They talked about a grant she has been able to secure to fund the modeling instruction workshops through state funds, and another grant she is working on to provide stipends for teachers who attend the workshop. Guests Brooke Jenkins Brooke studied Chemistry Education and Physics teaching at Brigham Young University before going to Arizona State University where she earned her Masters in Chemistry. Her research in Chemistry specifically addressed assessment of conceptual understanding in chemistry. She has taught chemistry at the high school, community college and now at the university level. Since 2018 she has taught at Weber State University where she gets to mentor students working towards their licensure and has revamped the concurrent enrollment program. This redesign of the concurrent enrollment curriculum has allowed her to incorporate more modeling ideals into the labs and classroom. Hosting a modeling workshop in Utah has been on her bucket list since moving away from Arizona. She is very excited that this is the year this workshop will become a reality. Highlights [19:19] Brooke Jenkins "we go through an accreditation process to make sure that our concurrent enrollment program is in fact accredited. And one of those things is, you have to make sure that, what we're doing on campus is the same as what they're doing in the high schools, and that includes professional development for our teachers that are doing the program." [24:26] Brooke Jenkins "the way it works here in Utah is you get your license and then you get endorsed in different areas that you can teach in. And if a teacher is working towards an endorsement, then they can have their tuition covered for taking that class." [30:51] Brooke Jenkins "So if there's something in your state that can happen for your teachers, trying to figure out that incentive system may be a really big part to making your workshop successful."

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

President-elect Donald Trump has been meeting with foreign counterparts and news media, similar to what a president would be doing while in office. Washington Correspondent Kellie Meyer joins the show to talk about the president-elect's activities and the lack of activities from the outgoing President Biden. Leah Murray, co-host of Inside Sources and political science professor at Weber State University, talks with Debbie and Marty about the optics around the current president and president-elect. 

On this weekend of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there is a new survey that says people are happier when they shop in a store than online. Shopping in a store is an experience as opposed to just a transaction. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests about this on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Shauna Scott-Bellaccomo, former president of the Utah Women's Lobby, Dr. Michelle Arnold, professor of physics at Weber State University and Shanua Cheshire, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. 

KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson loves the Thanksgiving holiday, a time to just be with her family and eat! She asked her guests on A Woman's View what their traditions are for this wonderful holiday. Her guests this week include Shauna Scott-Bellaccomo, former president of the Utah Women's Lobby, Dr. Michelle Arnold, professor of physics at Weber State University and Shanua Cheshire, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. 

When we think about homeless people, do they have a right to not seek treatment? Do they have the right to live on the street, beg for money, etc.? Or should society force them to come inside, to be in a place of some kind - mandatory shelter? How do we balance the rights of the many and the rights of the few? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Shauna Scott-Bellaccomo, former president of the Utah Women's Lobby, Dr. Michelle Arnold, professor of physics at Weber State University and Shanua Cheshire, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. 

As we see more an more homeless people gather in public spaces in cities around the country, including here in Utah, some experts suggest that we need a seismic shift in how we address this issue. We can not build enough shelters or provide enough beds. That will not solve the problem. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Shauna Scott-Bellaccomo, former president of the Utah Women's Lobby, Dr. Michelle Arnold, professor of physics at Weber State University and Shanua Cheshire, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Leah Murray, Co-host of KSL at Night and Director of the Walker Institute of Politics at Weber State University, talks with Dave and Debbie about how the Harris campaign fell short.

Hosts: Leah Murray & Greg Skordas You’ve probably heard the question – or even asked it yourself: ‘why is everything so political nowadays?’ Has it always been like this? Yes and no. According to Weber State University political science professor Leah Murray, everything is political whether or not you want it to be. We finish off the week with a deep discussion on the political influences and nature of everything in life.

Hosts: Leah Murray & Greg Skordas Two Lymans drop out of gubernatorial race due to lawsuit from other LymanIt’s been one of the hot-button issues surrounding Utah’s gubernatorial race this election cycle: Lyman/Clawson vs. Lyman/Lyman. Both made the ballots as write-in candidates, and it sparked disagreement and controversy because of the identical last names. Lyman/Clawson sued Lyman/Lyman, and the latter has now withdrawn from the race. We discuss the legal and political parts of this new development. Abortion, transgender rights, education take center stage in CD-4 debateIncumbent Republican Representative Burgess Owens and Democratic challenger Katrina Fallick-Wang took to the debate stage last night as they try to woo voters in Utah’s 4th Congressional District. While they shared agreements on things like cutting spending and fixing immigration, they had stark differences on things like abortion, transgender students in sports, and education. We discuss their positions. Pres. Biden apologizes for 150+ years of sending indigenous children to boarding schoolsSpeaking in Arizona today, President Biden officially apologized – on behalf of the United States – for more than 150 years of policy that separated Native American children from their families and sent them to boarding schools. It comes following investigations showing roughly 1,000 indigenous children died at these schools. We hear what Pres. Biden had to say during his apology. Examining the celebrity endorsements of Trump and HarrisThe list of celebrity endorsements for both candidates have grown, but the kinds of celebrities endorsing former President Trump differs pretty starkly from the celebrities endorsing Vice President Harris. Why might this be? The KSL at Night hosts spend a few minutes having a political science discussion. Utah County Proposition 11: A supporter’s view of dissolving Alpine School DistrictProposition 11 is on the ballot in Utah County right now; it would create a new school district for the cities of Alpine, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Highland, Lehi, and parts of Draper. The idea isn’t necessarily new, but several cities have pushed this idea back to the forefront of folks’ minds. Nicki Brammer, President of the Best School Districts’ Fund supports Proposition 11 and joins the program to explain her stance. Utah County Proposition 14: A supporter’s view of dissolving Alpine School DistrictAnother proposition in Utah County would create another school district for the more western cities in the county: Cedar Fort, Eagle Mountain, Fairfield, and Saratoga Springs. Proposition 14 would also dissolve the Alpine School District and create a new district for the fastest-growing part of Utah County. Julie King, Member of the Alpine School District Board of Education supports Proposition 14 and joins the program to share her view of the issue. Demographics and their relationship to politicsDemographics play heavily into politics. Whether it’s the age of the voter – or the age of the candidate – there’s often lots of discussion on how an age affects a person’s vote or ability to run. And then there’s geography – our country is split up into states, counties, districts, etc. How does that affect politics? KSL at Night hosts Leah Murray and Greg Skordas share their thoughts. ‘Why is everything so political nowadays?’You’ve probably heard the question – or even asked it yourself: ‘why is everything so political nowadays?’ Has it always been like this? Yes and no. According to Weber State University political science professor Leah Murray, everything is political whether or not you want it to be. We finish off the week with a deep discussion on the political influences and nature of everything in life.
