Black and Brilliant Local Author As the sixteen-year-old President of the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP, he was one of the leaders of the 1960 sit-in demonstrations that culminated in the infamous and violent Ax Handle Saturday. Hurst's first book, the award-winning It Was Never About a Hot Dog and a Coke®!, tells that story. Hurst's fourth book, Black and Brilliant (written for 12-18 year-olds), dives deeper into bigotry, segregation and racism he experienced as a pre-teen and a teenager in Jacksonville. The book also reflects on the legacy of Black America and the many influences on his life that made him proud of his Blackness and piqued his interest in Black History. About our Guest Speakers Rodney Lawrence Hurst Sr., is a civil rights activist, a Black historian, a veteran of the United States Air Force and the award-winning author of four books. Hurst is a native of Jacksonville, Florida, and a 1960 high school graduate of segregated Northwestern Junior-Senior High School in Jacksonville. He was the sixteen-year-old President of the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP and was one of the leaders of the 1960 sit-in demonstrations. Rodney has won countless awards for his books and his civil rights work. In addition to his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, Hurst served two four-year terms on the Jacksonville City Council. He is responsible for numerous "firsts" in the Jacksonville Community. Some being Hurst was one of the thirteen original national recipients of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Television Fellowships and he co-hosted a television talk show as the first Black person in Jacksonville on PBS Channel WJCT. Read more on his website. Interviewer TiLena Robinson worked as a middle and high school social studies teacher with Duval County Public Schools for nine years. In her current role as grant specialist she focuses on improving school climate by supporting schools with the implementation of programs that focus on reducing bullying incidents in schools and help students build healthy relationships. She is a member of DCPS's African American History Task Force and works to bring equity, inclusion, and diversity to education. She believes that “You can't teach world history without talking about Africa and how African peoples have impacted society; And you can't teach U.S. history without talking about how African Americans have contributed to the history of the United States.” Featured Book: Black and Brilliant Rodney believes, "Black and Brilliant young people need to know their Black and Brilliant history and the Black and Brilliant stalwarts who engineered that history. It is never too early, nor are you too young, to understand the plight of those who look like you and what they achieved from the founding days of this country." This book, he says, "Is more than a historical account, it is a call to action..." He hopes that young people "learn from the courage and resilience of those who fought for civil rights, gaining a deeper appreciation for the remaining challenges."  Hurst's leadership as a teenager during the Civil Rights Movement is also the subject of a chapter in the Scholastic book, Ten True Tales: Young Civil Rights Heroes, written for Third Graders to Seventh Graders and ages 8 to 12. Check out all of Rodney's work from the Library! https://jaxpl.na4.iiivega.com/search?query=Rodney%20Hurst&searchType=agent&pageSize=10  Rodney Recommends The JaxNext100 award-winning mini documentary, "Unless We Tell: Ax Handle Saturday" features Hurst describing the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP 1960 sit-ins and Ax Handle Saturday. The title was inspired by Hurst's second book, Unless We Tell It... It Never Gets Told! The film took First Place at the Jacksonville LOL (Loving Our Locals) Film Festival in 2022. It was a collaboration between Hurst, his grandson-in-law, Kyle Dorrell, and his granddaughter Marquiette (Mark-Kita) D. Dorrell and their company, Weighted Sailor. Note: The 2028 documentary "Ax Handle Saturday: 50 Years Later" is also based on his book. --- Never miss an event!

Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! What is the Summer SeriesA collection of listener favourites from Structured Literacy Podcast to help you prepare for 2025.  Today's Episode.This week, we are discussing dyad reading or assisted reading. The paper I'm sharing is The Effects of Dyad Reading and Text Difficulty on Third Grader's Reading Achievement. It was published in  2017 by Lisa Brown, Kathleen Moore, Bradley Wilcox, and Tyson Barrett.   And they're from the Utah State University.   The journal that was published was the Journal of Educational Research.   The main focus of this study was to, in the author's words, replicate previous research about dyad reading. What is the Research to the Classroom series?Hi there. Welcome to the Structured Literacy Podcast. It's Jocelyn here, and I am so pleased to welcome you this week because we have a brand new series for you. One of the things I remember so vividly is being in school as a teacher and then leader,   Really wanting to keep up with readings and research and just not having the bandwidth to do it.   So we've started a brand new series for you called Research to the Classroom. It's a series of three episodes on a topic.   The first episode is a discussion of a research paper.   The second episode shares some specific instructional routines or very practical applications of this research.   The third episode is a conversation with a real live teacher who is employing these practices in their classrooms and can share the good things and the tricky bits with you to help you shortcut success. While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early reading instruction, regardless of the program your school uses, and get the best outcome for every student. While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free.

Lots of topics because that's what we do.

Recording of Andy Lockwood's presentation to an intimate group of parents (including one with a First and Third Grader) in March 2024. Lockwood fielded a variety of questions, including: *How many times should you take the PSAT? * What are "good" extracurricular activities? *How long will this presentation last (asked by a 5th grade daughter dragged to the presentation by her mom. Real cute, kid.) *When should you start working with a college advisor? (Lockwood liked this question, but his answer might surprise you.) *More For more resources, visit https://www.lockwoodcollegeprep.com/

The list of desires and dreams is long! Kids needs to learn to BE THE BOSS OF THEIR OWN MONEY early on! (a.k.a. FINANCIAL LITERACY). But what fun is it to hear about this from an adult?

Dr. Kathy considers a recent ruling in a Utah school to re-authorize the Bible to be in the school library after they previously banned it. The battle for young minds in libraries is on full display for much of the world, but Dr. Kathy has some important insights and encouragement for parents as these battles become more political and grow less and less about shaping kids' hearts and minds.

It's Anne here with a mini-episode of Transparency and Teaching Podcast, the News Edition. We used to start our episodes with education news, but you know, uh, we got so long-winded as we talked about the main topics that we decided to cut that out. Well, lucky for you, I'm retired, so I have all kinds of time to update you on what's happening in the education world. The News Edition will share news about the current policies and politics that affect our teaching world. So this little in-between bonus episode will show up in your feed now and then to ensure you're up to date on the latest ED news. This episode features three news stories that I feel may set the tone for schools and districts nationwide. As we know, one district's policies and often the politics that give birth to them can act as a bellwether that encourages other education establishments to adopt them—knowing what is happening and why is vital for being prepared for what might soon be coming to a district near you. Here's a preview of the stories in this episode: 1). The Office of Civil Rights determines penalties for Forsyth County book bans. After a recent review of the situation by the US Department of Ed, Forsyth County Schools has entered into an agreement with the US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, the O C R, about how to rectify the creation of what was deemed a hostile environment in schools, due to the removal of certain books from school libraries. The district was accused of removing books from school libraries that dealt with LGBTQ plus and BIPOC topics. The district, however, claimed to be reviewing books for sexually explicit materials they deemed inappropriate for certain age groups. Some students and families complained that this was creating a hostile environment for some students and that the district had made no effort to discuss the impact of book removals with students. 2). Our second story is about Nebraska, which has just approved taxpayer-funded school choice through the Opportunity Scholarships Act. The Opportunity Scholarships Act bill approved last month gives a generous $25 million in tax credits to people who donate to a scholarship-granting organization. These organizations will fund and then distribute the scholarships to parochial and private schools allowing low-income families to afford to attend private schools. This could eventually be raised to a hundred million dollars. Depending on the demand for the credits. Taxpayers can donate half of their state tax liability, up to $100,000, to private school scholarships. Senators on both sides of the aisle have opinions on the possible outcomes of this new tax break on schools. 3). Finally, Tennessee is to implement a retention policy for non-proficient third-grade readers. I recently did a podcast on Tennessee retaining third graders who are not reading on grade level, and I mentioned I'd update you on whether or not the bill was passed. Well, the bill passed on April 20th and was sent to the governor's desk for signing. It is not scheduled to take effect until the next school year, 2023-24. That allows this year's third graders to move along without meeting the grade level mark. Fair warning, this year's second graders and their parents, you best be doing a bunch of reading over the summer because next year, you'll not move on if you are not at grade level!

This is a special podcast I wrote as a follow-up after visiting Mrs. Webb's third-grade classroom to speak about what I do. It was a wonderful experience, the children asked a lot of good questions, and had a lot of great insights already into what it takes to become better, stronger, and wiser. It's my hope to do more events like this in my life!

In our final Good News Segment of the school year with our Kewanee third grade students, we were told a story about being fully prepared for a camping trip. Thank you to Averie Taylor and Victoria Weber for reminding us all to be prepared for our summer camping trips in today's Good News Spotlight.   

A recent article in “The 74” caught my attention this week. It discussed how Tennessee and Michigan are currently debating removing the statute requiring third graders who are reading below grade level to be retained. With state testing starting, people are worried about holding back the potentially large number of these students who may not pass the test. You see, aside from the average number of students that struggle with reading at this grade level, this year's batch of third graders were in kindergarten when the pandemic hit. People worry that the two years of virtual learning and closed schools have potentially created a glut of below-level readers. What would be the consequences of holding back so many students? For one, it is expensive. You will need more teachers and classrooms to manage the overflow. Could an exception be made for this group? The article states, “Parents, advocates, and educators say it's unfair to base the decision on one assessment, especially for students who were in kindergarten when the pandemic hit. But state officials and Republican legislators argue it's wrong to promote students who aren't ready.” Gotta say I'm siding with the state officials on this one.

Grooming has lately become a buzzword as Governor Ron DeSantis signed the historic bill to protect parental rights in education. The House Bill 1557, also known as Parental Rights in Education, is dubbed by critics the “Don't Say Gay” bill and by proponents as an “Anti-grooming” bill. The legislation, which reinforces parents' fundamental rights to make decisions regarding the upbringing of their children, has drawn national criticism especially among LGBTQ+ organizations. With so much controversy over how early gender ideology should be taught to children, are Kindergartners and Third Graders ready to cope with gender identity and sexual orientation, or is it a path that may lead them to confusion?In today's episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about Florida House Bill 1557 - Parental Rights in Education, how schools are shaping kids' minds with gender ideologies, and how Disney's current leadership is killing the magic.Enjoy!In This Episode01:01 - Florida House Bill 1557: What it is and how it works11:23 - A real-life example of how kids are taught gender ideology in school14:06 - What's the Washington Post's take on the issue21:24 - How schools are shaping kids' minds with gender ideologies28:45 - How Ohio Bill 616 relates to Florida House Bill 155731:45 - How Disney's current leadership is killing the magic41:48 - How Disney executive management pushes their gender agenda on kidsFavorite Quotes13:16 + 18:42 - "These schools are getting out of control, thinking they can raise your kids better than you can raise your kids.

I believe that it is inside you, that as you get older you decide. But not at age five. They would figure it out. But what I don't need is outside influences in their most impressionable years, pushing this on them" - Jim Larkin25:30 - "Give the parents the right to parent their kids the way they see fit. If you don't see fit to talk to your kids about LGBT issues at five or six years old, that does not make you a bigot. That doesn't make you a bad parent." - Jim Larkin39:19 - "99% of the girls that go to Disney want to be a princess. I am telling you that, I've been there. I've seen it. They wanna go and they want their magical time to be a princess. So, for you (Disney President Karey Burke) to sit there and say, 'well, we're not gonna assume they wanna be a princess". They wanna be a princess." -  Jim Larkin56:14 - "Disney really hurts. They gave my kids a great childhood. There was a lot of magic there, but it's all gone now." - Jim LarkinFollow the Pod Bless America Podcast on GETTREngage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: jim@pbapodcast.comEmail: dan@pbapodcast.comFacebookListen to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
