Episode Topic: Empowering Families, Transforming Futures (https://go.nd.edu/ca6a42)The University of Notre Dame's Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child  works to create pathways out of adversity for the world's most vulnerable children in 25 countries around the world, leveraging evidence-based innovations to develop effective Whole Child Development (WCD) approaches to not only advance children's academic achievement, but also create safe, supportive, and equitable family, school, and community environments. Join Kate Schuenke-Lucien, Director for Haiti and Senior Associate Director for Strategic Planning, Father Lou DelFra '92, M. Div. '03, Director of Pastoral Life, Alliance for Catholic Education, and Makenzy Voltaire, Project Coordinator, Haiti for the Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child for a conversation about the intersection of faith, science, and how faith communities can nurture and support families with young children. Take a deep dive into the importance of integrating the science of early childhood development with the Catholic Church's teachings, and how Haitian parishes can empower parents. They explore the GC-DWC's work in the home and what it means when we say that parents are the “first teachers,” and how that aligns with what we know from both Catholic Social Teaching and the latest scientific research.Featured Speakers:Kate Schuenke-Lucien, Director for Haiti and Senior Associate Director for Strategic PlanningFr.

What does it truly mean to emerge as a middle leader? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Gavin Grift, author of Emerge: Overcoming Common Challenges Associated with Middle Leadership, joins us to reimagine leadership in today's educational landscape. We explore the profound concept that "Clarity Precedes Competence," reframing hardships as stepping stones to growth, and the role self-awareness plays in transformative leadership. Gavin unpacks how busyness has become the modern-day "I'm fine" and reveals how leaders can reclaim their time for what truly matters. Dive into Gavin's fascinating Leadership Archetypes—the Pleaser, Ostrich, Imposter, Dynamo, and the Judge & Juror—and learn practical ways to recognize and grow beyond these tendencies. Whether you're navigating the complexities of middle leadership or looking to refine your approach, this episode delivers a fresh perspective and powerful strategies to help you emerge stronger and more focused than ever. Don't miss this engaging conversation with one of education's most inspiring voices! About Gavin Grift: Gavin Grift's career in education began in 1992 as a primary school teacher, where he spent 15 years fostering student agency and empowering students to take ownership of their learning. His innovative practices and dedication to improving teaching led him to roles beyond the classroom, including serving as a cluster educator, where he supported eight schools in developing instructional strategies to enhance student outcomes. This pivotal role marked Gavin's transition from classroom teaching to educational leadership, focusing on systemic improvements in teaching and learning. In 2007, Gavin co-authored Assessing the Whole Child with Jane Satchwell, emphasizing student-led portfolios and conferences to empower students in their assessment processes. The book's success sparked invitations to present their work nationally, leading to partnerships with Hawker Brownlow Education to expand their reach. Around this time, Gavin's interest in cognitive development deepened after attending a Cognitive Coaching seminar with Thinking Collaborative. This experience shaped his approach to education and leadership, ultimately prompting him to transition into full-time consultancy, working with schools to strengthen teaching practices. Gavin's career reached new heights as he became Executive Director of a professional development venture created by Hawker Brownlow Education and Solution Tree. Under the mentorship of Richard and Rebecca DuFour, Gavin helped schools across Australia implement Professional Learning Communities, fostering collaboration and transforming teaching practices. During this period, he co-authored Teachers as Architects of Learning and deepened his international influence as a Cognitive Coaching training associate, supporting educators globally in reflective practices and leadership development. His widely praised books, including Emerge, Transformative Collaboration,

“Blessed are you, Lord God of all Creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will become for us the bread of life”     Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Today we have Anna Hurdle and Cathy Johanni on the podcast to continue this exploration of the second plane child as we begin this new atrium year as we prepare our hearts, our environments, our communities to welcome these children into our level two and level three atrium. They dive into the Montessori concept of work as a formation of self. We ponder how this applies to our work in the atrium, how do we facilitate that type of work in our atrium,   Cathy Johanni lives in Columbus, Ohio where she has enjoyed accompanying children on their spiritual journeys for more than two decades. She is recognized as a formation leader in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at levels I, II, and III.  She has been involved in Montessori education for a decade, working with children ages 5-14.   A member of the editorial committee for the United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Annual Journal. Cathy has authored articles and contributed to The Roman Missal Third Edition and the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Changes to Materials . She holds a Bachelor's degree in cultural anthropology from Princeton University, a Master's degree from The Ohio State University and Montessori Elementary certificates.

Many children with developmental and behavioral health needs often experience a difficult journey toward wellness due to services that are fragmented or inaccessible. UPMC Children's partnered with renowned UPMC Behavioral Health Services to launch a behavioral health medical home pilot for children and adolescents, Whole Child Wellness Clinic. This clinic is the first of its kind in the United States, and if proven effective, could revolutionize how to care for behavioral health in children, minimize stigma, and lessen the burden on families. As a pilot, Whole Child Wellness Clinic is largely supported by philanthropy.

Pete Imperial has been principal of St. Mary's Catholic High School in Berkeley, California, a Lasallian Catholic School of 160 years and going strong. Yet only 45% of the students are Catholics (though a similar number are Protestant Christians) and some of the kids have had no religious experience at all. How does a good Catholic school infuse the souls of its charges and the secular society at large with the Gospel and the teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic Church? Dr. Imperial has a BA from the University of California in Berkeley, an MA in history from San Francisco State University, and an EdD in Educational Administration from the University of San Francisco. In addition to running the school, he also teaches Islamic Studies, Economics, and East Asian History.

Pete Imperial has been principal of St. Mary's Catholic High School in Berkeley, California, a Lasallian Catholic School of 160 years and going strong. Yet only 45% of the students are Catholics (though a similar number are Protestant Christians) and some of the kids have had no religious experience at all. How does a good Catholic school infuse the souls of its charges and the secular society at large with the Gospel and the teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic Church? Dr. Imperial has a BA from the University of California in Berkeley, an MA in history from San Francisco State University, and an EdD in Educational Administration from the University of San Francisco. In addition to running the school, he also teaches Islamic Studies, Economics, and East Asian History.

“Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3    “Help us, O God, to enter into the secret of childhood, so that we may know, love and serve the child in accordance with the laws of thy justice and following thy holy will.” Maria Montessori     Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Artwork/Figure 11 from The Religious Potential of the Child that Rebekah speaks about    We are so happy to announce that Nurturing the Whole Child: Montessori Principles Applied to the Catechesis of Children by Gianna Gobbi is now available in print and on Kindle! For many years we have been looking to update, clarify, and add to Gianna's written work that was held in the book Listening to God with Children.  This is now published through our CGSUSA imprint with Liturgy Training Publications.  It is a beautiful book with chapters from Gianna that were written after the publication of Listening to God with Children. It had photos and an appendix of articles from others who have written about Gianna, including her closest collaborator, Sofia Cavalletti.  Rebekah joins us on the podcast to share with us about Gianna and the story of bringing her writing to us.   Rebekah is a catechist and formation leader in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd having completed her training in 1981 in Rome with Dr. Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi. She has translated several of their books and articles from the original Italian and has written and edited various parts of the CGS core texts. Rebekah is a catechist at her parish, St. Patrick Catholic Church, and for the Missionaries of Charity atrium in Memphis, Tennessee.

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd      Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd

On this show, we've talked about the effect that the pandemic has had on our kids, we've talked about the youth mental health crisis, we've talked about the complexities of our kids developing their identity online. It's clear that our kids are growing up in a time with unique challenges and very different from when we were kids and adolescents. So how can we help our children to truly thrive even in the face of so much disruption and uncertainty? My guest today, Stephanie Malia Krauss, is here to answer those questions and more.  I enjoyed this conversation so much, and especially the thoughtfulness with which Stephanie explores how our kids are experiencing their childhood and what it takes for them to grow up healthy and whole. We explored mental health, hope, resilience, identity, and so much more. This is a must-listen to episode for anyone who has the privilege of being a safe adult in the life of any child, whether you're a parent, a teacher, a coach, amentor.  I hope you enjoy our conversation.   About Stephanie Malia Krauss Stephanie Malia Krauss is an educator, social worker, and leading voice on what kids need to thrive in times of crisis and change.
