in on the first pickets and the fight for a contract. The extremely long and hard fought strike by workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette finally came to a conclusion this week through legal action. Over 15,000 workers in Iran's oil sector went on strike recently for pay, benefits, and to preserve their country's sovereignty. Finally, we check in on the malfeasance of the Labour Party who under Keir Starmer are simultaneously attacking both Doctors and Teachers.

Have you ever felt so exhausted that even a full night's sleep doesn't help? Maybe you're dragging yourself to school each morning, fighting back tears in the parking lot. Or sitting in your car for an hour after work because you just can't face going inside yet. I get it. As educators, we give everything to our students… often at the expense of our own wellbeing.   This week, I'm joined by Dr. Michelle Chanda Singh to explore her journey from burnout to balance, and how she discovered that teacher wellness isn't selfish - it's essential. And in this episode, she shares a revolutionary framework that changed everything for her, and could transform your teaching experience too.   Tune in to discover why you have to feel well to teach well, and how, when teachers model self-regulation and wellness practices, it creates ripple effects throughout classrooms, schools, and communities. Dr. Michelle shares the 7 areas of rest (and why you're probably deficient in at least 3 of them), and how to incorporate micro-moments of restoration throughout your school day.   Meet Dr. Michelle Chanda Singh: Dr. Michelle Chanda Singh is a National Board Certified Teacher, CEO of LCT-E Learning Solutions®, and founder of Restful Teacher® and Empty2Empowered™. A globally recognized education leader, Michelle champions equity, innovation, and well-being in education. Her EQUAL Methodology™ equips educators and leaders with research-based strategies and emerging technologies to create inclusive and engaging learning environments.   As a Jamaican immigrant, Michelle's passion for cultural empathy and inclusivity has fueled over two decades of transformative impact as a teacher, district leader, professor, consultant, and speaker. Through her curricula, training programs,  and keynotes, she provides actionable solutions to today's biggest educational and organizational challenges—from burnout to disengagement—helping schools, institutions, and organizations cultivate thriving leaders and empowered learners.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/412   Keep up with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/akellycoaching/

What if academic success was about more than test scores—and every student had a team behind them helping them find their path?In this episode of BV Unmuted, Superintendent Dr. Gillian Chapman sits down with Melissa Blevins (Blue River Elementary), Dr. Tyler Alexander (Blue Valley Southwest) and Kelly June (Executive Director of Academic Services) to unpack what it really means to be a champion of learning from kindergarten through graduation.You'll hear how Blue Valley's youngest learners are building powerful foundations in reading and math, with ACT scores nearly four points above the state average, 903 AP scholars, a 96.7% graduation rate and a growing number of students leaving high school with college credit and market value assets already in hand.But the heart of the episode is how those outcomes happen:Teachers using data as a tool for support, not judgment, to personalize instruction for every learner.Classrooms where productive struggle, student voice and engagement drive growth for both AP and on-level students.Intentional work to connect learning to real life through Individual Plans of Study, career-connected opportunities, clubs, activities and strong relationships with staff in every building.If you've ever wondered what's behind Blue Valley's results or how we're preparing students to become curious thinkers, compassionate leaders and lifelong learners, this episode pulls back the curtain on the systems, mindsets and people making it happen.

In this week's episode of Cultural Catalysts, join Kris and Banning as they welcome Dann Farrelly, Bethel Church's lead teacher and Dean of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry with over 34 years of ministry experience. Dann shares his unique perspective as a teacher within a prophetic environment, offering wisdom on maintaining biblical integrity while embracing supernatural ministry. The conversation explores the delicate balance between revelatory preaching and scriptural accuracy, with Dann highlighting the importance of knowing context before taking creative license with Scripture. Together, they discuss the pressure many ministers feel to be novel or entertaining rather than nourishing, and how healthy teaching provides essential grounding for prophetic ministry. Dann shares how demonstrating how good theology contributes to sound mental health. Whether you're a teacher, prophet, or simply someone who loves God's Word, this candid and often humorous conversation offers invaluable insights on how the five-fold ministry gifts work together to build a healthy church.

This week I learned that parenting might actually be harder than teaching. It started with my five-year-old asking questions about his “balls,” escalated into my husband giving a full anatomy lesson, and ended with me praying his kindergarten teacher doesn't get a surprise lecture about semen. Then we hear from a teacher whose classroom window literally exploded mid-class (because of a rogue lawnmower rock, obviously), and I share one of my favorite free classroom tools for teaching grammar, plus the hill I will die on: college professors should be required to learn how to teach. Takeaways: The “anatomy conversation” that got way more detailed than Andrea intended. Why middle school classrooms feel like a mix of chaos, zoo smells, and budding philosophers. The voicemail about a lawnmower rock that shattered a teacher's window mid-class. A free, AI-powered grammar resource that actually works (Quill.org). Andrea's unfiltered hill to die on: professors should have to learn to teach, too. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

Welcome educators! Before we dive in, don't forget to check out the engaging ESL resources available at myadventuresinesl.com/store. Episode Overview As we move closer to Winter Break, it's completely normal to feel the weight of the season — the planning, the paperwork, the constant juggling. In this episode, we explore a powerful mindset shift that can bring clarity, purpose, and even joy back into your weekly planning: seeing lesson planning not as a chore, but as an act of design. This episode offers encouragement, practical strategies, and a refreshing way to approach planning so that it feels more intentional, creative, and energizing. In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ Why Planning Feels Heavy This Time of Year The pressure of ongoing lessons, deadlines, and constant demands How exhaustion and guilt creep in for many ESL teachers A reminder that you are doing meaningful, impactful work ✨ The Mindset Shift: Planning → Designing Learn how seeing yourself as an instructional designer changes everything: It reignites creativity Lessons feel more purposeful Students experience deeper engagement Planning becomes less overwhelming and more rewarding ✨ How This Shift Transforms Your Classroom When planning becomes design, you: Make more intentional choices Build lessons that flow instead of disconnect Focus on experiences, not checklists Support language growth with more clarity and ease Key Strategies Covered 1. Start With the Student Experience Instead of opening your template first, ask: "What do I want my students to experience and feel during this lesson?" This approach helps you design lessons that are meaningful and memorable. 2. Sketch the Student Journey Map out what students are doing, saying, and thinking from warm-up to wrap-up. Then layer in language objectives and scaffolds. 3. Create a Lesson Design Framework Designers use frameworks — teachers can too. Build a structure that includes: Your non-negotiables (language objectives, interaction, scaffolds) A consistent lesson flow Flexibility for different proficiency levels This cuts planning time dramatically and brings consistency to your instruction. 4. Reflect Like a Designer After each lesson, ask: What worked well? Where did students engage the most? What would I redesign next time? Reflection keeps you intentional and growing. Encouragement for the Week You don't have to reinvent your lessons every time. You don't have to settle for planning that drains you. You get to design experiences that help multilingual learners grow in extraordinary ways. Call to Action This week, choose one upcoming lesson and redesign it through a designer's lens. Start with the experience, build your support, and simplify the rest. Share your reflection with me!

What if the people who trigger you the most—the mother-in-law who feels controlling, the "lazy" kids, the blow-up guy in your Saturday foursome—aren't actually the problem? You are (gulp). What if they're mirrors? In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I dive into the uncomfortable truth that the traits you judge, resent, or react to in others very often reflect the parts of you that you deny, repress, or flat-out hate.  You'll hear raw stories from my own life and from clients who realized that the selfishness, complacency, or lack of drive they saw in others… was alive and well inside themselves. And when they finally owned those parts instead of fighting them, everything changed: more peace, more energy, more honesty, and better golf. In this episode, you'll learn: How "triggers" on the golf course, at home, and at work are actually mirrors reflecting disowned parts of you. Why owning traits like "selfish," "controlling," or "lazy" can free you instead of condemn you. The basics of Parts Theory and how seeing emotions as "parts" reduces their intensity and control over you. How repressing parts of yourself quietly drains your energy and keeps you stuck in the same patterns on and off the course. A powerful reframe of selfishness into being selflessly selfish—and how that makes you a better golfer, parent, and leader. How core beliefs like "I'll never get better" sabotage your performance, no matter how hard you work. A journaling question you can use today to turn your biggest emotional triggers into your most powerful teachers. If you're willing to be radically honest with yourself, this episode can help you reclaim the energy you've been spending running from your own reflection—and redirect it into becoming the golfer, parent, partner, and leader you know you're capable of being. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

The behaviors you judge or react to most strongly in others—anger, laziness, selfishness, manipulation—are often traits that exist in you, especially the parts you don't want to see. You are made of many "parts," not one fixed identity. There's a part of you that's confident, a part that's fearful, a part that's lazy, a part that's driven. Seeing these as "parts" creates healthy distance so you're not completely fused with any one state. What you resist, persists. The harder you fight against a trait—"I'm not selfish, I'm not controlling, I'm not lazy"—the more power it quietly holds over your thoughts, emotions, and decisions. Triggers are invitations, not inconveniences. The next time someone pisses you off, embarrasses you, or makes your blood boil, you have a choice: react and blame… or pause and ask, "What part of me is this showing me?" That's where the real growth begins. Key Quotes: "What triggers you has the opportunity to teach you—if you're willing to look in the mirror instead of out the window." "You're not just one thing all the time; you're a collection of parts—and your work is to become whole, not perfect." "The traits you hate in others are often the traits you refuse to admit exist in you." "What you resist persists. The more you fight 'I'm not selfish,' the more that part quietly runs the show." "Being selflessly selfish means you put yourself first so you can show up better for everyone else in your life." "Golf is a mirror of your personal development—and the people in your life are mirrors of the parts of you that you've tried to bury." "When you accept every part of you, you stop wasting energy hiding and start using that energy to become the best version of you."

Key highlights: • Why I'm shifting directions in 2026 to focus on deeper connections with educators (and serving more than just folks in K-12) • How my personal life has come into greater alignment after moving and establishing new daily practices • My launch of teacher retreats after years of dreaming and planning (you're invited!) • An introduction to Due Season Press, my new website showcasing retreats, retreat/event planning services, editing and publishing support for authors, and more • Opportunities for schools and districts to host custom retreat experiences • Reflective questions to help you find your own alignment and mission heading into 2026 Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here.

When evil comes at you, defend yourself using their words and deeds. Amicus strategy takes many turns, but GROK likes it. The Tina Peters release delays seem deliberate. Hopefully, she will be home for Thanksgiving. People love America, but don't fight for it's warriors. The key is getting the right evidence into court. They had a template to fight Trump in each state. Corrupt AG's. The FBI and DHS has the documents they need. If we don't get rid of the machines, it's game over. Project 65 raises it's ugly head. Happiness includes the truth, and personal grooming with correct skin tones and color balance. BLM does corrupt politics in DC. The British have lots of problems. A story or two about the Serbian activist Ivan. The Biden's dismantled their country. A video of some traitors during a planning session. Remember, these teachers shape minds. Round two is coming for the George Floyd story. Getting tougher would work now for the DOJ. Sounds like Lenin class. Amping up for maximum damage. They don't even know they are being used. The strongest idea yet is still freedom.

The great importance of redesigning Tier 1 instruction that ensures deeper learning for all students.

India's largest school board, CBSE, has announced that students as young as Class 3 will begin learning Artificial Intelligence.This isn't the first time. The board rolled out an AI elective for Class 9 in 2019, long before generative AI was a household name. Now, the goal is to make "AI thinking" as fundamental as grammar.We dive into this massive national experiment, exploring what "learning AI" means for a third grader—it's less about building chatbots and more about "computational thinking." And the real test ahead isn't the syllabus; it's whether India can train millions of teachers, many still unsure about using the tools they're now expected to teach.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In this powerful episode of the BIG Home Ed Conversations Podcast, Kelly and Ashley sit down with author, educator and neurodivergent advocate Helen Daniel to unpack ableism in the education system through the lens of SEND and neurodivergence. Drawing on Helen's experience as a teacher, academic and author of Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages, they explore how a system built on standardisation often fails autistic and otherwise neurodivergent children – and what more equitable, sensory-aware education could look like, both in school and in home ed. Together they dive into: How curriculum changes and raised targets (times tables, Shakespeare, early formal writing) pushed more neurodivergent children “outside the norm.” Why standardisation is the enemy of equity – and why one-size-fits-all schooling doesn't work for diverse brains. EHCPs, SEND provision and why the system feels broken for so many families. Sensory profiles, overload and meltdowns: what's really going on beneath “behaviour.” Practical examples of small, powerful accommodations (movement, video learning, headphones, flexible seating.) How home ed groups can unintentionally replicate ableism – and how to design more inclusive spaces. Teaching all children (ND and NT) compassion, curiosity and respect for different needs. This is a validating, eye-opening listen for: Parents of autistic, ADHD, PDA or otherwise neurodivergent children. Home educating families navigating SEND needs. Teachers who feel the system is wrong but don't know how to change it. Any parent wanting to raise more compassionate, neuro-affirming kids. Guest Spotlight: Find Helen's book Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages in all the usual places for a deeper dive into sensory processing, autistic communication and building truly equitable lives for autistic children.

ITP - 134 A huge welcome to Rita Bateson of Eblana Learning, who unpacks the real-world mess and magic of AI in education. She takes listeners through her globe-trotting career from Dublin to Rome, Bermuda, Germany, and the IB, weaving in how AI is reshaping classrooms, assessment, teacher workload, academic integrity, and student habits. Rita explains the Overton Window of AI discourse, why teachers need both AI literacy and healthy skepticism, and how schools can balance innovation with ethics, sustainability, and good old-fashioned human expertise.The hosts dig into critical thinking, cognitive offloading, phone-free schools, environmental costs of AI, and why students' inch-wide, mile-deep use of AI demands that teachers develop broader understanding. Rita also shares the mission behind Eblana Learning, their AI curriculum, PD academy, and her drive to support leaders navigating AI without panic or techno-worship. Add in some delightfully unhinged international misadventure stories (Swiss banks, English “interpreter” classes), and you've got an episode loaded with insight, humor, and brutally honest guidance for teachers worldwide.Rita is a Cofounder of Eblana LearningThe full link is https://eblanalearning.com/If you need Rita as an Italian interpreter, here is her LinkedIN profile link.

LESSON 318In Me Salvation's Means And End Are One.In me, God's holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to save the world. What could conflict, when all the parts have but one purpose and one aim? How could there be a single part that stands alone, or one of more or less importance than the rest? I am the means by which God's Son is saved, because salvation's purpose is to find the sinlessness that God has placed in me. I was created as the thing I seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one eternal Love. I am salvation's means and end as well.Let me today, my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me become as surely reconciled to You.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Novelist and creative entrepreneur Kern Carter breaks down a practical creative blueprint for turning ideas into finished books and sustainable income—without chasing virality. We cover the path from self‑publishing to indie (Cormorant) and major houses (Scholastic, Penguin), how community-first marketing outperforms algorithms (Cry Magazine, a 5K+ Substack), and why emotion-led storytelling plus industry awareness wins. Kern explains how a middle‑grade novel aimed at young boys sparked word‑of‑mouth among teachers and helped move 15,000+ copies in a single year, and he shares direct advice: study your craft and study the industry.   About the Guest: Kern Carter is a novelist, essayist, and filmmaker. He's written for Penguin and Scholastic, sold 15,000+ books in a year, founded Cry Magazine, and writes the Substack Writers Are Superstars. A creative entrepreneur who became a father at 18, Kern builds platforms that elevate new voices.   Key Takeaways: At eight, Kern declared he'd be a novelist; publishing later felt “like magic” realized. He self‑published two novels, then vowed not to self‑publish again until traditionally published. Landing an agent took years; 2020 brought an indie deal (Cormorant), then offers from Scholastic and Penguin. He wrote two books in parallel; both released the same year, expanding reach and credibility. Sales crossed 15,000 largely via a Scholastic middle‑grade novel intentionally speaking to young boys. Teachers embraced the layered story and shared it; Scholastic's school distribution amplified exposure. Growth came from community, not algorithms: Cry Magazine, a Substack newsletter (5K+), direct emails. His process starts with emotion; characters' journeys ground even elements of magical realism. Writing is a necessary release, not a burden; burnout comes from life, not books. He builds platforms to open doors for other creators; storytelling deserves access, not gatekeeping. Core advice: study your craft deeply and study the industry with equal intensity. Creatives must make informed business choices—distribution, trends, costs—every creative decision is commercial. Community‑first marketing beat follower counts; real relationships outperformed vanity metrics. He invites writers to claim authority—every creative choice is both art and strategy.   Connect with the Guest  : Website : https://www.kerncarter.com/ Substack: Writers Are Superstars  Discover his books: search “Kern Carter” on your favorite bookstore platform   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Kelsie Bullock is a small-town teacher making a big impact - and proving that every student deserves to belong. A few years ago, she started a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Club for her Morgan County high school students.  Now, as political attacks threaten programs like hers, Bullock and her students are standing strong, creating a safe space where everyone can connect across differences and feel proud of who they are - no exceptions.KNOW YOUR RIGHTS | Take a listen to NEA's School Me podcast for a discussion with Alice O'Brien, general counsel for the National Education Association, as she walks through your rights, risks, and opportunities to push back against anti-equality policies and fear tactics: A Lawyer Explains: "DEI" and Anti-Equity Policies in Schools | NEA || OEA members with questions are urged to contact their Labor Relations Consultant for guidanceON THE FEDERAL LEVEL | Click here for information from NEA about several recent court rulings impacting inclusive education in public schools.In February, 2025, the US Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter threatening schools and colleges across the country with the loss of federal funding in a matter of days if they continued to pursue vaguely defined “DEI programs.” The National Education Association, ACLU, and others filed a lawsuit to block enforcement of this directive, saying 'the Letter radically resets ED's longstanding positions on civil rights laws that guarantee equality and inclusion and impermissibly infringes on the authority of states and school districts over public education, as well as the First Amendment rights of educators and students. In April, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction, preventing the US Department of Education from enforcing the directive while litigation continues. Read NEA's statement on the court ruling here: Federal court grants preliminary injunction against Department of Education's unlawful directive | NEAHERE IN OHIO | Ohio lawmakers continue to propose legislation to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and offices in K-12 schools, extending the DEI ban they enacted on college campuses with SB 1 earlier this year.

These two loves directed her towards attending Ohio State for their vet program and coaching gymnastics through her time in college. She quickly realized, once starting college, that becoming a vet was not for her. She thought back on her life and realized that she has always been somewhat of a teacher to her younger sisters, her teammates, and her school peers. This, coinciding with her coaching, led her to realize that she may want to be a teacher. So she switched her major to zoology with a focus in anatomy and physiology, something she wanted to teach at the time. After graduating with her first degree, Bullock had a few hiccups for her licensure and ultimately ended up going back to Ohio State to get her bachelors in life science education. During this second degree program, she took an equity and diversity class that she attributes to her turning point in life. She learned so much about the history and culture of marginalized groups in the US and it opened her eyes. From that point on, she has been dedicated to learning and serving to help marginalized groups.Bullock enjoys her job, which allows her to actively express her D.E.I passion while also teaching about a topic she truly loves. She gets to help students learn in more ways than one.  Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

#190 - What if you could trade flat maps and footnotes for sunrise on Sinai and sea spray in your face as you approach a harbor Paul once saw? That's the world filmmaker Craig Dehut invites us into—where sacred places become cinematic classrooms and faith is strengthened by seeing.Craig shares how Appian Media grew from a coffee-shop idea to a nonprofit producing free, high-quality Bible documentaries viewed more than 20 million times in over 160 countries. We dig into the nuts and bolts: small teams hauling Sony rigs, drones, and audio kits through Israel, Egypt, Turkey, and Greece; the scramble for permits that can change by sunset; and the art of capturing clean, honest moments among crowds at sites like the Church of the Nativity. Craig explains why their films lean into archaeology, geography, and culture—so viewers can picture Capernaum's streets, feel the Valley of Elah's creek bed, and re-read Scripture with sharper eyes.Beyond craft, we talk impact. Homeschool families use the series as living curriculum. Skeptics come for history and stay for the evidence. Teachers cue clips, kids ask to binge-read First Samuel, and lifelong believers say they finally “saw” Jerusalem. Craig opens up about the editing grind, the joy and exhaustion of 16-hour field days, and a bold ten-year plan to build a Genesis-to-Revelation visual journey. The goal is simple and ambitious: help people read better by helping them see better—turning the lands of the Bible into accessible, vivid learning for everyone.Watch the documentaries on YouTube, explore resources at AppianMedia.org, and if the mission resonates, consider supporting monthly to fuel future trips and post-production.

Please join us for this transmission meant to deepen our commitment to serving others and all sentient beings.  We connect with the Divine, Our Guides and Teachers, and in particular to Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, and Vajrakilaya to help deepen our compassion and bodhichitta.  Padmasambhava was one of three incarnated beings who helped to establish Buddhism in Tibet.  He is known for his esoteric abilities and qualities.  His spiritual partner, Yeshe Tsogyal, is the embodiment of the Divine Feminine in a compassionate and wise form.   Vajrakilaya is a wrathful and fierce divine form of compassion and was the main deity practice of Padmasambhava.  We work with all these divine forms in a 50 minute transmission meant to bring through the deeper patterns of compassion and bodhichitta.  Bodhichitta is the Sanskrit term for the spirit of enlightenment in which we work towards the welfare and enlightenment of all sentient beings for as long as space and time endures.

Although the topic of Roma education has resonated in debates for many years, little attention is paid to the key actors in education – teachers. in this episode we are going to take a closer look at the conditions and struggles the teachers have to face in the marginalized communities in Slovakia and last but not least, their well-being as the SAV project tells us. We are going to be talking to the representatives from Centre of Social and Psychological Sciences in Košice who conducted the project and the director of desegregated elementary school Alma in Zvolen.

LESSON 317I Follow In The Way Appointed Me.I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your way is certain, and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

The state's official Veterans Day program is at the National Guard Armory in Mankato. Officials from the Minnesota National Guard and the state Department of Veterans Affairs will join elected officials and others for the event.Minnesota has begun distributing SNAP benefits to recipients — but there continues to be widespread confusion over whether that will continue as the Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to again freeze the payments. County administrators are struggling to keep up with the constant changes to the status of the program.A deal to reopen the federal government could imperil Minnesota's hemp-derived products industry. Wayzata-based Cargill is one of four meatpacking giants under investigation by the U.S. justice department. The City of St. Paul is the one of the lead plaintiffs in a new lawsuit against the Trump administration over the cancellation of clean energy grants. The city is part of a coalition that said Democratic-led states were unfairly punished with the cancellation of $7.5 billion in projects for things such as electric vehicle charging stations, solar energy incentives and measures to prevent methane leaks. Teachers have reached a tentative contract contract agreement with the Minneapolis school district avoiding a strike that was scheduled to start Tuesday. The union wanted smaller class size caps and pay increases for teachers, adult educators and support staff. A spokesperson said the new contract includes agreements on those demands. Teachers will vote on whether to officially accept the contract on Thursday and Friday.

Let's transform the classroom into a place where mistake-making is an opportunity to learn and children feel a sense of connection, value, and belonging. -Noel Foy aka Neuro Noel Meet neuroeducator, anxiety/executive function coach, and author, Noel Foy. She travels the country, sharing her skill set with children, parents, and teachers. Today, in any given classroom, about 30% of students are neurodiverse. “There are many brains in these classrooms, says Noel, including children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and mental health issues. Teachers are overwhelmed, and that's where I come in.” Her latest book, 15-minute focus, provides brief counseling techniques that work, accompanied by downloadable resources, with a focus on executive function. www.neuronoel.com. What is executive function? In her book, Noel explains that EF involves the highest aspects of brain function, including the ability to organize, prioritize, and manage daily life. The fact is, underdeveloped EF skills can derail a child. In this interview, Neuro Noel discusses the built-in distractions our children encounter throughout the day—phones, social media, and screens —and suggests that play is a great way to develop executive function. Creating games without an adult doing the thinking for you is the key to helping a child experience conflict resolution, resiliency, creativity, and memory. Neuro Noel's advice for all of us? “Be mindful. Talk less and listen more. Take a moment to pause and reset so that your thinking brain, not your emotional brain, is running the show.” For 25 minutes of coaching from a neuroeducator, just hit that download button. #neurodiversity #children #executivefunction #education #womeninspiringwomen #thestorybehindhersuccess

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 12th Publish Date:  November 12th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, November 12th and Happy Birthday to Al Michaels I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb, Marietta teaching excellence pays off — in horsepower Nathan Deal calls for civility, bipartisanship GMDT’s The Nutcracker will be Thanksgiving weekend All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Cobb, Marietta teaching excellence pays off — in horsepower This week, two of Cobb County’s best teachers got the surprise of a lifetime—a brand-new car to drive for a year. In a tradition that never gets old, the Cobb Chamber, with help from Voyles Automotive Group, handed out free one-year car leases at their monthly luncheon. Hailey Howdyshell, a first-grade teacher at Hickory Hill Elementary, drove off in a sleek Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, while Amanda Dillard, a special ed teacher at Pope High, snagged a Kia Telluride. Other honorees? Caleb Garrett (Compton Elementary) got a Honda Passport, and Lakeisha Gray (Betty Gray Middle) scored a Jeep Wrangler. Teachers, you deserve it. STORY 2: Nathan Deal calls for civility, bipartisanship Former Gov. Nathan Deal didn’t hold back this week when he spoke to the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, urging lawmakers to ditch the shouting matches and rediscover bipartisanship. In a candid chat with Superior Plumbing CEO Jay Cunningham, Deal reflected on how politics has changed—and not for the better. “It used to be you had to prove you could govern,” he said. “Now, it’s just about who yells the loudest and raises the most money.” Deal, who led Georgia from 2011 to 2019, highlighted his bipartisan work on criminal justice reform, calling it “the right thing,” not a political win. Before wrapping up, Deal shared a personal project: his children’s book, Veto the Governor’s Cat, inspired by his late wife, Sandra. “Kids listen to animals more than adults sometimes,” he joked. The book teaches lessons on courage, patience, and embracing differences. Cunningham called Deal “a man of humility and integrity,” thanking him for his service to Georgia. STORY 3: GMDT’s The Nutcracker will be Thanksgiving weekend  The Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre is bringing the magic of The Nutcracker back to Marietta this holiday season, with performances Nov. 28-30 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre. Picture this: the Stahlbaum family’s festive party, a mysterious magician stirring up chaos, toy soldiers battling giant mice, and a journey through a snowy forest to the dazzling Kingdom of Sweets. It’s everything you love about the holidays, wrapped in one enchanting ballet.

Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: Smyrna man accused of DUI after crash leaves driver seriously injured Eriberto Cante, 25, of Smyrna, is facing serious charges after a crash on Oct. 12 at the intersection of Church Street and N. Marietta Parkway. Police say Cante, driving a blue 2003 Toyota Rav4, ran a red light and was hit on the passenger side by another car with the right of way. The collision, caught on Cobb County’s Real Time Crime Center cameras, left a man unconscious with a brain bleed and fractured ribs. Officers reported smelling alcohol on Cante, who admitted to drinking five Modelo beers earlier. His blood alcohol level? A staggering .234. He also didn’t have a valid license. Cante was arrested Oct. 24 and released three days later on a $15,000 bond. STORY 5: Pro women's soccer team could be headquartered in Marietta  Arthur Blank, the billionaire behind Atlanta United and the Falcons, is reportedly bringing an NWSL expansion team to Atlanta, according to The Athletic. The price tag? A record $165 million. The team, set to debut after the 2026 season, will play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, just like Blank’s other teams. But will it call Marietta home? Atlanta United’s $90 million training facility on Franklin Gateway seems like a natural fit. With six fields, a podcast studio, and plans for hydrotherapy rooms, it’s already top-notch. Plus, Blank owns extra land nearby—plenty of room to grow. Marietta Councilman Johnny Walker is hopeful. “It’d be a win-win,” he said. Break: STORY 6: Mayor Tumlin reelected as Cobb County certifies tight race   It’s official: Steve “Thunder” Tumlin will stay Marietta’s mayor, edging out challenger Sam Foster by just 89 votes. The Cobb County Board of Elections certified the Nov. 4 results Monday, locking in Tumlin’s 50.3% to Foster’s 49.7%. Close? Absolutely. Turnout was low—just 24.9% of Cobb’s 565,686 eligible voters showed up. Most voted on Election Day, but Acting Elections Director Michael D’Itri noted a few hiccups: abandoned ballots, long lines at Thompson Community Center, and a handful of discrepancies. “It was a tough day,” D’Itri admitted, but praised poll workers for pulling it off. Runoffs for Marietta City Council Wards 3 and 5 are set for Dec. 2. Early voting starts Nov. 22. STORY 7: Braves complete coaching staff, retain Hyers, Perez  The Atlanta Braves shook up their coaching staff Tuesday, announcing a mix of familiar faces and fresh hires for Walt Weiss’ first year at the helm. Tim Hyers is back as hitting coach for his second season, and Eddie Perez—yes, the 1999 NLCS MVP—is returning for his 37th year with the organization. That’s loyalty. New faces? Tommy Watkins takes over as third base coach after years with the Twins, Dustin Garneau steps in as catching coach, and Darnell Coles joins as assistant hitting coach, bringing over a decade of experience. Tony Diaz rounds out the group as a major league coach. Oh, and Tony Mansolino, originally hired as third base coach, will now serve as Weiss’ bench coach. Big moves all around. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 7 Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

The Vail School District in Arizona has been forced to add extra security to protect teachers and students at Cienega High School after they posted a picture to their Facebook page showing a math teachers’ group Halloween costume. It was meant as a math joke, t-shirts that looked like they had blood stains on them with the words “Problem Solved” on the front, but it was interpreted by Charlie Kirk’s own organization, Turning Point USA, as mocking their late founder’s assassination. Even after the district posted an explanation and photographic proof that the teachers had worn the same costume the year before, some conservative activists and prominent national leaders doubled down, posting the teachers’ names, phone numbers and demanding they be fired. The school has had more than 3-thousand hateful messages, including death threats, with the school superintendent asking for better understanding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a few months since schools in New York State started with a new rule: no smart phones allowed. Teachers, parents and students call in to talk about how it's going so far, and what the school day is like without the distraction of cell phones.
