NL Holmes - Flowers of Evil: Hani's Daughter Mystery Series Book 1. This is episode 743 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
N.L. Holmes is an award-winning novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career, she served as a nun for two decades. In between, she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical Studies.
Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon. She taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in New Jersey and the University of South Florida for many years.
Her ten published novels embrace two series of historical fiction: the Lord Hani Mysteries, set in the Egypt of Akhenaten, and the Empire at Twilight series, featuring life in the Hittite Empire in the 13th century BCE. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!”
Holmes resides with her husband and three cats. She splits her time between Tampa, Florida, and northern France, where she gardens, weaves and plays the violin. She also has an adult son.
A little about Flowers of Evil
When two young women in ancient Egypt open a medical dispensary, they don’t expect their first patient to be a dying florist of Amen whose last words are totally mysterious. It’s Neferet and Bener-ib’s nature to want to appease the ba of the murder victim by finding his killer, and their teenaged apprentice is a born detective. But between the skepticism of their own families and the malice of a rival healer, they find out the simple desire to do the right thing gets them into more trouble than they could have imagined!
Our focus is on her book Flowers of Evil: Hani’s Daughter Mystery Series Book 1 and a peek at Book 2 - Web of Evil, Book 3 - Wheel of Evil and Book 4 - The Melody of Evil.
Exciting stories!

Self-Regulation: Controlling Your Behaviors, Part 2. This is episode 741 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
In the first episode on Self-Regulation, I shared some thoughts about what self-regulation means and how it appears in the classroom. (Episode 737). I use the term in referring to you the adult in the classroom keeping control of your behaviors. I also shared some thoughts about things that you can do to help keep you in control of you.
Today, I am sharing a specific strategy. It sounds simple enough but at times we can get frustrated with behaviors that the kids have previously exhibited and so we always associate those behaviors with that particular kid. To overcome always affiliating the bad with those one or two students something that works really well is to post an image, drawing, or place an object in the room that you will see that is there to remind you of something that student does well, or to make you think about a calming/happy thought, or to think of some specific positive characteristic the child exhibits most times. By doing this you will help counteract any negative thoughts that you immediately go to that are associated with previous bad behavior by that student. You will see the picture, the drawing, the object and say to yourself, "Remember you put that there to be patient with this child." Does that make sense? Try it. You will discover that adopting this technique to assist with your self-regulation will be very helpful.
What do you think about this?
Any thoughts or questions?
Reach out to me and ask.
Happy to talk about helping with self-regulation.

Self-Regulation: Controlling Your Behaviors. This is episode 737 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
On this episode I share my thoughts about self-regulation. Self-regulation is recognizing when you are not focused on controlling your behaviors. You could have had a bad morning, an interaction that made you angry, or just seem to always be out of sorts when that one kid or colleague come your way. You have to get control of you.
I share a few thoughts about getting control of you before you end up apologizing for your actions.

Do you make piles of paper and you swear that you can find whatever you need? The piles keep growing and growing and you start realizing that you really don't know where anything is located. That is if you are actually honest with yourself - you know that you are lying to you.

Get rid of those piles.

Marilyn Raichle - Don't Walk Away: A Care Partner's Journey. Enhancing the Lives of People Living with Dementia and their Care Partners. This is episode 732 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Marilyn Reichle, author of Don’t Walk Away, grew up in the shadow of Alzheimer's. Nearly everyone in her father’s family and many in her mother’s had developed the disease. But Raichle became transformed in her views towards those living with dementia, inspiring the launch of a book and several non-profits that helps — and celebrates — those living with the memory-robbing disease.
Raichle began her career in the theatre, founding the Seattle International Children's Festival. She served for 11 years at North America’s largest international festival for children, introducing children to world culture through the performing arts.
She then became the founding executive director of American Voices for nine years, building an informed, engaged, and good-humored community. In 2007, she received a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. She received her BA from the University of Washington.
Upon returning to Seattle, her career changed when she became the family caregiver for her parents, both of whom were developing dementia. In 2010, inspired by her mother's newfound artistic ability, she founded The Art of Alzheimer's, celebrating the creativity of those living with dementia and the power of the arts to enrich and empower their lives.
In 2019 she became the Executive Director of Maude's Awards for Innovation in Alzheimer's Care, celebrating and rewarding innovative programs and practices of care that are enhancing the lives of people living with dementia, and their care partners.
Our focus today is Marilyn's book - Don't Walk Away: A Care Partner's Journey.

A little about the HiTech Podcast...
The HiTech Podcast started because two friends couldn't shut up about their jobs and their wives were tired of listening to it on date night. So, we decided to bring our conversation to you, sharing our expertise and tomfoolery for all to hear.
We exist to help you, and ourselves, process the best ways to harness technology in the traditional or virtual classroom.
Here's a little about Josh…
A lover of technology, theology, and learning. I found my love for education early on as a college student. Higher education changed my life and that experience pushes me to always pursue better learning experiences. I am always looking for ways we can harness tech to enhance our teaching and learning.
And some about Will…
An educator by heart and practice. I caught the bug for teaching in the martial arts, but I extended that into higher education and non-profit education. Always looking to find the best tools and methods to solve our teaching and learning problems.
We had a blast, and you will too!

Failing grades, low college admissions, high percent of office referrals. 2/3 of IEP’s are boys, 70% of D’s & F grades are boys…there are no silver linings in the research. More than ever, boys dislike school and see it as a waste of time.

Lt. Col. Tom Williams USMC (Ret.) - Doorsteps of Hell: The Arizona & Tropical Jungles 1969 -1970; The Heart of a Marine Series, Book 1. This is episode 721 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
On 20 December 1944, Tom Williams was born Tom Collins in Savannah, GA. Abandonment by his biological father at the age of six months old, profoundly impacted Tom’s early life causing his mother to farm him out to relatives while she worked to make a living for them both.
At the age of six years old, Tom’s mother met and married U.S. Air Force Major Carl F. Williams Jr. This fortuitous marriage would bring about a radical change in Tom’s life. As a military dependent, he immediately found himself traveling the world, living in foreign lands, learning about Ancient Roman history and archaeology, assimilating a basic conversance in the French, Arabic, and Japanese Languages, as well as being immersed in their respective cultures. After Tom’s dad retired, his family moved to the Williams’ ancestral homestead established in 1832, in Dooly County Georgia. Yet again, living, working, and learning to manage the family farm would have another major influence on Tom’s future interests, especially regarding his love for the agrarian way of life.
From 1964-68 Tom attended North Georgia College (NGC) acquiring a BA degree in history and a minor in psychology and political science. He then attended the Marine Corps’ Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Quantico, Va., where he set the Marine Corps’ record of 52 seconds for the Obstacle Courses and was the Platoon Honor Man. He then completed The Basic School (TBS) for all newly commissioned Marine Corps 2nd lieutenants, also at Quantico, graduating in the top 10% of his class. Before leaving Quantico, Tom then attended and graduated from High Intensity Language Training (HILT) for Vietnamese.
As an infantry officer, Tom deployed as a 2nd lieutenant to Vietnam in 1969-70 where he commanded an infantry platoon in Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, followed by commanding a reconnaissance platoon as a 1st lieutenant in Alpha Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division.
Subsequent to this combat tour, Tom commanded the Shore Party Platoon at the 1st Marine Brigade, followed by commanding the 81mm Mortar Platoon in 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station, Hawaii. Twenty-five months later, on two days’ notice, Tom was redeployed back to Vietnam, as a captain, where he served as a school trained aerial observer.
During this second combat deployment, Tom was imbedded with a Vietnamese O-1 Bird Dog squadron flying 183 combat missions from Hue Phu Bai Airfield, during the 1972 Easter Offensive. During his twenty-nine-year career, Tom participated in six amphibious deployments: four Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) and two Marine Expeditionary Brigades (MEBs).
In 1976 as a school trained Communications Officer, he participated in the Non-Combat Evacuation Operation (NEO) of Beirut, Lebanon. In 1980-83, under secret orders, he was assigned as the regimental operations officer for developing the one-of-a-kind Mechanized Combined-Arms Task Force (MCATF), at Twenty-nine Palms, CA. In 1983-86, he was the Infantry Weapons Officer at Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) Washington, DC, responsible for replacing or improving all Marine Corps infantry weapons. From 1986-90, he was the Amphibious Operations Officer for Commander Sixth Fleet’s NATO staff, Commander Striking Forces South (CSFS) in Naples, Italy, responsible for coordinating all NATO amphibious training exercises throughout the Mediterranean Sea. That was followed by his participation in the First Gulf War, 1990-91, as a G3 operations officer with I MEF HQ.
His last major active-duty assignment was as the G3 for the first Marine Component HQ to the European Command (EUCOM), in Stuttgart, Germany, 1993-96.
After retiring in 1997, he spent eleven years as a contract mentor and trainer, six years in Saudi Arabia (1998-06) and five years in Afghanistan (2006-12).
Currently, he lives an agrarian life on a 75-acre cattle property, Camelot, located on the Lamington Rain Forest Plateau in southeastern Queensland, Australia. He raises beef cattle, sells free-range eggs, and is a beekeeper, a gardener, and is developing his home into a Bed & Breakfast, while also writing a series of books, Heart of a Marine, in which he shares his Marine Corps experiences and his life’s lessons learned.
Our focus will be Col. Williams book series Heart of a Marine - Book 1 - Doorsteps of Hell: The Arizona & Tropical Jungles 1969-1970
Incredible book.

The subfolder should stand out from the rest of the information that you have on your desk. Take care of the substitute teachers who will come to your class one day and leave him a subfolder that contains information about the day.
Are you ready in case you need to be out?

Writing in a Journal, Part 2
This is episode 713 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
When I was in the National Guard and US Army Reserve we used after action reports to help improve our unit's performance. We talked about what happened, what could have been better, and what we would do to accomplish more. We used those reports and the conversations to help improve the success of the unit.
When I was a high school principal A colleague suggested that I start using journaling to help me problem solve. He was right. It was amazing what having a conversation with myself at the end of the workday did for me. It helped work through challenges and create better solutions. I still have conversations with myself through journaling. I focus on asking these three questions:
-
What happened?
-
What went right and what went wrong?
-
What would I do differently next time?
My focus today is talking about what to write and determining the frequency that you will write.
Try journaling to help you become better at working through challenges. You won't regret it.

Jennifer A. Lenhardt - Common Denominators: Cultivating Engagement and Belonging in Secondary Mathematics. This is episode 712 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Jennifer Lenhardt (she/her) is all-in for the whole-human experiences of students, teachers, and leaders. Whether at work, in her writing, or a coffee-chat, she seeks to integrate her experiences as a teacher and research interest in equity and culturally responsive teaching.
As a mathematics intervention teacher at a middle school, she worked collaboratively with educators across the district to launch and refine approaches to Tier 3 interventions and to support multilingual mathematics learners. Jennifer's education and passion are focused on the teachers and educational leaders of middle and high school students for whom learning mathematics is yet to be a source of joy, inspiration, or belonging.
Through ongoing analysis of factors that affect the development of students’ and teachers’ multiple and intersecting identities, Lenhardt seeks to describe how we can better understand our lived experiences in and out of school and create the spaces necessary for flourishing.
Our focus will be Jennifer’s book - Common Denominators: Cultivating Engagement and Belonging in Secondary Mathematics

He started out as a teamster for nine years and a fledgling stage actor, until he got his first break, writing for the NBC romance detective drama starring Pierce Brosnan, Remington Steele. It would parlay into a 22-year Hollywood career that includes writing credits for movies The Rundown, starring Duane “The Rock” Johnson, Major League 2, starring Charlie Sheen, and television’s Cleopatra 2525. He also worked on projects withKevin Costner, Rebecca De Mornay and James Garner.

He has spent thousands of hours riding a trail horse and likes to collect historical documents specializing in 18th century history.
Stewart graduated from Florida International University.
He lives on a San Diego County horse ranch with his wife of 51 years, Kat O’Connor. Various horses and dogs have been kind enough to share their ranch with R.J. and Kat, including Danny, a beautiful palomino who inspired the creation of the buckskin character in Crazy Hawk, his first novel.

Will Illingworth & Josh Swartz - HiTech Podcast - talk with Steve about Old Tech We Have Found and Compare It to New Tech. This is episode 689 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Will and Josh from the HiTech podcast are back and today we are focused on some old tech that we have found. We spent a couple of months visiting garage sales, estate sales, and stores like Good Will. The purpose was to see what cool old tech we could find and share on the show.
We bring to the table a telescope, scanner, a unique phone, a couple Walkman, a Palm Pilot III, and a movie camera, editing station, and a home movie projector. We share our technology from the past and compare it to technology from today. It is amazing how much old tech has been replaced by one device - Do you know what that device is?
We had a blast talking about old technology.
Thanks, Will and Josh for the great discussion!
That was fun!

Father's Day is here! Great time to spend time with your kids and family. Lots of great fun. I'm looking forward to spending time with my sons and wife this Father's Day. We have some fun planned. In the past we have played games, gone fishing, hiked, watched movies, bowled, and so much more. Father's Day is awesome! My podcast friend Jeff Ikler - who creates and hosts his show Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity - had a real cool show this week For Father's Day - Maybe the Best Gift Ever - 314
His focus on his father made me think about my father. So, I decided to do a drift down memory lane. You should take time to listen to Jeff's show. Hope that when you listen to our two shows that you start having fun with your memories.
Thanks for listening.
All the best.

Vince Shorb - Founder & CEO of the National Financial Educators Council: Financial Education Reform in High Schools. This is episode 678 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Vince Shorb stands as a prominent advocate for financial education and reform in high school subjects nationwide. His primary objective is to ensure that today’s youth graduate with the practical skills they need to navigate life’s challenges and empower them with essential knowledge for leading secure, fulfilling lives.
Drawing from his extensive 30-year experience in the financial services and financial education sectors, Shorb has witnessed firsthand the financial struggles Americans face. He acknowledges that many long-term issues originate in early adulthood, often stemming from students graduating with insufficient or no financial education and lacking the essential skills sought by employers in the modern workforce.
In 2006, Shorb took a pivotal step toward addressing this issue by establishing the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC), an organization committed to tackling the epidemic of financial illiteracy. As the current CEO of the NFEC, he leads an IACET Accredited company and a Certified B Corporation, further underscoring his dedication to advancing financial education and subject reform in U.S. high schools.

William J. Carl - Assassin's Manuscript - Writing Techniques, Thriller Novel, and Fiction vs Non-Fiction. This is episode 668 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Once a pastor, seminary president, professor, and US Senate Guest Chaplain, William J. Carl, Ph.D., is a Greek Scholar, award-winning screenwriter, playwright, poet, and lyricist. With the recent publication of Assassin’s Manuscript, he is now the author of a thriller.
He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in Rhetoric and Communication. In 2013 he was given Pitt’s Golden Medallion Award as a Distinguished Alumnus and was named one of 200 most influential leaders out of 300,000 living alums globally.
Dr. Carl has spoken at dozens of leading schools, including Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, and Boston University. He has spoken in 40 states across the United States and in Russia, South Africa, India, Rwanda, Taiwan, Canada, South Korea, and China. He has lectured on the brain at medical conferences and medical schools since 2000.
For 22 years, he appeared every third week on the ABC television affiliate in Dallas. He was also interviewed on the PBS affiliate in Dallas, discussing the tensions between Christians, Muslims and Jews in the Middle East where his main theme was finding common ground.
The author of eight non-fiction books (two translated into Korean) and 75 articles and reviews for religious publications, his screenplay, Maggie’s Perfect Match, was the winner of the Telluride Indiefest Screenwriting Contest.
He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Tulsa, where in 1970 was named “Man of the Year”. He received his Masters of Divinity from Louisville Presbyterian Seminary where he was the Patterson Fellow in Greek and named a Distinguished Alumnus in 2007. He received honorary doctorates from Presbyterian College, Sterling College, and Waynesburg College.
Carl is presently the Founder and CEO of LeConte Publishing, LLC, and Partner and Founding Board Member of Briggs Development Group (briggsintl.com). He is also the former President of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Born in Broken Arrow, OK, he grew up in Bartlesville, OK. He has lived in Chicago, Tulsa, Louisville, Richmond, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Birmingham. He resides in Maryville, TN.
A little bit about Assassin’s Manuscript:
When former CIA assassin Adam Hunter’s last hit goes awry, he attempts to leave behind his world of espionage and murder by embarking on a career in ministry. But soon, he is pulled back in to crack a code hidden in an ancient manuscript in order to foil a terrorist plot. In the meantime, Renie Ellis, a lawyer in the small town he’s moved to gets caught up in his dilemma and falls in love with him, not realizing he killed her fiancé by accident. What will she do when she finds out who Adam really is? The heist of a famous Codex from the British Museum, Papal intrigue in the Vatican, both Sicilian and Russian Mafia, and a US President who knows more than she admits all play key roles in a story that keeps the reader guessing until the end, a conclusion that no one sees coming. From Rome to Jerusalem, from Egypt’s Mt. Sinai to Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains, the characters scramble for their lives, racing the clock to prevent an international disaster.
Our focus today is William’s Novel - Assassin’s Manuscript….
Cool story!
Page turner!

Dr. Stephen A. Furlich - Nonverbal Epiphany: Steps to Improve Your Nonverbal Communication. This is episode 659 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Dr. Stephen Furlich is the author of Nonverbal epiphany: Steps to Improve Your nonverbal Communication. He is also the best-selling author of a breakthrough book, Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life’s Stages. He has taught and researched communication at the university level for over 20 years. He has taught a variety of communication courses with the main focus of better understanding oneself and others. Often, his research projects and the courses that he taught, complemented each other and led into innovative directions. Dr. Furlich has been an associate professor at Texas A & M University since 2018 and served as an assistant professor there for five years prior to that. He has presented at many conferences, including: DFW Metroplex Linguistics Conference, Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education Conference, E-Learning Conference, National Communication Association Conference, Southern States Communication Association Conference, International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines, and International Conference of the American Pragmatics Association.
Dr. Furlich, who was recently interviewed by One America News Network, has been published in numerous journals, including: Texas Speech Communication Journal, Kentucky Journal of Communication, The Florida Communication Journal, Journal of Applied communication Research, Academic Exchange Quarterly, Journal of Integrated Social Sciences, and Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
His communication paradigm is from a receiver’s perspective. This places the emphasis on the listener to better understand from the speaker’s perspectives and as a speaker emphasizing understanding from the listener’s perspectives. Both of these become more challenging as differences increase between the speaker and listener.
Dr. Furlich has become fascinated with technological advancements in science that have enabled a better understanding of communication. Without these scientific advances, understanding communication is quite limited. This line of research has inspired him to write this book to bring together many different scientific studies to better understand the role of biology with nonverbal communication cues.
He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education, a Master of Arts in Communication Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Tech University. He resides in McKinney, Texas.
Our focus today is his book - Nonverbal Epiphany: Steps to Improve Your Nonverbal Communication.
Lots to learn!

Coach Carlos Johnson - Power Engage: Seven Power Moves for Building Strong Relationships to Increase Engagement with Students and Parents. This is episode 654 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
As a professional speaker, trainer, and author, Carlos Johnson, aka “Coach Carlos,” is locally bred, but his work and research on culture and engagement have taken him across the nation and globe.
Coach Carlos and his team of consultants have utilized his experience and research to successfully turn around three failing public schools and one private Christian academy. In addition, his training and strategies have helped to change school culture and increase parental engagement, student enrollment, and staff and student retention.
His driving belief can be best summarized by the following quote: “After 20 years of research, all evidence confirms that a highly engaged school culture is the mother of high performance!” The research and results from this philosophy led Coach Carlos to create his systematic approach to revolutionizing school culture by teaching districts how to build healthy performance-based relationships and institutionalize stakeholder engagement. In 2015, Coach Carlos stepped into principalship, and during his three-year tenure, he doubled school enrollment, increased staff pay, transformed school culture, and increased student performance schoolwide.
In response to the national school-to-prison pipeline crisis for young men, Coach Carlos created an online Tier-2 PBIS behavior and leadership course for boys called Future Man Success Prep. In addition, his PowerEngage system is an online/on-site system that trains thousands of parents, students, and instructional teams each year on the psychology and practice of engagement.
Coach Carlos is committed to transforming institutions and individuals through leadership and learning.
Our focus today is his book - Power Engage: Seven Power Moves for Building Strong Relationships to Increase Engagement with Students and Parents.
Coach Carlos has an awesome focus!
So much to learn from him.

Brittany Holmes - Second World: The Warnings 212. This is episode 645 of Teaching Learning Leading k12, an audio podcast.
Brittany Holmes has a passion for educating children. It began with writing on her teachers‛ chalkboards after school. Her favorite feeling was the silky, smooth chalk caked on her fingers. Fast forward many years later, Brittany found herself a mom to Triston, a boy with special needs. Being an educator, she never imagined that she would have a child who struggled academically. Triston is also on the Autism spectrum; and Brittany soon realizes the same feelings that were soothing to her growing up, irritated her son. As much as she loves Triston, she could not deny the difficulty in raising a child with special needs. A huge support to Brittany was her mom, affectionately known as “Nana”. Nana doted on Triston, and displayed patience with him during his most difficult times. Brittany is the author of a children’s book series - A Boy and his Nana.
Brittany Holmes also is the author of the "212" series. Brittany has been an educator for over 20 years. She remembers watching a parent trying to register their child for school. In order for the child to be quiet and not bother the parent, the child was handed a device. When the parent wanted their phone back because they had finished registration, the child threw a fit. They screamed and started kicking. The parent handed the device back and immediately the child calmed down. She witnessed many incidents similar to this over the years. So, when she started the 212 Trilogy, a lot of her personal feelings about technology's impact on people, inspired her writing. The first book in the series, "The Writ 212" was written and published 7 days before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world. Many, who were closed in during the pandemic, read her first book "The Writ 212" and found eerie similarities to the content and the state of the world, calling the book insightful and ahead of its time.
During the pandemic, Brittany released the prequel, "The Warnings 212" which delves into the lives of her characters. Again, readers found many parallels to the world's future and the book’s contents. Readers of the 212 series share similar concerns about where the world is headed if we continue our dependency on technology.
Brittany enjoys writing about her passions and uses both the children's book series and science fiction series to share knowledge, spread consciousness, and build relationships with those who have similar thoughts and experiences.
Our focus today is Brittany's latest book - Second World: The Warnings 212.
Thanks for listening and sharing.

Amy M. Pollack - Coming of Age Book Series by a Retired Teacher and Grandparent: The Adventures of Jelly Bean & The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean. This is episode 635 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Amy Meislin Pollack was a teacher for over four decades, raised three children, and loves to play with her seven grandchildren. From her own childhood to the classroom and as a parent and grandparent, she is perfectly positioned to pen her coming-of-age book series.
The Adventures of Jelly Bean, followed by The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, first came into being when the author's fourth-grade teacher used to ask her to get up in front of the class and tell the stories about this character she would make up as she went along.
Several years later she started writing these stories down and would work on them periodically in any free time she had during her teaching career and raising her three children.
Now retired from a 40-year career in teaching - spanning a wide range of subjects and grade levels - she has embarked on a lively writing career.
The silver lining of the Covid pandemic for Pollack was that she was more or less forced, after approximately 60 years, to finish her Jelly Bean books.
Her books are about a young girl whose life is always changing and how she adapts to these changes. She tries to work out relationships with her friends, her parents, her older brothers, her uncle. Her parents do not want her best friend, who is of mixed race, to visit. Another friend is anorexic. One brother drops out of school. A grandparent dies.
Pollack earned a BA in English from Goucher College in Baltimore and received her Master’s in English from University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. She was certified as a secondary education and reading specialist for grades K-12 and earned a special education teaching degree from NYU, allowing her to teach disabled students.
For six years she was a professor of writing, and a teacher in the tutoring center at Montclair State University in NJ. She lives in central New Jersey with her husband and their dog named Bunny. For more information, please see her website, www.amypollack.com.
About The Adventures of Jelly Bean:
What if the start to your day was falling into the toilet, which caused you to miss your carpool, that in turn caused you to get to school late, that ultimately caused you to miss getting one of the decent parts in the upcoming Thanksgiving play? That is exactly what happens to fourth-grader Jelly. Bean on the day we first meet her. Things only go downhill from there and no one at home seems to have much time for her. Except Roger-Over, her beloved dog.
About The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean:
Jelly Bean in the continuation of her adventures as she seeks solutions to the challenges that confronted her in book 1. Michael, her oldest brother, has dropped out of school and joined the Marines, which usurps much of her parents' attention. Kylie, the new girl in school, faces a medical emergency. And Jelly Bean is still forbidden from going to her best friend's house.
She has to decide how to deal with these dilemmas and more. Along the way she learns about love, death, pain, relationships, the difference between right and wrong and the value of friendship. See the world through the eyes of this forthright fourth grader as she discovers two truths about life - that it is always complicated, and always changing.
Awesome conversation!
Cool books!

On February 1st of 2022, I reported to a local hospital at 5:15AM for surgery to remove a tumor from my brain. The surgery took 10 hours. The two surgeons - a neurologist and an inner ear specialist worked together to remove the growing obstruction in my brain. The tumor was not cancer it is something known by multiple names - but was referred to as an acoustic neuroma or a vestibular schwannoma.
After experiencing issues of sudden dizziness and a strange feeling of being off-balance as well as I thought that I had swimmer's ear... I was having a hard time hearing in my right ear, and it felt like when you have been swimming, and you get water in your ear - I finally went to see a doctor. This led to a couple of MRIs and numerous doctor visits with specialists and the diagnosis of a tumor.
When I first looked at the tumor in an MRI, it looked like a small marble, 6 months later on a new MRI it looked like a small mushroom.
The tumor was growing on the nerve that controls hearing and balance on my right side. The fear was that it would eventually attach itself to the nerve that controls the right side of my face which would cause major issues.
The surgeons decided that the best path was to remove the tumor and not use radiation.
I was told that I would most probably lose all hearing in my right ear they were correct.
Elizabeth Splaine is an author, voice teacher, voice actor, and a former professional opera singer. I interviewed her about her novels - Steel Butterflies (Episode 593) and Swan Song (Episode 461) - see links below.

Alan Gayton: Technology Director, Sci-Fi Enthusiast, and Barbecue Competitor. This is episode 628 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Alan Gayton is a 51-year-old IT geek who has been playing with computers since he was a kid stealing software on a Commodore 64. He started his career as the first Technology Specialist for Gordon County Schools, where he had the dubious honor of fixing the computers and switches that always broke down. He then became an Instructional Technology Specialist, where he had to deal with endless questions such as “What does ‘click here’ mean?” He is now the Director of Technology for the North Georgia RESA, where he has the daunting task of managing the technology needs and issues of the RESA and its 5-member school districts.
When he is not glued to his screen or phone, Alan likes to pretend that he is a pitmaster and a martial arts expert. He competes in competition BBQ as one half of team Q-Inator!, which is a clever name that he came up with after watching too much Phineas and Ferb. He and his partner have won some trophies and ribbons in various categories, but they are still far from being the best of the best. Alan also practices karate, which he learned from watching Karate Kid and Cobra Kai. He has a black belt, which he bought online (or maybe earned at UKS Karate), and he likes to show off his moves to anyone who will watch.
Alan is always willing to help or teach someone something new, as long as they don’t ask too many questions or challenge his authority. He is a proud father of two children who are smarter and more talented than him, and a loyal husband to his wife who puts up with his antics. He lives in Calhoun, Georgia, where he enjoys the fresh air and the peaceful surroundings.
Alan's Brunswick Stew Recipe
MEAT:
½ lb smoked pork
½ lb smoked beef
½ lb smoked chicken
OR
1 can Castleberry BBQ Pork
1 can Castleberry BBQ Beef
! lrg can Chunk Chicken
2 cans cream corn
2 cans petite diced tomatoes
1 bottle Chili sauce
¼ cup favorite bbq sauce (more or less to taste)
Hot sauce to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all in crock pot and cook on high for around 4 hours or on low for around 8.
A few notes:
- Meat
- To get it to turn out more like mine, you will need to use smoked meat and run it through a grinder with a large-holed plate. It will still be great if you don’t, but it does give it that more authentic texture
- Home smoked meat is best, but you can also get it from a local bbq restaurant
- If you decide to use canned, it is getting hard to find the Castleberry’s products in stores (particularly the beef) but you can probably use other brands or shop online.
- Feel free to add other veggies to make it how you like.
Awesome conversation!

Dennis A. Feece may not sound like your typical novelist who crafted a murder mystery, but he calls upon a variety of experiences, hobbies, and schooling to create the realism in his newest book, Love, Pride, & Murder.
The former motorcycle rider and sports car driver has lived a life of exploration, marrying, divorcing and chasing after understanding.
For three decades, he engaged in a career of book manufacturing, serving from frontline supervisor to vice president of operations. He worked for several companies, including Bertelsmann, Maple-Vail Book Manufacturing, and RR Donnelley.
He then became a pastoral associate at a local church and served a decade as the religious education teacher, social concerns, administrative, confirmation coordinator, adult education facilitator, and RCIA coordinator.
Feece earned a B.S. majoring in Psychology and minoring in Religious Studies from College Misericordia in PA. He also spent four years in Deaconate Formation at St. Pius X, in PA. He earned an MA in Theology from University of Scranton in PA.
Born and raised in Plymouth, Indiana, he has also lived in CT and NH. He resides in Montrose, PA and enjoys weightlifting, writing, and exploring his spiritual curiosity.
A little about Love, Pride, & Murder…
Love, Pride, and Murder is a murder mystery, taking place in New Hampshire, primarily Concord and upstate, near Hanover, and Woodstock. A young woman hires the PI to investigate a supposed accident that she believes to have been a murder. The plot is woven around the investigation.

N.L. Holmes - Flowers of Evil: Hani's Daughter Mystery Series Book 1. This is episode 624 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
N.L. Holmes is a prolific novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career she served as a nun for two decades. In between she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life, and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today.
Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Studies from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in N.J. and University of South Florida for many years. She also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon.
With 11 published novels, Holmes is the creator of The Lord Hani Mysteries. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!”
She also penned The Empire At Twilight series, historical fiction set in the 13th century C.B. during the Hittite Empire, and Hani’s Daughter Mysteries, a spin-off historical fiction series.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology.
Holmes resides with her husband, three cats, and a dog. They split their time between Tampa, Florida and northern France, where she gardens, weaves, and plays the violin. They have an adult son. For more information, please consult www.nlholmes.com.
A little about Flowers of Evil
When two young women in ancient Egypt open a medical dispensary, they don’t expect their first patient to be a dying florist of Amen whose last words are totally mysterious. It’s Neferet and Bener-ib’s nature to want to appease the ba of the murder victim by finding his killer, and their teenaged apprentice is a born detective. But between the skepticism of their own families and the malice of a rival healer, they find out the simple desire to do the right thing gets them into more trouble than they could have imagined!
Today we are focused on her book Flowers of Evil: Hani’s Daughter Mystery Series Book 1.
Awesome book!
Engaging story.

Scott M. Hoffman - Discusses His Thriller - Inside: A Fictional Account of a Member of an Organized Crime Family - 621
Scott M. Hoffman was a witness to historical events concerning major mob families. He learned the inner workings from his dad, who loyally served The Outfit for over 55 years – never spending a day in prison. Now 74, he is a native of Chicago. He is a graduate of Long Island University-Brooklyn with a B.A. in Journalism. For 35 years he worked for the City of Chicago in the Departments of Purchasing and Finance. Inside is his first published book.
Scott Hoffman is not a name that is listed in any court records or historical documents about the Mafia. But he was in the room when meetings took place, he saw street enforcers and juice collectors deal out punishment, and he interacted with the real Goodfellas and Godfathers, including notorious gangsters Henry Hill, Tony Accardo, and Sam Giancana.
Inside begins in 1956 with Jimmy Williams, a 47-year-old man with two families-his wife and two children and the Outfit. He's a good man, a good husband, and a good father, while, at the same time, he is a physically powerful man who is well respected as a consigliere in the Outfit. He keeps his two lives separated, to the point his wife is unaware of what he does.
Awesome conversation!

HiTech Podcast with Will & Josh. This is episode 608 of the Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
HiTech Podcast started because two friends couldn't shut up about their jobs and their wives were tired of listening to it on date night. So, we decided to bring our conversation to you, sharing our expertise and tomfoolery for all to hear.
We exist to help you, and ourselves, process the best ways to harness technology in the traditional or virtual classroom.
Here's a little about Josh…
A lover of technology, theology, and learning. I found my love for education early on as a college student. Higher education changed my life, and that experience pushes me to always pursue better learning experiences. I am always looking for ways we can harness tech to enhance our teaching and learning.
And some about Will…
An educator by heart and practice. I caught the bug for teaching in the martial arts, but I extended that into higher education and non-profit education. Always looking to find the best tools and methods to solve our teaching and learning problems.
Lots to learn about HiTech Podcast.

Dr. Phil Zelazo - Reflection Sciences. This is episode 606 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Reflection Sciences is the culmination of twenty years of groundbreaking research and unwavering passion for Executive Function. Phil Zelazo, Ph.D. and Stephanie Carlson, Ph.D., researchers at the University of Minnesota and Co-founders of Reflection Sciences, spent years studying Executive Function and determining how it could be improved, and how that, in turn, could improve early childhood education. They soon realized a key component was missing: an effective way to scientifically and objectively measure Executive Function in young children. With a growing appreciation of the need for services around Executive Function, and with support from the National Institutes of Health, the Co-founders created the best measure of Executive Function available today, a direct behavioral assessment of the neurocognitive skills that are most vital to academic and life success.
After seeing the effectiveness of the assessment in their own research, Dr. Carlson and Dr. Zelazo created Reflection Sciences in 2014 to bring it to the broader educational community. Our assessment and related products are now being used around the world to accurately measure Executive Function in preschools, K-12 schools, after-school programs, Head Start programs, pediatric clinics, and research universities.
Phil Zelazo, Ph. D. is the Co-Founder of Reflection Sciences and a Nancy M. and John E. Lindahl Professor at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota. He was formerly a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto (1993-2007).

Al Olson - The History of the American Renaissance Festival. This is episode 602 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Al Olson is one of a select handful of eccentric, quirky, and entertaining people who helped grow the American Renaissance Festivals into being a very popular ticket. He shares his story in his comprehensive book, A History of the American Renaissance Festival. While attending the University of Minnesota, working nights in a parking ramp and pumping iron at the Dove’s bicep gym, he also performed his original songs in the same coffee houses that Bob Dylan had a few years earlier on the west bank of the Mississippi. The artistic director of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival attended a theatrical presentation of his original works at Theatre in the Round and hired him on the spot.
He began performing at Renfairs as a member of the group, “Pumpkin,” writing original Renaissance music. After less than a season, he noted the greater crowd impact of groups like Penn and Teller, Avner the Eccentric, the Flying Karamazov Brothers, and Puke and Snot. As a result, Smee and Blogg were formed out of frustration and a desire to present something unique. The tandem comedic vaudeville act performed for 36 years, singing and dancing across the U.S. and Canada at 56 renaissance festivals and medieval faires.
After the act stopped performing in 2013, he continued as the Singing Executioner and renaissance and medieval faires in Texas and Oklahoma to this day. For the past decade he has served as the master of properties for Texas Ballet Theatre. For six years he was the general manager and co-founder of the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. Over the past two decades he has performed voice-overs for radio commercials for various festivals. Earlier in his career, he produced a musical album and served on the board of directors for Real Community Theater in Minneapolis. He’s been interviewed on dozens of radio and TV shows and has been featured in over100 newspaper articles. Olson, who grew up in South Minneapolis, now resides in Ft. Worth, Texas. For more information, please see: www.singingexecutioners.com and https://www.smeebuchs.square.site.

RICK YAROSH - HOPE ExpertRick Yarosh is a Retired Sergeant with the United States Army turned husband and father of two. Rick was deployed to Iraq in December 2005 where he spent nine months before being severely injured by an IED in Abu Ghraib on September 1, 2006.
For half a year, Rick recovered in the hospital at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX, fighting through his 2nd and 3rd degree burns on over 60% of his body. He had his right leg amputated below the knee, lost both ears, his nose, multiple fingers, and most of the function in both hands. For his heroic service, Rick received the purple heart and was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Since then, Rick has spoken to millions from all walks of life, including sports teams, schools, churches, the military, non-profits, and even on Fox News! His message of overcoming adversity and turning a negative situation into a positive one has made Rick one of the world’s HOPE experts. Today, Rick is happily married and can honestly say he is better than he has ever been before. The only reason he would change that fateful moment on September 1 is if he could bring back his brothers in arms who were lost in combat.
This is such a powerful episode.
So much to learn about hope and staying focused on what matters.
Amazing conversation!

Judith Sanders - The Huntsman: A Psychological Thriller. This is episode 598 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Judith Sanders was born and raised in New Jersey, where she spent most of her childhood exploring the great outdoors and dreaming of one day becoming a nurse. After graduating high school, she pursued her passion for healthcare and earned a bachelor's degree in nursing from Graceland University.
The Huntsman is her fourth novel. Her first book, Crescent Veil, is a novel about germ warfare which Heartland Reviews praised as 'nonstop action based on the real deal by authors who should know what they are presenting'. Other books by Judith - In His Stead and Star Finder
She was an Indie Excellence Award Finalist for In His Stead and was shortlisted for Chanticleer International Book Awards for Star Finder. She has been featured in interviews by dozens of news media outlets.
Judith's dedication to her profession led her to work on the front lines in community hospitals and as a civilian nurse at the US Army's lead infectious Disease Institute in Maryland, where she gained invaluable experience and knowledge that would shape her life and career.
After raising three boys and moving around, living in Somerville, NJ, San Antonio Tx, Albany, NY, Frederick and Clarksburg MD, Phoenixville, PA, and Leland/Wilmington NC, she and her husband finally settled in rural New Hampshire, where she found solace in the quiet lakeside days and evenings that inspire her writing.
Judith's extensive experience in nursing has not only helped her develop a keen sense of empathy and understanding for people from all walks of life but has also allowed her to draw inspiration for her writing from the stories of real people living and struggling through life one chapter at a time. Her best stories are a collage of bits and pieces taken from these experiences, creating a rich tapestry of characters and situations that resonate with readers of all ages.
Frank is Judith Sanders’ husband of 42 years and was coauthor on Judith’s first book “CRESCENT VEIL”, a fiction novel about the hunt for a biologic weapons terrorist on the loose in the Middle East.
Frank is trained as a medical virologist and had a career in the military (US Army Lieutenant Colonel, retired) and then civilian pharmaceutical medicine developing vaccines to help prevent infectious diseases before retiring from practice in 2022.
In the course of Judith’s novels Dr. Malinoski has supported and facilitated the publication and promotion of her works. Frank has been a confidant to Judith in her writing and an early reviewer of her books. Judith is known for taking bits and pieces of real people she has met to mold the characters she writes about although Frank believes he was not a model for THE HUNTSMAN.
Frank’s first reaction after reading THE HUNTSMAN was to decide if he should hide the kitchen knife sets.
Education:
BA from Colby College
PhD from Rutgers University
MD from Albany Medical College of Union University
A little bit about The Huntsman…
ICU nurse Max Mason fears his pregnant wife is the latest victim of a serial killer who has terrorized their small New Hampshire town. The investigation is at a standstill as the prime suspect, Lincoln Raider, is in a coma. In a desperate and unethical act, Max sits at Lincoln’s bedside night after night employing brainwashing techniques and subliminal suggestion to convince the suspect they are kindred-spirits, hoping it will lead to a confession or at least a clue. When Lincoln awakens, he draws Max into a whirlpool of terror, deception, and violence, ultimately pulling Lincoln’s wife and daughter into the vortex as well.
Cool story!
Page turner!
Awesome talk!

A little about Steel Butterflies...
(Based on True Events)
Ebony Dobbs has problems: unruly hair, not fitting in with the popular kids, figuring out how to pay for college…and a secret she’s buried so deeply even though she doesn’t know the truth.
A kick-butt best friend, Connor Leibovitz, uses his computer genius to dig into a new secret... Ebony reluctantly accompanies her mother on a home health visit, meeting Madame Celeste DeWit, a 97-year-old with a closet full of skeletons from WWII.
As Ebony learns the truth about Madame’s wartime exploits, she comes to terms with her own past, realizing she and Madame share more than they differ. When Connor uncovers information that implicates Madame’s estate manager in a plot to steal the old woman’s fortune, the teenagers launch a campaign to protect her, even as Madame’s past barrels into the present, threatening to destroy everything in its path.
Inspired by real people and places, Steel Butterflies will have you marveling at the beautiful simplicity of true friendship, as well as the courage of women who come face-to-face with determining their future.

Jeanne McCarty - CEO of Out Teach: Converting Outdoor Spaces into Real World Labs. This is episode 587 of Teaching Learning Leading k12, an audio podcast.
Jeanne McCarty joined Out Teach as the first CEO in 2007. Since then, she has spent her days setting strategy, securing resources, and mobilizing as many people as she can towards their vision for all children, no matter their resources, to have access to a transformative, hands-on education.
Together with a talented team and visionary board, they have grown Out Teach from a local nonprofit to a national organization that inspires and prepares hundreds of thousands of students to be thinkers, dreamers, and doers.
A few years back a national survey noted that kids in grades K-3 were taught science for an average of just 18 minutes a day compared with 89 minutes for English Language Arts and 57 minutes for math.
Out Teach, a non-profit, delivers personalized hands-on training, collaborative partnerships, and easily accessible resources that help teachers recast everyday outdoor spaces into exciting labs.
Jeanne joins me to talk about science instruction, specifically outdoor science learning, and why it is critical that more children have access to this kind of learning.
Education is in her DNA. Jeanne grew up in the piney woods of Mississippi, where her parents and grandparents were educators. Her dad was most at home outdoors, and her earliest memories are days spent in his gardens and exploring creeks near our home. For more than 30 years, she has followed in their footsteps, yet forged her own path to bring real-world experiences to all students from kindergarten to college.
Jeanne enjoys at the end of a long day, sitting on the back porch with her family (especially in July when the bats and fireflies are out) or spending time on the couch with her family and the cats.
Awesome focus!

George Stevens, Jr. has achieved an extraordinary creative legacy over a career spanning more than 60 years. He is a writer, director, producer, playwright and author. He has enriched the film and television arts as a filmmaker and is widely credited with bringing style and taste to the national television events he has conceived.
As a writer, director and producer, Stevens has earned many accolades, including 15 Emmys, two Peabody Awards for Meritorious Service to Broadcasting, the Humanitas Prize and 8 awards from the Writers Guild of America, including the Paul Selvin Award for writing that embodies civil rights and liberties. In 2012 the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted to present Stevens with an Honorary Academy Award for “extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement.”
Stevens served for eight years as Co-chairman of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities following his appointment by President Obama in 2009. Stevens is Founding Director of the American Film Institute and during his tenure, more than 10,000 irreplaceable American films were preserved and catalogued to be enjoyed by future generations. In addition, he established the AFI’s Center for Advanced Film Studies, which gained a reputation as the finest learning opportunity for young filmmakers.
Stevens was executive producer of The Thin Red Line, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. He co-wrote and produced The Murder of Mary Phagan, starring Jack Lemmon, which received the Emmy for Outstanding Mini-Series. He wrote and directed Separate But Equal starring Sidney Poitier and Burt Lancaster which also won the Emmy for Outstanding Mini-Series. He produced an acclaimed feature length film about his father, George Stevens: A Filmmaker’s Journey and in 1994 produced George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin, which depicted the wartime experiences of his father – one of the most highly regarded directors of all time. In collaboration with his son and partner Michael Stevens, he produced the feature length documentary Herblock – The Black & The White on the famed political cartoonist Herbert Block for HBO.
Stevens made his debut as a playwright in 2008 with Thurgood, which opened at the historic Booth Theater on Broadway. The play had an extended run starring Laurence Fishburne as Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Fishburne received a Tony nomination and returned to the role in the summer of 2010 with runs at the Kennedy Center and the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. Thurgood was filmed while at the Kennedy Center and shown on HBO in 2011.
In 2006, Alfred A. Knopf published Stevens’ Conversations with the Great Moviemakers of Hollywood’s Golden Age – the first book to bring together the interviews of master movie makers from the American Film Institute’s renowned Harold Lloyd Master Seminar Series.
Conversations with the Great Moviemakers – The Next Generation was released by Knopf in April 2012.

Christopher K. Slaton, EdD - Education and Science: The Brain's Body - Help to Improve Brain, Body, and Sense Events. This is episode 584 of Teaching Learning Leading K12., an audio podcast.
Christopher K. Slaton, Ed.D., developed the Progressive Investing Institute of Focused Learning in 2000 to study child development through the application of action research, systems thinking, and human science.
The applied use of action research with children and parents in crisis led to human systems research, as the study of self, other people, and the environment. The applied use of systems thinking led to human systems science, as the study of brain, body, and sense events. Hence, the applied use of human science led to the study of human, cognitive, and behavior sciences. As a practitioner of human systems science, his interest has always been focused on the study of human contact, human cognition, and human behavior.
Dr. Slaton has used education to become more informed about the brain and science to discipline the body as a human systems scientist with more than 25 years of studying brain, body, and sense events. Hence, learning how to inform the brain and discipline the body is a personal practice of education and science. This is why; Human Systems Science represents a fundamental change in the way brain, body, and sense events are viewed in terms of the Brain’s Body. The brain is the body. The body is not the brain. The Brain’s Body is the inner/outer sense of self in the study of sense and receive path functions; brain, body, sense events; energy, action, and feelings; and physical, emotional, and mental acts or behaviors.
Our focus today will be Christopher’s book - Education and Science: The Brain’s Body - Help to Improve Brain, Body, and Sense Events.
So much to learn.

Kathy Joseph talks with me about her book The Lightning Tamers: Trues Stories of the Dreamers and Schemers Who Harnessed Electricity and Transformed Our World. This is episode 579 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Kathy Joseph splits her time between writing her next book, making documentary videos based on her books for her YouTube channel, and giving talks about the history of science and the importance of context for learning science.
Kathy attributes her novel’s depth and breadth partially to her YouTube channel, Kathy Loves Physics. She uses her channel to test out her ideas in documentary form and learn from her brilliant viewers, making this book an interactive experience. Despite her simple video format, Kathy has hit a nerve, and her channel has over six million views and over 98,000 subscribers. Kathy also puts all of her scripts on her website and dives into other fascinating scientific topics on her blog, spanning a broad range of topics like the history of the Nobel Prize, the birth of wireless, and the early history of quantum mechanics.
Kathy has earned four higher education degrees in physics, engineering, and science education, but she feels as if her real education came from spending 12 years as a public high school physics teacher. She is an alumnus of the University of Chicago, Penn State, and the University of Utah.
Kathy lives near San Francisco with her fabulous husband, Mike, her amazing children, Alicia and Alex, and one very cranky cat aptly named Brutus.

Our focus today will be on Kathy’s book - The Lightning Tamers: True Stories of the Dreamers and Schemers Who Harnessed Electricity and Transformed Our World

Dr. Frederick Buskey: Strategic Leadership Consulting, LLC, Assistant Principals, and The Assistant Principal Podcast. This is episode 577 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Dr Frederick Buskey is the founder and lead consultant of Strategic Leadership Consulting, LLC.
His mission is to help busy leaders learn to act strategically each day. He notes, “One of the big ironies of leadership is that while we look to leaders for vision and inspiration, most are too busy managing day-to-day operations to actually move the organization towards the vision.” After observing the same situation with leaders in organizations across multiple industries, he decided to tackle this issue head on and, in July 2018, founded Strategic Leadership Consulting, LLC.
Dr. Buskey has been a teacher, coach, and change agent for over 30 years. Most recently, he invested 13 years developing and coordinating training programs for aspiring school leaders at Clemson University (2013-2019) and Western Carolina University (2006-2013). At both schools, he led innovative redesigns of old programs.
He has written extensively on leadership development, ethics, and the dark side of leadership, in both scholarly and practitioner journals.
His current work focuses on combining what research tells us about leading organizations with the realities faced by real people in real organizations.
He also is the host of The Assistant Principal Podcast
Frederick has a unique blend of scholarly training (EdD in Organizational Leadership from Bowling Green State University), athletic coaching, P-12 teaching and administration (17 years), and public and private sector leadership development (20+ years). His experience over the years has provided him with multiple perspectives and insight into the fundamental truths of leadership.

Ed Hajim shares his memoir On the Road Less Traveled: An Unlikely Journey from the Orphanage to the Boardroom. This is episode 558 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Ed Hajim, the son of a Syrian immigrant, is a seasoned Wall Street executive with more than 50 years of investment experience. He has held senior management positions with the Capital Group, E.F. Hutton, and Lehman Brothers before becoming chairman and CEO of Furman Selz. Hajim has been the co-chairman of ING Barings, Americas Region; chairman and CEO of ING Aeltus Group and ING Furman Selz Asset Management; and chairman and CEO of MLH Capital. He is now chairman of High Vista, a Boston-based money management company. In 2008, after 20 years as a trustee of the University of Rochester, Hajim began an eight-year tenure as chairman of the university’s board. Upon assuming that office he gave the school $30 million—the largest single donation in its history—to support scholarships and endow the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Through the Hajim Family Foundation, he has made generous donations to organizations that promote education, health care, arts, culture, and conservation. In 2015, he received the Horatio Alger Award, given to Americans who exemplify the values of initiative, leadership, and commitment to excellence and who have succeeded despite personal adversities.

Theresa Melito-Conners, PhD: Dr. MC's Self-Care Cabaret. This is episode 552 of my audio podcast Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Theresa Melito-Conners, PhD (Dr. MC) is the founder of Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret, a suite of theatre-inspired self-care and professional development services for helping professionals. The Self-Care Cabaret encompasses workshops, a podcast, and educational curricula — focused on accessible, realistic strategies that equip and empower.

Curious, Dr. MC pursued her PhD in educational leadership from Lesley University, homing in on self-care and renewal for helping professionals. In addition to her doctorate and published research, Theresa is a licensed K-12 counselor with a Master of Education in school counseling from Salem State University and a B.A. in theatre studies from Emerson College. Her true joy is bringing her scholarship, experience, and zest to audiences of all kinds nationwide.

Dan E. Hendrickson Shares His Adventure Novel - Brandy: Ballad of a Pirate Princess. This is episode 547 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Dan Hendrickson was born in Sheridan Wyoming in 1962 near the rustic Big Horn Mountain range to Carl and Helen Hendrickson. He went to school in the Sheridan School District graduating from Sheridan High School in 1981.
He was an avid participant in boxing, martial arts, wrestling, and track. His father owned a small eight lane bowling alley that he ran until Dan was 12 years old. Carl also had a master’s degree in English and loved to write poetry and plays. Dan picked up on his father’s love for the written word and enrolled in Casper Community College in 1982 majoring in journalism.
Although he found that he had an aptitude for investigative reporting, he decided that his interests were in other areas. He went on to do much volunteer Christian ministry work throughout the United States most of his adult life and continues to pursue those endeavors to this day.
During that time, he gained another degree in Practical Theology. Throughout his many ministry assignments, he also worked several secular jobs. Some of his work experience includes law enforcement, security, emergency medical technician, and firefighting. He also helped run a Martial Arts School where he was a senior instructor. Most notable of his work experience is his auto detailing endeavors.
He and his wife, Cheryl, have owned three different auto detailing businesses throughout the country, the last of which they still run to this day.
This is my second visit with Dan…on episode 507 we talked about his novel - The Living Legend: A Last Enemy Prequel.
Today we are talking about his adventure - Brandy - Ballad of a Pirate Princess.

Kathy J. Forti, PhD shares her sci-fi novels - Stacks: The Library of Truth & Stacks: Awakening Truth. This is episode 545 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Kathy Forti, Ph.D. is the author of the newly released Truth Book Series: STACKS Library of Truth and STACKS Awakening Truth, a sci-fi thriller which takes place in Washington, D.C.’s Library of Congress, where a library employee accidentally opens up an interdimensional portal into a library within a library, where all truth is stored.
Prior to penning her novels, she was a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. Her knowledge of psychopathology adds unusual character depth to her stories.
As a direct result of her own near-death experience in 2003, where her heart stopped, Forti became more creative. This led to the development and patent of the Trinfinity8 and Ascension11 Energetic software technology, now used by holistic healing practitioners worldwide.
With a degree in journalism, she worked for several years as an associate producer for CBS-TV. She also wrote a TV pilot script for STACKS that won a Slamdance Teleplay Award. She launched, with the help of Pacific Rock Productions, which was led by an Emmy-winning producer, an original 11-part web series called STACKS The Truth Can Kill You.
She has authored a non-fiction book as well: Fractals of God: A Psychologist’s Near-Death Experience & Journeys Into the Mystical, and a children’s book series: Freddie Brenner’s Mystical Adventures.
Forti is a blogger and was a keynote speaker for NEXUS Magazine in Australia in 2010 and 2015. She addresses subjects related to health, consciousness, spirituality and the weird and wonderful. For years, she has been leading ancient mystery school groups to Egypt, having explored the water tunnels under the Great Pyramid, as well as closed-off tunnels under the Sphinx. Sometimes referred to as “a female Indiana Jones” after finding alien artifacts in Mexico, she is, at heart, an ancient explorer of the origins of humanity.
Born in Chicago, Kathy has called many cities her home, including New York City, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Kansas, and Prescott, Arizona. She currently resides in Maui, Hawaii. For more information, please consult: https://stackslibraryoftruth.com/

Dr. Judith Peck talks about art, the world of art, and her novel: Naked Under the Lights. This is episode 528 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Dr. Judith Peck is Professor Emerita of Art, Ramapo College of New Jersey. She is author of several fiction and non-fiction works and a sculptor with work in eighty collections, including the Yale Gallery of Art, the Ghetto Fighters Museum in Israel, libraries, universities, and cultural and religious institutions here and abroad.
Dr. Peck holds a doctoral degree from New York University and two master's degrees from Columbia University. She is recipient of the 2020 Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award and has completed the first draft of a 4th novel about an art therapist who helps solve a school shooting.
Judith grew up in Baltimore Maryland. She has four grown children and twelve grandchildren and resides in Mahwah, New Jersey.
Images and videos of her sculpture can be viewed at www.jpecksculpture.com. Descriptions of her books can be seen at www.iapbooks.com
Our focus today is on her novel … Naked Under the Lights
The story is set in and around the iconic Art Students League in New York City where 20th Century stars of the art world studied and taught. Here, Bert Kossoff teaches painting when he is not cloistered in his studio. His wife Ruth defends her husband’s distance and tolerates his infidelities for the sake of their daughter. Sonata at age 18, lacking purpose of her own, is drawn to the mystique of her father in his world of artists and models. In the struggle to find her way, Sonata encounters family secrets long concealed and later, one that tears open their lives, exposing the lies that have misled them, even as they sustained them.
As each member of this shattered family finds a path to move forward, art itself—the urgency to create—is revealed as a force of its own. The terrain is confounding, where people searching for truth have learned to practice the art of illusion.
Amazing conversation!

Dr. Quintin Shepherd: The Secret to Transformational Leadership. This is episode 526 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Dr. Quintin Shepherd, a true visionary for the future of education, is the Superintendent at Victoria Independent School District in Victoria, Texas.
Sarah Williamson of SWPR Group works with leaders in education to create thoughtful public relations programs that promote growth, build momentum, and enhance learners’ academic success and overall well-being.
Today, we are focused on their book - The Secret to Transformational Leadership
Even with the deluge of leadership books on the market, a superintendent of a large school district and his colleague, the head of a prominent PR firm, still struggled to find a book that spoke to them about what they needed to become really successful leaders. So they wrote one themselves.
Dr. Quintin Shepherd and co-writer Sarah Williamson use their combined decades of experience in the education and corporate spheres to create a unique model for leadership that is anchored by compassion and a powerful new language.
The Secret to Transformational Leadership presents the personal journeys of such professionals as a pediatric cancer specialist, a president of an innovative nonprofit, and a former investment banker who became an online entrepreneur. The authors use their experiences to illustrate how we are at a precipice for real change in the way we perceive and enact leadership.
This book offers practical advice about how to make a transition into compassionate leadership through adopting a new language of leadership—one that Quintin shows can teach us how to lead from the middle. And if the way we approach leadership can help others think differently, ultimately we can create a ripple effect of empathy, compassion, kindness, and a sense of purpose for our life’s work.

Eileen J. Donovan: A Lady Newspaperman's Dilemma. This is episode 515 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Today I am talking with Eileen J. Donovan.
Although born in New York City, where she spent most of her life, she has lived in six states and has visited most of the others. She earned her MA in English at Northern Arizona University. In one way or another, she has been writing her entire life, whether it was imaginative stories for her friends, or advertising copy for industrial clients.
She never felt her stories were “good enough” to be published. At the persistent urging of her late husband, she finally agreed to seriously edit and revise one of them and take the plunge. Although accepted for publication, the book never made it all the way to print. However, she had the courage to pursue her dream of becoming a published author.
Years later, her persistence paid off. Her traditionally published debut historical novel, Promises, won the 2019 Marie M Irvine Award for Literary Excellence. Her historical fiction, A Lady Newspaperman's Dilemma presently with Woodhall Press and released in September 2022, won the 2021 When Words Count nationwide competition. She's also had short stories published in various anthologies. Her non-fiction essay appeared in the 2021 Chicken Soup for the Soul Blessing of Christmas.
She lives in Manhattan, New York and is a member of Authors Guild, SCBWI, Women’s National Book Association, and The Historical Novel Society.
Today we will be focused on writing and her recently released book - A Lady Newspaperman’s Dilemma …

Richard Owens & Anthony Cook: How can we make the college prep process more equitable? This is episode 514 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Today I’m talking with Anthony Cook and Richard Owens:
Anthony is currently the Coordinator of College and Career Counseling at Osceola County School District in Kissimmee Florida. The National College Attainment Network (NCAN) recently named Cook one of 15 College and Career Readiness Fellows across the United States and the sole Fellow from Florida. Cook earned a Master of Science (M.S.) focused in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling from Stetson University.
Richard Owens, The Managing Director of Programs at Tarrant To & Through Partnership (T3 Partnership), began his career in the classroom teaching fifth-grade math and science, and later joined Teach for America in a variety of roles.
As a senior managing director for Teach for America he built a community of more than 600 equity-driven corps members and alumni. With a focus on the power of diversity, Richard increased team composition from 25 to 45 percent people of color with varied backgrounds and experiences. He also designed and led staff learning experiences focused on the integration of personal values, cultivated relationships with key stakeholders and fostered an organizational culture that contributed to a 20 percent increase in teacher satisfaction.
Most recently, Richard served as a District Support Consultant at the Holdsworth Center. In this role, he supported two North Texas districts is assessing and revamping their district wide talent development systems and practices.
Richard earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Georgia. He is a graduate of the Cobb County School District in Marietta, Georgia.
Our Focus is…
How can we make the college prep process equitable? With the average school counselor ratio in public high schools 400 students to 1 counselor, it is difficult for school counselors to devote attention to each student and their needs.
Therefore, many families spend thousands of dollars hiring outside college prep counselors to assist their children. What about the families that can’t afford outside college prep? How can we create equity in the college application process?
So much to learn! Cool conversation!

Barbara R. Blackburn, named a Top 30 Global Guru in Education, has dedicated her life to raising the level of rigor and motivation for professional educators and students alike. What differentiates Barbara’s over 30 books are her easily executable concrete examples based on decades of experience as a teacher, professor and consultant.
Barbara’s dedication to education was inspired in her early years by her parents. Her father’s doctorate and lifetime career as a professor taught her the importance of professional training. Her mother’s career as a school secretary shaped Barbara’s appreciation of the effort all staff play in the education of every student.
Barbara has taught early childhood, elementary, middle and high school students and has served as an educational consultant for three publishing companies. She holds a master’s degree in school administration and was certified as a teacher and school principal in North Carolina.
She received her PhD in Curriculum and Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In 2006, she received the award for Outstanding Junior Professor at Winthrop University. She left her position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to write and speak full time.
In addition to speaking at state, national and international conferences, she regularly presents workshops for teachers and administrators in elementary, middle and high schools. Her workshops are lively and engaging and filled with practical information. Her most popular seminars include:
Rigor Is NOT a Four-Letter Word
Rigorous Schools and Classrooms: Leading the Way
Rigorous Assessments
Differentiating Instruction Without Lessening Rigor in Your Classroom
Motivation + Engagement + Rigor = Student Success
Rigor for Students With Special Needs
Motivating Struggling Students
Rigor in the Remote Learning Classroom

Walter Stephen Geeding shares his award winning novel - Endless Times - Volume One: The Path of Kokopelli. This is episode 511 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Walter Stephen Geeding, ever since he ran away from home as a teen-ager to gallivant across North America with his best friend, has always been a curious man of adventure who has lived his life as wildly as the characters in his books.
In fact, it is hard to separate Walter from the exploits his characters unveil on the pages of his books.
At age 17, Walter was a hippie who traveled all over the nation and Canada in an old convertible. He did odd jobs – YMCA instructor, painted water towers, built homes, photo lab technician – and got himself into all kinds of brushes with the law. He even shot himself – twice – accidentally.
Eventually he turned his life around, and at age 38 earned a BA in English from Missouri Southern State University. In 1996 he earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Tulsa.
He became a prosecutor for McDonald County, Missouri, for eight years. Then he switched sides and spent 15 years as a defense attorney, owning and operating his law practice that specialized in criminal and civil law.
He was a bar president of the 40 th Judicial Circuit. He is a born storyteller and bullshitter extraordinaire. For nearly five years he wrote poetry for the Neosho Weekly. Walter has an interesting family lineage. His grandfather was a city marshal and a lead miner. His dad worked for the FBI.
His published books include the Endless Times series (Volume One: The Path of Kokopelli; Volume Two: Murphy Diggins); Colony trilogy (Book One: The End; Book Two: Narrations of Nui; Book Three: The Beginning); Even The Mice Get Fat (a collection of Christmas poems); and Pictures of Life; Rhyming Mind Pictures (poetic observations).
Walter is a rugged outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and archery. He has two children, two step-children, many ex-wives, and 14 grandchildren. For more information, please consult: www.walterstephengeeding.com.
Today we are focused on Stephen’s writing and his award winning book Endless Times -Volume One: The Path of Kokopelli

Gisela Bengfort shares her children's book series: Wolfy's Adventure. This is episode 510 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Gisela Bengfort-Piatti frequently tells stories to her kids and grandkids about animals, empathy, making decisions, and unlimited possibilities. Camryn, one of her grandkids, inspired her to write down some of these family stories and true events from her past to the present.
Her children’s book series covers topics of trust, friendship, fortitude, overcoming challenges, resilience, and love. The stories show that it takes courage to live life fully, that we can’t always win but to not try guarantees a loss, that every failure makes us grow bigger, and that nothing is static for long.
Gisela loves the outdoors and all animals. You can find her on many Bay Area trails, sharing her laughter with family and friends.
She was born in Switzerland, where she met the love of her life, Joe Bengfort, in 1997. Six months later, they got married in the USA, and she moved with her two kids, Patrick and Selina, from Switzerland to the USA. They became a patchwork family as Joe also had two kids, Lindsey and Joseph.
Prior to writing children’s books full-time and raising a family, she was a successful business woman. She served as the executive director of San Jose State University for the College Alumni of Business. She also created her own salad-dressing, Gigi’s Gourmet Salad Dressing, developed in a food laboratory and distributed to Texas retailers.
In Switzerland, she was a sales representative for Christian Dior, worked for Accenture (Anderson Consulting) and was a sales representative for an international pharmaceutical company, Berton Dickinson.
She resides in Mill Valley, California and continues to share stories with her six grandchildren..
Today we will be focused on Gisela’s books - Wolfy’s Adventure: An Unlikely Friendship and Wolfy’s Adventure: Away from Home.

Dr. Jamie Weiner - The Quest for Legitimacy: How Children of Prominent Families Discover Their Unique Place in the World. This is episode 509 of the audio podcast Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Jamie Weiner is a psychologist and co-founder of Inheriting Wisdom, a consultancy for high-net-worth families. Jamie works on all the problems that exist behind the money. Co-founder of Inheriting Wisdom with his wife, Dr. Carolyn Friend, he excels in activating families to become high performance families.
Dr. Weiner is the co-author of The Legacy Conversation, a book designed to encourage families to have meaningful dialogues about the impact of money and the importance of intentionality for families of means. He has authored numerous articles and speaks frequently.
Intrigued with the experiences of rising-gen family members, Jamie initiated an ongoing qualitative research study called “The Land of the Giants”. The purpose of the study is to understand what it is like growing up in the shadows of other’s successes.
Dr. Weiner’s experience as a clinical psychologist lends unique insights to his understanding of the complex dynamics existing in families, businesses, and not-for-profits. His expertise with leveraging the human capital that lies in multi-generational, affluent families extends into the family office and business space where a family’s needs and “their business” are often linked and complicated. Drawing on previous experiences developing programs for Cook County Jail and Mother’s Against Drunk Driving has given him insight into a broad range of human struggles.
Jamie is a Fellow of the Family Firm Institute (FFI), He has served on the FFI global board and chaired the editorial board of the FFI Practitioner, an online publication providing comprehensive news, analysis, trends, and research intelligence affecting the family enterprise provider community.

Dan Hendrickson was born in Sheridan Wyoming in 1962 near the rustic Big Horn mountain range to Carl and Helen Hendrickson. He went to school in the Sheridan School District graduating from Sheridan High School in 1981.
He was an avid participant in boxing, martial arts, wrestling, and track. His father owned a small eight lane bowling alley that he ran until Dan was 12 years old. Carl also had a master’s degree in English and loved to write poetry and plays. Dan picked up on his father’s love for the written word and enrolled in Casper Community College in 1982 majoring in journalism.
Although he found that he had an aptitude for investigative reporting, he decided that his interests were in other areas. He went on to do much volunteer Christian ministry work throughout the United States most of his adult life and continues to pursue those endeavors to this day.
During that time, he gained another degree in Practical Theology. Throughout his many ministry assignments, he also worked several secular jobs. Some of his work experience includes law enforcement, security, emergency medical technician, and firefighting. He also helped run a Martial Arts School where he was a senior instructor. Most notable of his work experience is his auto detailing endeavors.
He and his wife, Cheryl, have owned three different auto detailing businesses throughout the country, the last of which they still run to this day.
Today, we are focused on his latest novel - a prequel - The Living Legend: A Last Enemy Prequel
A little bit about The Living Legend: A Last Enemy Prequel…
Dan E. Hendrickson's new novel The Living Legend, shows a brilliance at creating tension and conflicts in the story. For those who enjoy action and adventure in a military setting, they will adore this book.
Deception, politics, corruption, bravery, love, integrity, determination, and lots of action are the key elements on The Living Legend, the latest in The Last Enemy series from Dan E. Hendrickson. This is his follow-up book to penning Brandy: Ballad of a Pirate Princess, which was named last year by Online Book Club as its Historical Fiction Book of the Year.
Set in the 1970s, on one side of the world, Tommy, a man seeking vengeance for his father’s murder; on the other side, Makena, a woman seeking to stop the slavery of her people. We’ll find out how their worlds collide in The Living Legend.
“My books tend to have a military/law enforcement flavor because they deal with issues like modern day human trafficking, organized crime, high-sea drug smuggling, historical piracy, and slave trading,” says Hendrickson. “This one takes place when the Navy SEAL program was launched and the mission is to go after a Russian assassin.”
This is an awesome read!

Monte Schulz discusses his novel Metropolis, writing techniques, reading other writers, and influences on his writing. This is episode 505 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Monte Schulz received his M.A. in American Studies from University of California, Santa Barbara. He published his first novel, Down by the River, in 1990, and spent the next twelve years writing a novel about the Jazz Age. Monte is endlessly curious and well versed in world history and theology. He is fascinated by the style and use of innovative language, and can be caught engaging in provocative, philosophical conversations about big, far-reaching, imaginative, ideas and worldly perspectives. His father is the late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. He lives in Santa Barbara, CA.
A little about Metropolis
Regency College senior Julian Brehm’s uneventful student life is derailed when he falls for Nina Rinaldi, a beautiful young revolutionary engaged in political activism against the authoritarian regime that rules the country and wages a deceitful, distracting war. Julian’s love for — and moral alliance to — Nina eventually leads him into a vast undercity beneath the metropolis. Then, east by train and into the war zone itself, where mortal danger in that expanding cemetery of millions threatens Julian’s life; what he witnesses will alter how he perceives the Republic and ultimately his fate within it.
Our focus today is on Monte, his writing, and his novel Metropolis…

As a native Pennsylvanian deeply involved in the pro-Israel community, the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh deeply affected him.

Prior to that, he served as a senior advisor to a United States senator for eight years. He also earlier had served as a grant writer at a Croatia-based NGO.
He is a columnist for The Times of Israel and has contributed articles to USA Today Network, Baltimore Jewish Times, The Morning Call, The Jerusalem Post, Washington Examiner, The Patriot News, Pittsburgh Tribune Review, NorthJersey.com, Modern Diplomacy, and The Jewish Exponent.
He earned a BA from The Department of American Studies from The George Washington University, and his MPA from Fels Institute of Government at University of Pennsylvania. Proficient in both modern and biblical Hebrew, he has formally studied the language and traditional Jewish texts since kindergarten and travels regularly to Israel. In total, Mittleman has visited over 40 countries. He is the founding board chairman of St. Bernard Project, a post-Katrina-Rita disaster recovery non-profit that was recognized as a CNN Hero of the Year.
A new father, Ari lives in Pikesville, Maryland, with his wife and daughter.
Today we are focused on his book Paths of the Righteous: Stories of Humanity, Heroism, and Hope.

Danielle Nuhfer - The Path of the Mindful Teacher: How to Choose Calm Over Chaos and Serenity Over Stress, One Step at a Time. This is episode 499 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Danielle Nuhfer is a teacher wellness coach (and a fellow teacher!) and she helps time-crunched teachers find time for self-care.
She works with teachers who love what they do (most of the time) but don’t love how they feel (some of the time): teachers who want to find balance in all areas of their lives without leaving a profession that they love.
Her specialty is supporting teachers in building their resilience by saying “NO” to what isn’t working and saying “YES” to the real and achievable possibility of balance both inside and outside of the classroom.
This is done without focusing on what’s wrong and instead focusing on what is, building on your unique lived experience, school situation, and personal needs.
She teaches you how to fill your own self-care and teacher wellness buckets through a variety of different tools and techniques through teacher wellness coaching while also holding space for the real conversations and considerations that arise when we begin integrating these tools into our lives.
Teacher wellness coaching is about learning how to prioritize and nourish yourself first and {un}learning the messaging that says self-care is selfish.
Danielle notes, “We are all at different stages of this teaching well journey, but together I know we can teach well together because #weareteachingwell.”
Today our focus is on Danielle's book The Path of the Mindful Teacher: How to Choose Calm Over Chaos and Serenity Over Stress, One Step at a Time.

Stephen Furlich shares his book Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life's Stages. This is Episode 498 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Dr. Stephen Furlich is the author of a breakthrough book, Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life’s Stages.
He has taught and researched communication at the university level for over 20 years. He has taught a variety of communication courses with the main focus of better understanding oneself and others. Often, his research projects and the courses that he taught, complemented each other and led into innovative directions.
Dr. Furlich has been an associate professor at Texas A & M University since 2018 and served as an assistant professor there for five years prior to that.
He has presented at many conferences, including: DFW Metroplex Linguistics Conference, Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education Conference, E-Learning Conference, National Communication Association Conference, Southern States Communication Association Conference, International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines, and International Conference of the American Pragmatics Association.
Dr. Furlich, who was recently interviewed by One America News Network, has been published in numerous journals, including: Texas Speech Communication Journal, Kentucky Journal of Communication, The Florida Communication Journal, Journal of Applied communication Research, Academic Exchange Quarterly, Journal of Integrated Social Sciences, and Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
His communication paradigm is from a receiver’s perspective. This places the emphasis on the listener to better understand from the speaker’s perspectives and as a speaker emphasizing understanding from the listener’s perspectives. Both of these become more challenging as differences increase between the speaker and listener.
Dr. Furlich has become fascinated with technological advancements in science that have enabled
a better understanding of communication. Without these scientific advances, understanding communication is quite limited. This line of research has inspired him to write this book to bring together many different scientific studies to better understand the role of biology with gender communication differences.
He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education, a Master of Arts in Communication Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Tech University. He resides in Commerce, Texas.

Kieran O'Mahony - The Brain-Based Classroom: Accessing Every Child's Potential Through Educational Neuroscience. This is episode 497 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
After a long career in education, Dr. Kieran O’Mahony consistently found himself questioning the status quo. While in the faculty room we spoke in forward-looking platitudes and used phrases like “equality of educational opportunity, but he realized that neither “equality” nor “opportunity” were associated with the education they were doling out.
He couldn’t help but wonder why our school systems were driving our children into bleak futures? So, he decided to spend his career seeking the solution to one of the biggest problems we face today: how can we give every student an equal opportunity to love learning?
That question led Kieran to develop the cognitive learning model taught in The Brain-Based Classroom and the Brain-Based Solutions training programs. Now, you can develop the same understanding of the brain, and use the same techniques we used, to get incredible results for your child, classroom, or school system.
Dr. Kieran O’Mahony is the Founding Principal of the Institute for Connecting Neuroscience with Teaching and Learning, USA, and author of the best-selling text The Brain-Based Classroom: Accessing Every Child’s Potential through Educational Neuroscience (Routledge, 2021).
Model schools anchored to my brain-based pedagogic framework are thriving in India, across Africa, and here in America. You can find out more about Kieran and The Brain-Based Classroom at www.brainbasedsolutions.org
Today, we are focused on Kieran's book - The Brain-Based Classroom: Accessing Every Child's Potential Through Educational Neuroscience.

N.L. Holmes talks about her latest in the Lord Hani series: Pilot Who Knows the Waters. This is episode 495 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
N.L. Holmes is a prolific novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career she served as a nun for two decades. In between she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today.
Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Studies from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in N.J. and University of South Florida for many years. She also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon.
With seven published novels, Holmes is the creator of The Lord Hani Mysteries. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!”
She also penned The Empire At Twilight series, historical fiction set in the 13th century C.B. during the Hittite Empire.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology.
Holmes resides with her husband, three cats, and a dog. They split their time between Tampa, Florida and northern France, where she gardens, weaves, and plays the violin. They have an adult son.
Today we are focused on her latest book Pilot Who Knows the Waters.

Nicole Asherah - A Life Cycle: A Guide to Healing and Rediscovering Yourself. This is episode 494 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Nicole Asherah is an artist whose main mediums are poetry, film photography, and oil painting but she has a habit of dabbling in whatever sparks her creative juices. Switching between mediums of expression, Nicole tries to connect readers to intimate moments, feelings, and relationships experienced throughout life. She wants to break your heart with the raw emotion that her pieces evoke. She hopes you find joy in that heartbreak as she always does!
Nicole has unique background of being raised by a psychologist, backpacking around more than 15 countries by herself, attending Roehampton University’s Creative Writing Poetry MFA, volunteering with SURJ and other grassroots organizations that have all synthesized to give her broad understanding of peoples individual struggles and how to capture them in art.
Nicole loves to hear feedback and reactions so please feel free to comment or contact her.
Today we will focus on her book -
A Life Cycle: A Guide to Healing and Rediscovering Yourself.
A Life Cycle, Nicole Asherah’s debut book, follows the introspective process of transformation after emotional hardship through poetic language. Asherah serves as a guide through the sections of her book while also allowing the readers to see the words as their own. A Life Cycle is broken into sections after a traumatic event that represents the final tipping point. What follows is The Shattering: a deep dive into the suffering of fully losing one’s sense of self and safety, The Healing: a journey through processing layers of trauma to reach the root hurts of childhood, Light Shines Through: an exploration of reigniting hope and learning to find joy, and The Loving: a discovery of what love is and how the act of loving has much more to do with one’s self than the person receiving the love.
This book transcends the genre of poetry because of its ability to universally help people process and name feelings that often elude words. This book is for anyone developing, hurting, healing, or becoming new versions of themselves. She knows this because that is exactly what she was doing when she wrote it: healing childhood trauma, processing a sexual assault, and learning how to experience joy.
Great conversation!

Irmgarde Brown talks about her novel: Sister Jane. This is episode 492 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Irmgarde Brown knows a good book when she sees one. For 28 years she had stacked shelves as a librarian. She also recognizes a good theatrical story, having written, produced, and acted in a one-woman play that toured for two years.
Now she has broken into book publishing with a character-driven, plot-twisting novel that examines how society reacts to people who make major life changes and discover their true talents later in life. It also explores whether we really believe in miracles or if social media, the government, community, and the news media would distort whatever the truth really is.
A little bit about her book Sister Jane…
All her life, Jane believes she is small-town ordinary. . . until she isn't. Some people brand her a witch, while others believe she has a demon. Her family thinks she's ready for the nursing home, and a down-and-out news reporter assumes she's a fake. But nobody, including Jane, can figure out how she does it: heal the sick. All the sick. All the time. Is it a gift of God? The Church is divided. Then, everything erupts when the foreigners arrive along with members of the government and the scientists. Will Jane become a pawn or save herself?
Great read! great talk!

Forced to flee, Gray searches out a remote trout fishing farm in the foothills of the North Cascades that seems to be the perfect hideout. But his identity is not the farm's only secret. Traumatized by the loss of her mother to cancer, a young blind woman believes the mysterious stranger is the man her mother promised would one day come. Her infatuation, however, arouses the desires of her older married sister.
Tensions escalate when a tragedy occurs, raising the possibility of the farm's imminent sale and rekindling the cartel's relentless determination to discover Gray's whereabouts.

Rev. Dr. Gordon Postill - Called: A Longshot's Story. This is episode 487 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Rev. Dr. Gordon Postill is an author and retired minister who has helped thousands of people.
He was ordained by the United Church of Canada in May 1980 and served congregations in Nova Scotia and Ontario before spending the last 24 years of his ministry providing spiritual care to hospice patients and their families in FL and MA. He retired in 2015 to care for his beloved, now late wife Robin who had become afflicted with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
Postill holds a Bachelor of Arts from Laurentian University, Sudbury, a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel College, Toronto, and a Doctor of Ministry from Boston University.
With his advanced clinical training, he became Board Certified by the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC) and served four years as the APC State Representative of Massachusetts. He has extensive expertise in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and end-of-life health care ethics.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he led a CISM team from Naples, Florida to New York City to provide support for NYPD personnel. He also served a decade as the Ethics Committee Chair of the Hospice & Palliative Care Federation of Massachusetts and offered end-of-life ethics workshops throughout MA.
Prior to becoming an ordained minister, Postill’s life felt meaningless and he aimlessly drifted from such jobs as nickel miner and security guard. A college dropout in his 20’s, he battled addictions to alcohol and Valium, frequently took LSD and smoked marijuana, and had two run-ins with the law before an astonishing call to the ministry and the bountiful blessings which quickly followed gave him a desperately-needed second chance and saved his life.
Rev. Dr. Gordon Postill resides in Boston, Massachusetts.
Today, we are focused on his book - Called! A Longshot’s Story.
So much to learn.

By the age of 28, Donna Rhodes was divorced three times and raising four kids in poverty. A high school dropout with a dark past and a cloudy future, she found her way through a life of suffering and challenges. This memoir is the story of an extraordinary woman, one who battled so many setbacks, from growing up in an abusive foster care household to surviving cancer, and from suffering a series of abusive relationships to being under the control of a cult. It is the poignant life story of a woman's desperate journey to find love. Inspired by the biblical account of the woman at the well, this book is a remarkable testament to God's faithfulness and the power of His redemption. For those who think their lives will never change and those who are afraid to hope again, this moving testimony is transformative. It’s a story of hope and perseverance.
Donna Rhodes is a trained speaker, published author, and a certified Life Coach and Personality Trainer. She has also written for newspapers, magazines, websites, and for story compilation books.
Today we are focused on her memoir How The Woman At The Well Became The Well Woman.
Donna has been happily married for the past 36 years to Denver. Together they have eight children, 14 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Her passion is sharing hope for the hopeless; even if they have to borrow hope from her story, until they find their own. Her happy places are her family, traveling, gourmet cooking, and playing with her dog, Penny.
She resides in Easley, South Carolina. For more information, kindly consult: www.onewellwoman.com

Dr. Susie Wise - Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Community. This is episode 485 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Dr. Susie Wise is the founder and former director of the K12 Lab at the Stanford University d.school--also known as the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design and co-created Liberatory Design.
Dr. Wise is a design leader with experience in the education, tech, and the social sectors. She coaches leaders in equity design and innovation practices. She teaches at the d.school at Stanford and coaches with the Mira Fellowship.
Susie coaches school leaders across the country to address their diversity, equity and inclusion issues. The tools that are being used to create change in schools can be applied to any organization.
Why does a sense of belonging matter? Because if we feel like an outsider it affects our school or work performance, and ultimately our physical and mental health. It can also lead to more dramatic consequences like a person becoming vulnerable to foreign and domestic terrorist recruitment tactics.
Today we are focused on her book - Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Communities.

John Willis: Sibme - Training From the Ground Up, Not From the Top Down. This is episode 484 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
John Willis is a veteran educator turned virtual coach. He has been in the education industry for 27-years. John served as a high school teacher for 17 years before becoming a district coach, then coordinator. Now, John is a consultant and master coach for Sibme, a professional learning and coaching platform.
As a learning and organizational development professional, John helps leaders and teams increase their ability to capture a more comprehensive view of what is happening in the organization and facilitate strategic interventions to move the organization forward. Through analysis of stakeholder competencies and context as well as organizational culture and conditions, John takes an integrative and collaborative approach to partner with organizational leaders to build capacity throughout the system.
A little about Sibme…
Sibme was founded by teachers who understand learning and know that most employee training doesn’t apply the basic principles of learning design. We were tired of sit and get workshops, irrelevant performance reviews, and outsiders that just told people what to do and left.
That’s why we’ve built Sibme’s software to be people focused and employee powered. We believe training should happen from the ground up, not from the top down.
Sibme’s focus for service, training, consulting, and success teams: empowering you to drive your own success.
So much to learn!

Clayvon C. Harris talks with us about her book SUB - Inside the Notorious School District of Philadelphia. This is episode 483 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Writer and advocate for fair and equal education, Clayvon C. Harris earned an MFA in Cinema-TV/Screenwriting from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts and a BA in English literature from Swarthmore College where students are taught they have the ability to change the world.

Clayvon left a career of writing for television behind and returned to Philadelphia where she planned to pursue a career in teaching.

Frances Valintine - Founder & CEO of the MindLab and the Tech Futures Lab - Impact of Emerging Technologies and Embracing Change. This is episode 478 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Frances Valintine
Founder and CEO of The Mind Lab and Tech Futures Lab
A well regarded and recognised technologist and educator, Frances has been focused on the future of work and the development of human capability for the duration of her career. She has a life mission to uncover the potential in anyone she meets - if you have a conversation with Frances you’ll come away buzzing with inspiration, confidence and optimism for what lies ahead.
Every day, no matter whether it's a keynote speech to corporate, government, education or social impact audiences; designing new future focused learning programmes; advising the boards and not-for-profit organizations she’s involved with; or supporting staff around Aotearoa New Zealand, Frances is always thinking about how to create impact. Not for herself but to enable others to find it in themselves. Her door is always open and there’s nothing more that she loves than to have a good natter about life, kids, culture and whatever else comes up.
In recent years, Frances has built up The Mind Lab (started in 2013) and Tech Futures Lab (2016) to provide learning pathways for educators and professionals to not just participate in but have sustainable impact for the technologically driven future. Everything she does is about supporting people, businesses and organizations to understand the impact of emerging technologies and the cultural adaptation required to embrace change and build that impact.
Frances sets the tone for the two organizations - one of lifelong learning, openness, awareness and inclusion. She has a passionate belief that a flexible mind that fosters an ability to learn, unlearn and relearn is crucial as new information, improved data and more advanced science and technology shapes our understanding of the world around us.
Aside from her business acumen, she is also a naturally talented creative. The HQ for The Mind Lab and Tech Futures Lab is a great example of what is going on in Frances’ mind in between the more serious conversations and tasks.
Frances earned a Master of Education Management at the University of Melbourne and completed the Executive Program at Singularity University.
Frances has been recognized as the New Zealand Companion of the Order of Merit for services in Education & Technology CNZM. She is a New Zealand Member of the High Tech Hall of Fame & 14th Recipient of the New Zealand Flying Kiwi Award, Recipient of the Peter Blake Leadership Award, Recipient of the CIO Award for Outstanding Contribution to Technology & Business, Winner of the Women of Influence Award for Innovation, and Winner of Woman of the Year for Education.

Elizabeth B. Splaine, author, shares her World War II historical fiction novel: Swan Song. This is episode 461 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Elizabeth B. Splaine is a retired opera singer who enjoys reading and writing WWII stories that focus on tenacity, hope and the indomitable human spirit.
Prior to writing, Elizabeth earned an AB in Psychology from Duke University and an MHA from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
She spent eleven years working in health care before switching careers to become a professional opera singer and voice teacher. When not writing, Elizabeth teaches classical voice in Rhode Island, where she lives with her husband, sons, and dogs
Today we are focused on her novel Swan Song.
A little about Swan Song...
Ursula Becker’s operatic star is on the rise in Nazi Berlin…until she discovers that she is one-quarter Jewish, a mischling of the second degree. Although Hitler is aware of her lineage, her popularity and exquisite voice protect her and her family from persecution. As Ursula’s violin-prodigy half-sister comes of age, she comes to the attention of the Führer, who welcomes the awestruck teenager into his elite, private circle. When William Patrick Hitler arrives in Germany and is offered employment by his doting Uncle Adolf, a chance encounter with Ursula leads to a romantic relationship that further shields the young diva from mistreatment. But for how long? Restrictions on Hitler’s perceived enemies tighten, and Ursula is ordered to sing at Hitler’s Berghof estate. There she throws down a gauntlet that unleashes the wrath of the vindictive megalomaniacal leader. Fearing for her life, Ursula and Willy decide to emigrate to England. But as the ship is about to sail, Ursula disappears. Desperately hoping that Ursula is still alive, Willy crosses the globe in an effort to find her, even as his obsessive uncle taunts him, relishing in the horror of the murderous cat-and-mouse game.

Matt Fitzpatrick, author, talks about his newest thriller - Demon Tide. This is episode 457 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Matt is a former investment management professional who jettisoned Wall Street to pursue his dream as a novelist. He is the proud father of two daughters and enjoys every minute of watching them thrive and excel. A licensed Coast Guard captain, Matt cherishes life by the ocean and time boating on Nantucket Sound. With a deep media background mostly steeped in radio and print, he considers it a gift to be able to tell his stories and share his life experiences through the eyes of his protagonist, Justin McGee. Matt lives on Cape Cod. For more information visit him at mattfitzpatrickbooks.com
Matt is the author of The Justin McGee Trilogy.
Today we are focused on part 3 - Demon Tide…
A little about Demon Tide... This is a community that has lost its innocence. A quaint New England town that meets the growing opioid epidemic head-on. The town’s casualties build up as local law enforcement, as well as out-of-towners in the form of Justin McGee and his “family,” realize that it’s a crime that stems within the community’s own. A town whose roots are the source of pride are shattered knowing they have been infiltrated by the New England Nova Scotia drug trade.

Asia Klekowicz and Ryan York - The Gathering Place: An Elementary School With a Focus on Project-Based Learning, the Arts, and Helping Underserved Neighborhoods. This is episode 452 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
The Gathering Place is the first and only restorative campus founded and based in San Antonio, Texas. Conceptualized by co-founders Asia Klekowicz and Ryan York, The Gathering Place’s education model is rooted in social justice and project-based learning and was inspired by Klekowicz and York’s beliefs that kids, especially in historically underserved neighborhoods, don't get a complete education. The pair spent 10 years teaching, leading, and seeing glimmers of what could be when teachers are trusted, kids are loved for who they are, and administrators don’t measure students by test scores. The Gathering Place opened in 2020 and currently serves Kindergarten to Third Grade, with plans to add a new grade level annually through the Twelfth Grade.
Asia Klekowicz (M. Ed) joined the movement for educational equity after witnessing the injustice of the school-to-prison pipeline while tutoring inmates in Boston. She joined Teach for America-Memphis and led her students to achieve 2.5years of growth, ranking in the highest percentiles across the state. She transitioned to developing high school math teachers across Chicago where she was the only coach in her organization to be recognized for excellence by every teacher in her cohort. She later ventured into the financial sector where she worked as an investment consultant managing a $536 million book and became the fastest promoted employee in the region.
Ryan York’s (M. Ed) career started by co-founding a nonprofit that served hundreds of children each year through its flagship program “Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp'' and opening a 6,000sq. ft. after-school arts facility outside of Nashville. Transitioning into the classroom, he was awarded the district All Star teacher award and developed a blended learning software management platform that led to the highest math growth in the district by enrolled teachers. As principal, Ryan led a school turnaround that ended with the highest staff retention, math scores, and 5th grade reading growth in one of the top performing school systems in Tennessee. Ryan and Asia began working together when they teamed up with RePublic Schools to create a middle and high school computer science curriculum and teacher training program. After six months, Ryan was promoted to CIO and won the National Sally Ride & Deloitte Award for Innovation.

Luke Gherardi talks with me about his novella Children of Violence. This is episode 448 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Luke Gherardi is a writer of short stories. Children of Violence is his first novella. He writes what he knows, basing his fiction on real-life people and inspired by his observations or first-hand experience of actual events.
He is a fighter. And a survivor.
He overcame childhood cancer – lymphoma. That was the easy part. Being raised in dysfunction was not.
Growing up in a suburb of St. Louis, Luke lived with his mother, a church-going, God-fearing woman from The Philippines, who provided anything but a sane childhood. To the outside world, everything seemed normal in this nice farm community. But in reality, he says his mom’s practice of her faith was more like a cult, where militaristic brainwashing went on. He grew up with survivalists.
His parents were divorced when he was very young. He would visit his dad on the weekend in a crime-infested part of St. Louis, where the gang-ridden streets were filled with people who cared nothing about their lives and even less about yours. His dad was a bit of a hustler and gambler. He drank excessively, popped pills, and smoked marijuana. He lived in a condemned building and suffered from mental issues. He committed suicide a decade ago.
As soon as Luke turned 18 and graduated from high school, he left home and never looked back. He moved to Denver, where he knew no one and had nothing. He made a life for himself, met a woman, and got married. They had a child together. A few years later, they divorced. For the past decade, he has worked for North Park Transportation, beginning as a dock supervisor and working his way up to fleet safety manager. He earned his A.A.S. in Avionics Engineering from Colorado Aero Tech. He lives just outside of Denver and enjoys raising his daughter, age 7.

Jeanine Jannot, PhD - The Disintegrating Student: Struggling but Smart, Falling Apart, and How to Turn It Around. This is episode 447 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Dr. Jeannine Jannot (JUH-noh) has more than twenty-five years of experience working with children, teenagers, and young adults in both public and private school settings spanning preschool through college. She holds a master's degree in school psychology from The Ohio State University and a doctorate in child and developmental psychology from the University of Connecticut. Since 2010, she has been a college instructor teaching psychology courses and freshman seminars.
In 2014, Dr. Jannot founded The Balanced Student in response to the struggling students she encountered, both in her college classrooms and in her own home. As a mother of three, she has witnessed first-hand the challenges our children face, quickly becoming a familiar pattern of good students falling apart. As their grades decline and their work piles up, their anxiety spirals out of control and they become what she calls a disintegrating student.
Today, with escalating numbers of students failing their virtual classes during the pandemic, disintegrating students have become a nationwide crisis.
In her book THE DISINTEGRATING STUDENT: Struggling but Smart and Falling Apart… and How to Turn it Around, Dr. Jannot explains the phenomenon of the smart-turned-struggling student from the viewpoints of both the parent and the student. She provides an in-depth look at the four primary influences that can trigger a student to disintegrate. With a realistic and supportive voice, along with the latest research and short sidebars with real student experiences, Dr. Jannot gives parents timely, practical tips to get their kids motivated, confident, and inspired.

Amy Jussel - Digital Dogs Media Literacy Books - The Secret of the Vanishing Bones: Tracking the Data Trail. This is episode 440 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Amy Jussel, the founder of Shaping Youth, has authored a first of its kind children’s book series building on her national media literacy education expertise to embed digital savvy into K-5 storytelling.
With screen time doubled via online learning, now more than ever critical thinking skills specific to media and devices are a necessity to help kids navigate the ever-changing influences of the digital landscape. The first book in the series, “The Secret of the Vanishing Bones: Tracking the Data Trail” centers around data privacy as a playful pack of pups sleuth, sniff around and dig deeper into questions about media messages and the technology being used. Readers build core inquiry habits and develop digital detective skills while solving the mystery.
Unlike any other in the “kid lit” genre, each book embeds both digital and media literacy into the storyline, so kids develop the ability to detect, discern and reflect on the media coming their way, instilling healthy, habit-forming questioning of all content. Who made this and why? What does this want me to think about? Why does this site know what I like already? Through subtle, seamless storytelling kids pick up life skills and tech tips, raising awareness of media and influences online and off.
“I strongly feel media literacy should be taught in every classroom as early as kindergarten, but we can’t wait around for that legislation,” Jussel said, “…informal learning through stories, activities and hands-on fun gets us there faster. Whether it’s delivered by parents, educators, siblings or a read aloud group, kids need these inquiry skills, yesterday.”
Amy spent over 20+ years as a writer/producer in print, broadcast and film, (e.g. cable, travel documentaries for Reader’s Digest/Sunset Films, etc.) She began in television news writing for the ABC affiliate in Honolulu (KITV), wrote/produced a public affairs radio show at KCSB, Santa Barbara (Women’s Radio Forum), freelanced for international media magazines & print pubs (inc. Condé Nast’s Mademoiselle/guest editor program) and shifted into advertising to become an award-winning copywriter and creative director. She opened her own business, Copy/Concepts in 1984.
Amy Jussel was honored to represent the United States as one of the chosen delegates for Women Leaders for the World in 2007, through the Global Women’s Leadership Network, (GWLN.org) earn a coveted global semifinalist spot for the Echoing Green Fellowship in 2008, contribute as an author in the 3-book global collaboration Age of Conversation series to benefit Variety, The Children’s Charity, and a guest contribution to the new 2014 release Redefining Girly: How Parents Can Fight the Stereotyping and Sexualizing of Girlhood, from Birth to Tween.

Michael Pellico talks about telling stories, the importance of reading, and writing children's books. This is episode 437 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
One of eleven children, whose parents both worked long hours. It was his responsibility to help raise his siblings. Growing up “poor”, he entertained his siblings with imaginative stories; often made-up right on the spot. Now, Michael Pellico is telling these stories to his nephews and nieces.
His books and all of his stories are dedicated to Sabrina, his niece, who insists that he tell her a story each time they are together. Often the plot is about some object within her view. Creativity is paramount. Michael Pellico talks about telling stories, the importance of reading, and writing children's books. This is episode 437 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Moonbow Publishing was created by Michael Pellico, a successful writer and producer of films. He likes to publish quality children’s books that have adventure, comedy, excitement, and above all, lessons for life in a way that children will really enjoy.
Moonbow Publishing’s children’s books have several “levels” to the stories so they can be enjoyed by children and adults of all ages. They are an extension of the stories that the author and founder told his ten younger brothers and sisters and is now telling their children.

Chris Hull is the founder and Chief Product Officer of Otus, a Chicago-based Edtech company that centralizes work for educators, students and their families, eliminating the chaos of multiple systems. This is episode 435 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Chris grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and attended New Trier High School, where he poured most of his energy into playing basketball and other sports. He attended Denison University, where Chris continued to play basketball and became inspired by his professors to pursue teaching. In 2007, Chris became a full-time 7th Grade Social Studies teacher. As he taught, Chris grew frustrated with fractured Edtech systems, which took his focus away from helping students learn.
In 2010, he co-wrote a grant to bring one device to every student in the Social Studies department. On leap day in February of 2012, the idea for Otus was born.
Chris was nominated in 2016 for NSBA’s ‘20 to Watch' EdTech Leader, and has been showcased in the Chicago Tribune's Blue Sky Innovation series. He has presented at a variety of summits and conferences, including edSurge in St. Louis, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Miami, iPadpalooza, and more. In 2016 Otus was nominated for two Codie awards.
Chris Hull is a husband and a father of four. His children are 6,5, and he has 3-year old twin girls.
Today we are focused on understanding what Otus is and how it can help schools, students, and parents.

Frances Schoonmaker - The Last Crystal Trilogy, Writing Techniques, and Research Practices. This is episode 430 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
After teaching elementary school for a dozen years, Frances Schoonmaker directed the graduate elementary and middle school teacher education program at Teachers College, Columbia University for nearly twenty years, drawing heavily on children’s literature and storytelling. Publications for children include five books in the Sterling Poetry for Young People series and Growing Up Caring, Values And Decision-Making (Glencoe/Macmillan).
Frances draws on her background of growing up in rural Oklahoma to furnish vivid details of place and context. As a child she was fascinated by stories told by pioneer grandparents and exploring the remains of the dugout where her mother was born. In The Black Alabaster Box she makes room for both fact and fancy.
Schoonmaker has taught, lectured, and consulted internationally. She holds degrees from The University of Washington; George Peabody College, Vanderbilt University; and Teachers College, Columbia University. Upon retirement she was awarded the title of Professor Emerita. She resides in Baltimore, Maryland with her family.
The Last Crystal Trilogy is historical fantasy for middle grade/young adult readers and anyone who loves an adventure. A recipient of The Agatha Award, author Frances Schoonmaker, an educator of 25 years, shares insightful coming-of-age messages while she spins an amazing tale that helps young readers appreciate history when imagining other eras.
The multi-dimensional story spans 100 years and two world wars, starting on the Santa Fe Trail in 1856 and ending on the famous Santa Fe Chief train in 1946.
None of the children in the trilogy have ever heard of the Last Crystal or its life-giving water until they are drawn into a magical quest to save it. History comes to life as they face life-threatening circumstances and have to decide whether they will take action or cave into despair.
“A theme in this coming-of-age story is that there are some things only a child can do because children can imagine possibilities that adults fail to see,” says Schoonmaker.
You are going to love this interview!!!

N.L. Holmes Discusses Here Novel - Lake of Flowers: A Lord Hani Mystery. This is episode 427 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
N.L. Holmes is a prolific novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career she served as a nun for two decades. In between she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today.
Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Studies from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in N.J. and University of South Florida for many years. She also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon.
With seven published novels, Holmes is the creator of The Lord Hani Mysteries. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!”
She also penned The Empire At Twilight series, historical fiction set in the 13th century C.B. during the Hittite Empire.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology.
Holmes resides with her husband, three cats, and a dog. They split their time between Tampa, Florida and northern France, where she gardens, weaves, and plays the violin. They have an adult son.
Today we are focused on her latest addition to her Lord Hani Mysteries - Lake of Flowers.

James Gilbert - Tales of Little Egypt: A Fictional Account of Small Town Life in America Between the Civil War and the Great Influenza Plague of 1918. This is episode 426 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Over the course of his career as a historian, James Gilbert published 11 history texts, one of which (Perfect Cities) was named a New York Times notable book of the year in 1986. Throughout his career, he has often succumbed to a love of travel made possible by teaching at the University of Paris and Warwick University in England, and with Fulbright Awards, at the University of Sydney, the University of Amsterdam, Erfurt and Tubingen Universities in Germany, and Uppsala University in Sweden, where he was given an honorary Doctoral Degree. Until 2020, he was the Faculty Fulbright Adviser at the University of Maryland.
Born in Chicago, Gilbert attended Carleton College and then the University of Wisconsin, earning a doctoral degree in American Intellectual and Cultural History. In 1966, he was hired by the University of Maryland. He was appointed Distinguished University Professor in 1999. While American history has been his profession, literature has been his passion, and since retirement, he has written three novels and a book of short stories. He is also an amateur cellist.
A little about Tales of Little Egypt…
Tales of Little Egypt is a fictional account of small-town America and the peculiar, ordinary, eccentric, sturdy, cunning, and contented characters who created it. Set in the years between the Civil War and the great Influenza Plague of 1918, this is a pageant of imaginary people--the narratives of a score of men, women, and children whose lives illustrate the immense changes and challenges of that turbulent era. This was a period of great events and outsized personalities: splendid World’s Fairs attended by millions, radical new inventions, devastating wars and violent revolutions and leaders like Theodore Roosevelt.
Today we are talking about Jim's latest book - Tales of Little Egypt, writing techniques, and history.

Harold Phifer talks with me about his memoir - Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at a Beach Bar. This is episode 423 of the audio podcast Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Harold Phifer was living a life that he was hiding from everyone—including himself. Then he met a woman at a bar in Thailand who cracked that secret open. Finally listened to, and guided by the stranger’s on-target, thoughtful questions, Harold spoke for the first time of his near-death experience in Afghanistan while flashing back to his dysfunctional past.
His inspiring memoir, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace At A Beach Bar. does not shy away from the stark details of childhood bullying, family tension, being raised in poverty in 1960s Mississippi, a mother with schizophrenia, and feeling like an outsider even at home.
Having spent the past decade in Iraq and Afghanistan as a contractor (air-controller), he survived a suicide bombing by the Taliban but feels more at peace amidst the war zone than he did during his shattered childhood.
Harold Phifer started his literary career with a single book, SLEEPWALKING OUT OF AFGHANISTAN, in 2018. He followed that with an updated, largely expanded memoir, SURVIVING CHAOS: How I Found Peace at a Beach Bar, and he has an upcoming book FOOL ME THRICE, under the pen name - Dean Conan.
Harold was born and raised by a single mom in Columbus, Mississippi. He attended Caldwell High School before graduating from Mississippi State and Jackson State Universities respectively. He built his career as an Air Traffic Controller with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for 23 years. After deciding to leave the FAA he started a second career as an International Contractor.
As a contractor he had numerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Today we are talking about his memoir - Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at a Beach Bar.

In many respects, Tony Tedeschi's new novel, "Unfinished Business," is an outgrowth of his years working within the business world, as a writer of business proposals, business plans and two business books. It is also a reflection of his years traveling the world writing special sections for Audubon magazine, and articles for dozens of other magazines and newspapers spanning the U.S. from The New York Times to the Los Angeles Times.
Tedeschi is editor and publisher of Natural Traveler Magazine®, a limited run print quarterly he founded in 2019. "That December I opened a Word doc, and dropped in stories and photos that colleagues I'd met over the years had been sharing with me," he says. "Suddenly, I had a 64-page version of my take on The Saturday Evening Post, where I had interned during my senior year in college."
The holder of a B.A. in Journalism from New York University and M.A. in English Literature from Hofstra University, Tedeschi was greatly influenced by the cultural changes that were evolving around NYU's urban campus in Lower Manhattan in the 1960s. "Bob Dylan was playing the coffee houses, Woody Allen was doing standup, the Beat Poets and Progressive Jazz musicians were all over Greenwich Village," he says. "My co-editor and I at the NYU newspaper created a weekly insert to cover as much of that as we could and it made a lasting impression on me. When I graduated, I wanted to work for The Saturday Evening Post or The New Yorker. Alas I was 23, drafted by the Army but took a commission as an Air Force officer and, after four years training pilots for the Vietnam War, returned to New York with a wife and children and followed the dictates of family down divergent roads, all centered around a career as a writer.
In addition to his newspaper and magazine journalism, Tedeschi has written two business books, "Live Via Satellite," about Comsat Corporation and the technology that launched the global communications revolution and "The Whitford Way," about the nonstick coating company that has made the world run more smoothly. He spent years collaborating with his mentor, Donald Bain, the ghostwriter of more than 100 mystery novels and author of the "Murder, She Wrote," mystery novels, spun off from the popular TV show. An accomplished photographer, Tedeschi's photos have illustrated much of his journalistic work. He is also a musician and composer, having recently completed his first musical play, "Leaving Pleasantville," about the 15-year period from 1955 to 1970, when Rock 'n' Roll changed the world of music.
Tedeschi lives in Glen Cove, New York, with his wife, Candy, one of the country's preeminent gynecological nurse practitioners. They have three daughters and seven grandchildren
About Tony’s Book - “Unfinished Business” A horrific massacre happens in a small Honduran village, where a group of militiamen slaughter everyone in a hail of bullets. Eighteen years later, through a series of unrelated events, a mission for truth and revenge takes hold amidst the setting of a greedy, immoral boardroom of a large, multi-national corporation. The toll of human sacrifice in pursuit of greed drives a powerful exploration into why people cross lines to do what they do.
Unfinished Business is a great character exploration into the mind of an unscrupulous CEO. The story spans the world, from New York and Central America to the Caribbean and Europe, places that the author has traveled to.
The dramatic tension is driven by the CEO, who is involved in stock manipulation and other business decisions that are so ego-driven they have destructive effects on the global conglomerate he heads. Some of the CEO’s decisions, excused as “it’s only business,” have terrible consequences, including the book’s opening scene in Honduras.
The character who seeks revenge for that crime is a metaphor for all those who have been devastated by the actions of unscrupulous business people. Nonetheless, the plot is a unique detective story, involving a business sleuth who must unravel the mystery of what is going on at the company and how it has impacted people, sometimes in lethal ways.

Keith Senzer - Founder of PowerShift Coaching - Helping Teens and Adults Find Their True North. Thi sis episode 396 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Keith Senzer helps teens find their true north and follow it through their words and actions, to create a more loving, accepting, responsible and committed adult who has the power to ensure their future success and heal our world.
He truly believes this is his purpose and calling!
Keith had wished that Life Coaching was something that was accessible when he was growing up. He was bullied as a teen and to this day believes that he had ADHD which went undiagnosed. This had a tremendous impact on his academic success and in turn his self-confidence.
He struggled to make new friends and was viewed as a snob because he was so shy. His insecurities kept him from connecting with people and recognizing social cues that he should have responded to differently.
Keith has 2 children, one with ADHD and one with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Nurturing them along with his amazing wife, he taught them to be confident, responsible, empathetic and loving human beings. He woke up one day and realized that he had a bigger purpose than himself.
He sold his successful catering business and he got his coaching certification.
Since 2014 he has dedicated his life to helping teens become the best version of themselves and teaching them to be our future leaders with a goal to heal our world.
Thanks for listening!
Enjoy.

Lynn Jimenez - Founder of Connect Flow Grow - What Stress Is and How to Manage it. This is episode 394 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Have you signed up for Lynn's Summer Self Care Event? Learn how to deal with your stress. Go to https://connectflowgrow.mykajabi.com/a/2147490926/CtrL2cFW
Lynn Jimenez is back. You might remember her from episode 354 where we talked about her business Connect-Flow-Grow and working with kids and families with social emotional support. Today we are talking about Stress and more specifically helping educators deal with it.
Lynn Jimenez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over 10 years experience as an educator in California. Her school based experience includes working with students in foster care and on probation, supporting school districts in developing trauma informed practices, creating innovative programs to drive state policy change, implementing Restorative Practices, and developing school based substance abuse and mental health programs. As a therapist, Lynn's niche is stress response system activation, which includes daily stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma responses. Her favorite tools to help neutralize the stress response system are 1) nurturing relationships and 2) mindfulness.
Lynn founded Connect Flow Grow to address the growing need for students to have more social emotional support, helping schools partner with parents to develop these skills in the home, so students come to school ready, willing, and able to learn.
Today, We will be talking about stress! What it is and how to manage it. Lynn's expertise is the stress response system and helping people understand what stress is so they can effectively reduce and live more enjoyable lives. This is critical for educators, who as caregivers are already vulnerable to burnout - which is only heightened as we continue to grapple with a global pandemic.
Thanks for listening!
Enjoy.

Craig Randall talks with me about his book Trust-Based Observations: Maximizing Teaching and Learning Growth. This is episode 392 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Craig Randall has worked as an elementary and middle school counselor, including one intense year in the classroom with students with severe behavior issues. In addition he has served as an academic advisor at the college level. He has worked as a collegiate basketball coach. He has worked as a teacher at the elementary, middle, and high school levels as well as in college.
And, of course, Craig has worked in the job of his passion and calling: assistant principal and principal. Craig has done his work at schools both in the US and overseas. Now, as the author of the book and founder of the business with the same name: Trust-Based Observations, Craig’s goal is to transform the world of teacher observation and evaluation. He is dedicated to training and consulting school leaders on the use of Trust-Based Observations, empowering them to build supportive relationships with their teachers, relationships which foster risk-taking, which in turn, dramatically improve teaching and learning.
Craig received his Bachelor’s degree, yes in English, from the University of Washington, his Master’s in Education in Guidance and Counseling from Saint Martin’s University, and his principal certification from Western Washington University.
Currently, Craig lives in the rainy but beautiful Pacific Northwest with the best educator he knows, his wife and new teacher mentor, Michele, and their just graduated high-school twins, Acalia and Craigo.

N.L. Holmes: A New Adventure in the Empire at Twilight series - The Sun at Twilight. Episode 385 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
N.L. Holmes is a prolific novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career she served as a nun for two decades. In between she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today.
Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Studies from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in N.J. and University of South Florida for many years. She also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon.
With seven published novels, Holmes is the creator of The Lord Hani Mysteries. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!”
She also penned The Empire At Twilight series, historical fiction set in the 13th century C.B. during the Hittite Empire.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology.
Holmes resides with her husband, three cats, and a dog. They split their time between Tampa, Florida and northern France, where she gardens, weaves, and plays the violin. They have an adult son.
Today we are focused on her latest addition to her Empire at Twilight series...The Sun at Twilight.
Thanks for listening!

Gabriele Delmonaco talks about A Chance in Life an International Non-Profit that Provides Food, Shelter, and Education for Underprivileged and Refugee Youth Throughout the World. This is episode 384 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
President and Executive Director of A Chance In Life since February 2015, Gabriele Delmonaco heads the national operations of the organization from its New York office, reporting directly to the Chairman of the Board. He is leading the organization in our next phase of growth and international expansion.
A Chance In Life is an international nonprofit that provides shelter, food and education - including financial literacy - for underprivileged and refugee youth throughout the world including here in the United States.
Originally known as Boys and Girls Towns, the organization came into being 75 years ago after World War II. Its goal was to provide a home to vast numbers of children who had been displaced and to give them “a chance in life.” Not only did the institution offer them a home, but its unique system of “self-government” gave these young people the opportunity to pursue an education and to develop the confidence and the creativity they need to become active participants in their communities.
Fast forward to today and this international nonprofit is providing shelter and support to nearly 4,000 homeless, vulnerable and refugee youth in nine countries with plans to open one in the United States in the coming weeks. ACIL’s unique model of self-governance lets youth have complete control over how their town runs - even forming their own currency. They not only learn to think critically, but how to speak out for themselves and those around them.
Gabriele, a native Italian, moved to the United States in 2001 from Rome. He possesses more than 25 years’ experience in the non-profit field with a proven track record as a chief operating officer and as a fundraiser, managing multinational teams.
Most recently, Gabriele served the Jesuits of the New York and New England Provinces as VP for Advancement and Communications, leading a successful merger of the two provinces. Previously, he served as Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. branch of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA), an international agency that provides humanitarian aid and pastoral support in the Middle East, Northeast Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia. Gabriele also worked at the Vatican as Associate Director of Finance for eight years.
Gabriele holds an MBA in marketing and a BS in organizational management from Nyack College in New York. He resides in New York City with his family.

PC Smith talks about her novel The Shingle Weaver's Picnic, life during World War II, and making stained glass. This is episode 380 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast
P.C. Smith was a well-known stained glass maker in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, for over 15 years, creating custom pieces for celebrities and clients all around the world. Upon retirement, she took up her second love, writing, and has published poetry and short stories before writing this, her first novel. She is a mother of two, a grandmother of four, and a great-grandmother of seven. She lives on the Monterey Peninsula, California and in Darby, Montana, with her loving husband and two dogs.
The Shingle Weaver’s Picnic is a poignant and timeless story of a close-knit family touched by tragedy in the darkest days of the Second World War, and a young girl who must cope with the unthinkable when a child is murdered during her summer visit to her grandparents’ house.
Smith’s wonderfully crafted story transports us to a long-gone era and takes us intimately inside of a shocking story.
How do people react to the horrible news? What secrets come to light? Can a child’s innocence still exist amidst a violent world?
The Shingle Weaver’s Picnic not only entertains, but it touches the hearts of readers and explores a moving side of the human spirit.
“Through the power of this story, readers will no doubt find themselves changed,” suggests Smith. “They will enter a time and place that on one hand seems long gone, and on the other, seems ever present.”
So much to learn today!

Bruce Boise - Opioid Crisis Gets Worse During COVID and More About Bruce's Book Cold Comfort: One Man's Struggle to Stop the Illegal Marketing of Powerful Opioid Drugs and Save Lives. This is episode 379 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Bruce Boise worked for nearly 24 years in the pharmaceutical industry, first as a hospital representative, and then as a sales manager in the Great Lakes region. After losing his job as a whistleblower, he spent portions of the next 17 years working with the United States Justice department on two separate False Claims Act cases against his former employer, Cephalon/Teva, a neuro bio-tech company.
His story is told in a new book, Cold Comfort: One Man's Struggle to Stop the Illegal Marketing of Powerful Opioid Drugs and Save Lives. You can also hear my interview with Bruce on episode 308 of Teaching Learning Leading K12 talking about his book and the Opioid Crisis.
Bruce, after exposing how Cephalon was illegally marketing off- label prescription drug usage, waited many years to see justice after wearing a wire, losing his job, becoming homeless, and black-balled by the pharmaceutical industry. At one point, he was flipping burgers for ten bucks an hour just to get by. Cephalon settled the case many years later with the United States for $425 million in fines and damages.
Today he advocates on behalf of whistleblowers and helps educate the public on the importance of supporting all whistleblowers.
Boise began working at Carter-Wallace in 1980. He earned the pharmaceutical company’s highest sales award, President’s Club, several times during his 16-year tenure. He often ranked in the company’s top 20% in sales and trained field and hopeful sales representatives. He developed their first million-dollar territory and ranked as the top salesperson in the nation of Felbatol, an anti-epileptic drug.
In 1996 he went to work for Cephalon, Inc., and within two years he ranked third in the company nationally in sales of all in-line products. He worked with Medtronic to co-market several products.
Among his accomplishments in working seven years with Cephalon, Inc., he developed a team of 11 reports from a six-state region, including Chicago and Detroit; hired extensively throughout the nation during several expansions; spoke at numerous industry conventions to build product awareness; achieved $18 million in sales of a new product launch; and leading his sales region to be ranked No. 1 nationally.
Boise earned a Bachelor of Arts from The Ohio State University and did graduate work in Geo Engineering at Akron Community.
For more information, please consult www.bruceboise.com. He lived in Melbourne and Key West, Florida for a decade but the Ohio native has lived most his life in Columbus, Ohio.
Bruce will be discussing COVID & the Opioid Crisis and the most recent CDC status of Opioid overdoses.

Suzanne Rupp DeMallie talks about her book - Can You Hear Me Now: Join the Conversation to Make Public Education A Better Choice. This is episode 375 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Suzanne Rupp DeMallie taught for seven years in the Baltimore County Public School system. Research into her own son’s learning difficulties led her to author the Classroom Auditory Learning Issues resolution, adopted by the National PTA in July, 2007. Her work has appeared in Our Children Magazine, T.H.E. Journal, Towson Times, and The Baltimore Sun. She has presented at the National School Boards Association’s Annual Convention; to national, state, and local PTA groups; and to politicians.
Suzanne was awarded the National PTA’s Life Achievement Award in May 2007, the highest honor from the nation's largest child advocacy organization.
Today we are going to focus on her book, Can You Hear Me Now? Join the Conversation to Make Public Education A Better Choice
A little bit about Can You Hear Me Now?
As a parent, DeMallie fought a nationwide battle against bureaucracy for the simple, common-sense idea that children in the back of a classroom should be able to hear their teacher. Now, as a teacher herself, DeMallie is speaking loud and clear, fighting public-school dysfunction on the inside.
Can You Hear Me Now ? walks parents and teachers through everything they need to know to make a difference in their local district and beyond, from the most basic questions they should be asking to the most effective steps they can take to make their voices heard.

Dr. Melanie Dean discusses her book The Hidden Power of Emotions: How to Activate Your Energy Field and Transform Your Life. This is episode 368 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Melanie Dean, Ph.D. – is a psychologist with a background in science and business who has spent her career helping people work with their thoughts and feelings to achieve their own personal goals.
After 15 years building a publishing company for psychologists and psychiatrists, Dr. Melanie Dean went on to sell it for the exact amount of money she had been envisioning. How did the thoughts and feelings she had been nurturing sync up with the opportunities that brought her exactly what she wanted?
The Hidden Power of Emotions: How to Activate your Energy Field and Transform your Life is the culmination of 10 years of Dr. Dean’s research in psychology, molecular physics, and quantum physics to answer that question. In her newest book, she reveals the truth that she discovered – there is a science-backed system for tapping your intuition’s power and using it to get what you want.
Dr. Dean explains how each one of us is continually communicating with a living world of energy, whether we realize it or not. Your emotions, which are made up of atoms, create energy waves that leave your body and connect with similar energy. When you focus your feelings on what you want, you begin to intentionally direct your energy, sending out waves that will connect you with and help you achieve your desires.
Dr. Dean holds two patents on assessment systems that help physicians diagnose and treat chronic conditions and is also the author of Borderline Personality Disorder: The Latest Assessment and Treatment Strategies.
While on faculty at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, Dr. Dean taught a doctoral training clinic on Brief Solutions Focused Therapy. She has presented for large and small organizations including Intel, St. Luke’s Hospital, Bendix, Allied Signal and BMO Harris Bank.
In addition to her education and research in science and psychology, Dr. Dean is dedicated to the study of spirituality and has learned directly from the Dalai Lama. She serves on the Board of Trustees for Unity World Headquarters and lives in Kansas City, Missouri, with her husband, kids, horses and dog.
She is the creator and leader of The Wave Makers, a free online learning community dedicated to helping people notice and shift their emotions - and intentionally direct their energy to create the life they really want.

Barbara R. Blackburn, named a Top 30 Global Guru in Education, has dedicated her life to raising the level of rigor and motivation for professional educators and students alike. What differentiates Barbara’s over 25 books are her easily executable concrete examples based on decades of experience as a teacher, professor and consultant.
Barbara’s dedication to education was inspired in her early years by her parents. Her father’s doctorate and lifetime career as a professor taught her the importance of professional training.

She received her PhD in Curriculum and Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In 2006, she received the award for Outstanding Junior Professor at Winthrop University. She left her position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to write and speak full time.
In addition to speaking at state, national and international conferences, she regularly presents workshops for teachers and administrators in elementary, middle and high schools. Her workshops are lively and engaging and filled with practical information. Her most popular seminars include:
Rigor Is NOT a Four-Letter Word

He has been published in multiple languages and nominated for the 2018 Prix du Polar.
He is the editor-in-chief and co-founder of Fringe, dedicated to publishing fiction that's outside-of-the-box.
His pilots and screenplays have been finalists in Script Pipeline, Book Pipeline, Stage 32, We Screenplay, the New York Screenplay, Screencraft, and the Hollywood Screenplay contests.

He is the co-curator of The Guerrilla Lit Reading Series and lives in New York City.
Here is a little sneak peek at his latest novel - Orange City
Imagine a secret, hidden city that gives a second chance at life for those selected to come: felons, deformed outcasts, those on the fringe of the Outside World. Everyone gets a job, a place to live; but you are bound to the city forever. You can never leave.
Its citizens are ruled by a monstrous figure called the “Man” who resembles a giant demented spider from the lifelike robotic limbs attached to his body. Everyone follows the man blindly, working hard to make their Promised Land stronger, too scared to defy him and be discarded to the Empty Zones.
After ten years as an advertising executive, Graham Weatherend receives an order to test a new client, Pow! Sodas. After one sip of the orange flavor, he becomes addicted, the sodas causing wild mood swings that finally wake him up to the prison he calls reality.
A dynamic mash-up of 1984 meets LOST, ORANGE CITY is a lurid, dystopian first book in a series that will continue with the explosive sequel LEMONWORLD.
According to Raymond A. Villareal, author of A People’s History of the Vampire Uprising...Orange City is...
“A unique dystopian thriller that manages to reveal our greatest fears about emerging technology and our anxieties at what the future holds.”

Initially, I floundered in the world and was lost . As I struggled with being lazy and directionless I began to appreciate self-determination, meditation, and achievement. With these new appreciations came a new surge in curiosity. I built up my courage and enrolled at a local community college. I knew if I was going to succeed I had to change the habits that resulted in failure before.
For the first time, I did well in school. Building momentum, I transferred to a university where I was a member of the student senate, a research assistant for two professors, and helped lead student clubs. I enjoyed learning so I went on to law school, passed the bar, and became an attorney.
A few years into my legal practice, however, I began to yearn for something more. I yearned for a deeper understanding of myself, and humanity as a whole. I became fascinated with the religions of the world and spent time studying each of them along with other obscure and rare books. I've been to over 70 faith centers (places of worship). I've lived in places like Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Las Angeles, Miami, and spent a month deep in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle.
I also make conceptual art regularly, mostly from digital tools but also painting. Some of the conceptual art I create is integrated into the Full Metal Intensive because I believe in utilizing different methods in teaching. Conveying lessons in visual form can be very powerful, and develops human perception.
I have been a meditator throughout this journey which I believe to be very important to my success.
I now teach the potent techniques that helped me get up from rock bottom and fully actualize. The Full Metal Intensive Leadership Seminar seeks to engage all the senses using audio, music, conceptual art and one on one sessions to develop positive beliefs and rebuild your core, generate personal motivation to take action, and strengthen crucial decision making. A fully actualized leader vitalized from the Full Metal Intensive fully engages the world with their heart, their expression, their perception, and their mind."
Awesome talk today!
Lots to learn as Daniel shares his story.
Thanks for listening!

Judith Finlayson talks with me about her book You Are What Your Grandparents Ate: What You Need to Know About Nutrition, Experience, Epigenetics & the Origins of Chronic Disease. This is episode 350 of my audio podcast Teaching Learning Leading K12.
You Are What Your Grandparents Ate takes conventional wisdom about the origins of chronic disease and turns it upside down. Rooted in the work of the late epidemiologist Dr. David Barker, it highlights the exciting research showing that heredity involves much more than the genes your parents passed on to you. Thanks to the relatively new science of epigenetics, we now know that the experiences of previous generations may show up in your health and well-being.
Many of the risks for chronic diseases — including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and dementia — can be traced back to your first 1,000 days of existence, from the moment you were conceived. The roots of these vulnerabilities may extend back even further, to experiences your parents and grandparents had — and perhaps even beyond.
Similarly, what happens to you will affect your children and grandchildren. That’s why it’s so important to make good dietary choices, get a suitable amount of exercise and be cautious about exposure to toxins. Positive lifestyle changes have been shown to spark epigenetic adjustments that can lead to better health, not only for yourself, your offspring and their children, but also for generations to come.
Judith Finlayson is a bestselling author who has written books on a variety of subjects, from personal well-being and women's history to food and nutrition. A former national newspaper columnist for The Globe and Mail, magazine journalist and board member of various organizations focusing on legal, medical and women's issues, she is also the author of over a dozen cookbooks.
Judith lives in Toronto, Canada.

Susie Harder talks with me about helping kids who stutter, providing assistance for Central California Creek Fire Families, and the Junior Author's Program. This is episode 348 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. By the way make sure that you listen to the end to hear where to go to get your gift for listening.
Susie Harder, M.A., CCC-SLP is an experienced clinician who devotes much of her passion to working with children who stutter. She works in private practice and the school setting to help support children and provides workshops and consulting-based support to school districts across California.
Susie has a history of designing and building successful programs. During her time in Fresno Unified School District (2011-2015), Susie designed and piloted a framework for 100 elementary schools, where specialty services successfully reduced student speech therapy time up to 5 years.
Most recently (2020), when the Central California Creek Fire started and children from her hometown lost their homes, Susie started brainstorming how to best support these kids. When she couldn’t find enough resources, she simply decided to create it. Within a week, she had written a children’s book themed around what these kids had just experienced, found an editor, taken a course on children’s books, and started looking internationally to find the best illustrator. Her child development skills guided her toward sharing this inspirational knowledge with kids.
The Junior Author’s Program engages students from around the world in collaboratively writing a children’s book which will be sold to raise funds for families that lost their homes in the California Creek fire. Not only does it help students participate in a meaningful project, but the storyline of the book itself is written to help children heal and process their experience of losing their home in the fire.
Thus, she created a unique platform to reinvent how children connect with literacy and books. Through the Junior Author's Program, children across the world vote to decide characters, setting, and story details of a book as it’s being created. Children get to see behind-the-scenes and connect with her through fun video posts and “Ask The Author Live” events, and are empowered by contributing to the content of the book from rough draft to published book on Amazon!
Susie is full of positive energy, encouragement, and is an invaluable resource for anyone she works with.

John Abrams is a performer and entertainer. Today we are talking about Magic, his School of Astonishment, the impact of the Pandemic on his magic business, and he shares with us some ways to make Video Engaging. Love this episode!!! Had so much fun! Wait till you hear John amaze me with an AWESOME bit of magic! This is episode 347 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Today, I am talking with John Abrams...according to John…
It's always been my goal to help principals, teachers and staff build healthy students at the Elementary School level.
My name is John Abrams. I have (had) some of the Top School Assemblies in the country (The Bully Game and Random Acts of Character) performing around 400 shows a year. – See www.AmazingSchoolAssemblies.com
On March 12, 2020 - I started receiving emails cancelling shows. It continued for the next few days. All shows were cancelled. Because of COVID, I lost around $100,000 this year alone.
In April, I started teaching social skills to kids through magic and doing socially distanced shows. Not nearly as lucrative.
I was sad and depressed for a couple of months. Could barely get out of bed. In July, my Mom was nice enough to offer her house. I moved.
On October 15th, I had an epiphany. This is it: "Performing live, I can only affect students in the Southern California Area (or a little tour here or there). But On-Line I can affect students all over the country! All over the world (in English speaking countries)"
But none of my assemblies fit this new COVID world. All were built on content (certainly transferable) and student participation (Not transferable). I spent the last 25 years figuring out how students could be involved ON STAGE. And now, none of that would work.
I re-branded and immediately started working on a brand-new STEM/STEAM program. But not a stage version, a slick On-Line version. Content first. Entertainment next. I enlisted some of the top minds around the country to help create it.
Now, with new assemblies on the horizon, and teaching kids social skills through magic, I'm ready to help schools around the world! – See www.SchoolofAstonishment.com
Teachers and Principals can pivot too. Yes, COVID changed everything about how we teach. But we're smart. We can innovate and make sure our students flourish!
Talking with John was a blast!!! He was amazing!
I still can't believe the magic trick he did for me!!!! WOW!
Lots to learn.
Have fun!
Thanks for listening!

N.L. Holmes: Writing Historical Fiction - The Empire at Twilight series & The Lord Hani Mysteries. This is episode 346 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
N.L. Holmes is a prolific novelist embarking on another significant career phase. Prior to taking up the power of writing and using this pen name, she was an accomplished archaeologist and teacher for 25 years. Early in her career she served as a nun for two decades. In between she was an artist and antiques dealer. Yes, she has lived an interesting life and the sum of her experiences informs and inspires her writings today.
Holmes, who earned her doctorate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Studies from Bryn Mawr College despite an offer to attend Princeton, has excavated in Greece and Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at Stockton University in N.J. and University of South Florida for many years. She also did archaeological artwork for excavations from Lebanon.
With seven published novels, Holmes is the creator of The Lord Hani Mysteries. The inspiration for her Bronze Age novels came with an assignment she gave to her students one day: Here are the only documents we have telling us about royal divorce in Ugarit in the 13th century. How much can we say about what happened? She notes: “It quickly became apparent that almost anything we might come up with was as much fiction as historiography!”
She also penned The Empire At Twilight series, historical fiction set in the 13th century C.B. during the Hittite Empire.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, she attended The University of Texas in the honors program but dropped out midway to enter into the antiques business. Two years later, she entered the Discalced Carmelite convent in Texas. She left the convent 20 years later and returned to school to get her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology.
Holmes resides with her husband, three cats, and a dog. They split their time between Tampa, Florida and northern France, where she gardens, weaves, and plays the violin. They have an adult son.
Awesome conversation!

Graham Glass: Cypher Learning, NEO the learning management system, and the usefulness of edtech during the pandemic. This is episode 345 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
It all started with a young boy named Graham Glass who had a tremendous passion for education. Growing up in the U.K., Graham was lucky to attend schools where he encountered some great teachers. He enjoyed going to school and learning new things. He even thought of choosing teaching as a career.
Later on, after finishing university, Graham became a teacher and was a senior lecturer at the University of Texas, where he taught Computer Science. He gained a good reputation for his teaching skills at UTD, and was soon getting offers to teach the same materials at local high-tech companies. Back in those days, Learning Management Systems (LMS) did not exist to help facilitate teaching and engage young learners with their studies. Even then, he was wondering why isn’t there a way to package his instruction materials in a scalable way and make it available to millions of people.
Graham built his first company based on his teaching experience and ventured on to corporate training and software products. He founded two more companies related to computer tech and training, but his passion has always remained teaching and education. Even though he spent most of his career in the enterprise software space, there has always been a significant educational component, whether it was teaching at University, writing books, teaching in corporations, or explaining complex topics at seminars.
That's why in 2009 he decided to go back to his educational roots by starting a new company called EDU 2.0. The company focused on something that was very close to Graham's heart, which was improving education through an innovative e-learning platform. His mission was to provide a better way of facilitating teaching and learning and have a bigger impact on the way people learn.
Graham is the CEO of Cypher Learning. Join us as we talk about Cypher Learning, the NEO Learning Management System, and the usefulness of edtech during the pandemic.

Ben Owens discusses his non-profit "Open Way Learning" and the book he co-authored - Open Up, Education! How Open Way Learning Can Transform Schools. This is episode 339 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Ben Owens is an education strategist and coach with experience helping schools create the cultural conditions that allow authentic, localized innovation to thrive in their own learning communities. He specializes in working with schools to retool their approach to collaboration and the free exchange of ideas and resources by applying the core elements of the open source movement - one of the primary drivers fueling our innovation economy. This “Open Way Learning” approach allows teams to develop, remix, adapt, and sustain a culture of authentic innovation that nimbly responds to the just-in-time needs of each student. Such innovative approaches include competency-based learning, project-based learning, distributed leadership, design thinking, true personalized learning, and high-quality STEM teaching & learning - all implemented with fidelity and sustained for the long term because they are rooted in the DNA of a school’s culture (instead of being short lived fads).
As an engineer who spent a 20-year career in manufacturing locations across the US, Ben saw first-hand the essential need to rethink student success so that it was less focused on siloed curriculum and test scores and more focused on the skills, knowledge, and dispositions needed for students to thrive in a rapidly changing world. He left the corporate world in 2007 to do something about this by becoming a public school teacher in Southern Appalachia. Ben taught physics and math for 11 years at Tri-County Early College and in that role was able to work with a dynamic team of peers to craft and scale an engaging approach to student-centered teaching and learning that blurs the lines between what happens in school and what happens in the real world.
Ben is the co-author of “Open Up, Education! How Open Way Learning Can Transform Schools,” a book that makes a compelling case for why our schools must be more open if they are to truly prepare students for a rapidly changing world. He was the recipient of the 2017 Bridging the Gap Distinguished Teacher in STEM Education; the 2016 North Carolina Center for Science, Mathematics, & Technology Outstanding 9-16 Educator Award; a member of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Teacher Advisory Council; a 2014 Hope Street Group National Teaching Fellow, and a former “Community TA” for the MIT Teaching Systems Lab. He is currently an Open Organization Ambassador and is a National Faculty member for PBLWorks, the world leader in Project Based Learning. He and his wife live in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.

Nicole Rivera, principal, Centner Academy Elementary School
Nicole Rivera is the elementary school principal at the Centner Academy. She talks with me about the founders, focus, and goals of the Centner Academy located in Miami, Florida. This is episode 338 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Founded by serial entrepreneurs and philanthropists David and Leila Centner, Centner Academy is a multicultural language immersion school dedicated to cultivating happiness, emotional intelligence, mindfulness and well-being in children. The curriculum is focused on a unique blend of diverse academic paradigms supported by key pillars: language mastery, leadership, character, mindfulness, philanthropy and life skills.
“At Centner Academy, we’re striving for every child to start school happy and excited for the rest of the year,” said Leila Centner, Founder & CEO of Centner Academy. “A positive school climate and culture promotes students’ ability to learn and succeed in life. Our goal is to transform the heart of education to ensure happy, confident, compassionate, mindful, empathic and connected children through a more holistic approach to teaching that responds to social challenges.”
Nicole Rivera is the elementary school principal at Centner Academy.
She is passionate about embedding social-emotional learning throughout the curriculum at all grade levels. In addition to the academic skills all students need, Nicole recognized early on that the landscape of education would need to shift significantly to prepare students properly for their futures. In a world where many traditional jobs are becoming automated, emotional intelligence and “soft” skills are more important now than ever.
Nicole saw this need and created her own business, the Academic Tutoring Program to help students achieve academic success as well as confidence and emotional resilience. Nicole’s expertise has empowered many students.
Nicole holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a specific focus on Developmental Psychology from Florida International University and is a business owner.
The Centner Academy, based in Miami Florida, is the first happiness school in the U.S. It will implement a happiness and mindfulness curriculum for students in preschool to 8th grade.

Russell Heath talks about sailing around the world, lessons learned, and looking forward to rowing around the waters of Newfoundland. This is episode 333 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
In his teens, Russell Heath hitchhiked to Alaska and lived in a cabin on the banks of the Tanana River; in his twenties, he lived in Italy and then traveled overland across the Sahara, through the jungles and over the savannas of Africa and into southern Asia.
In his thirties, he sailed alone around the world in a 25 foot wooden boat; in his forties, he wrote novels; and in his fifties he bicycled the spine of the Rockies from Alaska to Mexico.
He’s worked on the Alaska Pipeline, as an environmental lobbyist in the Alaska Legislature, and run a storied environmental organization fighting to protect Alaska’s coastal rainforests.
In 2010, wanting more frenzy in his life, he moved to New York City where he dug deep into leadership development and coaching. He now lives in a cabin on the coast of Maine coaching business and non-profit leaders intent on making big things happen in the world.
He is the author of the books - Broken Angels and Rinn’s Crossing…

John Hattie talks with me today about Visible Learning, The Impact of What We do, and a couple of his most recent books - 10 Mindframes for Leaders, and The Distance Learning Playbook Series for Leaders and Teachers K-12. This is episode 332 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Professor John Hattie is a researcher in education. His research interests include performance indicators, models of measurement and evaluation of teaching and learning. John Hattie became known to a wider public with his two books Visible Learning and Visible Learning for teachers. Visible Learning is a synthesis of more than 800 meta-studies covering more than 250 million students. According to John Hattie Visible Learning is the result of 15 years of research about what works best for learning in schools. TES once called him “possibly the world’s most influential education academic”.
John Hattie is Laureate Professor of Education at the University of Melbourne, Australia, since March 2011. Before, he was Project Director of asTTle and Professor of Education at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He holds a PhD from the University of Toronto, Canada. You can find a full CV of Professor John Hattie (PDF) at the website of the University of Auckland.
John Hattie’s research got a lot of attention from the media linked to the publication of his Visible Learning meta-study. The problem was that many individual aspects of his research were taken and used as a kind of checklist that could magically improve schools. It won’t work like that. John Hattie’s TED talk “Why are so many of our teachers and schools so successful” can be a good starting point to putting it all in context.

Dung Duong talks with me about his book - Shifting Optics: A Life in Perspective. Awesome talk! Dung has a wonderful outlook on life! This is episode 329 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Dung Duong is an entrepreneur, investor, and optic engineer who’s dedicated to making our world a better place. He supports his wife’s nonprofit, Perspective Charity, which works to give children the opportunity to become impactful doers, contributors, and leaders regardless of their economic or social situation. Dung wrote this book for his three children—Anastasia, Athena, and Radiant—in the hope that they find comfort, snicker at the infinitely bad jokes, and get a different perspective.
As a child, Dung Duong fled a third-world country, lived in refugee camps, was jailed, and found himself homeless before immigrating to the United States, ultimately growing up in poverty. A strong student and gifted engineer, Dung eventually found success as an entrepreneur and investor. In telling his full story, Dung doesn’t dwell on what he lacked in his youth. Instead, he focuses on what he did have: intrinsic motivation, a strong will, and the desire to positively impact the world.
Perhaps, like Dung, you also have a desire to make the world a better place.
In Shifting Optics, Dung shares his stories and honest recollections so that you can take from them perspective, if you wish. Told with a wink and a smile, he offers up his life’s story to show there is always a light in the darkness, there’s always a tomorrow, and there’s always a way to move forward and improve the world in our own unique way.

Houston Kraft talks about his book - Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide for the Way We Think, Talk, and Act in Kindness. This is episode 328 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
Houston Kraft is a speaker, facilitator, kindness advocate and according to his Twitter account - a professional hugger.
Houston’s job is to practice kindness. In high school, he started an organization called Random Acts of Kindness, Etc. (R.A.K.E.) to create a more connected, compassionate campus.
In college, he created Our Kindness with a focus on service, community building, and reducing anxiety through intentional acts of care.
Over the next eight years, Houston spoke at over 600 schools, organizations, and events globally to over a half a million people. He has spoken in over thirty states, Mexico, Canada, and Uganda. In 2016, Houston co-created Character Strong, which provides curriculum and training for safer and kinder schools and has already worked with 2,000 schools internationally, serving over one million students with their message, daily. In 2019, Houston was featured by Lay’s for their Spreading Smiles campaign.
He has been featured on the Huffington Post and highlighted by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. His messages about character, leadership, compassion, and kindness resonate with audiences age 5 to 95.
Houston is the author of Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide For the Way We Think, Talk, and Act in Kindness with a 30 Act Starter Plan, Journal Prompts, and Practical Exercises.
DEEP KINDNESS is a call to action, beckoning us to a deeper understanding that calls readers to move past the surface level ‘confetti kindness’ marked by cutesy phrases and empty gestures. Instead, Kraft reveals, deep kindness is an ever-growing skillset rooted in empathy, perspective-taking, resilience, courage, and forgiveness. Featuring a 30-act starter plan, journal prompts, and practical exercises, DEEP KINDNESS dives into the types of kindness the world needs most today, taking an honest look at the gap between our belief in kindness and our ability to practice it well.

Raj Valli: Founder & CEO of Thinkster talks with me about Thinkster Math, Thinkster apps, test prep, and tutoring. This is episode 326 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Raj Valli founded - Thinkster.
He is a data and statistics guy at heart. As a certified Six Sigma Black Belt, he helped multi-billion dollar companies save money by making sure that their products and services were of the highest quality. Six Sigma means having less than 3.4 defects per 1 million pieces of anything you produce - engines, coffee cups, your shirt...tutoring….anything! That’s outstanding almost defect-free quality!
He has worked for major multi-billion dollar corporations leading functional areas in marketing, finance, operations, strategy, and M&A, across Aerospace, Automotive, Life Sciences, Chemicals, Materials, Pharmaceuticals, Industrial Controls, BioTech, Services, and Software.
He spent 20+ years volunteering his time to help provide basic education for underprivileged children.
Several years ago, his daughters were using a worksheet based math learning program (like Kumon, Mathnasium) to help accelerate their math learning.
He was frustrated by the lack of progress they were having in truly understanding math concepts. They were getting really good in the process of solving math problems in a very formulaic way without really understanding why they were doing what they were doing.
He looked everywhere for a math program that would let his daughter’s learn math for life and not just for a test or completing homework.
He wanted a guaranteed approach to learning math. Not hope. But GUARANTEED! Like, Six-Sigma defect-free!
He knew that if they had a real strong foundation in math, it would take them places. He found nothing other than a few books on the topic or needed to hire an excellent math tutor for $100/hour.
He took matters into his own hands and looked for efficient and fool-proof ways of getting students to learn not only math, but to develop a strong foundation in problem solving skills and to help them improve their critical thinking and logical reasoning skills.
He wanted them to develop the capacity to unpack and solve ANY problems in life - not just math problems.
His strategy worked so well, that it got his daughters to ace math in middle and high school and eventually it also helped them into a top Ivy League University.
This strategy became Thinkster….

He is the co-curator of The Guerrilla Lit Reading Series and lives in New York City.
Today, we are focused on Lee’s most recent thriller - The Ancestor…
Here is a little about The Ancestor:
A man wakes up in present-day Alaskan wilderness with no idea who he is, nothing on him save an empty journal with the date 1898 and a mirror.
He sees another man hunting nearby, astounded that they look exactly alike except for his own beard. After following this other man home, he witnesses a wife and child that brings forth a rush of memories of his own wife and child, except he's certain they do not exist in modern times—but from his life in the late 1800s.
After recalling his name is Wyatt, he worms his way into his doppelganger Travis Barlow's life. Memories become unearthed the more time he spends, making him believe that he'd been frozen after coming to Alaska during the Gold Rush and that Travis is his great-great grandson. Wyatt is certain gold still exists in the area and finding it with Travis will ingratiate himself to the family, especially with Travis's wife Callie, once Wyatt falls in love.
This turns into a dangerous obsession affecting the Barlows and everyone in their small town since Wyatt can't be tamed until he also discovers the meaning of why he was able to be preserved on ice for over a century.

Micki Boas is a marketing consultant and entrepreneur who has worked with a range of iconic brands, including NIKE, Samsung, the ACLU, the United Nations, and Fusion, to find bold, provocative solutions for broken systems.
When Boas’ older son was diagnosed with dyslexia, it took her four years of legal battles that drained her savings, battered her self-esteem, and pulled her family apart to find an education that fit his needs.
As a result, she created Invisible Red Tape, a thought leadership forum and online advising platform designed to expose the inequalities in education for children with dyslexia, and crowdsource an insider’s guide to practical solutions.
A little about … One in Five: How We are Fighting For Our Dyslexic Kids in a System that is Failing Them…
One mom determined to get the best education for her dyslexic son, offers practical tips and advice for other parents navigating the public-school system.
Both a rallying cry and an invaluable resource, One in Five details the national education crisis as it impacts the one in five children who have dyslexia. Micki Boas, mother to two dyslexic sons, wrote this book because too many parents feel isolated and defeated in their efforts to secure an equal chance for their children.

David Miletto explains his book - Images of an Idea Lost. This is episode 322 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
You may remember that over the last year I published a 4 part series with David Miletto - episodes 266, 271, 277, and 280. We talked about Italian heritage, life in and around Chicago, growing up in the late 50s, 60’s and early 1970s, he shared some family stories and we talked about his art work. Toward the end of the last part - episode 280...he was getting close to publishing his book.
David is an incredible cook, lover of life, artist and now an author. His book Images of an Idea Lost (available on Apple Books and KOBO) Here is the description of Images of an Idea Lost:
The beautiful July morning, when he first saw beauty descend the staircase, had become a distant memory. Then on a December evening, as he began to write a letter to her, the phone rang.
Images of an Idea Lost is the true story of Lynda and David’s twenty-five year relationship. The passion and the depth of their bond was born in the threshold of a dream, in the bright sunshine of that July day.
But it is a story that is veiled in a mystery, for it would become a tragedy that would have made the ancient Greeks cry.

Russell Heath discusses his latest thriller - Rinn's Crossing. This is episode 317 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
In his teens, Russell Heath hitchhiked to Alaska and lived in a cabin on the banks of the Tanana River; in his twenties, he lived in Italy and then traveled overland across the Sahara, through the jungles and over the savannas of Africa and into southern Asia.
In his thirties, he sailed alone around the world in a 25 foot wooden boat; in his forties, he wrote novels; and in his fifties he bicycled the spine of the Rockies from Alaska to Mexico.
He’s worked on the Alaska Pipeline, as an environmental lobbyist in the Alaska Legislature, and run a storied environmental organization fighting to protect Alaska’s coastal rainforests.
In 2010, wanting more frenzy in his life, he moved to New York City where he dug deep into leadership development and coaching. He now lives in a cabin on the coast of Maine coaching business and non-profit leaders intent on making big things happen in the world.
He is the author of the books - Broken Angels and Rinn’s Crossing…
Today we are focused on Rinn’s Crossing…
About Rinn’s Crossing:
On a remote Alaskan island, Rinn Vaness commits a minor felony. His former lover is arrested for the crime—and a murder someone tried to pin on him.
Out on bail, Kit Olinsky fights a scorched-earth battle in the state legislature to save the Alaska she loves. She can only win if she betrays her friend Dan Wakefield, a Native fighting desperately for what was promised to his people a generation ago. In the back rooms of the legislature, Senator Billy Macon manipulates Alaska’s grimy politics with vindictive mastery in the drive to the governor’s mansion.
Like a lone wolf, Rinn slips out of the forest to protect Kit, never suspecting that he has more at stake than a lonely prison cell.

As the papers predict record foreclosures, evictions and defaults, What can be done to stop this from becoming the second Great Depression?
Dr. Grayson explains that there is hope and he is on the front lines, behind the cameras fighting to eliminate socio-economic injustice. Dr. Grayson has successfully sued creditors and the credit bureaus to hold them accountable. Currently he is involved in the largest Pro Se litigation in history.

Liam D. Auliciems is an education entrepreneur, registered teacher, postgrad Masters student and academic researcher from Australia.
After seeing first-hand the dismal state of affairs of beginning teachers across the world, Liam co-founded PRAC-E to help find a solution to the ‘teacher drought’.

Bruce Boise talks with me about his book Cold Comfort - One Man's Struggle to stop the Illegal Marketing of Powerful Opioid Drugs and Save Lives. This is episode 308 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Bruce Boise, having worked as a top pharmaceuticals sales manager for 24 years, did not intend to become a whistle blower nor did he fully understand what he was getting himself into when he encouraged his company to stop illegally marketing off-label use of prescription drugs.
He ended up losing his job, getting black-balled by the industry, becoming homeless after going through a million dollars in assets and savings, and fearing all of his sacrifices and efforts would lead to nothing being done to the company that contributed to our nation’s deadly opioid overdose epidemic.
His story serves as inspiration to all future whistle blowers while warning the nation of the dangerous practices of the pharmaceutical and medical industries and the shortcomings of the FDA to adequately protect the American public.
“Big Pharma all too willingly accepts fines, even ones in the hundreds of millions of dollars, as merely the price of doing business when it knows it can make tens of billions from illegally marketing its products,” asserts Boise. “This has to stop now – before others die.”
Boise earned a Bachelor of Arts from The Ohio State University and did graduate work in Geo Engineering at Akron Community.
Bruce lived in Melbourne and Key West, Florida for a decade but the Ohio native has lived most his life in Columbus, Ohio.

Brian Weisfeld talks with us about his focus on empowering girls (and all children) on pursuing their dreams, he shares his book series called The Startup Squad (which teaches entrepreneurial principals in a fun way), and his latest book in the series - Face the Music. This is episode 306 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Brian Weisfeld has been building businesses his entire life. In elementary school, he bought 95 pounds of gummy bears and hired his friends to sell them. As a teen, he made and sold mixed tapes (ask your parents what those are), sorted baseball cards (he got paid in cards), babysat four-days-a-week after school, and sold nuts and dried fruit (and more gummy bears) in a neighborhood store.
As an adult, Brian helped build well-known, billion-dollar companies including IMAX Corporation and Coupons.com. Then he watched his oldest daughter struggle to sell Girl Scout cookies and he also became frustrated with some of the less-than-empowering influences he saw for his two girls. So he bought a copy of Writing Children’s Books for Dummies and decided to write a novel series to inspire girls to open their first lemonade stands or other businesses and to empower them with an entrepreneurial mindset. The first book in The Startup Squad series was released by Macmillan in May, 2019 and the second book - Face The Music has just been released in May 2020.
Brian is the Founder and Chief Squad Officer of The Startup Squad, an initiative dedicated to empowering girls to realize their potential and follow their dreams, whatever their passion. The Startup Squad is his first book and is co-authored with Nicole C. Kear. Brian lives in Silicon Valley and can often be found eating gummy bears with his wife while watching his two daughters sell lemonade from the end of their driveway.

Michael Arterberry is the Executive Director of Youth Voices Center, Inc. and the creator of the Power of Peace Program, a dynamic motivational speaker and the author of Be Encouraged: 250 Days of Motivation and Encouragement. This is episode 304 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
As a teenager, Michael was fortunate to receive guidance from positive adult role models who helped him overcome adversities and set high expectations for his future. Grateful for the role these mentors played in his own development, Michael decided to dedicate his professional life to helping people navigate the difficulties of life and launch their future into motion.
In founding YVC - Youth Voices Center - in 2008, Michael drew heavily on his understanding and empathy for the pressures and difficulties of the teenage years. In addition to his own experiences growing up in poverty, Michael has worked with thousands of teens in a range of settings over the past 24 years as a social worker and counselor.
Michael decided to form Youth Voices Center while working on the Alternative to Violence Project (AVP) in Green Haven Correctional Facility. Serving as a counselor in AVP, Michael was impressed by the progress of inmates who entered the program with plenty of hesitation and resistance and left the program raving about how much it transformed their perception of themselves and others. Realizing the power of this type of experiential program, Michael founded YVC and launched the Power of Peace program to transform the lives of youth.
In 2010, Michael was selected to receive a USA Network Characters Unite Award, given to individuals who demonstrate exceptional commitment to combating prejudice and discrimination while increasing tolerance and acceptance within their community.
In 2014, he was the recipient of the 100 Men of Color Award for leadership in education, government, mentorship, entrepreneurial success and community service.
And in 2016, Michael was awarded the EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD from Y-COP, the Youth Community Outreach Program in Mt. Vernon.
Michael is also the subject of his wife’s book, “God Was Holding My Hand,” in which Rachel Arterberry chronicles his journey of coming to know the Lord. Spanning from his tumultuous childhood, to a college football injury that turned into spinal cord surgery, Michael becomes self aware that God was holding his hand each step of the way.

Michael S. Daigle discusses creating characters, writing, and his latest thriller - The Red Hand. This is episode 302 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
For 33 years, Michael S. Daigle was a journalist and editor at several newspapers in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maine. He's applied his experience as a newsman to become an award-winning novelist. His newest book, The Red Hand, zeroes in on a serial killer that's tracked by a detective, Frank Nagler, as he solves crimes and tries to sort out his troubled life.
"I like creating messy mysteries with lots of moving parts and layers of story," says Daigle. "It lets my detective hero, Frank Nagler lead the reader through the twists and turns."
Daigle's modern mysteries are page-turners, filled with compelling characters and a setting that is more character than background. The hero detective is a recognizable American character. The Red Hand confronts the world of haves and have-nots. Nagler feels he is one of the have-nots, and it encourages his defense of common people. He shows how the impact of societal and economic change impacts a town and people.
Great read!

Brittany Riddick talks with me about her novel - The Writ 212. This is episode 301 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Brittany Riddick is the author of The Writ 212. She currently is an assistant principal at Shiloh Elementary School in Snellville, Georgia and has been in the field of education for over 16 years.
When asked what has inspired her book The Writ 212, she said, “Being an educator for as long as I have has allowed me to see changes and shifts in students' behaviors. One of the biggest shifts is how much technology has impacted not only the field of education, but the actual student. It has become more obvious to me that students are growing more addicted to devices. They even appear to have ‘withdrawal’ symptoms when forced to do work that does not require a device. It is important, as educators, that we do not substitute authentic teaching and relationships for technology. We must have a balance. We have to get our parents to understand the importance of building relationships and not placing children in front of a screen. Technology is amazing, but I fear that our “abuse” of technology is having an adverse effect on our relationships with people, especially our children.”
The Writ 212 is a faith-based science fiction book. It shows how the creation of an app leads to the end of the world by killing off a group called the YSW (Youth of the Second World). Jah, the creator, uses the app to destroy the YSW only saving two groups of people; the Elders (older people who don’t have much use for technology) and the unexposed (infants who have never seen technology). Jah uses these two groups of individuals to begin the Third World (New Age). But when a villager of the Third World finds a working device from the Second World, he unlocks secrets that cause a rift in what was once a peaceful community. The villagers of Eirene soon feel torn between their faithfulness to Jah or knowing the secrets of the Second World.

Today Jeffrey Marshall talks with me about writing techniques, writing style, and his thrilling mystery book - Undetected. This is episode 299 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Jeffrey Marshall has spent many years reporting on facts and truth for various newspapers and publications, including The New York Times and the Associated Press. Once part of a team nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for reporting, he now has turned his attention to fiction and has just released a psychological thriller that involves a narcissist and sociopath and revolves around a family in an affluent community where things are not what they seem. This riveting thriller takes us into the lives of the 1% -- and why their relationships and problems really mirror the 99%.
Jeffrey is a retired journalist and the author of three books, including Little Miss Sure Shot - a historical novel about Annie Oakley. He has been published widely in newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times and New Jersey Monthly, and was at various times a reporter, editor, feature writer, columnist, and book reviewer.
A little about Undetected
Suzy Perry, a lovely, accomplished older woman, has married into a new family in Westchester County, N.Y after being widowed not long before in Atlanta.
Her new husband, Dean Perry, is besotted with her, but his son Alex and daughter-in-law Lisa are troubled by how little they know about her. Who is she?
Little by little, clues and tidbits of information persuade Alex that he needs to know more.
As the questions pile up, Alex, a journalist, elects to hire a private detective to probe Suzy’s past, without informing his father.
Over time, it becomes clear that Suzy changed her name when she moved to Atlanta -- and that she had been married for many years to a car dealer in Missouri who died suddenly shortly before she left.
Is all this innocent, or something more sinister? Once circumstantial, the evidence becomes more concrete -- and then Suzy is on the run.
Jeff has a bachelor's degree from Princeton and a master's in journalism from Northwestern.
His interests include tennis, golf, fly-fishing, travel, hiking and movies. He and his wife, Judy, have two rambunctious dogs, Maggie and Blaze.

Today I'm talking with Hannah Stevens the author of Borneo Experience. Hannah and I talk about her writing, traveling, and her desire to help protect endangered wildlife. This is episode 298 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, my audio podcast. Here is a little about Borneo Experience…
For the past several years Jeanie Williams, former war correspondent-turned-wildlife activist has been traveling the world reporting on the plight of the wildlife on our planet. After having been on assignment in New Zealand, South Island, she was ready to return home when her boss at WorldCorp News in New York City contacted her and asked if she would travel to Sabah, Borneo to report on pet trafficking of the wildlife in that region. When he told her about orangutan babies being ripped from their mother’s arms, she could not resist. Once she arrives, however, she finds the problem more complex than she ever imagined and the powerful trafficking cartel is again trying to thwart her efforts to tell the world about the cruelty they inflict on the animals.
This is the fourth in a series of mysteries by Hannah Stevens based on her world travels. The first was Murder on Safari, set in Kenya, Africa, then Iceberg Murders, which takes place on the Antarctic Peninsula and most recently, Bird House Adventures, based in New Zealand, South Island.
Hannah Stevens, author, is also a freelance travel writer, writing for publications locally and nationwide under her real name Elaine Mays. After a long career as a software design engineer with several large corporations, Elaine wrote and has published seven novels under the pen name of Hannah Stevens; The President’s Wife, the sequel Madam POTUS, She Sleeps with Dogs, Murder on Safari, The Iceberg Murders, Bird House Adventure in New Zealand, and now Borneo Experience.

Tre was born and raised in South Bend Indiana where football was his first love, and it carried him to his first dream - To play division 1 college football!
He recalls that his dream taught him a lot, “all we did was lose and half the time I rode the bench. Fortunately, while I didn’t fit on the field I found my way off the field - Committing my time to diversity affairs, global perspectives, and decision making. These experiences made me well rounded and helped me realize my ambition to add value to everybody I have a conversation with. I didn’t decide to chase my dream until one of my professor’s asked, If money was no object what would you do with your life?”
Tre says, “When you see someone live their dream it makes you want to help them reach that dream or live your own. Every day I wake up and do what I love to and leave a blueprint for the next generation. “
Tre founded The Gammage Consulting Group. Its primary service is helping K – 12 schools implement social and emotional learning programs. He uses a 5 step process that takes you from managing multiple behavior systems to one school wide framework that supports growth in Students and Educators.

As math faculty with over 20 years of experience in high school and college classrooms, she brings her love of math and helping students succeed in college to every project she works on.

Through that work, she traveled the country providing professional development to support faculty with its innovative pedagogy, worked throughout Illinois to change state-level policies that affected acceptance of the course, and co-authored a textbook, Math Lit, to support faculty teaching the course.
She initially learned how to lead and effect change through her work leading her college’s complete developmental math redesign.

Karen Gross discusses her article " Schools and Colleges Are Not Light Switches" and her newest book - Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door: Strategies and Solutions for Educators, PreK - College (TCPress, June 2020).
Last week in episode 288 Karen talked about her children's story - "Wrinkles Doesn't Like Social distancing and I Don't Blame Him." This week Karen is back to talk about the planning that needs to start now to get ready to reopen our schools and colleges. According to Karen, "Whether institutions reopen sooner rather than later, we need to plan for these reopenings rather than just flipping the switch and expecting we can return to where we were pre-pandemic. Would that it were that simple."
We also spend some time talking about the trauma that adults and students are experiencing now that needs to be considered and addressed because it doesn't just go away and things go back to how they were before. She takes some time to talk about her newest book - Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door and how it can help teachers and administrators figure out how to address the needs of their staff, colleagues, peers, friends, and students.
By the way, the publisher TCPress has generously offered a wonderful gift for listeners of this podcast: If you order Karen's book Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door and use this code TLL2020 you will get 15% off the book and free shipping. make sure you take advantage of this.

The permanent divide between her and her husband led to a shattering of their family as the children settled into separate camps. The story begins when Nancy and her children have little to eat. Through a miraculous intervention, God provides—and leads them along their way. Other interventions and more guidance came from people of different denominations, illustrating Christ’s love through the larger Church. This is episode 286 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Nancy notes, “I was a single mother with five children under the age of 14. We endured hard days, what I call “the lean years.” Yes, there were programs to help, but in many ways, those programs were designed to make us permanent fixtures in an impersonal system. They were designed to make us stand still in life.”
“But another factor made all the difference for us. It was the ministry we received from Christians of various faith traditions. Because needs aren’t always material. A welfare check doesn’t heal the kinds of wounds divorce and poverty cause. But the love of Christ does."
This type of ministry doesn’t make you stand still in life. Instead, it lifts you to a new place. It doesn’t just provide. It encourages. It brings healing. And it showed me that the Church is bigger than I thought”
Restoring the Shattered: Illustrating Christ's Love Through the Church in One Accord will inspire you.
Nancy has created an easy to read book that makes you want to know what happens next.

Today, Michele McPhee talks to us about her books Maximum Harm (Boston Marathon murders) and Operation Mean Streets (The threat to our schools and communities from the gang MS-13). This is episode 283 of Teaching Learning Leading K12. ( She had just presented at a state principal's conference.)
Best selling author, Emmy-nominated investigative reporter and award-winning journalist Michele McPhee has spent two decades covering terrorism, murder, mobsters, and corruption for television, newspapers and radio.
McPhee’s investigative work has led to gunpoint threats delivered by angry Boston mobsters, a frightening encounter on KKK-protected dirt roads in Arkansas, threats from gang bangers, and IRS audits. She chased Gianni Versace’s killer around South Beach, Miami; snuck into John Gotti’s wake in Queens, New York; and posed as a mob moll with an undercover NYPD detective targeting fight fixing in Las Vegas.
She was also on the ground at the scene of two terror attacks on American soil. McPhee was among the first reporters at Ground Zero when two human-filled bombs hurtled into the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. She was also a witness to the carnage unleashed by two homegrown terrorists who detonated two pressure cooker bombs secreted in backpacks placed in the crowd along the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013 and is currently at work on a book about the FBI’s involvement with accused bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
McPhee is the author of five true crime books, including A Mob Story the book notorious Boston mobster Whitey Bulger had on his bookshelf at his Santa Monica hideout.
McPhee was the Boston producer for ABC News working in the Brian Ross Investigative Unit and has broken multiple national stories regarding New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez and his murderous past. She was the first reporter in the country to obtain a picture of accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s anti-American missive scribbled on the side of a Watertown boat where he hid for hours during a massive police manhunt. She also traveled to Montreal to interview, with Brian Ross, the world’s most sophisticated counterfeiter of US $20 bills and covered the trial of Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger.
McPhee was the Police Bureau Chief for the New York Daily News for nearly a decade and has covered high-profile crime cases nationally and internationally, including the death of Princess Diana.
She has been a commentator on breaking news for national programs on ABC World News, CNN; MSNBC; and the Fox News Network.
She is the recipient of many journalism awards, including the Society of the Silurian’s Feature News Award for her New York Daily News 9-11 coverage. She was awarded First Place for Serious Column in the Boston Herald by the Associated Press. Her work for ABC Boston affiliate WCVB earned her a 2012 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Investigative Reporting.

We talk about their organization PRAC-E, teachers, and teaching in Australia, England, and the US. Lots to learn. Thanks for listening. Don't forget that this is part 2 of a two part series. Episode 281 is part one. So take a moment and listen to part 1 first. You won't be disappointed. This is one of my all time favorite interviews. Liam and Scott are amazing!!!
PRAC-E was founded in 2018 in Australia, by Liam D. Auliciems and Scott Harding, after they could not withstand the growing statistics of the ‘teacher drought’ any longer. Join us in part 1 of a two part series as we talk about the teacher drought, PRAC-E, teachers, and teaching. This has to be one of my all time favorite talks - ever! Liam and Scott are amazing! Thanks for listening! This is episode 281 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
PRAC-E is an initiative to support beginning teachers through best in class digital media and in-person symposium events.
PRAC-E is made by teachers, for teachers.
PRAC-E has connected with some of Australia’s leading Universities and have also independently run several PRAC-E Symposiums, where a varied panel of educators aim to demystify the profession for beginning teachers in a Q&A format.
PRAC-E also creates regular digital media, such as the #ASKPRAC-ENANYTHING and Teach Hack Challenge video series, as well as the PRAC-E Podcast.
Through this content, PRAC-E has connected with several notable people to spread its message. This exposure includes a primetime story feature on the national ABC News, collaborations with influential teacher media creators, as well as a guest appearance on the Teachers Need Teachers Podcast, and EduMagic podcast in the U.S. PRAC-E’s aim is to support beginning teachers, to create a budding community and to bring an end to the teacher drought.
Bio for Liam D. Auliciems Liam D. Auliciems is an education entrepreneur, academic researcher, registered teacher and a postgrad Masters student from Australia. After seeing first-hand the dismal state of affairs of beginning teachers across the world, Liam co-founded PRAC-E to help find a solution to the ‘teacher drought’. Liam has had a varied experience during his short time in the teaching profession, from being a Residential Tutor in one of Brisbane’s largest private schools, to volunteering his time to support some of Australia’s lowest socio-economic students. Liam hopes to be an agent of change in the educational sphere, to disrupt the status quo and challenge traditional ideals of pedagogy and student care.
Bio for Scott Harding Scott Harding has been dubbed the ‘educational all-rounder’ due to his wealth of experience in the teaching profession. Through his 22+ years in the classroom, Scott has had first-hand experience in every type of school you could imagine, from co-ed/single sex, private/public in both his home country of England and Australia. Scott has an undying passion for mentoring beginning teachers and has begun numerous ventures to ‘send the elevator back down’. Scott has a seemingly never-ending supply of poignant anecdotes, practical advice and entertaining stories, all of which carry important lessons for beginning teachers. Scott is currently a senior teacher in one of Brisbane’s quickest moving independent schools, and teaches English and French at the Secondary level.

David Miletto completes his talk with me today as we learn more about his art, the help he is seeking and a little more about Lynda. This is episode 280 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.
This is the conclusion of my interview with David Miletto. Over the four episodes he talked about his Italian heritage, shared family stories, recalled thoughts about growing up in and around Chicago, related his memories of coming of age from the late 1950's through the early 1970's and explained his ideas about his works of art. I hope that you see an opportunity not to just listen to someone share their life experiences but also think about how students could use interviews as such to help them better understand the past.
David recently published his story about his 25 year relationship with Lynda that you heard him mention during the interviews. His book is called "Images of an Idea Lost." See the link below to get a copy from Apple Books.
Our talk took place over four episodes which spanned several months just as the original interviews took place over several meetings. Go back to episodes 269, 271, and 277 to listen to David's story from the beginning. See the links below.

David Miletto was a child in the '50s, a teenager in the 60's and in his twenties in the 1970's. He lived through some amazing years in the United States and he shares his thoughts about many different topics. In this episode, David shares some stories from his college days, recalls his thoughts about some journeys he took with friends, and he starts to introduce us to a wonderful relationship that begins to develop. At the end of the show, David talks about the help that he is in need of to try to finish his latest work of art. Maybe you might be able to help him?
Remember that this is episode 3. It would be awesome if you hadn't completed episodes 1 & 2 yet that you go back and listen to the beginning of this 4 part series.
So check out Episodes 269 & 271, if you haven't listened to the first two parts of the four-part interview.
By the way, David just released his e-book - Images of an Idea Lost(Apple Books)
As a classroom teacher, my hope is that you will be able to use some of his comments about life in the past as a way of getting your students to create a better understanding of the importance of asking questions of those who were there: in this case, Chicagoland area in the 50s and 60s…(by the way the journey will also take us to Texas, Florida, maybe Las Vegas, and Italy...even Wisconsin). Too often textbooks leave out the emotions and the true feelings of the people of the era.
What do you think? I am sure that you could use this to engage your students in discussions about the past.
Primary sources of information provide us opportunities to learn without the bias of the editors. This multi-part series provides an awesome learning opportunity for the students in your classes.

part 1 - Episode 269.

Eleanor Cripps shares her book - "The Countess Choir Woman" with us today on episode 276 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Imagine a wronged woman receiving a new chance at life. This is the scenario that plays out in the debut historical fiction, The Countess Choir Woman, by Eleanor Cripps. It is a dramatic and captivating real-life story from several centuries ago that resonates with many of us today.
Eleanor is sharing a unique story of an 18th-century woman who unwittingly submitted to unforeseen circumstances, and upon reaching a breaking point, chose prolonged cruel imprisonment over sacrificing her dignity. It is a moving but shocking story that has never been told. The author retells it in her book: The Countess Choir Woman.
The Countess Choir Woman is an authentic look at Austria in the 1700s and the history of the famed Abbey of Goss (a contemplative order of choir women from noble families) as a tale of morality, courage, and conviction to one’s faith.
Eleanor, who hails from the Austrian town of Loeben, discovered the historical events that inspired the book at a class reunion.
Born in Austria, she learned English, French, and Italian. She worked for five years in South Africa and then worked for two years in Myanmar as a trilingual secretary and a delegate for the German Trade Information Service.
She later lectured about Hinayana Buddhism before taking a job with the now-defunct Pan Am World Airways. She migrated to America and got her real estate license, serving the industry for 30 years. She now resides in Falls Church, Virginia.
Thanks for listening!

Mikhal Dekel discusses her book Tehran Children: A Holocaust Refugee Odyssey (W.W. Norton & Company, 2019). This is episode 274 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast for educators.
Mikhal Dekel was born in Haifa, Israel, to a Holocaust refugee father and an Israeli-born mother. Over the course of seven intense years, she completed her mandatory military service, earned an L.L.B. from Tel Aviv University’s Buchmann School of Law, interned at the Tel Aviv State Attorney’s Office and joined the Israel Bar Association, before deciding to take a complete break.
In New York, where Mikhal traveled to regroup, she worked odd jobs, sat for hours at the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) before Manet’s Water Lilies, and eventually began a graduate program in English at the City College of New York and then a Doctoral program at Columbia University.
She now lives in Manhattan with her family, teaches English and Comparative Literature at the City College and the CUNY Graduate Center, and directs CCNY’s Rifkind Center for the Humanities and Arts.
Tehran Children: A Holocaust Refugee Odyssey (2019) is the culmination of Mikhal’s decade-long journey to understand her father and the odyssey at the core of his young adulthood—an experience which he never talked about, though it informed every aspect of his being.
His wartime odyssey was also part of a larger chapter in the history of World War II, that of refugees in Central Asia and the Middle East. The fact that most Polish Jews who survived the war had followed this path was virtually unknown at the time when she began writing.
At CCNY, Mikhal teaches courses on Literature and Theory of Migrations; the Historical Memoir; Representations of Trauma; Law and Literature, and other topics.
Mikhal also directs the Rifkind Center for the Humanities and Arts at CCNY, which under her leadership has supported faculty research, awarded fellowships and hosted talks, conferences and interdisciplinary seminars that seek to broaden the academic conversation.

In his new book, Tafolla Toro: Three Years of Fear (2019), Lorenzo Gomez III reaches back in time to share stories of his turbulent, traumatic, and often violent middle school years in one of San Antonio’s most crime-riddled neighborhoods. This is episode 272 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Lorenzo opens up to reveal the fear, anxiety, and hopelessness he felt as a teenager and how those forces shaped his life until he began taking steps as an adult to improve his mental health.
Alternating between shocking stories from his youth and letters written to his 12-year-old self, Lorenzo shows young people how to retake the battle of their mind by dealing with what is true and dismantling the lies that lead to self-deception. In Lorenzo’s journey, readers will see someone who understands what they feel, knows what they’re going through, and is standing up to tell them: Decide today that you are worthy.
Lorenzo Gomez III overcame his mental health obstacles to become a proud participant in the transformation of the city he loves—San Antonio.
He’s the chairman of Geekdom, Texas’s largest coworking space, the co-founder of the 80/20 Foundation and Tech Bloc, and has served on the board of several non-profits, including SA2020 and City Education Partners.
Lorenzo is also the author of The Cilantro Diaries, which quickly became a bestseller (and required reading at Texas A&M) when it was published in 2017.

David Miletto is an artist. He was a child in the 50s, a teenager in the 60s, and in the late 60s- early 70s a college student. This is episode 271 of Teaching Learning Leading K12 which is part 2 of a multi-part series of interviews with David. We talk about being an Italian American, living in the era, Chicago, family stories and life in general. At the end of each episode, David describes a project he is working on and the help that he is seeking to make it come alive.
He has always been one of my favorite uncles. I think you will see why.
David has an incredible sense of humor. He also is an amazing cook who makes some of the most amazing dishes!
As a classroom teacher, my hope is that you will be able to use some of his comments about life in the past as a way of getting your students to create a better understanding of the importance of asking questions of those who were there: in this case, Chicagoland area in the 50s and 60s…(by the way the journey will also take us to Texas, Florida, maybe Las Vegas, and Italy...even Wisconsin). Too often textbooks leave out the emotions and the true feelings of the people of the era.
What do you think? I am sure that you could use this to engage your students in discussions about the past.
Primary sources of information provide us opportunities to learn without the bias of the editors. This multi-part series provides an awesome learning opportunity for the students in your classes.

If not being able to read was a disease, it would be an epidemic.
Millions of Americans can’t read but illiteracy often goes unacknowledged or unnoticed. If you are the parent or teacher of a child who struggles with reading, you know the painful way that illiteracy steals their confidence and robs them of the joy that comes from learning.
William Manzanares IV – a member of the Puyallup Tribe in Washington state – wrote I Can’t Read: A Guide to Success Through Failure (2019) to give the literacy conversation a much-needed jumpstart.
William, who grew up unable to read and later learned he had dyslexia, overcame these obstacles and transformed himself into a successful serial entrepreneur. In this inspirational story, William shares strategic superpowers that worked for him in the hopes it will improve literacy for those who can’t read. The book includes personal anecdotes to inspire kids everywhere – especially young Native Americans – to pursue their dreams. He is a serial entrepreneur, having owned and operated successful businesses since 2005. William is passionate about helping small business owners as well as struggling readers. To that end, he spends much of his time speaking with students about career planning and goal setting.

David Miletto is an artist. He has an amazing talent for bringing ideas to life. This is episode 269 of Teaching Learning Leading K12 and the first part of a multi-part interview with David as we talk about Italian heritage, family stories, Chicago, life in the 50's-60's-70's, and art.
He also is one of my favorite uncles.
He has an incredible sense of humor. He is an amazing cook who makes his own pasta and I swear I can sense when he is cooking...awesome aromas!
And I always remember him having an interesting comment or two that would make me think… “Like in the 80s when he asked me which of my music groups I think will still be relevant in 20 years.”
Or him practicing his spoken Italian and talking about the family history... You have never lived until you have experienced him driving through the toll booths of Chicago! He also is an avid baseball and Whitesox fan…
This interview is focused on David as a primary source of information. He lived through some amazing aspects of our country. This will be a multipart show.
In the first episode, we will share some family history and then talk about being a child in the 50s and early 60s.
As a classroom teacher, my hope is that you will be able to use some of his thoughts and comments about life in the past as a way of getting your students to hear the thoughts of someone who was there...Chicagoland area in the 50s and 60s…(by the way the journey will also take us to Texas, Florida, maybe Las Vegas, and Italy...even Wisconsin)...part two and three will bring us through the turbulent teenage years and the late 60s, and then into some events in later years of his life.
Remember David is an artist and at the end of each episode, we will journey into some of his work and a special request for assistance with a project that he is trying to take to the next level and complete.

Kevin Stoller is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kay-Twelve, the author of the book Creating Better Learning Environments, and the voice behind The Better Learning Podcast. Today, we talk about his book, the podcast, what a better learning environment looks like, and so much more.
Driven by his passion for enhancing the learning process, Kevin started Kay-Twelve in 2009. The underlying mission and philosophy of Kay-Twelve exemplify his commitment to improving the learning environment.
Kevin also is involved in several civic and industry groups, one of these programs works with kids to foster creativity and entrepreneurship.
Coupled with his experience in the contract furniture industry, Kevin Stoller has a B.S in Mass Communications from Miami University and an MBA from The Ohio State University.

Dr. Terrie Young, Amanda Amerson, and Margaret Higginbotham discuss IEP's and the IEP process with me on Teaching Learning Leading K12. Recently, I had a request from a listener to spend some time on this topic, so I want to say thank you for reaching out and here is a general discussion about IEPs and the IEP process.
Dr. Terrie Young is the Director of East Central Georgia Learning Resources System where she provides technical assistance and training on special education related topics to administrators, teachers, and support staff for the ten school districts in the Heart of Georgia RESA Region.
Amanda Amerson is a Program Specialist with East Central GLRS, where she provides professional learning on special education related topics to administrators, teachers and support staff for the ten school districts in the Heart of Georgia RESA Region.
Margaret Higginbotham is a fourth-year special education teacher at Montgomery County Elementary School. She has been teaching the Preschool Intervention Program since July 2015. She was awarded the 2016 Special Education Teacher of the Year during her first year at Montgomery County Elementary School by her peers and the 2020 Montgomery County Elementary School Teacher of the Year as well as the 2020 Montgomery County District Teacher of the Year. Margaret credits her success in the classroom from her knowledge of raising multiple children with significant disabilities as well as her leadership roles both locally and statewide. As the mother and educator of multiple children with disabilities, Margaret’s expectations are high for all of her students.
It was a pleasure talking with Terrie, Amanda, and Margaret. As we discussed IEPs it became evident that we would need to come back together for a future second part to this talk. So look for that to happen sometime in the near future.
By the way, have an idea for a show? Let me know, I will be happy to see what I can do to cover the topics you want to hear. You can email me at stevenmiletto@gmail.com

Todd Whitaker talks with me about teaching teachers and school-based administrators how to work with and talk with parents. His book "Dealing With Difficult Parents" (Routledge, 2016) written with Douglas J. Fiore is an awesome tool that every educator should take time to read and put into practice.

Why do you teach?
I recently watched an episode of the television show - Schooled (which I like by the way.) On this episode the question of teaching and why is a major part of the storyline. No spoilers...find it. It's a feel-good moment in the show. It got me thinking about why.
So here are three of the reasons why I taught and why I made my whole career about working with kids:
-
How many professionals have the possibility of making the positive impact that you can as an educator?
-
You get to work with so many different kids, different personalities, different needs, and different wants.
-
There is never a dull moment!
So take time to open your journal and write your three reasons why you teach.
Do that today and use your answers to keep you going and to keep you focused on those reasons when the times get rough.
You make a difference!
Enjoy!

This is the final part of my three episode discussion of lifelines for teachers. If a lifeline is that extra hand, that helping hand, that life preserver or pole or flotation device that keeps your head above water or keeps you from sliding down the hill then a lifeline in school is that person who reaches out to help you with your daily tasks. The peer or colleague who keeps you from drowning in your work. This assistance gets you caught up or helps you understand how to do something better or supports you in developing a skill that you needed.
Today, I have selected three examples to look at how to engage lifelines to make your work easier. In these examples, I share who and what a lifeline looks like. The samples I chose are:
-
Getting in touch with a parent.
-
Instructional help.
-
Classroom management.
In order to engage a lifeline though, a teacher needs to follow these 3 simple rules:
-
Be honest with you.
-
Be proactive.
-
Be willing to connect.
In episode 232, I shared 5 Reasons Why Teachers Need Lifelines:
-
Falling behind.
-
Not sure what to do.
-
Struggling with classroom management.
-
Peer interactions.
-
Parent interactions.
In episode 233, I shared 5 Ways that Lifelines Appear in Schools:
-
Peers within the school.
-
Administration.
-
Colleagues in professional organizations.
-
Colleagues connected through social media.
-
Colleagues connected through YouTube channels and audio podcasts.
I encourage you to find and engage a lifeline in your building as soon as you can.
Thanks for listening.
Please share the episode.

Classroom teachers need a lifeline from time to time.
A lifeline that we are typically familiar with is that rope and/or circular flotation device that is hanging on the fence at the local swimming pool. It may be that extra line that is carried by a hiker in case he gets into a tough spot. Maybe its that long pole with a hook on one end that hangs on a lifeguard's chair at the beach. These devices are all meant to pull someone out of trouble. Well, we need that for our teachers from time to time, too.
Ok, so it may not look exactly like a rope or a long pole or a flotation device but the lifeline I am talking about works pretty much the same way. In this case, though the lifelines are people (colleagues, peers, and more) seeking to help get the teacher out of the quicksand or the deep end of the pool or save him from the strong undertow.
Next time we will discuss who these lifelines are, this time I am focused on why they are needed. Here are my...

Today I am revisiting, Rigor in the RTI and MTSS Classroom: Practical Tools and Strategies (Routledge, 2018) with the authors Barbara R. Blackburn and Bradley S. Witzel.
In their book, the authors "show you how to develop rigorous RTI and MTSS programs that will support students and lead them to lasting success. Written in a clear, engaging style, Rigor in the RTI and MTSS Classroom offers an in-depth discussion of the issues facing students with academic problems as well as practical strategies for all teachers."
Barbara and I first talked about Rigor in the RTI and MTSS Classroom in episode 194. This topic is extremely popular and so we decided to revisit the content and this time the book's co-author, Bradley S. Witzel was able to join us.
Barbara and Brad explain RTI and MTSS and we talk about everything from why training on RTI and MTSS is needed as well as we look at some evidence-based strategies that can be used in the classroom.
We also take a look at a couple of the chapters and discuss all of the resources that the authors provided the readers.
Lots to learn today.
Thanks for listening and sharing.
Have a great day!

New Year's resolutions are difficult to keep. Actually, I think that is an understatement. For many, they are almost impossible to keep. But that shouldn't stop you from making them, it just means that you need to understand why they often fail and what steps you can take to do better at successfully attaining them. Did you know that one key factor in keeping resolutions is that you have to find some enjoyment in pursuing them?
As a classroom teacher or building administrator, we should have promises that we make ourselves. We should know what we need to do more of, be better at, or just try to do more of...right? Keep in mind that you want to identify something that you would find some enjoyment in learning or getting better at doing.
Here are three questions that you could ask yourself to help get you going in the right direction: (Be honest with yourself and it would be helpful to get yourself a journal and write these down and reflect on your answers.)
-
I want to learn more about ______________________.
-
I want to do better at __________________________.
-
I struggled this year with _______________________.
After answering these questions you can then create realistic goals that will help you be more successful in what you do every day to help kids achieve their dreams.
Here are some thoughts about what you might write in the blanks above:
-
Engagement
-
Contact with parents
-
Using formative assessment
-
Understanding more about and using differentiation successfully
-
Vocabulary acquisition
-
Put more stuff away
-
Classroom management
-
Seek out unique hooks for class instruction
-
Reach out to be involved in school or district committees
-
Take steps to connect with more of your students
-
Ask better questions
-
Identify which students may get overlooked because they are quiet and not easily involved in class
I'll bet you could double the number on this list. But don't get overwhelmed, just identify what you want to accomplish (remember to find that thing that you would enjoy doing or learning about), don't name too many, and set a reasonable/attainable goal. Give yourself a deadline to start and a deadline to check your progress. Next thing you know you will be successful in accomplishing your New Year's Resolution!
Happy 2019!

Teachers at Work: Designing Schools Where Teachers and Students Thrive focuses on what needs to happen in schools to make its teacher corps want to stay and inspire youth. In the introduction of the report, this is stated: “When teachers flourish as professionals in schools, they leave the classroom far less frequently and have significantly higher satisfaction.” Talia talked with me about this statement as well as much more concerning the future of schools, its students, and its teachers.
Under her leadership, 100Kin10 which is focused on training and producing 100,000 STEM teachers in 10 years is becoming a reality as more than 250 leading organizations from across sectors have come together to make the goal possible by 2021.
Talia is a frequent public speaker and moderator, focusing on social innovation, science and technology, education, philanthropy, and the tenuous balancing act that is running a start-up, being a mother and trying to have a life.
Widely known for her thought leadership, she has been published or profiled in The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, the Smithsonian, CNN Money, and US News and World Report.
Talia lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three children.

It's time to give thanks. It's Thanksgiving.
Normally, we are focused on sharing thanks with our families, our relatives, our immediate family members. But today, I am asking you to think about those one time strangers who made a difference in your life. I am asking you to think about those teachers, educators, or mentors who took an interest in you and helped you push through or succeed when you needed it. I'm talking about thinking about those individuals who went beyond what they get paid to do and helped you somehow or someway.
So do you have someone in mind? Does thinking about giving thanks this way make you think of more than one person? Hmmm, maybe you need to create a gratitude list and start sending handwritten notes and emails of thanks to those who positively impacted your life while you were in school.
Today, I share with you three of the people I would like to say thanks to:
-
7th Grade Bus Driver
-
5th Grade Teacher
-
11th and 12th Grade English Teachers.
I hope that you will stop and think about this and actually create your list and then reach out and say thanks.
Thanks for listening.

3 Scary (Ok, not really scary) Moments for a Teacher
There are times when a classroom teacher has to address some issues or take care of a situation that can really feel scary sometimes. Today, I'm sharing three of these types of moments and my thoughts about dealing with them.
-
It's Monday morning and the principal or your evaluator steps into your room to observe you teach.
-
A student challenges your authority.
-
You have to call a parent.
Today, I share some thoughts to help.
Thanks for listening.

Julia Freeland Fisher is the author of Who You Know: Unlocking Innovations That Expand Students’ Networks (Wiley, 2018). The book focuses on emerging tools and practices that leverage technology to radically expand who students know – their stock of “social capital” – by enhancing their access to and ability to navigate new peer, mentor, and professional networks.
Julia is the director of education research at the Clayton Christensen Institute. She leads a team that educates policymakers and community leaders on the power of disruptive innovation in the K-12 and higher education spheres through its research.
Join us as we have an awesome conversation concerning the importance of teaching kids about the power of connecting with others - networking. One of the awesome takeaways is that the teaching of networking needs to go beyond the skills and actually focus on helping the students find and become part of networks that they may have very little or no access to without help.
Who You Know: Unlocking Innovations That Expand Students’ Networks is an excellent read that will make you want to start counting the ways that you can integrate networking into your daily plans. This was an awesome talk that opened my eyes to a very real need.

Getting better at classroom management requires that you be specific in who you address for what off-task behaviors and that you handle it now. Today, I am talking about the inability of more shhh-ing and pleading to help you manage student behaviors in your class. Instead, you need to follow the next three guidelines:
-
Go to the specific person(s)
-
Follow your rules and consequences
-
Don't ignore the real issues
Thanks for listening.

It's Ok to Start Over - episode 85
Consequences - episode 86
Rules - episode 87

Taking attendance may seem like a mundane topic, but it is a requirement that must be completed else you might discover that the kids will get caught up in issues as I mentioned in episode 212.
If you develop a good procedure for taking attendance the process will help you (the classroom teacher) learn the names of the kids faster which pays off in behavior management and developing relationships with the kids.
So, one procedure that helps ...is extremely old school, but it still works. It's called the seating chart. It can help you save time. Here are my three thoughts about taking attendance:
-
Use a seating chart
-
Use a sheet protector
-
Get it done
I didn't have my own classroom for a bunch of years and had to travel from classroom to classroom. I had a cart and put all of my stuff in it. A veteran teacher taught me how to use this procedure to save time. He was so right and you will see that it will work for you, too.
Thanks for listening today.

Taking Attendance Using a Seating Chart
Episode 212 - Classroom Attendance: It's Important to Pay Attention and Follow-up
Length - 21:33
Keeping accurate classroom attendance is very important. It may not sound like a fun topic but it is one that needs to be taken seriously.
Frequently, it is not given the attention that it needs, Some colleagues may even try to pass off the responsibility to a trusted student (Don't do this.)
Today, I share 7 thoughts about taking attendance and especially explain why follow-up with a student and his family is important when the student misses class. I share a couple of stories that show exactly what can happen if the adults do not address that "sneaking suspicion" that something is just not right.
Thanks for listening.

It was great to have him back on Teaching Learning Leading K12. You can hear our original talk on episode 162 where we talk about his book the Visual Edge.

It's World Giraffe Day and Lady Lucy is back to help Giraffe with her Lady Lucy's Laugh Giraffe Journey written by Karen Gross and Marc Wine. Every June 21st is World Giraffe Day and this interview was released on June 21st, 2018 to celebrate the launch of Lady Lucy's latest adventure.
This journey is quite different from her last two in that this book is a joke book with many of the jokes written by kids. The story was published as a collaboration with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The foundation also helped to review the book to make sure that its facts were correct.
The book is filled with jokes that kids will have fun sharing, especially with their family. It also has several pages of giraffe fun facts and there is a parent-teacher guide to help with using the book as a learning tool.
Additionally, Karen is encouraging kids to submit names for the giraffe that are featured throughout the book and there will be an auction of this giraffe collection. The proceeds of the auction will benefit children who cannot afford the books as well as the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Part of the profits of book sales will also be contributed to GCF.
The book is colorful and fun! Kids are sure to get a kick out of the many wonderful jokes. I'm sure adults will chuckle right along with the kids.
I had fun talking with Karen about Lady Lucy's Laugh Giraffe Journey and I think you will enjoy listening and reading the book.
Happy World Giraffe Day - June 21st.

Lady Lucy's Quest is the first in a series of children's books written by Karen Gross. In this story, Lady Lucy wants to be a knight but the odds are stacked against her. She has to show endurance, strength, and courage. Karen shares that the story is really about "believing in the power of the possible and dreaming big."
Lady Lucy is a tribute to a real life woman - Lady Lucy Duff Gordon who was a fashion designer from the late 1800's and early 1900's. She was one of the first women to advertise in a clothing catalogue. She and her husband - Cosmo - were on the Titanic when it sunk. They make a brief appearance in the James Cameron film from a few years back called - Titanic.
On today's episode we talk about Lady Lucy's development, why a children's series, what she hopes readers will take away and who Lady Lucy really is or was. I even ask her if she is Lady Lucy.
We also talk about her latest book - Lady Lucy's Dragon Quest and the books that are on the way...Lady Lucy's Unique Unicorn Quest, Lady Lucy's Giraffe Laugh Book, and Lady Lucy's Peace Quest.
The Giraffe book is co-sponsored by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation and will be released on World Giraffe Day on June 21, 2018.

When you finish your day of teaching do you take time to reflect on what happened? Do you take time to say this worked and this didn't and I think I will try this next time?
You should.
Yes, I know we all have so much stuff to get done plus we sponsor activities and have families...I know.
But this doesn't take hours.
Find about 30 minutes...get your daily and unit plans. Find a quiet place and think about what you were trying to do for the day and where you are trying to go and ask yourself some questions...plus write it down.
Here are my thoughts about reflecting at the end of the day:
-
Get a journal.
-
Set aside time.
-
Grab your daily and unit lesson plans.
-
Find a quiet place.
-
Reflect on the day:
Ask yourself these questions...
-What were you trying to do?
-What worked?
-What failed?
-What could you have done differently?
-What will you do next?
-What individual challenges did you have?
-Were there specific group challenges?
- Put in writing what you will try to address these challenges.
Happy reflecting!

Better instruction requires planning. Planning comes in two main types for the classroom: unit and daily.
Today, I discuss my thoughts about 10 essential elements that need to be included in your unit planning:
-
Start with the end in mind.
-
Create a time frame.
-
Identify what you will teach (content).
-
Develop how you will teach (instructional strategies).
-
Identify resources you will need.
-
Identify essential vocabulary.
-
Develop how you will teach the vocabulary.
-
Create opportunities for learning what the students know and don't know.
-
Make notes about student individual needs.
-
Create a system for identifying what can be eliminated to create more time.
Unit planning is essential for staying focused on what you want the kids to learn. Use these 10 ingredients with your unit planning and you will have better results.
Happy planning.

Today we are talking about his book (written with Ian Jukes and Nicky Mohan) Reinventing Learning for the Always-On Generation: Strategies and Apps that Work (Solution Tree, 2015.) He is the author of three other books and has a couple more in the works.
Reinventing Learning, an IPPY award winner for its contributions as a resource book for educators, is an incredible tool that focuses on 9 attributes that educators should understand when working with the Always-On Generation. We take some time to talk about the 9 attributes and take a deep dive into three of them:
Attribute #4 is my favorite - It states, "Digital learners prefer to network and collaborate simultaneously with many others."
6 - "Digital learners prefer just in time learning."
And # 9 - Digital learners prefer learning that is simultaneously relevant, active, useful, and fun."

Jim was born in Dooley County, Georgia in 1923. This is the part 4 of 4. This episode focuses on his early business ventures following WWII and into the 1960's.
In this segment listen for Jim to talk about working while at Princeton and graduating with honors.
He recollects how he took a job after graduating but eventually realized that the only way to make real money was to own his own business.
He then partnered with a friend in the baking business in Atlanta and this eventually lead to being bought out by a large player in the industry - PET.
Jim discusses the ups and downs of staying with PET and his success leads him to purchase Standard Candy in 1980.
As you listen think about what drive and push Jim had to have to build the small fudge bakery into a successful business that attracted the larger company.
Next week I will revisit the whole interview - parts 1-4- and conclude with some thoughts about the use of primary sources in your classrooms.
Many thanks to Mr. Spradley for spending time with me.

Last week you heard Jim talk about the importance of education in his life. This week Jim talks about his experience in the Navy and his role in World War II.
Remember that Jim is a primary source. He is recalling his experience.
How could you use his thoughts and comments about his service time to draw kids into wanting to more about those times?
Think about the journey that he went on from south Georgia to finally join the war. How could you make this into an activity that would hook the kids and make them want to know more?
There were many words and phrases that you would need to explain like "being drafted" or "shopkeeper" or "mutton" or "PT-Boat".
What about him eventually achieving a degree in economics from Princeton University?
Think about his comments related to the ending of the war with Germany and its allies and then the surrender of Japan. What did he think?
Hope that this episode gave you great information for creating an awesome classroom experience.
Thanks for listening.
Next week is part 4 of this 4 part series with Mr. Jim Spradley.
Take care.

This is part 3 of my interview of Jim Spradley. Today we are talking about his military experience in World War II.
Here are some samples from our discussion:
How Jim ended up in the Navy.
What he was trained to do and where he was eventually dropped in the Pacific theater of the War.
Nobody wanted to volunteer for submarines.
What they ate and why the Army soldiers really liked getting mutton.
What it was like when the announcement came that Germany had surrendered.
His transition from war to college.
The college he attended after the war was Princeton where he eventually completed his degree in Economics.
One of the biggest moments in his service was the day that he heard____________ .
What was expected if the war carried itself to the Japanese mainland.
What happened when Japan surrendered.
This talk is filled with potential for engaging activities. What do you think?
Here are some words/phrases that the kids would need to understand when you discuss Jim's comments: draft, Navy, storekeeper as a military position, PT boats, torpedo boats, mutton, equator, c-rations, and celebration mode.
Also, how about helping the kids look at where he was when he was drafted in Dooly County, Georgia. Think about where his travels took him next: Macon and Rhode Island to California to the Pacific which included New Guinea, the Phillipines, and Japan.
Thanks for listening.
Enjoy.

This is my reflection on part 2 of my interview with Jim Spradley. If you haven't listened to Part 1, it is episode 166.
His focus during this segment of the interview is the importance of school.
He wanted to go to school. He talks about the desire to hear his teacher read the chapters from Black Beauty.
So the point of my reflection is to help you revisit what Jim said. I especially want to plant seeds for creating engaging activities for the classroom.
Check out my thoughts.
How could you use what Jim talks about to help your kids better understand what was going on in south Georgia in the 1920s and 1930s.
By the way, one of my favorite comments has to do with Jim explaining to his dad that he has a test and must go to school.
Thanks for listening.
Next week will be part 3 of my interview with Jim.
Take care.

This is part 2 of my interview with Jim Spradley. He was born in 1923 in south Georgia.
He is in his 90's. Today we are talking about education and a desire to go to school.
Jim mentions books that made an impact on him when he was young. He liked the stories of the hero making it to the top by working hard.
He discusses his father allowing him to go to school but that when he got home from school he changed clothes to do his chores.
Jim shares thoughts about teachers celebrating kids who did something great! He comments that many of the older boys talked about getting old enough to quit school not school as a way out.
Enjoy this new segment of my interview of Jim Spradley.
Make sure that you listen past when we say goodbye. We talk a little longer.
Next week I will have a short episode as I reflect on Jim's comments in part two.

In episode 165 I talked about the upcoming series of shows that would be focused on my interview with Mr. Jim Spradley. In the first segment of the interview (episode 166), Jim shares his thoughts about growing up in rural Dooly County (south Georgia). He was born in 1923.
Today, I am focused on reflecting on some of what Jim talked about.
Think about how you could use Jim's comments to help your classes understand what it was like living in south Georgia in the 1920s and 30s.
How could you use his comments to create an engaging activity?
Next week will be part two of Jim's interview.
Length: 7:52
Mr. Jim Spradley was born in 1923. He was the child of sharecroppers in Dooly County, Georgia.
This is the first part of my interview with Jim. At the time of this interview he was 91 years old. (By the way, one of his dogs was sitting with him on the couch, from time to time you can hear the dog at his side.)
This episode is focused on growing up in rural Georgia.
Our talk is an excellent source of information for generating discussions with students about life in rural Georgia on farms.
You will hear Jim- also known as Watson and Bud- recall going to school, buying supplies, working on the farm, and daily life.
Food for thought... How could you use Jim's recollections of his life to create an engaging activity for your classes?
He talks about overalls, sharecropper, mules, cotton, and much more. Could you use these words to help explain life on a farm in rural Georgia?
Listen to his story about not wearing shoes for the class picture. What did the boys try to get away with and why?
At the conclusion of this episode we even talk about needing to see a doctor.
By the way, at the beginning of the episode, you hear Jim mentioning an interaction with a WWI veteran who he ran into just before he shipped out to WWII. He was worried about what was going to happen and whether he would return and the gentleman wanted to tell him stories about WWI. He promised himself that he would never tell boring stories of how he won the war. I think that you will discover that these stories are far from boring.
Thanks for listening.
Enjoy!

Do you take time to explain the difference between primary and secondary sources of information to your classes?
Do you require the kids to learn to use primary sources not just secondary?
Today I will introduce you to the difference between primary and secondary sources. Then, in the coming weeks, I will share my interview with Mr. Jim Spradley.
At the time of my interview he was 91 years old. He has lived life. He is the children of sharecroppers in south Georgia. He was in the US Navy in the Pacific Theater during World War II. After the war, he focued on starting a business to make a living. He was quite successful.
This is the first episode of a five part series. I hope that you will be inspired as well as think about how you could use this interview to help engage the kids in your classes.
Thanks for listening.

Do you give homework?
If so, do you know why you give homework?
Today's discussion centers around questioning why we give homework.
I talk about 3 great reasons for giving homework and 5 problematic reasons.
Additionally, I speak to understanding that when homework is assigned you may not know who is actually doing the work (like a friend or a parent) as well as if the kids are simply doing the work to get it done or actually improving their understanding of the content.
I also spend a little time around the choices that kids make when confronted with too much homework.
I hope that you will revisit why you give homework and make sure that you are focused on good, appropriate practices.
Thanks for listening.

Sargy Letuchy is a teacher in suburban Chicago and he has created a book that will hook you up with excellent graphic organizers to help you get the kids to a greater level of understanding.
I like to find tools that are easy for teachers and administrators to use.
This is one of those resources.
It is not necessary to read it cover to cover...instead start at the beginning to understand where he is coming from and then check out the different chapters to figure which one you would like to try first.

Do you have procedures for the electronic devices that the students use in your classroom? Now I don't mean the cell phones and other technology that the kids bring. I'm talking about the laptops, chromebooks/netbooks, and calculators that you have for the kids to use during class.
These tools can be, although helpful and engaging, a pain. Why?
-
Devices can waste time.
-
Devices can be stolen.
-
Devices create issues.
To overcome these issues the solution is identify a helper to implement your procedures for the electronic devices.
The helper will:
-
Get the devices ready.
-
Distribute the devices.
-
Take up the devices.
-
Tell you when all of your devices are collected.
-
Put the devices in their holders, chargers, and storage bins correctly.
Do you have a helper? You should.
A helper will help you save time, not waste it.

Attendance, part 2 - Paying attention and following up.
This is a continuation of episode 158 where I talked about the importance of taking attendance. I have seen adults take forever to determine if all kids are in class or not. You do not want it to waste instructional time. During that episode, I had my 3 Don'ts and 4 Do's and then gave my 4 Final Thoughts.
I review those today or you can go back to 158 to hear more.
My focus for this episode though is to connect taking attendance with something that nobody may ever say that you need to do this but you need to. This content fits well with Not My Job parts 1 and 2 (episodes 155 and 156). Because whether you are told to or not it is part of your job. It is part of your responsibility as the classroom teacher.
You need to pay attention and follow up.
When kids are absent, don't just mark them absent, create a reminder to connect with the child when he returns. This means that when the next day arrives and the kid is not in school you now remember that he was absent the day before. When you hit two days, that day you should call home. Say, "Hey, I noticed that Steve was out for two days and I was hoping all was ok."
Sounds simple enough but you will hear me tell you a story about a child who is able to skip school and nobody paid attention or followed-up.
After listening, I hope that you recognize that you need to pay attention and follow-up.
Length - 22:44
Taking attendance is very important, but it shouldn't take you more than a minute or two. If it is taking you 5 or more minutes then you may be avoiding starting class.
3 Don'ts in taking attendance:
-
Don't take 5 or more minutes to figure out who is there and who isn't.
-
Don't let kids handle.
-
Don't trust your memory.
4 Do's in taking attendance:
-
Get it done.
-
Learn their names.
-
Create a way to speed up the process and not take away from instruction.
-
Insure that you have instructions for a substitute on how you handle attendance.
4 Main thoughts about attendance:
-
Learn their names.
-
Use seating charts.
-
Start class - get the kids "playing with the ball" - then take attendance during an activity.
-
Do not delegate this to a child.

The first day and week of school and what you need to do to be ready.
Wow! Is it that time already?
The first day and week of school are so very important. Kids and teachers, believe it or not, worry about the first day and week. Now some of these concerns might be different from each other but both have anxieties about school that first day and week.
For example,
Teachers are thinking ...
There is so much to get done.
Kids are thinking...
Will I just sit and be told what I can and can't do?
Teachers are thinking...
Will the group of kids be a good mix?
Kids are thinking...
Will I have friends in the class or will I be by myself?
Today, I am giving my thoughts about starting right. Here is my list:
- Be prepared.
a. Procedures
b. Start with content (Be engaging.)
-
Increase your energy.
-
Be positive.
-
Smile.
-
Greet the kids.
-
Start using their names.
Have an awesome day and start to the year!

In episode 155, I introduced the idea that there are many aspects of our jobs as educators that we do not get paid to do. Instead, these details are expected. I talked about these three areas for example:
-
Connect with kids, parents, and the community.
-
Find your place in the organization.
-
Take time to grow personally and professionally.
Today, I am continuing the discussion about "Not My Job."
We are professionals who are expected to address things as they come up. Sometimes we may be operating way beyond what on an initial list of duties might appear as normal.
To be better at what we do as a professional we have to go beyond the norm.
As educators we are almost never finished with our work. There is always something that needs to be done.
Here are some things to think about...
-
When you discover something that needs to be addressed do you ignore it?
-
When you find down time do you seek out something that needs to be handled?
What do you think?
Thanks for listening.
Length: 16:57
So what do we get paid to do as educators?
When you sign on to work in schools there may be things that you are expected to do that you didn't realize were part of the job.
Do we get paid to teach?
Do we get paid to be at work?
Do we get paid to prepare for school?
Do we get paid to run the school?
Well?
There are many aspects of our jobs that are expectations and really just come with the territory. Unfortunately, some of our colleagues don't think that they should have to do anything beyond just what they think is the general description of the job.
Hmmmm.
Today, I'm talking about the need for self-starters and those who show initiative. It is a requirement of our work with kids. We have to be proactive, trouble-shooters, and problem solvers.
Something to think about.
Length: 21:49
Why do you do what you do?
Have you thought about it? If so or if not, how could you use those thoughts to keep you focused on what matters?
I recently read Simon Sinek's book, Start With Why. Simon notes, "we say what we do, sometimes how we do it, but we rarely say why we do it." (p.39)
Do we rarely say why, because we are not really sure?
By the way, this question is deeper than to make money and to pay bills.
I am asking you to rethink about why you wanted to teach.
Simon made me think about Why we teach. Why we work with kids. Why we focus on helping kids achieve their dreams.
How would you answer if you were asked why you work with kids?
Once you answer this question, post it near your work space and see if you can use the answer to help give you that extra boost to get through those rough days.

I have a unique opportunity right now. I am overseeing the repurposing of an elementary school that was originally built in the 60's. It is now becoming an education training center. The other day, I peered into one of the old classrooms and it was empty- completely empty. No desks, tables, chairs, closets, bookcases, bulletin boards, whiteboards, shades, blinds, cabinets, or sinks. Nothing. Bare walls. No carpeting. Nothing.
Seeing the empty space it made me think...what would I want to put in this physical space. It was overwhelming at first but then my brain started working.
Today the show is about what you would put in the physical space. By the way, I ask you to forget technology right now and just focus on the furniture.
So what would be important to you if a magic genie came along and gave you three wishes to fill this room to get ready to work with the kids?
What would you wish for?

Apex Fun Run offers the opportunity to fund raise for schools without depending upon traditional "product-based" programs.
I don't know about you but as a kid I sold my share of Turtles (the candy not the critter), candy bars like Snickers and Milky Way as well as M&Ms. On top of those items I also sold wrapping paper, Christmas trees, candles, and popcorn. Who knows what else. As a parent, I have experienced these same types of opportunities for my kids to become traveling candy salesmen.
On today's show, I am talking with Jeremy Barnhart, the Co-Owner, VP for Franchise Development, and CFO of Apex Fun Run. This company partners with schools to raise money for equipment and other campus needs.
This unique method for raising funds incorporates leadership, character building, and encourages physical fitness.
Another unique aspect of Apex Fun Run is that it offers the opportunity for you to own your own business.
Jeremy talks about how "they changed the game of fund raising for schools."
He notes that something that makes them so different from product-based fund raising is that in traditional programs "the schools keep somewhere between 20% - 30% of the collected money whereas with Apex Fun Run the schools retain from 52% to 77% of the money."

Last episode I talked about creating a 9th Grade Transition Program for Kids. This week I am focused on creating a 9th Grade Transition Program for Parents. Today, I'm sharing my 16 ideas for a parent transition program. Do you have one? What would you or do you include?
Too often the 9th Grade Transition Program is focused only on the kids, yet the parents need to know how to do things. We always talk about creating a welcoming culture for parents, well make them more comfortable with their kids' school if you bring them in and show them how their child will use the school. But not only that, let them experience the areas of the school that they will need to be familiar with like the attendance office, the bus ramp, and the counselor's office.
Think about what you would include with your 9th grade transition program for the parents. Well, what do you think? Are you ready to welcome your 9th grade parents as well as the kids?
Length: 20:20
Do you have a 9th grade transition program for your rising 9th graders?
If you don't, you should.
If you do, do you have kids help run it?
If you don't, you should.
Kids don't have all of the answers but they do know what they like and don't like.
Many of them will tell you whether the 9th grade program you have is boring, too long, and/or next to useless.
9th grade transition programs should be gameified as much as possible and student led. Now this doesn't mean that there are not adults involved. Oh, no! It simply means that you are going to have a team of adults and kids that work to put the kids in front of the new kids. Not only in front of them but also have them help you design what will happen.
Now remember you are still going to want the media specilaist, 9th grade counselor, and 9th grade teachers involved but you also want the kids to tell you what kids want to know more about coming to the high school for the first time.
For example, have it end at lunch where you feed the kids (maybe pizza), and give them a school t-shirt or goody bag. Make sure that the tour shows them where the lockers are and how to use them. It is great if they can get their locker during this visit. It will increase your numbers attending if you make it known that they will get their lockers.
Take the kids to the drop off/pick-up areas. Also make sure that you show them the cafeteria and explain the lines as well as how you get there.
Listen to my talk today to get other ideas.
Just know that you should create an opportunity for the kids to learn from other, older kids about their new school.
It will help create success for your rising 9th graders.

Field trips are important. There is nothing like experiencing something first hand or putting your hands on whatever the content is. Virtual trips are nice for those trips that would be too expensive, but nothing takes the place of being front and center in the content.
If you want to know what it is like in a swamp, you need to be there. If you want to get the feel for the power of the large engines that drive a naval battle ship you need to be in that engine room. If you want to feel the past you want to visit an historical or archaelogical site.
Field trips are important, but to make them work you have to plan the trip.
(Check out episodes 141 and 142 for more information about field trips.)
You have to be organized and plan the trip down to the smallest detail. Afterall, you are responsible for someone else's children.
Today's episode is completely focused on making the trip a success by "sweating the small stuff."
Here are my 3 Ideas for Making a Field Trip a Success
-
Be choosey.
-
Design the trip.
-
Keep track of the kids.
Field trips are awesome ways of engaging kids and creating better understanding, but you have to address challenges.

Have you figured out that to help you with the classroom you need to buy stuff that will help you?
Don't get me wrong the school often will have supplies that will help, but to really get a leg up on working with the kids you need to buy stuff.
Well, since this is the case the best places to get this stuff is where you will find it for cheaper than at department or retail stores.
You know what I am talking about right?
Oh, yea...
You need to make visiting flea markets. garage sales, yard sales, church sales, thrift stores, and estate sales a habit. They can be your best friend.

You may remember Suzy from a couple of earlier interviews: Episode 2 where we talked about her instructional program called Math in the Fast Lane and on Episode 43 we talked about her book Learning in the Fast Lane. She is a national presenter, life-long educator, founder of Math in the Fast Lane ( a resource for helping teachers in grades 3-8 help kids with better understanding math), and now the author of two books published by ASCD- Learning in the Fast Lane and Teaching in the Fast Lane.
Suzy is energetic and passionate about helping teachers help their kids become academically successful. She has a nack for writing books that are easy to read and put to use in the classroom. Her research-based approach shares the research but gets to the practical immediately. No translators are needed here.
Today we talk about why she likes helping teachers and we dig into several parts of Teaching in the Fast Lane. You will hear her talk about the active classroom and what that requires.

In episode 141, I explain four reasons why field trips are important.
Yes, technology has made it possible to take virtual trips but there is still nothing like being there. Nothing replaces getting your hands dirty or learning first hand in the environment of whatever the activity or event is.
4 Reasons Why Field Trips Are Important:
-
Experience
-
Questions
-
Connection with Real-Life and Others
-
Future Thinking
Listen to episode 141 to hear me explain these reasons.
Today, I'm sharing some thoughts about great field trips to introduce to your kids and classes.
I hope that you will recognize the important role that field trips can play in getting the kids engaged in your subject area. Don't make excuses. Look at the standards, identify an excellent unit, and identify what field trip you will take to get the kids engaged and wanting to know more.
What ideas do you have for awesome field trips?

Field trips are important.
There I said it.
Too often the experience of good interaction with the real world get axed in the name of ..."not enough time." This is so not right.
Kids get excited to learn more by experiencing those activities, events, or things that make their brains go, "I have got to know more." Today I am talking about my...

Did you ever feel like saying, "No one ever told me about this?"
Come on you know what I'm talking about.
One day, while thinking about this issue or challenge you are facing, your mind says to you, "You know you asked to be an administrator."
You suck in a whole bunch of air, put your hands in your pockets and then say to yourself, "Yea, but there are so many things that no one told me about...."
Today I am explaining my list of 12 Things No One Ever Told Me About Being an Administrator.
Do you have days like this? Do you have your list of things that you wish someone would have told you about? Hmmm? Maybe you just wish that there was a book that let you look through those ideas about dealing with.... (you fill in the blank.)
Many of these experiences changed my way of doing things and created lessons for life and leadership.
So what's on your list?

Did you listen to my last episode? What?
If you did not I hope that you will go back and check it out...follow this link 138. In that episode I spoke about the need to be a lifelong learner. Matter of fact, I had a list of 14 ways to follow this pledge- I am an educator. I am a lifelong learner.
Today, I am focused on the 12th point on the list from episode 138 - Join Professional Organizations; Expand Your Network.
In this episode, I focus on what a network is, how it can help you, why you want to expand your network, and how to expand your network.
Whether you are an administrator or classroom teacher you need to create a network and work on expanding it.
You need to seek out a professional organization that suits you and get involved.
You get out of them what you put in...remember that. If you don't get involved you really won't get the most out of these organizations.
Start today.
Expand that network...

When we become educators we sign on to be lifelong learners. Whether you knew it or not it is a major aspect of what we do. We have to keep learning. By the way, notice that I said educators. That is because I'm not only talking about the classroom teacher, I am also talking administrators, media specialists, instructional coaches, support staff, everyone associated with helping kids achieve their dreams in schools. Yes, everyone must keep learning.
Every child is different. Even though they may have similarities to other children in the past, they all have challenges, baggage, and exceptionalities that require us to keep learning for understanding how to better work with each individual child. No matter how skilled or talented, all kids require educators to keep learning how to be better at what we do. So today, I am asking you to take my pledge:
I am an educator. I am a life long learner.
Included in today's show are my 14 ways to keep that pledge.
Thanks for listening!
Time to learn something new.
Remember, I am an educator. I am a lifelonglearner.

Today, I'm talking with Michael Miller of Michael Miller Solutions. He is an entrepreneur, tutor, and photographer.
Michael and I go way back. I was an assistant principal at his high school. By the way, he never was in trouble just in case you were thinking that ... nope, he was a focused student and swimmer.
Michael now is an academic tutor who helps kids understand math and standardized tests.
He almost was a college student forever and he wants to help kids not make the mistakes he made.
You will hear about the number of years, number of universities and the missing of a point to where he was going. He has a mission and that is to help students not follow his path.
Michael, also has started selling photographs. Wait till you see his amazing photos. He has quite an eye and knack for capturing nature and the outdoors. Go to his Esty page and his Instagram account to check out his pictures.
Michael says that he helps kids learn how to think not what to think. He focuses on thought processes not just getting answers.
Michael also has written a book on leadership that is in the process of being edited. The book includes his thoughts about everything he wished he knew or advice that he should have followed. Look for that coming out soon.
Michael also reflects on what it is like being in charge of his own business.

This is part 2 of Visitors , Customers, and Guests.
Today, I am talking about our schools not other organizations.
Have you ever taken a close look at your school to observe how people are greeted and treated?
We have people who help people. We have people who greet people. We have people who talk with people. This means that there is the potential for a huge problem to be ignited by one little interaction or spark.
Does your staff think of visitors as problems to get rid of as quickly as possible or do they make people feel good about stepping through your front door or calling? Well, do you know? If not, you need to make time to figure this out. It is necessary to make sure that they know what you want them to say and do. Don't assume that it is understood.
I hope that you will take my pledge and seek to make sure that your staff understands their role when they meet and greet guests. You will love that you did and your community will be thankful.
Length: 18:03
Do you treat your visitors like guests? Do you pay attention to how your staff answer the phones or treat people as they walk through the door?
You should.
Today, I am talking about several bad experiences which I had at a local spot that I like to visit with my laptop to get some work done. On several occassions, more than I share, the staff fail to greet customers and not only that talk behind what must be an invisible wall, because while the number in line is growing the staff are standing, laughing,and not paying attention to the people with the money. This drives me nuts in businesses and places that I am visiting.
We need to care about how visitors are teated when they enter or call our building.
Visitors need to be acknowledged with a friendly smile and a warm hello.
Unfortunately, our visitors or callers are not treated like guests. Instead they are often ignored or made to feel like they have done something wrong.
Thanks for listening and I hope that you will become that fly on a wall and watch and listen to how your staff interact with visitors. Make this a priority and soon your visitors will know that they are welcomed as guests.
Don't wait!

Mr. Jake Collins is a high school math teacher from Statesboro, Georgia. He likes "being in the classroom and seeing the light come on when the kids enjoy the mental exercise of mathematics." Additionally, he knows that the kids don't always come to math classes excited about the content. It becomes his job to figure out how to make things engaging and to excite the kids about learning math.
Jake knows that it is important to give the kids different activities to choose from. He believes that this technique encourages more ownership by the kids of their learning. He also is a huge proponent of using PLCs to help teachers understand what the data is showing them about the needs of the kids they teach. Jake talks about the power of teacher collaboration.
Mr. Collins uses his YouTube channel to help him reach his kids and to help others with outside of the school day help. Originally, he did this to help kids get caught up who had missed class. Eventually, he discovered that all of his students wanted to use the videos to help them understand the concepts, not just those kids who had been absent from school. He creates clips of himself so that the kids can watch their teacher do the explanations.
He and another teacher developed what they called Enhanced Learning Targets. He realized that the information that he was producing was becoming too cumbersome, so he needed a way to organize the resources, standards, and targets to help the kids. Out of this need, came the Enhanced Learning Targets which made it easier to connect the standards with explanations and videos as well as other resources. All of these are listed by date. Jake explains that these have become his pacing guides, curriculum maps, and learning targets.
Think about how you could follow Jakes' lead and do similar activities for helping your kids better understand your content.

Today, I am talking with Dr. Jessica Tsang, one of three authors of the book The ABCs of How We Learn (2016).
The other two authors are Dr. Dan Schwartz and Dr. Kristen P. Blair. All three are colleagues in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University.
I love this book for several reasons (by the way check out my video review of The ABCs of How We Learn)
-
Its easy to use and understand
-
Each section includes the How and Why the approach works
-
Most sections include the good and the bad of the approach (which truly is one of my favorite parts of the book)
Dr. Jessica M. Tsang
Dr. Dan Schwartz Dr. Kristen P. Blair
This could be an awesome tool for you. It is so easy to use. It is not necessary to read cover to cover. Look for the information that you want to know more about and go there. You will find that it is written in a wonderful way that let's you know why and how to use the strategy. It also has an incredible resource list at the conclusion of each chapter.
Like its title says, it is the ABCs. There is a chapter for A - Z. Each chapter even has a drawing of an animal that matches the letter. Nice.
Jessica talks about the research associated with the book, its purpose and what it is like writing a book with three authors. I had to ask. I think it is cool when colleagues work together to produce a book.
The ABCs of How We Learn would be a great tool to add to your professional library and instructional tool kit.
I hope that you will check it out.

Anders Gustafson is a fishing guide, wilderness protector, and entrepreneur. Wait for it...in Alaska! He is a father and husband. He has made an incredible life for himself by not following the program. Listen and you will hear him explain what not following the program means.
Recently, I had an amazing experience. It was life-changing. It was a vacation that made me take a deep breath and go ...WOW! We took a family trip to fish in Alaska. Five of the days were spent on the Mulchatna River with a fishing camp where we were focused on catching King Salmon. Anders is a guide with this camp. He is not just any guide...he is amazing! He is a great teacher. He is patient. He gets to know who is fishing in his boat. He has a wonderful sense of humor. He listens and helps you solve your problems. Most importantly, he helps you catch fish, especially the mighty King Salmon!
The only way to get to where we were is to fly by float plane to the river (yes, you actually land on the river. Loved it!) There were no people other than those running the camp, the guides, and the anglers. The only electricity was from generators and it was used for the eating tents, cook tent, and the freezers, otherwise you had no power. There also was no wi-fi or cellular connectivity! It was beautiful! No one could get in touch with us. We were in the middle of the wilderness surrounded by wild blueberry plants and so many signs of bear activity. There were bald eagles and signs of caribou and moose. There were beaver. I had always heard of tundra now I was on it. The daylight stayed with us until almost two am (Check out my picture below.). We used outhouses and even though there was a shower tent, I opted to just do quick hair and face washes and brushed my teeth. Hey, it was only 5 days.
Anders is an amazing outdoorsman who has had the opportunity to protect the very wilderness that he hunts and fishes. Recently, there was a mining operation that wanted to remove copper from the area. After a three year long war (which included testifying in Washington, DC.), Anders was successful in keeping the mining operation out. He helped to save the wild. Unfortunately, it looks like that battle is about to begin again. You will hear Anders talk about his battles, wins, and losses.
I think that you will enjoy listening to Anders and if you close your eyes he paints a picture of the wilderness with every word. Thanks for listening. Enjoy!

Tammy Cook is a 3rd grade teacher at East Laurens Elementary School in Laurens County, Georgia.
She currently is in her 20th year of teaching.
Her career has been in two school systems where she spent 9 years in Wilkinson County and now she is in her 11th in Laurens County.
Most of her career has been teaching 3rd graders although she has taught 5th grade.
I have had the opportunity to watch Tammy teach a couple of times and she is a master at using learning centers as well as getting the kids to know what is expected of them.
Her transitions are smooth and the kids can't wait to get started on their centers.
She has everything color-coded. There are buckets, folders, and pouches. The kids know what their team is and look forward to the day when it is their turn to be the team leader and get to wear the pouch.
You will hear us talk about getting the kids to transition with little prodding, the make-up of her learning centers, her use of peer evaluation, as well as a chart that she uses to record her thoughts about how each student is doing.
Tammy's enthusiasm for working with kids comes shining through from the beginning of the interview to the end.
I hope that you will take some of her ideas and give them a try.
Your kids will thank you.

Mark Galbo is the CEO and founder of Rock and Roll Academy.
Mark has been an educator and artist for over 30 years.
From private schools in Boston to reservation schools in Arizona, Mark has had the opportunity to work with students and educators in a diverse array of settings.
As a musician, Mark collaborated with a wide variety of successful artists in film, record production, and live performance.
Mark founded Rock and Roll Academy in 2003. The program has grown from one school in Colorado to over twenty schools in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, and California.

There are no auditions and no previous music experience is required. Rock and Roll Academy students form bands, choose their own music, and self-direct their learning.
The kids comment that they feel welcome and that they do not judge each other. They are encouraged to take risks and try. They like being part of Rock and Roll Academy and it inspires them to get more involved in school.
I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Mark. You will hear us talk about his background and Rock and Roll Academy. We focus on how the program works and how the adults get involved.

It is awesome when an organization takes time to work with kids and to recognize what magic they can make happen.
It is also wonderful when a company makes it's purpose to celebrate those young people.
Positive Athlete does just that.
Today, I am talking with Ryan Pederson who is the Director of Partnerships and Programming for Positive Athlete. He shares with us the history of Positive Athlete and its vision and focus.
I really like this statement from the Positive Athlete website:
"Positive Athlete is a movement by high-character professional athletes tied to professional and collegiate sports teams to celebrate young athletes who have overcome difficult circumstances, give back to their communities, or have an infectious attitude that positively affects those around them."
Too often young people are portrayed by modern media as being negative and uncaring. This image is not true. Postive Athlete brings that to light.
Anyone can nominate a young person, take a look at the end of the show notes for links to understand more and to nominate.

Do you ever just get so incredibly frustrated with one or two kids?
Today’s show is all about recognizing when you are frustrated and how to deal with it. Especially, when you know that it is one kid who is really driving you nuts.
So here are my 3 + 1 ways of not showing that you are frustrated:
Put something happy on the wall behind the child who frustrates you.
Just before the kids arrive remind yourself of something positive about the child.
Make a list of positive attributes of the child and keep that list where only you can see it and revisit it during the class.
Plus One…
Put yourself in timeout….
Really, put you in timeout...go outside, take a deep breath, watch something funny, play at recess or during lunch with the kids, or how about play an instrument with the band class or participate in an art class...See where I am going with this?
So let’s talk about 6 signs of Adult Frustration
Eye rolling
You take a deep breath or you sigh right before talking with one specific student
Exasperated statements directed at one student
Angry body language
Ignoring and only responding when you finally have to
Overreacting
We have to get control of ourselves.
When you recognize and admit to yourself that the kid is driving you nuts then you need to take the steps to help you control you.
Look at my 6 signs of frustration and then take a look at my 3 + 1 ways of overcoming your frustration.
You will be glad that you did.

Does your energy ever just leave you?
Do you feel tired and in need of and extra burst of energy?
Well, there are ways that you get an extra burst of energy and it doesn't require putting an excessive dose of caffeine in your body.
You would be amazed at what simple activities can get you that refreshed and recharged feel.
Not only that but give you a great attiyude adjustment.
Suddenly you are ready to take on the world.
By the way these tricks also have side benefits, your co-workers and students will notice.
Here are my 5 Tips to get Refreshed and Recharged During the Day:
-
Bring a toothbrush and toothpaste and use them. Fresh breath. New outlook. The students will be glad to know that you know longer have coffee breath.
-
Take the next step with the mouth...use mouthwash! Oh, yeah! Minty fresh and ready to take on the world. Not only that but easy to use multiple times a day and plus your dentist will thank you because you killing the bacteria that are bad for your gums and teeth.
-
Bring anti-perspirant or deoderant and use it. It adds a positive fragrance. Removes sweat odors. Makes you feel fresh. Add on top of that an a new t-shirt or undergarment especially one that has the familiar sweet smell of your dryer sheets or detergent and you could have enough energy for two more days.
-
Use shaving cream and a razor or facial clensers. There is nothing more refreshing than lathering up and then running a quick razor over your face. It leaves you fresh and tingling. Yep. Ready to take on the world. Facial clensers do the same. Plus you get rid of that dirt and oil that is building up on your face.
-
Use bath gel and a towel. Now, I am not suggesting taking a bath or shower (If you are at a high school get to know the coaches so that you might be able to use a shower once in awhile.), but I am suggesting that you lather up your face, scrub it with warm or cool water, and feel that new life flooding back into your body!!!!
These five techniques for refreshing and recharging work. You just have to bring the tools and use them.
They will help you feel better and have the added benefit of keeping you pleasant to be around and work with.
My favorite benefit though is that it provides an opportunity for an attitude adjustment.
Think about it.
Try these 5 Tips out.
You will find yourself refreshed and recharged.

BetterLesson is a personalized professional development program for teachers.
The teacher talks twice monthly with a live, experienced teacher coach. The sessions last 30-45 minutes and the teacher creates a digital portfolio as a result of their talks. The coaching sessions are held virtually.
When you get a chance take a look at the page of betterlesson.com where you are introduced to the coaches and you will see the vast number of years that each coach has had in the classroom as well as get to know each of them a little bit.

Do you have a sub folder?
If not-time to get one.
If you do-have you updated it recently?
Ok, so at some point you are going to be absent.
Really! Whether you are sick, you have a sick child who needs you, or you are sent somewhere, you will need a substitute teacher. And this means that you will need a substitute folder. Yes, it can be a folder, box, bin, or notebook. It can also be electronic.
The point is that you need information for your substitute teacher and it needs to be readily available and up-to-date.
In today's podcast, I am focused on what you should keep in that folder.
Here are my 7 Items that You Should Have in Your Subsitute Folder:
-
Seating Chart
-
Bell Schedule
-
Emergency Procedures
-
How to Take Attendance
-
How to Operate Equipment
-
Special Notes
-
Work Assignments (Updated Regularly)
Now don't mistreat your substitutes. Having had the experience of dealing with no assignments and assignments that took all of 5 minutes (if the kids made it take that long), I know what it is like to have to be creative and feel like a stand-up comedian in front of a crowd without a script. Create meaningful activities and update the folder weekly.
By the way, make sure that someone knows where you keep that folder, notebook, box or whatever you use. Mark it clearly...You know like on the 60's Batman Television Show-The Sub Folder, My Sub Folder, Substitute Cave, Substitute Info, etc. Hopefully you get the picture.
Make sure that it is easily found.
By the way, you can have much more in your folder, just make sure that these 7 items are in your folder, at the very least.
-
Seating Chart
-
Bell Schedule
-
Emergency Procedures
-
How to Take Attendance
-
How to Operate Equipment
-
Special Notes

Go create or update that folder.
You will be glad that you did and your sub will thank you.

His search led him to science which led him to teach science in a high school.
Mr. Bethel loves learning. He is a role model for constantly seeking to understand and know more.

You don’t understand. You don’t have kids!
I will never forget these words.
A frustrated parent who was angry at a member of our team of teachers.
She blasted me with these words. Even though I have forgotten the reasons for the meeting and its outcome, I have never forgotten these words. It is now more than 20 years ago.
I have had kids now.
And now I do understand.
What I have learned the most is that you want someone to care enough about your child that they reach out and connect with you, the parent.
The older the kids get the more distance that starts developing.
It is easy for a teacher to put off or not contact a parent.
But...don’t listen to that voice.
It is important that you contact as soon as possible.
Not only that, be proactive. Call for good, not just bad.
Call because you want to inform.
Send home information just because you thought it was a great idea.
The more contact the better.
Today’s show is focused on the
3 Reasons Why You Should Contact As Soon As Possible
and the
3 Reasons to Call and Not Use Email.
Thoughts from someone who has been there and made the mistakes.
So what are you waiting for...contact ...contact...contact.

Kids want and need to know how you do things.
You. The classroom teacher.
That is just one of the reasons why you should have procedures ready to explain to your kids on the first day of class. That way they know how you do things and what you expect.
Today I am talking about -
The Top 5 Procedures You Need to Have in Place in Your Classroom Now.
- How you start and end class
- How to transition between activities
- If they need to use the restroom while in class what do they do?
- If I am absent how do I know what I missed?
- How do I turn in classwork or homework?
Often when a teacher struggles with classroom management it is actually a lack of procedures that stops the teacher from being successful.
As Harry Wong says, "The number one problem in the classroom is not discipline; it is the lack of procedures and routines."
When you have determined your procedures you have just begun because now you have to:
Tell the kids your procedures.
Practice the procedures.
Review the Procedures.
Practice Again.
It is tempting when creating procedures to confuse them with rules. Procedures are how you do things.
Here are some additional thoughts about creating your classroom procedures-
Keep them short.
Do not have too many.
Consistently observe your procedures.
It is a two way street. You must also follow your procedures.
Post the procedures where the kids can see them.
There are always other procedures that you may need to add, but determine what the most necessary ones that are needed in the beginning and put them in action.
Here are five procedures that I believe you need to put into action first:
How you start and end class.
How to transition between activities.
How to get permission to go to the restroom during class.
If I am absent how do I know what I missed?
How do I turn in classwork and homework?
Take a look today and put them in action this coming Monday...Make Monday your do-over day!

One of the greatest favors you can do for yourself as a classroom teacher is to learn to get the kids’ attention.
Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it?
Most definitely.
Unfortunately, it is not that easy and too often this is where the adult takes a short cut.
You risk being run over by a freight train.
Quite simply once many kids realize that you don’t have a real way of starting class...your honeymoon is over.
Once they realize that you don’t have a way of getting their attention...you are soon going to find yourself talking over or above the kids' voices when you shouldn’t.
You have to have a way to start class and getting the kids’ attention. This is not a time to reason, plead or wish they would do what you say. You have to make getting their attention something that you always do.
In today’s episode, I am focused on the importance of getting the kids’ attention.
Here are my 5 Steps to Starting Class Right
Know what you are going to do.
Explain it to them
Practice it
Do it again

This is a conclusion of a two part series concerning withitness and emotional objectivity.
Click here to check out part one.
Good classroom management requires the teacher to become emotionally objective. This doesn't mean that you don't connect with the kids, but it does mean that you get control of the part of you that might start believeing that everything the kid does is to get under your skin. Too often adults working with kids can easily get fixated on the idea that a kid does everything at or toward the teacher. For example, not getting his homework done, failing to be on time to class, getting into arguments with other students, or simply not following classroom procedures.
This type of thinking can drive you batty.
It ultimately can drive some adults to the point to be angry at the world, see every student behavior as an issue and become completely grumpy about every misbehavior.
As a result, the teacher may actually develop what appears to be a grudge against one particular student. You know what I mean. If a name is going to be called, it's Evan's or Rita's. Even if he was quiet at that time of the class, one little seemingly touch or move across the line and whammo!!
Evan! Rita!
His or her name is announced. Hmmm...This is not good.
At this point the teacher may need to have an attitude adjustment. Simply speaking it is time to watch something funny. Talk with another adult who can make you laugh or seek guidance in dealing with the issues that are causing you pain in the upcoming class. One of my favorite ways of adjusting my focus is to watch something funny like an episode of Gilligan's Island or Home Improvement and even Last Man Standing.
It is important that each class have us at our best. No one is perfect. So when there are those aspects of kid's behaviors that get you twisted and torn or wanting to avoid dealing with the issues (which is just as bad as getting angry) find that tool that will help you calm yourself.
I often play soccer with the kids at lunch or after school. I also play my trumpet with the marching band. Each of these tools work like a charm. I start seeing kids back as a kids instead of accidents waiting to happen or trouble in the making.
My all time way to get myself refocused was by taking a ride in the golf cart/ Nothing like a few minutes of fresh air to readjust your attitude.
Keep in mind that classroom management requires the teacher to not only be in tune with what the kids are doing (withitness) but to also become emotionally objective so that every little thing doesn't start bothering you. Letting go of any and all negative feelings you may have developed about a kid and how she will act in class today is a must so that every day or class is a new chance.

Dr. Robert Marzano talks about every teacher needing a common mental set when focusing on classroom management (Marzano, Classroom Management that Works, 2003). This mental set is comprised of withitness and emotional objectivity.
This is part one of a two part look at this mental set.
For this episode we will focus on withitness which is being aware of what is going on around you. It is often that sixth sense that a teacher needs to have. Often it is spoken of as an extra set of eyes in the back of your head.
No matter what, withitness is a condition that you have to teach yourself to turn on and stay tuned to.
In the Marvel Comics realm there is a character named Spider-Man. He has the ability to recognize danger and foretell the potential of disaster approaching. When he feels that tingle in his brain he knows that he better pay attention or move out of the way. The classroom teacher is no different, He has a Spidey sense as well.
It is a matter of paying attention to it.
The better a teacher gets to know his kids the better he will become at recognizing warning signs of impending danger.
One sure fire way to turn on your withitness is to stand at your door during class changes. Yea, I know it is easy to get distracted, but the more you make this a priority the better you will become at recognizing issues are entering your classroom.Talk with the kids when they enter. Shake their hands. Look into their eyes Chit chat with them in the hall. If you do you these things you will notice when there is anger, sadness, or other issues walking through the door.
The same applies for during class. You have to pay attention to their eyes. You have to pay attention to their mannerisms. Listen with your ears and eyes. If you are truly paying attention you will notice when there is something wrong. Once you notice it. Address it. Go to the kids. Find out what is wrong. You will be happy that you did.
This is withitness.
Work on turning yours on and you will be able to address issues before they become issues.
Next time we will focus on emotional objectivity.

Mandi C. Mathis has written a book called The Littlest Inventor.
She works for a law firm, is a wife and a mom and now an author.
She and her family live in Athens, Georgia.
Mandi hopes all kids, teachers, parents. and counselors will read her book.
But she will tell you that the book was written for her son Sawyer.
She wanted him to "have a positive literary role model that looked like him."
Sawyer was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder.
The book is colorful and has wonderful illustrations. The storyline is interesting and does a wonderful job of pointing out that it is ok to be different.
Here is a picture of Sawyer who was featured in Autism: Asperger's Digest.
I love the part of the interview where Mandi talks about celebrating differences as she says, "We love different. We are all different."
We talk about what Autism Spectrum Disorder is as well as what teachers and other adults need to recognize about working with kids who have sensory overload.
Listen to her talk about "misbehavior is just missed behaviors."
I hope that you get a chance to get a copy of The Littlest Inventor after you listen to Mandi.

Are you looking for ways to connect with parents?
I know dumb question right?
Well, have I got an inexpensive way to start off the connectivity- get postcards.
You can go buy some on-line, at the US Post Office or a local printer or you can make your own.
Between you and me you don't have to use your money and supplies.
First, hit up your principal or PTSA or a local business.
What school or community leader could say no to a teacher who wants to connect with parents.
By the way, they are cheap, too!
The cool thing about the PostOffice cards is that you can buy them with postage already on the card.
Listen to my interview with Brian Buffington for his thoughts about postcards.
Now...now... just getting postcards isn't enough you have to write something nice and then send it to the parents or guardians.
So here is a thought put some announcement on the card that all parents need to hear.
You know...you can buy stickers that you print the message on and then stick them to the card.
Think about it. Invite them to open house or tell them about your blog or class podcast...
...then near the sticker write a personal note...like ...Steve really participated well in class this week. Or Judy answered all of her legacy questions completely and correctly! Yea! or...come on think out loud. You could come up with something nice about every kid...really you can do it!
But why would you want to?...easy...
It helps you connect with parents and break the cycle of the only reason why the parent hears from the school is for trouble.
And believe me, some kids get lots of negative contact from school.
If you send one of these cards home with a personalized note...you know it's going on the refrigerator!!!
5 Steps for Using Postcards to Make Your School a More Positive Place
-
Get the cards.
-
Get your roster
-
Get stickers
-
Write something personal

The Top 10 Reasons Why You need to Own a vending Business
Matt is the Founder of School Spirit Vending. He is also a graduate of the US Air Force Academy and a former pilot of T-38s and C-5 Galaxies. He has been successful in several business ventures in the medical industry, advertising and even selling gumballs. It is the gumball opportunity that led him to the school vending focus.
After hearing Matt tell his life story I get the feeling he is “Determined to succeed, willing to take risks, and not willing to give in…”
He has helped to raise over 3.5 million dollars for schools.
As a former high school principal, you need to find ways to raise funds. Typically it is through food, candy, car washes and doughnuts. Matt’s company designs stickers and comic books that the students buy from the all mechanical no electronic parts vending machines. No junk food. Typically, no machine breakdowns.
Additionally, he is the host of the School Zone Podcast. According to Matt, “he was amazed at the incredible variety of school resource and fundraising companies available and started the School Zone Podcast to allow these companies and organizations time to share their stories.”
School Spirit Vending is located in over 2000 schools across the United States. They develop their products on their own from the ground up. The products are developed based on following age group wants and desires.
Matt’s favorite leadership quote is “help other people get what they want and you will be taken care of” by Zig Ziglar.
He says that he was always looking for a “win-win.” He wanted to help his clients. By following Zig’s thoughts about helping others it has kept him focused on helping him connect and succeed with clients.
School Spirit vending is a company that seeks entrepreneurs who want to market the School Spirit Vending products to regions across the country.
The majority of his franchise holders have other jobs but more and more they are growing to the point where they hire some of their own staff as the sticker machine business expands.
Matt and his franchise holders spend a lot of time with parent-teacher organizations but often work directly with clubs and their sponsors.
Matt was fun to talk with and I am sure you will enjoy listening.

Nathan is a teacher.
He teaches college students who think that they want to attend law school how to take the LSAT to get accepted to law school. His test prep books are easy to read and actually fun to read.
Yes, I am telling you that test prep can be fun, at least Nathan's version.
He likes teaching, but he has not always known that this is what he wanted to do. He has a couple of different degrees and has travelled down the pathway of different careers. When he knew that he wasn't on the right path he took the LSAT and scored a 179. A perfect score is 180. He got accepted to a prestigious law school and shortly after beginning the coursework he realized that this wasn't his calling, either.
He discovered that he wanted to teach people how to take the test. He saw the test as a game and knew that he could help others be successful on the test.
Nathan and I talk about the way he writes. I like the way he writes. He is funny, poignant and he makes you want to keep reading. He gives credit to what he calls his "core philosophy as a teacher, tell the truth at all times."
Nathan continues to recall the advice of a friend who told him, to tell the truth.
"I walked into that first class really nervous..." and I said, " Hey guys I'm Nathan. I am contractually obligated by my employer not to tell you that this is the first LSAT class that I have ever taught.
A couple of them laughed and smiled. From that moment they were on my side..."
Check out Nathan's ideas about teaching his students how to get to understand what the test is asking and to actually see it as fun. He has amazing advice for test taking. What could you learn from his suggestions? What about listening to his ideas about why he spends a lot of time talking people out of going to law school. How could his thoughts help you when you talk to and teach your students?
By the way, check out his audio podcast Thinking LSAT

Ok, I know we all are busy and it is so easy to say,
"You know I will gladly read something tomorrow, but today, I just need to do this."
Come on, you know what I'm talking about.
Just say no to that inclination.
You need to be constantly learning if you are going to work with kids.
Classroom teacher, building administrator, instructional coach,
athletic coach, graduation coach, so forth and so on.
Reading is a must.
You must continually seek to expand your understanding of what works with kids at different ages.
Today, I am focused on my
3 Reasons Why Professional Reading is a Must:
When we take time to read professional writings we are able to-
- Address what we don't know.
- Learn more about what we have some knowledge of.
- Discover new information that can help us be better at what we already do.
Here are some great resources for professional reading:

It's graduation time at high schools in the United States!
What an incredible moment in the life of our kids and the educators who worked with them over their many years in school.
A few years ago I was asked to talk with elementary school kids about what I do as a principal. It was their career fair day.
Now I am comfortable talking with kids of all ages, but I had been a high school teacher and high school administrator. So I asked the only thing I could, "What should I talk about?" The response was, they want to know three things about you:
-
How much do you make as a principal?
-
What do you not like about your job?
-
What do you like about your job?
I'm not sure that I had ever taken the time to really reflect on my job until I prepared for that talk.
The answers were easy...but let's focus on my response to question number 3...
I like Graduation!
This usually causes adults and kids alike to laugh or chuckle...
They think that what I mean is that I want to get rid of the kids...you know...Go away now...
But that could not be further from the truth...
I love graduation time!
It is when all of the memories come flooding through for all of the kids...
This is their step into adulthood...
Changes are coming and they know it...
They want to hold on as long as they can while letting go and celebrating the moment...
I would never want to miss this!
You shouldn't want to miss it either...
So here are my Seven Do's at Graduation Time
-
Do buy a yearbook and ask the kids to sign yours.
-
Do go to the senior breakfast/lunch/dinner/bar-b-que and play and interact.
-
Do go to other celebrations and interact -speak if asked - ask to speak - have fun!
-
Do go to graduation! Stay to the end!
-
Do talk at graduation and make it about the kids
-
Do stay to the very end of graduation - close it down - be there with every family!
-
Do go to graduation parties where there is adult supervision, interact with the graduates, their families, and their friends.
So what are your plans for graduation?
You're going, right?
Enjoy!

Where have you been? Come on … are you really afraid of social media? Hmmm?
I understand why you might have some fears, but that’s because the news conglomerates have convinced you that only bad comes from that evil social media. Their tales of woe are just a minuscule aspect that can happen whereas so much more good comes from getting familiar with social media trappings.
The numbers show (listen to the podcast) that there is no doubt that billions of people are using social media which means that there is a great chance that all of your families, students, community members, and businesses are out there in the digital world.
Seth Godin, in his book Tribes, explains that the world is in need of leaders and that when individuals, groups, and organizations assume these roles, the word is spread between interconnected tribes. So, why can’t schools step-up and become the leaders?
That is exactly
why you need to be there, but more specifically here are my...
3 Reasons Why
you Need to Make Social Media a Priority for Next School Year
-
Connect
-
Tell
-
Learn
Listen to
the podcast and you will hear me explain my thoughts about these three words.
So get some
paper and a pencil and take some notes as to why it is time for you and your
system to embrace social media.
Thanks for
listening!
Have an
awesome day!

10 Promises to Make Yourself for Next School Year
From year to year, it is a great practice to reflect on what we can do better.
As a classroom teacher, there are some practices that will help you accelerate the kids with greater success. Some of these concepts are instructional and some are relational, but what they all have in common is that if you use them you will help more kids overcome the fog or issues associated with not understanding.
You will be able to connect and help the kids move beyond the walls that stand in their way. I encourage you to look at these 10 promises and whether you make all of them part of your future plans or just one, commit.
Follow through with adding one of these promises to your plans for what to do better next year.
I guarantee you that you will be glad that you did.
Here are my 10 promises to make Yourself for Next Year:
a. Get to know more kids by name sooner
b. Make more positive contacts home
c. Create a blog
d. Learn to use interactive boards with the kids
e. Emphasize vocabulary
f. Plan backwards-Start with the end in mind-Use a Unit Plan
g. Get better at giving instructional feedback
h. Use formative assessment more frequently
i. Use charts with formative assessments, especially whiteboards
j. Create more engaging activities

If you work in a school at some point you are going to have to deal with confrontation. Issues arise that need you to try to remove the heat, lower the temperature, de-escalate the situation.
Today, in this segment on classroom management, I am focused on de-escalation.
You know…the concept that if we stay calm and use a specific skill set that we can keep in control of a situation.
Here are my ...
10 Keys to De-escalation:
-
Someone has to be the adult
-
Lower the temperature.
-
Watch your tone.
-
Be aware of your hands
-
Choose your words carefully
-
Don’t make them look at you.
-
Is it necessary to talk right now?
-
Remove the audience.
-
Don’t talk down…actually move so you don’t hover over
10.Do not threaten.
Throughout the show, I explain what I mean with each key.
I challenge you to place this list of 10 techniques, strategies, and concepts someplace in your classroom where you can see them. Put the list someplace where the students wouldn’t pay attention but you would. After putting the 10 keys someplace that you see them make sure that you practice them.
What do you think?
When you feel that blood boiling, that temperature rising, and the brain is suggesting irrational solutions refer to the list.
Remember above all, my number one key is that someone has to be the adult and it should be you.

This is the conclusion of a three-part series on Formative Assessment in the Classroom.
If you haven’t listened to the first two parts they are Episodes 93 and 94.
In this three-part journey, I have introduced you to several characterizations of kids you might have in your classes:
Mr. Compliant, The Recluse, The Answerer, The Comedian, The Disruptor, The Questioner, and Love Struck. (I explain each of these in the episode.)
By the way, they sound a little like characters from the 1960s Batman TV show…
After reading and knowing who they are can we agree that…
Kids are different from each other.
Can we agree on this?
If so, we need to make sure that we are taking the time to check if they are following you. It is important to see if they get what you are introducing them to, you know ... do they get the content?
The way to do this is to plan for formative assessment opportunities during your lessons.
In the second part of this series I explained my working definition of Formative Assessment:
Formative assessment is the purposeful use of activities that will not be graded that will reveal to the teacher what the kids know and don’t know. The results of these activities will be used to adjust instruction to help the kids develop a better understanding, over-come confusion, or move on because they already get it.
In today’s episode, I introduce you to formative assessment tools.
Listed below are a few formative assessment tools that teachers are using in their classrooms. Each of these is linked in my Pinterest board called Assessment Strategies.
10 Tools for Formative Assessment in the Classroom:
-
Five Powerful Questions
-
Ten Assessments in 90 Seconds
-
Marzano’s Question Stems
-

-
Stickies
-

-
The Mini-Whiteboard
-

-
Craft Sticks with mini-whiteboards
-

Go here to read my blog article on formative assessment.
Keep in mind that all kids are not the same; hence, they need you to figure out whether they are following you and understanding the content. The way to do this is with formative assessment. These activities are purposeful, not graded and the information gathered is used to adjust instruction.
In this series, I talked about the Why, the What, and the Tools.
So have you made plans to take a look at my Pinterest boards?
Do so now.
Go check out the many ideas for formative assessments that are linked on my site.
Have fun working with the kids and helping them get your content!
Nothing better than when that light bulb comes on!

The riddle asks you what purposeful, not graded and used to adjust instruction have to do with
American Idol…?
Do you know?
Before we take a deep dive into the answer let's first revisit my definition of formative assessment ….
Formative assessment is the purposeful use of activities that will not be graded that will reveal to the teacher what the kids know and don’t know. The results of these activities will be used to adjust instruction to help the kids develop a better understanding, overcome confusion, or move on because they already get it.
To understand formative assessment you must understand what it is.
To know what formative assessment is you must know what purposeful, not graded, and used to adjust instruction mean.
So do you? By the way, you can't use the terms to define themselves.
Hang on a second, I also want you to know what these words have in common with the television show American Idol....hmmm. What do you think the answer is?
Well, this is what we talk about today.
Take the understanding of the what to help you learn that it is important to find out what the kids know and don't know.
Forget that there might be someone telling you that you have to start using formative assessment...
and instead, know that formative assessment is one of those tools that every teacher should master to help to get to know what the kids know and don't know.
You should use it because you are trying to help all kids to achieve their dreams. The only way to do this is to learn as much about the child as possible, hence...ta-da! Formative assessment to the rescue.
At the conclusion of today's show, you should be ready to get some tools to put to use in your classroom to better know what your kids know and don't know. (Ha...How's that for using one word way too many times?)
Thanks for being here!
Next week I will share many different ways of knowing what your kids know and don't know.
See you!

What is formative assessment?
Let’s use a simplistic working definition
Formative assessment is the purposeful use of activities that will not be graded that will reveal to the teacher what the kids know and don’t know. The results of these activities will be used to adjust instruction to help the kids develop a better understanding, over-come confusion, or move on because they already get it.
“Why you need to use formative assessment.”
Here is a short list of a few of the many characters who might remind you of some of the kids in your classes:
-
Mr. or Ms. Compliant- This is the kid who will do whatever you ask. Just tell him/her what to do.
-
The Recluse- Leave me alone. Let me be. If you push to get me involved I will probably just ignore you and not really try.
-
The Answerer- has all of the answers and is usually correct. Wants to answer every question.
-
The Comedian- Looks for opportunities to make everyone laugh sometimes appropriate often times not.
-
The Disruptor- Seeks to take advantage of keeping the teacher off task and trying to find out what buttons can be pushed and how far he can go before he is really in trouble.
-
The Questioner-She/he usually has very high grades and wants to know more. This child always is ready with a question that will probably try your knowledge of the content. Has the greatest opportunity for driving you nuts because you know he/she will have a question.
-
Love Struck- This child is off in neverland dreaming about holding hands and cuddly stuff. He/she is often doodling, writing letters and really not on this planet.
Kids are not machines or blocks of marble. Machines can have a bolt tightened or a chip inserted to improve performance. Marble can have a little chipped off here and a little there and suddenly voila! A masterpiece! They are living, thinking beings who can have bad and good days. They can get lost in daydreams and their own agendas. Therefore, it is important to plan for opportunities to see what they understand and what they are not getting.
This is why you need to use formative assessments. You have all of the characters I outlined plus so many more in your classes and they need you to break the code. They need you to figure out what they know and don't know. They need you to help them develop a better understanding of the content.
Are you using formative assessments?
If not, I will soon link you to some great techniques and support for getting started and continuing to use them.
Don't wait! Start now!
Thanks for listening.
By the way, this is part one of three.

Ernie is the 2016Georgia Teacher of the Year.
He is a history, civics, and government teacher at WindsorForest High School in Savannah, Georgia.
When Ernie turned 50 he left his world of law to become a public school teacher.
He always knew he would become a teacher but only after being a lawyer. Throughout his previous career, he kept thinking, “What have I done to make a difference in my community?”
This thought helped to push him make the change.
Ernie is fun to talk with and you will hear his energy and focus on kids, immediately.
One of the areas we talk about before we get into teaching is his experiences from substituting and its impact on his classroom mannerisms.
Listen for him to also mention the importance of building relationships with the kids.
One of Ernie’s strategies for connecting with the kids is standing at the door, greeting the kids with a smile and practicing active listening. (He explains this.)
Ernie describes the importance of learning and using the kids’ names.
We get into his favorite teaching strategies, how he hooks them into the lessons, and how he helps the kids to “get it.” We also talk about what his ideal classroom would like as well as what advice he would give to brand new teachers.
I hope that you will think about what has worked for Ernie and try some of his ideas in your classroom.
You can connect with Ernie through his email 2016TOTY@gmail.comor go to the WindsorForest High School website.
Thanks for listening.

Classroom Management is almost always dependent upon you. After all, you are probably the greatest variable in the classroom next to the kids. It is in your best interest to figure out what behaviors you have that might create problems for you. Hence, if they are your issues then quite possibly you can address those issues to help you be able to better manage student behaviors.
In today's episode, I am focused on:
6 Questions to Ask Yourself About You
- Do you know when you are losing it?
- Do you ignore or address?
- Do you plead and beg or is it my way or the highway?
- Do you need help with organizational skills?
- Are you consistent?
- Do you learn their names?
Thanks for listening today. I hope that you will take the time to ask yourself these questions and then respond truthfully.
Some of your issues of working with the kids could be you.
And only you can fix you.
Take care.

Jennifer Gonzalez is a former middle school language arts teacher who earned her National Board Certification.
After a break to be a stay at home mom, she took a position at a college where she works with pre-service teachers.
She is a podcaster, blogger, professional speaker, coach, trainer and author.
I reached out to Jenn after hearing her podcast Episode 31-The Power of Being a Dork (Cult of Pedagogy). I love the story about the trombone player and the song by Chicago.
Jenn notes, “to demonstrate an infectious love of learning the kids will roll their eyes and they will call you a dork…whatever… but it’s going to kind of sink in, even if it is later in life.”
Her commentary focuses on three ways “Dorking Out” can change the world:
-
Being a dork teaches other people to love learning.
-
Being a dork frees the dork in others.
-
Being a dork puts a dent in the status quo.
Her thoughts about teachers needing to release that inner dork and why is just too cool.
Also, check out our comments pertaining to her book that she co-authored with Mark Barnes called Hacking Education: 10 Quick Fixes for Every School. She talks about her favorite Hack- The Pineapple Chart.
Additionally, we discussed what her ideal classroom would look like and she referenced a segment of her blog that she calls Classroom Eye Candy.
By the way, check out an article she wrote called “Find Your Marigold: The One Essential Rule for New Teachers.” She says that it is her most downloaded post.
Hope you enjoy today’s interview.
Oh yeah, check out her book, Hacking Education: 10 Quick Fixes for Every School. I’ve read it. It’s filled with great ideas that you could put to action in your school or classroom, tomorrow.
Take care.
