In Loco Parentis
Latin, for in the place of a parent, is the legal doctrine under which an individual assumes parental rights, duties, and obligations without going through the formalities of legal Adoption. Of nearly four million children, only 16% live in families, while the other percent live below the federal poverty level and are headed by a single parent. Twenty percent of children (over 4.7 million) are affected by many risk factors. Parents serve as the first teachers of their kids during their early years. But now, teachers are drastically sharing those roles while students are enrolled. There are 3.5 million full and part-time public school teachers and around half a million private school teachers. Most teachers are women, especially in elementary schools. Women make up 76% of all teachers at public and private schools and an even larger share at the elementary school level.
Buddy Thornton: Why do teachers feel more responsible for student success than the parents, and how can we make education more intentional for parents?
Larry Davis: How important is it for teachers to develop relationships with parents?
Karl Berry: How important is it to provide students with safe learning choices, and what does it do for the student mindset?

Addressing Teacher Culture
Creating an atmosphere of safety that encourages staff and students' social, emotional, and physical well-being is critical for learning. Teachers are expected to give high-quality instruction aligned to their State standards while maintaining curricula, teaching practices and in diverse learning environments that are standards-based, evidence-based, engaging, differentiated, culturally responsive, and data-driven by considering what students should know and be able to do based on the State standards for that lesson. They break down content into appropriate daily objectives, decrease the formal language, measure mastery, illustrate the lesson objective on the board, and role-play with the students. Then restate the learning goal and have students reflect on their mastery level based on the completed learning activity. Teachers can only be successful in these endeavors by successfully addressing teacher culture. When this is done, students will know the lesson's expectations, be empowered to accomplish the plan, and have a common focus for learning.
Larry Davis: How are we using uses consensus-building, conflict-management, and communication to collaborate development of a shared campus vision and mission focused on teaching and learning?
Delna Bryan: How are we using information-gathering strategies to involve various stakeholders in planning processes that address teacher culture?
Shawania Marshall: Why should teachers in public schools be aware of these practices to access additional resources as needed to support learning?

Eradicate De Facto Segregation
Will families once again be challenged by school access to public education? Separation but equality could be a problem that families face in the future. This inequality is known as de facto segregation because it limits access to resources due to housing patterns, economic statuses, and other discriminatory circumstances like race and nationality. People like US District Judge William Wayne Justice in 1971, fought against these unconstitutional acts with the case the United States versus Texas, passed the Civil Order 5281, which required the integration of busing routes, extracurricular activities, school facilities decision-making and provision on student enrollment based on race color or national origin. Another essential court case was Milliken versus Bradley 1974 which makes it clear that the federal courts would not use the 14th Amendment to eradicate de facto segregation in the North and West. The power comes from knowing which discriminatory acts are demonstrated for remedial efforts to be required, and there must be evidence of illegal segregation of actions by school officials for a solid case to happen.
Larry Davis: How do discriminatory acts affect teacher turnover rates?
Jerry Green: Why does limited access affect student rights?
Karl Berry: How does de facto segregation affect schools and communities?
Buddy Thornton: Why is student test important in this discussion?
Dr. William D. Daniels: Why does inequality affect instruction, growth, standards, and professional development?

Panelist: Jerry Green | Karl Berry| Buddy Thornton |
The Child Benefit Theory
I am deeply saddened by the Supreme Court's ruling on June 29, 2023, concerning Affirmative Action and its impact on minorities in the United States. I say that because the fight for Affirmative Action was the only due process most minorities possess, and now they have deemed it unconstitutional as it relates to the equal protection clause. The equal protection clause is a clause that protects the rights of those minorities, predominantly black and brown, giving them equal insured rights, much like the privileged majority. Affirmative Action leads me to another critical decision: the Child-benefit Theory. The child-benefit Theory is a principle that says state funds can be given to private-school students if it helps the child. Child-Benefit Theory means that it is allowed if buying textbooks for all children in the state, including those in private schools, can benefit the child. However, direct government aid to religious schools is generally held to violate the First Amendment's establishment clause.
Karl Berry: Is there a constitutional problem with approving child benefit theory with religious-based schools?
Buddy Thornton: Why should stakeholders in public schools be aware of these practices to access additional resources as needed to support learning?
Jerry Green: What’s the impact of the Supreme Court’s decisions to overturn affirmative action and how does it affect Black/Brown families.

The School Parent's Bill of Rights
Parents have rights too. Parent universities are some of the entities that can help give those crucial rights to parents moving forward. One is because they give parents a job description that instills awareness of necessary resources to ask the principal or donors for scholars on school campuses each year. To successfully implement the parents' bill of rights, an action plan must show people how to find those resources and where to do follow-ups, like a helpdesk. To retrieve real-life perceptions and points of view about how the parents feel about misunderstandings and gaps within our school campuses. This bill clarifies that parents have a right to know what is happening in their child's school and maintain the right to make decisions about their child's education.
Larry Davis: How do you design learning experiences that meet the needs of rural and urban low-socioeconomic schools?
Delna Bryan: Is there a link between low-achieving schools and communication methods with students, staff, parents, and the community?
Buddy Thornton: How should we align parent rights with school objectives, goals, and practices to access additional resources to support learning?
Nina Taylor: What is the biggest complaint you hear from parents regarding this topic?

Interrupt the Chaos
Tornadoes are a perfect example of Chaos Theory. We can predict weather patterns wellwhen short, but as time passes, more factors influence the weather, making itpractically impossible to predict what will happen. After a horrible storm, youwant to come out, but your s afraid of what you might see. Human experiencescan leave you to say you want a new life but need help to ensure you get itright. I don't want to change because you have seen so much tragedy that hasled you to anxiety. Anxiety can last for a short time and then pass when whateverwas causing you to worry is over, but it can also last much longer and disruptyour life. Ongoing anxiety can affect your ability to eat, sleep, orconcentrate. It can prevent you from enjoying life, traveling, or even leavingthe house to go to work or school.
Randy “Boom Boom” Blake: Have you ever been in a storm that you thought you would survive?
Karl Berry: Is this curable, or will people have generalized anxiety disorder forever?
Buddy Thornton: How should we cope with anxiety when it strikes?Have you ever sought help for your concern, and if so, what kind of treatment or support did you receive?
Dawn Witte: Do you avoid certain situations or activities because of your anxiety, and if so, which ones?

You were Created with A Purpose
Every morning I give my students words of Affirmation so that they refocus and realign their mission statements. Every person should have a personal mission statement. I was created with a purpose; I am strong, resilient, and courageous. Every fiber in my bones will be and shall be successful. Those are the words of Affirmation I give my student every day. Because I want to instill in them that you are here on this planet, we called Earth for a purpose. You have a mission, an assignment, and everything in your space to make it happen. It would help if you had the idea, the vision, and the mentorship will guide you into making a plan. You are a creation of something unique in other words, you were tailor-made to fit your assignment and fulfill your mission with high regard and high expectation. That means you are strong enough, you are smart enough, and you are in shape mentally, emotionally, and spiritually sufficient to complete your journey and fulfill your mission.
Randy Blake: Have you ever been tried on and rejected on every side?
John Mirrione: Why is your mission different than others?

A.I. in the Mix of Educational Reform
People love to discuss education reform, although it has become something of a cliché,but in fact, it is not. We are talking about reforming an idea. We're talkingabout improving the people who are educated from something people have beenusing for years and years, but now we are forced to pivot to a new frontier ofcyberspace and innovation. This is now in the mix when discussing reformingeducation after COVID-19 and mass shootings. When we talk about transformation,we may transform into a new norm. I think about the movie Transformers and AutoBots. I think about how automobiles and machines transform into robots and muchmore advanced technology. This leads me to Artificial Intelligence or A.I.,which has now become what we are looking at as education as we know it today,so when we look at upgrading and reforming education, we must also add A.I.into the mix.
Dr. Kelly Brown: How is artificial intelligence becoming the most significant impact in the education field?
Karl Berry: How will the teacher’s position transform more as a coach and mentor to help facilitate a more interactive role than lecturing in thisnew educational age?
Buddy Thornton: A few decades from now, will we look back on thisperiod in education and label it as the pedagogical dark ages?

Choice Dynamics After Victimology
The U.S. Department of Justice conducted a study about violent crime and found that 1.4 million in 2018 to 1.2 million in 2019 were victims of violent crime since 2015. Children in specific environments may not display healthy behavior because it may not have been in their earlier stages of development, where key building blocks to learning begin. Continuing from the last I.E. L. Podcast episode (108), we will plunge deep into the long-term efficacy and positive social impact of Choice Dynamics. How humans perceive their surroundings and determine their preferred goals is always influenced by the choices they face and how well they navigate those choices. In academic environments, teachers undertake the arduous task of coordinating learning tasks while engaging with infinitely different students with unique worldviews and non-linear learning competencies.
Buddy Thornton: What is the beauty of Choice Dynamics, and why has it been hidden for so long in plain sight?
Buddy Thornton: From a psychosocial perspective, how does motivation impact student transformation?
Buddy Thornton: Student mindset is at one with their belief system. Please explain why co-creation is essential to success and provide some background to what you are saying to the listening audience.

Anti-Bullying and Social Responsibility
Revenge is an emotion one feels because of a negative experience. People today ignore real talk, real life, and their personal stories. If not presented in an entertaining can be highly overlooked. Suppose you would just dial back in your memory Rolodex to a point in your life where you experienced trauma. They were expressing thoughts or fantasies considering using violence to address an actual or perceived grievance, threat, or provocation. Many people have occasional or fleeting thoughts of violence in response to perceived grievances. Most do not act on those thoughts or move forward along the pathway. Therefore, the knowledge that someone is thinking about violence does not confirm that a danger exists, but it should alert us to the possibility and may indicate that the person may be struggling with a grievance of some sort or otherwise considering violence to solve a problem. Can factors like instability at home, abuse, and poor nutrition be attached to bullying? Educational leaders are tasked to describe how organizations are beginning to refocus on developing youth advocacy skills and information to address these community initiatives. Building mentors internally and externally to service this population within the school system is crucial for moving forward.
Buddy Thornton: What are the benefits of teaching children to identify the mood swings in other people?
Sande Roberts: Can factors like instability at home, abuse, and poor nutrition be attached to bullying?
Anika Jones: How can we bring all these resources together to create solutions to these types of challenges?

5 Essential Steps for Building a Trauma-Informed School
A trauma-informed school is an educational institution that seeks to understand and mitigate the adverse effects of trauma experienced by students.These schools ensure that students receive the necessary behavioral and mental health services. Life is Like A Pencil sharpener! If you think about it, though it is crushing the pencil, the result is that it is not only sharp but also smooth. To understand this concept, you must be aware of your environment and willing to enhance your mindfulness. Mindfulness and community building are appropriate building blocks for developmental levels for students, and understanding how vital it is to know who, what, when, where, and why when they engage with their communities; so to do this in a balanced way. You have to check the biases to ensure the diversities are treated equally and allowed to develop skills associated with their success in and outside the community.
Karl Berry: Recognize that situations that trigger emotional breakdowns are likely to occur during community involvement. How do you maintain awareness during community events?
Buddy Thornton: What would you tell school administrators about de-escalating mental breakdowns and understanding how self-regulation leads to safety?

Empathy for Self-Destructive Behavior
An uncountable number of people are dealing with unbalanced biochemical processes interacting with prolonged life stress and diverse personality factors that produce mental pain. To better understand the relationship between mental distress and self-destructive behavior, it is necessary to place it in a broader context that includes other important factors and processes related to suicidal behavior, such as extraordinarily hostile and stressful life events, as well as personality traits and factors that may exacerbate self-destructive behavior. One personality factor that may play a central role in the suicidal process is emotional regulation. Moreover, this is why empathy is an effective mode of regulation of emotions. It can mitigate negative feelings caused by stress and reduce or prevent mental pain in the long run, whereas sympathy can increase mental pain.
Buddy Thornton: Why empathy versus sympathy is an effective mode of regulation of emotions?
Dr. Theresa Poussaint: What real-life story connects you to this topic?

Youth Suicide Prevention
An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world. For every suicide, likely 20 other people are making a suicide attempt, and many more have serious thoughts of suicide. Suicide is a serious public health problem among all age groups. It exacts an enormous toll on youth due to the significant years of potential life lost. In 2020, suicide was the second leading cause of death among those ages 10-24 and 25-34. Research indicates there is no single cause of suicide. However, there is the belief that many of those who die by suicide have an underlying mental health or substance misuse condition. The most common mental health condition is depression. Research indicates that more males die by suicide, but more females attempt suicide. Some of the highest death rates (numbers per 100,000) are in the native American population and adult white males.

Worst Thing You Can Do to Someone Suicidal
In Texas, there are close to twice as many firearm suicides as there are firearm homicides (2011). One in ten high school students in Texas report attempting suicide; most of these attempts are with pills. 85% of youth under 18 who died by firearm suicide used a family member's firearm. In many states, it is against the law to allow a child under 17 unsupervised access to a loaded gun. Anything you do that can put distance between someone at risk and means of suicide can save a life. 24% of persons who attempt suicide indicate less than five minutes elapsed between the decision and the action to end their life. When someone is at risk for suicide in your home, there are caring steps and safety steps you can take.
Sande Roberts: How does one listen and respond if they are concerned someone might be thinking about suicide? How can they take in information to become more knowledgeable and capable but not be so upset or emotionally triggered when the subject is brought up?

Transformation of Higher Relationship Intelligence
Because we haven't been taught to heal and take control of the emotions that could shape our lives with dangerous after-effects, often, this hurts. When you can't have the one person or thing you want, you feel so crushed and dismayed, especially when they push you away. But, you're so in love with the image of what could have been, and now your heart is open, and sadness has entered in. A mixed reality that feels so true, but it's abusing you. With reoccurring trauma, like a spinning wheel turning in time, you're losing your grab, and it seems you will never get through to that place in time. Managing those challenges comes down to social-emotional intelligence. In a way that builds you from your experiences, relationships, and connections to help balance shared experiences and future expectations. Not getting too angry but activating core strengths is usually identified through positive support systems that allow teams to remember past misperceptions, apply the right approach to the moment, and co-create a better way to work together in the future.
Buddy Thornton: How do you heal first and then create a coping system to help you value and manage healthy relationships to be your best self?
Dr. Chanel Green: What would you say to an emotionally crushed student going through a traumatic situation based on your experience as an educator?
Estee Marie: Would you be the person you are today if you never had challenges? How do you use your art to build relationships and communicate emotions?

Relationship Intelligence
A problem exists when there is a goal that we want to achieve, but the process by which we will achieve it needs to be clarified or needs to be evident to us. For instance, there is something that we want to occur in our lives, yet we are still determining how to make it happen. Everyone must be on the same page when helping a child build self-regulation skills. Collaborate across disciplines by teaching, practicing, and reinforcing self-regulation skills: Thus giving vital tools for students that help them problem-solve managing hurdles and student challenges. We want to help our students learn adaptive ways to manage their feelings and use prosocial behaviors.

Is It Smart To Back Out of A Fight
Violence is all around us, but rules are all around us because of what we see and have experienced. Headlines say aggressive behavior seems more out of control nowadays than in the past. Today it's so common to see people fighting, in homes, at sporting events, on public transportation, in school, or even at the workplace. Intervening in a physical or verbal fight can be dangerous, but sometimes it is the right thing to do. We want to discuss several strategies to help try to de-escalate these types of situations. We must educate our kids about these experiences and our society as a whole.

Reframing My Inner Perspective
In the mind of even the most skilled artist, an image can often be reframed from what the creator had in mind. It may have started as something basic but turned into something complex after the many brush strokes from the paintbrush to the canvas. Or vice versa, something very complex and returned to simplicity. After all, art changes over time, like the sun's rays through the day. Art is communication in the way it takes the viewer on a journey something down memory lane. They are balancing colors from one scene to the next. Experienced art connoisseurs understand the history of an art piece and how the artist uses reflections to tell a story. There is a detail within the artwork through color separation, moods, and emotions that are raised from the tapestry of the canvas that becomes alive, almost seemingly a living, breathing organism leaving the audience with either smiles, tears, anger, or laughter. Art is a language. As you walk through an art gallery, you see how each artist used depth perception and those measurements to invoke an inevitable reaction or emotion from the onlooker. Art is not just on display to be looked at; it is there to model what greatness looks like. Much like this painting, we selves are also masterpieces that life created not for us to hide in the shadows of our sorrows but to be on display as living examples of role models. But, in many cases, this is only achieved when we can reframe what portraits we had in mind before time and experience reshaped our mindsets.
Buddy Thornton: When turning your attention toward yourself feels challenging, what are some simple ways to navigate a place of peace and wholeness?
Buddy Thornton: How do you incorporate reflection into your teaching practices while creating structures and outliners that help you evenly mix the good emotions with the bad?

Mindfulness in Being My Best Self
Self-care means being honest about what you need and following through on the fundamental questions using simplicity. Practicing self-care can be as simple as knowing your limits. Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60. More than 280 million people in the world have depression. Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Ensuring our needs are met is as important as caring for those we love most. When turning your attention toward yourself feels challenging, there are simple ways to navigate a place of peace and wholeness.

Overcoming the Shame of a first-semester college student
The overall status dropout rate for 16- to 24-year-olds decreased from 7.4 percent in 2010 to 5.3 percent in 2020. During this time, the status dropout rate declined for Hispanics (15.1 to 7.4 percent) and Black (from 8.0 to 4.2 percent). Finding a college can be very stressful, and picking the wrong institution can leave you shamed. People can make you feel powerless and small because of the school you choose to attend. Until you become tormented by an audience that only exists in your imagination. The constant inner criticism begins to suck all their confidence and energy. Leaving them haunted by Shame negatively affects a person's psychological and physical well-being.
Dr. Stephen Jones: How do you tell future college/trade students or other professions what's important to them, and how do you help them or find someone to help them create a personalized list of schools to consider?
Dr. Stephen Jones: What would you tell future students about the confusion you get to (mostly) choosing your schedule for the first time, especially if you attend an online institution?
Dr. Stephen Jones: Financial Hurdles are real. There is a correlation between first-generation college students, racial minorities, and lower socioeconomic status.

You're Not Playing By the Rules, But I Still Forgive You
Jealousy is a common human emotion that can make even the sanest person go crazy. In Renaissance England, the revival of art and literature under the influence of classical models in the 14th–16th centuries was widely expressed. The literature of this time related most feelings or emotions to colors. The color Green was compared with envy and jealousy. Portia, considered a personality that represents beauty and grace, refers directly to 'green-eyed jealousy,' Then, in the later play Othello, Shakespeare turns it into an even more visual idea, making it a monster, suggesting that it is powerful and dangerous. He adds the caution 'beware' to make it even more threatening. When people ask if you can manage your hater friends, you nod and usually agree, but deep within, it doesn't help much because you know that you are ultimately being asked to manage a monster. All because they hate that you have what they desire, so they'll do whatever it takes to 'balance things out.' Whatever you do, don't let them bring you down to their level.
Buddy Thornton: What is the first step to not believing the lies that haters try to convince you to think about yourself that aren't true?

You've Defeated All the Odds, and You Keep Winning, But Can You Forgive?
We share the same "fears": missing out on life, wanting to look great and feel amazing, and living a better life. However, some people never reach this goal, which may cause animosity among those in their circle. But, when you hate someone, that evil is like a womb that spreads when infected, and if left untreated, it will eventually spread throughout the whole body, making it sick until death. People often don't hate you because of something you did to them directly. People often hate you because you have choices, mainly when it seems they don't. When you hate someone, it can become contagious among your friends and associates, and now your friends dislike the person you dislike. That caused your heart embarrassment because of the denial because of the rejection. You've Defeated All the Odds, and You Keep Winning, But Can You Forgive?
Panel Question: What Happened To You That Caused You To Develop A Forgiving Mindset?
Buddy Thornton: What is the first step to being healed so they can forgive, and their forgiveness can be the new tone that says moving forward?
Sande Roberts: How do you let go of the pain, and what questions are teachers not asking their students during conflicts?
John Mirrione: How do we go to a point where we unravel, nurture, and teardown the imagination of the person that traumatized us in the first place?

Asking the Right Questions at the Right Time
Throughout the history of the teaching pedagogy, have always been required to check for understanding with their students. In addition to classroom checks, district and statewide testing can be used to monitor progress. Informal strategies such as exit tickets and journal checks are presently utilized today, and more formal ones, such as quizzes or conferences. Benchmark tests can assist with monitoring progress and ensure that the student knows their accommodations and how to use them. This periodic check allows for intervention if a student needs to make adequate progress toward their goals. Parental involvement is also a crucial element to help keep young scholars involved in the classroom as well. Connectionism (Edward Thorndike) The learning theory of Thorndike represents the behavioral psychology of connections: Learning results from associations between stimuli and responses. Such associations or "habits" become strengthened or weakened by the nature and repetition of a particular pattern. When a student's patterns or trends are noticed, it becomes more attainable to discover their strengths and weaknesses. Identifying the student's challenges and goal setting becomes more intentional for growth.
Buddy Thornton: How do we bridge the parental involvement gap between families in high-poverty schools to accommodate and modify how we get them more responsibly involved with their scholars’ education results?
Shawn Young: How are you and your team continuing to assist schools and districts Post COVID-19? And why do many educational institutions want to listen to what you say about classroom management?

Inspiring Others With Your Personal Stories
Have you ever told your story? Telling your account requires you to discover your true self, and for many, it can be not easy, but it's also much fun. This podcast will discuss the basics of revealing your truth through a testimony, including plot, characters, and setting. We will also provide tips and tricks for making your story engaging and fun for kids. Understanding the underlying factors behind the behavior can help you tremendously regarding self-discovery and personal stories. One of the biggest challenges in pursuing self-discovery is being truthful with ourselves, even if it includes opening up the wounds of our past, our shortcomings, and our fears about the future. But recovering requires that emotional hurt be thoroughly processed. Not everyone who endures a traumatic experience is scarred by it; the human psyche has a tremendous capacity for recovery and growth. Recovering from a traumatic experience requires that the painful emotions be thoroughly processed. This is why personal sharing stories are so powerful and healing for all.
Daniel Blanchard: What would you say to a child being bullied or in a traumatic situation based on your experience as an educator?
Randy Blake: Would you be the person you are today if you had never been bullied?
Buddy Thornton: How do you manage bullying without placing a target on the bullying child's back that could potentially follow them for the rest of their life?

Why Must Leaders Discover Themselves First?
Throughout history, honorable people have endangered their lives to save others. In most cases, they have forgotten; we call them Unsung heroes. There are many stories of how educators and paraprofessionals have changed peoples' attitudes about life. These experiences create a canvas to paint the lyrics and tapestries that adolescents need to thrive in our society. Influence is power; that unconsciously affects our understanding, actions, and decisions. With thoughts residing deep in the subconscious, these influences are formed from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for social or political power. Instead, they are fashioned by daily home life, peers, Church, daycare, friends, community, mentors, drama, parents, job loss, poor grades, local crime, law enforcement, financial challenges, and so on. These experiences with our environment influence our character traits and daily practices during adolescent development. According to the CDC, African-Americans have the highest rate of current depression (12.8%), followed by Hispanics (11.4%) and whites (7.9%). More specifically, African Americans' most common mental illness disorders include major depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, suicide, and posttraumatic stress disorder Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
John Mirrione: Leaders need confidence, so invest in believing in yourself. Why are so many young leaders in socio-economically deprived environments so limited in what options they have available to them? Are there enough opportunities to apply their learning at home, school, and in communities?
Nina Taylor: As far as minorities are concerned, the bigger picture remains unchanged. In the last 23 years, the U.S. minority population has risen 10.7 points; but the minority in entertainment is up only 0.1.?
Buddy Thornton: How can leaders stay competitive in their fields over the years without sabotaging their competition? This tactic is an oldie but a goodie: some of America's most incredible people in business employed these strategies during the Progressive Era.

Setting Up Master Class Courses
Our education system is altering. Parents, teachers, and pupils are confused about the random changes imposed on them since the onset of COVID-19. Teachers are leaving in droves and disgust. Most of our time, effort, and money spent on educating the young is mismanaged by forcing them to learn things they do not want to know or need to know in places they have not chosen to be and in the unchosen company of fellow conscripts. Why create a masterclass? Such questions can help content developers prepare and gather all the resources they need for their masterclass. Making a masterclass can seem time-consuming, but many benefits for you and your learners. The best way to create a successful masterclass is to plan for it. Communicating appropriately and effectively with others is necessary through various channels to build up and maintain a strong network and healthy relationships. Healthy relationships through practical communication skills are essential to help rebuild our society.

Opening Pandora's Box to Create a Positive School Culture
The expression to open Pandora’s box has long been used to describe an act that may have unforeseen and unpleasant consequences. It derives from a Greek myth in which the woman Pandora, driven by curiosity, opens a jar (or a box) containing various human evils, unintentionally loosing them on the world. Building a Marquee Culture begins by aligning the school norms that build values. Rituals are recurring employee activities that build positive energy and reinforce brand values. Rituals can be led by leaders and include things such as all-staff activities. In addition, the media and travel are creating rapid cultural changes. As the English language becomes more important worldwide, its cultural practices influence. As there is much overlap between cultures, measuring them is particularly difficult. Western culture is found in many areas of the world, and American culture has become more diverse thanks to immigration. Although it is challenging to measure cultures, there are some apparent differences worldwide. For example, Western culture differs significantly from those found in post-Cold War era countries. Further differences are seen in North Africa, Southeast Asia, and other areas. Such differences are apparent regarding religion, cuisine, and social etiquette.

Bring Empathic Leadership Back To School 2022-2023
In 2019 15.1 million students attended high school in the US. Three million two hundred nine thousand five hundred ten students graduated from high school in 2020. In the education system in the United States, there are currently 26,727 high schools in the US and 1.8 million teachers. The graduation rate is at an all-time high of 85.3%. Education is healthy for the soul. However, helping students find support systems are vital for their souls and adolescent development. So we are dealing with teaching the whole child—this is why professional development is so important. Interdisciplinary learning includes freedom of inquiry, critical thinking, deductive reasoning, reasoning by analogy, and synthetic thinking through integrated education. Empathetic leaders have a high propensity to care about the world around them, Hohman says. They will comprise but not go against their values. They tend to be optimistic, considerate, and kind and excel at leading transformational teams. These strategies are set in place to help teachers have clear, measurable goals that can later be revisited to evaluate progress.
Buddy Thornton: Are we doing a good job at assigning a trained and experienced mentor teacher to support each new teacher?
John Mirrione: How do we give your team ongoing contact for support and leading from within the team instead from the front?

100 & Beyond Anti-Bullying Campaign: Forgiveness and Reconciliation
When I forgive someone, there is no guarantee that we will have a restored relationship. It may well be that we remain estranged even after I have forgiven someone. Recite Poem "Problems, contemplations, suicide The world is against me blow my mind He raped me I was only nine. Scared to tell my mommy because he beat us all the time. I was broken and depleted until I found that powder. That controlled my mind.
Life in the fast lane; no one can hold me now. Hey big daddy, think I'm crazy, no, just sassy. It is just the demons that got me bound. Let me tell you how it all happened.

Powerlessness and Anxiety to Isolation
I noticed that many guest panelists on this podcast have either experienced someone close to them being bullied or been a victim of bullying. They had usually faced these dark episodes when no one was around to help. Furthermore, in many cases, someone gets seriously hurt and even hospitalized. Well, one of the central questions after the fact is that there are no adults around when you need them, or this happened because of the lack of safety procedures and protocols for school leaders to help combat bullying and give coping skills and support systems to bullied students. Bullying is aggressive behavior that negatively affects adolescents' academic, social, emotional, and psychological development. Bullying is often a repeated, intentional, and harmful behavior of one or more students against weaker students. The victims of bullies can typically go from powerlessness and anxiety to isolation and physical ailments. The consequences of bullying can run a wide range of difficulties. Nevertheless, knowing how family members might be affected can help reduce the overall impact of bullying.
Buddy Thornton: I believe that educators should develop sustained, trusting relationships between adults and students. What does being picked on and bullied feel like to a child?
Randy Blake: What self-defense strategies do you recommend for fighting against bullies?

Being charitable toward others comes with clear expectations from the beginning; the expectations must be put together in the beginning foundation to halt any ethical reflections that could potentially be problematic and cause social discourse. Safety must be at the forefront, especially in dealing with community involvement which will give room for sharing abilities and being charitable to work together, provide expectations, monitor progress, present clear information, set boundaries with time, and form a sense of morale. It is essential to foster positive relationships by promoting ongoing, two-way communication and involvement.

Individual Education Program and Community Involvement
What is IEP, an Individual Education Program? Educational leaders are tasked to describe how students who qualify for special education services can have a voice in a positive way for school culture and vision. A student's IEP will specify the strengths and challenges the student has in each content area and determine accommodations and modifications required to be implemented for the student. There are some ways that organizations are beginning to refocus on developing youth advocacy skills and information to address these initiatives, and building mentors internally and externally to service this population within the school system is crucial moving forward. Special education programs in the United States were made mandatory in 1975 when the United States Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) in response to discriminatory treatment by public educational agencies against students with disabilities.

Identity AFFECTS Roles of Confusion
In 2020, Congress designated the new 988 dialing code to be operated through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Erik Erikson, a behavioral therapist, was interested in how social interaction and relationships affect development and growth. According to Erikson, people progress through a series of stages as they grow and change throughout life. During each stage, everyone faces a developmental conflict that must be resolved to develop that stage's primary virtue successfully. As they transition from childhood to adulthood, teens may feel confused or insecure about themselves and how they fit into society. As they seek to establish a sense of self, teens may experiment with different roles, activities, and behaviors. According to Erikson, this is important to forming a solid identity and developing a sense of direction in life.

Parental Involvement Beyond Extracurricular Activities
Sports are the most popular extracurricular activity for kids in this age group. About seven in ten parents (73%) with at least one child ages 6 to 17 say their children participated in sports or athletic activities in the 12 months before the survey. Parents seem to have a stronger bond with their children regarding extracurricular activities, which in most cases are just as important as formal education. Many children thrive on those activities and can gain the needed confidence to succeed in the classroom. Parents must also connect with teachers to ensure that, as a parent, they help keep their young scholars involved in the school. Connectionism (Edward Thorndike) The learning theory of Thorndike represents the behavioral psychology of connections: Learning results from associations between stimuli and responses. Such associations or "habits" become strengthened or weakened by the nature and repetition of a particular pattern.

Hanging Out With Bullies
Are you friends with a bully, or are you a bully yourself? More attention has been paid to bullying in the past few decades than ever before. According to the National Bullying Prevention Center, bullying is "an intentional behavior that hurts, harms, or humiliates a student, either physically or emotionally, and can happen while at school, in the community, or online. Interesting enough, even if someone does not witness the bullying itself, there are signs that a person is being bullied, such as the person appearing depressed, avoiding school or other places where the behaviors are occurring, becoming aggressive themselves, withdrawing and isolating, avoiding social events, having difficulty expressing feelings, neglecting their appearance or becoming preoccupied with their appearance. With students ages 12–18, the percentage of students of Two or more races (37 percent) who reported being bullied was higher than the corresponding percentages for White students (25 percent) and Black students (22 percent), which were in turn more elevated than the percentage of Asian students (13 percent) who reported being bullied. In addition, higher rates of students of Two or more races and White students than Hispanic students (18 percent) reported being bullied at school during the school year.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation for Student Behavior Post COVID-19
Managing students' behavior during COVID-19 can be a painful experience for
teachers, and diffusing small behaviors before they become big problems requires
a skillful balance of concealing your emotions and using techniques to de-escalate
the behavior. John B. Watson was a pioneering psychologist who played an
essential role in developing behaviorism. Watson believed that psychology should
primarily be observable scientific behavior. Watson is remembered for his research on
the conditioning process. According to Watson (1997), the core of the Theory of
Caring is that "humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be
separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce." This learning theory
states that behaviors are learned from the environment and says that innate or
inherited factors have very little influence on behavior.

Applying Racial Equity for Severe Behavior
Classroom management is so much more than a set of appropriate rules and consequences. Motivation, instructional planning, parent engagement, teacher efficacy, and consistency of high expectations are irrevocably intertwined. Educators are now hard-pressed to make clear instructions and flexible opportunities for the physical space, the hybrid space, and the digital space. A climate that fosters and values respect, decency, and success for EVERY student and staff member is what schools should strive for in their policies and practices. To help students meet demanding course standards in academic and career/technical classrooms, each teacher must establish and maintain a learning environment that supports and motivates students to do their personal best. Teachers and principals can use a skill set of strategies to create focused and productive classrooms that help students achieve higher performance levels.
Patrícia Cerqueira Seidler: What policies must be aligned with racial equity standards to develop the best instructional plans that facilitate bell-to-bell teaching in classrooms with potentially challenging behavioral students?

Spreading Hope for Students During COVID-19
Because of COVID-19, teachers and leaders must change the way students interact by helping them become more mindful of selflessness, setting clear expectation goals, and tracking their impact while learning. In martial instruction, it is essential that you exercise patience during lessons. When teaching, take it one step at a time. Martial Arts instruction is vital because not all students can learn fast or learn four moves at a time. The teacher should know how to establish a classroom climate that fosters learning, equity, and excellence and use this knowledge to create a physical and emotional environment that is safe and productive. Spreading hope is necessary when facing the high-level challenges that have tragically been exposed since the onset of COVID-19. Low proficiency scores rocked traditional public schools. As a percentage of students enrolled in the choice program, 62% of students tested at basic or below basic for math, 12% were proficient in math, and only 2% were advanced. We know that U.S. Students from Low-Income Families Underperforming Their Peers Overseas.

Desegregation of Public Libraries
The term "radical reconstruction" refers to the sweeping social, economic, and political reforms passed by Republicans in Congress that made up the Reconstruction Acts of 1867. The notable achievements of Reconstruction were the ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, which focused on formally ending slavery and disenfranchisement of African Americans. The legislation was passed to ensure equality among all men regardless of race and rebuild the nation's infrastructure destroyed during the Civil war, most notably in the southern regions. During Reconstruction, the southern state governments represented a coalition of African Americans known as the Freedmen Bureau that provided relief and helped tens of thousand formerly enslaved people. However, Racial segregation's systematic division of people into racial or other ethnic groups was still alive. On March 27, 1961, nine young African American students were arrested for entering the whites-only public Library in Jackson, Mississippi. A local newspaper called the read-in the “first move to integrate public facilities in Jackson.” Geraldine Edwards Hollis was one of at the historically black Tougaloo College in Mississippi who Desegregating Public Libraries,”
Geraldine Edwards Hollis: Mrs. Hollis, please share what happened that day when you and the others requested books not held by the "colored" branch of the Library. Police arrested you and your group because you went to another Library where the law said you did not. They did not belong.
Geraldine Edwards Hollis: Were there any confusing parts in your mind about why you had to go to a whites-only Library to search for a particular book. Furthermore, what went through your heart, emotions, and mind when they called the police on you and the other young scholars?
Geraldine Edwards Hollis: An Attorney and artist named Michael Crowell created a portrait of Hollis for a Banned Books Week trading card published by the Library in 2016, which won a Special Jury Prize because it depicted a banned person rather than a book.
Geraldine Edwards Hollis: In June 1962, U.S. District Court Judge William Harold Cox ordered the Library to desegregate. How did you feel when you received that news? Especially when the Tougaloo Nine episode was one of the first desegregation victories in the 1960s civil rights campaign in Mississippi.As a Civil Rights World Changer, what advice would you leave with young people today?

The Power of Love for Racial Equity School Communities
Psycho-logically, engaged learners are intrinsically motivated by curiosity, interest, and enjoyment and are likely to want to achieve their own intellectual or personal goals when they see discipline, concentration, investment, enthusiasm, and effort. Problem-solving is an instructional technique that promotes intellectual involvement and active engagement. Studies show that closing racial gaps in wages, housing credit, lending opportunities, and access to higher education would amount to an additional $5 trillion in the gross domestic product in the American economy over the next five years. Teaching is all about listening, speaking, reading, presenting, and writing. Teachers who hone their communication skills are prepared to instruct, advise and mentor students entrusted in their care. One of the by-products of racial equity in school communities is by creating opportunities for the improvement of historically underserved communities, which benefits everyone.

How is COVID-19 Affecting Student Learning?
School learning rubric in the past has always provided for a role-play activity in which students perform characters in a society that influences political, economic, geographical, and social co-creation. That all provides some interactive experience to maximize student learning during a unit of study for time management's sake. When time management strategies lack implementation, it leaves room for chaos as students constantly need guidance to pace their learning. Staying in groups and systematically moving from learning center to learning center upon teacher prompting is most efficient. Nevertheless, COVID-19 has significantly affected group thinking/ mass practice, typically instructions repeated over a concentrated period of information or skills to help reinforce learning. Which ultimately has affected student test scores. Students who took tests before and after COVID-19 school closures were demographically similar, and all analyses were limited to smaller sample sizes in the spring 2020 and fall 2021. The learning theories like – behaviorism, constructivism, and information/symbolic processing that educators have used in the past are strong enough to build from in this new technological age.
Buddy Thornton: As a positive social change agent, why is it crucial for teachers to demonstrate awareness of appropriate behavior standards and expectations for students at various developmental levels?
Kendricke Bullard: These teaching insinuations for student and teacher roles and instructional strategies are still the framework for identifying the nature of instructional problems, but are those same assessment strategies relevant for today’s educator?

Fighting for Civil Rights from a Socioeconomics Perspective
Education, Occupation, and income are considered the leading indicators of a successful life in our society. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory views human development as a socially mediated process in which children acquire their cultural values, beliefs, and problem-solving strategies through collaborative dialogues with more knowledgeable members of society. In modern societies, social mobility is typically measured by career and generational changes in the socioeconomic levels of occupations. Erik Erikson – focused on how children socialize and how this affects their sense of self. His Theory of Psychosocial Development includes eight stages from infancy to old age. A healthy personality is a result of completing each stage of development. Conflict arises if the individual does not complete a stage. Studies revealed a need for universal interventions techniques like these in school, community, and family settings that seek to avoid conflicts with peers but promote collaboration necessary for social mobility.

A Self-Directed Classroom Culture
Educating students includes helping them develop the skills to be clear about their values while letting go of the idea that a student’s success reflects on you. As educators and leaders, we must be clear in communicating with people who have diverse backgrounds. Confidence building is one of the many vital tools to help support individual children's learning inclusively. High expectations involve expressive and healthy relationships throughout their education in personal and school settings that model how they learn. We prepare them for this when we foster peer support, consider natural consequences, and believe in their abilities to have positive growth mindsets. As teens navigate peer culture, leadership skill sets, acceptance to failure, and learning culture plays an essential role in preparing them with the social skills needed for all students to have their voice and to be successful moving forward.

Vagueness in Educational Policy Creates Challenges for All
Do we value and give reverence to our educators in the United States, like other countries give value and reverence for their teachers? Teachers on all tiers of education already have the responsibility to create an equitable environment for student success in the classroom. Educating students to include working with parents, administrators, teacher unions, and school board trustees as resources for positive youth development. The policy must be enforced to maintain the professional, ethical conduct, practices, and performances required by all school districts, educational institutions, education certification programs, and education agencies in the United States. The education system in the United States is made up of a large proportion of independent school districts and public schools. Educational policy means that each district has the responsibility and accountability of maintaining its own rules and governing board and adhering to laws and rules established by their state-level Legislature and the United States Congress.

Self-Transformation is Key
COVID-19 pandemic has restructured our society and how we interact. Our leaders may need to join forces globally and do more on new channels concerning self-transformation for our loved ones. Self-transformation has a dual purpose; not only does it involve the transformation and purification of your outer personality, but it also creates an awakening and strengthening of your inner self. Maslow's hierarchy of needs said that "Basic human needs such as food and shelter must be met before higher learning, reflection, and self-actualization can occur." How we perceive one another also shapes how we view each other across our different social layers and environments—the root cause of our influence.
Christopher Terry: You live in the United Kingdom, so I believe this question is very relevant for you. Why do educators need to continue to learn about diversity issues throughout their careers?
Buddy Thornton: This is a global question: Why should teachers focus more on the underserved community children in the future, and why do our young scholars have such a strong desire for acceptance in their adolescent years?

Teen Suicide and Absenteeism
Suicide occurs when a person chooses to end his or her life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2019, suicide was the second leading cause of death among children and adolescents ages 13 to 19 and the leading cause of death among 13-year-olds. It is the 10th leading cause of death among all Americans. Suicide is a serious public health problem among all age groups. It exacts an enormous toll among youth due to the significant years of potential life lost. In 2018, suicide was the second-leading cause of death among 10- to 24 years old. Youth suicidal ideation, attempt, and completion are on the rise. Far more adolescents have suicidal thoughts or attempt suicide and survive than those who die by suicide. The 2019 Youth Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System results show that 18.8% of high school students seriously considered attempting suicide, and 8.9% attempted suicide. The cost of suicide attempts in the United States in 2019 was estimated to be $70 billion. Risk factors associated with suicide among adolescents include a family history of depression or suicide, loss of a parent to death or divorce, physical or sexual abuse, lack of a support network, feelings of social isolation, bullying.
Sandi Roberts: Some of our students have been directly impacted by suicide, or they may be providing care for a family member that attempted suicide. What should parents and teachers be on the lookout for to counter our students' suicidal plans and attempts?

High Expectations During COVID-19
Most schools will continue all of the COVID-19 precautions since the outbreak started in 2020, including vaccinations, testing, masking, and symptom tracking. The teachers' role in the process has never been more significant in providing the help and resources students need to meet these goals. Teachers will have to communicate to both parents and students that they have the skills and support needed to succeed. When students struggle to meet high expectations, a conversation must be made to determine the issue and plan to help the student get back on track. Moving forward, both parents and teachers must give students the autonomy to discuss and make some decisions as a class will reinforce expectations and encourage self-monitoring.

Coopetition through Repetition and Reinforcement
Repetition is possibly the most intuitive principle of learning, traceable to ancient Egyptian and Chinese education, with records dating back to approximately 4,400 and 3,000 B.C. Even Aristotle commented on the role of repetition in learning by saying, "it is frequent repetition that produces a natural tendency" and "the more frequently two things are experienced together, the more likely it will be that the experience or recall of one will stimulate the recall of the other." Educators and organizational leaders can increase in value when repetition is used as a reinforcement strategy. In other words, regardless of how much competition occurs, repetition through co-opetition partners will produce more complementary outcomes with competing entities. Coopetition is the act of cooperation between competing companies; businesses that engage in both competition and cooperation are said to be in co-opetition. It is recommended that organizations should strive to engage in an "optimal level" of co-opetition, as "too little" or "too much" of such strategies can be harmful to various types of company performance.
Montez Jones: Why should organizational leaderships strategies focus on curriculums for accessing new resources for people who share the same interest or passion

Gifts and Curses of Giftedness and Parental Roles
The gift and the curse of giftedness and talent and parent roles have never been more vital than now. "Giftedness can be explained as the ability to solve complex problems in effective, efficient, elegant, and economical ways. Using this explanation, a gifted individual can use existing knowledge when necessary and apply known methods when appropriate, reaching solutions based on the best available knowledge and methods. However, a gifted individual can also abandon existing knowledge and concepts, redefine problems, devise new methods, and reach entirely different solutions.” As teens navigate peer culture, parents play an essential role in preparing them with the social skills needed to make intelligent choices and avoid peer pressure. Since COVID-19, this critical developmental step towards gifted and talented individuals has dramatically shifted as humans redesign what we had in mind.
How would you talk to your mentees about navigating through technology while maintaining a strong sense of community and one-on-one interactions with family and friends?

Recycled Racial Gaps in Education?
In 2015, 30 percent of public students attended public schools in which the combined enrollment of minority students was at least 75 percent of total enrollment. Over half of Hispanic (60 percent), Black (58 percent), and Pacific Islander students (53 percent) attended such schools. In contrast, less than half of Asian students (38 percent), American Indian/Alaska Native students (37 percent), students of two or more races (19 percent), and White students (5 percent) attended such schools. A learning goal is the big picture focus of a class or unit within a class. Many educators discuss new strategies for incorporating a more culturally sensitive curriculum in the big picture. Connecting such goals to the standards will ensure that the goals are age-appropriate and aligned with campus and district goals. Learning goals evolve with time to complete learning objectives specific to learning outcomes or the specific skill or knowledge that the student is expected to master in a lesson. The research shows that predominantly white schools have more resources than black schools. However, lack of resources only has a negligible effect on academic achievement compared to students' family backgrounds.
Buddy Thornton: These are often the specific standards states use to assess students on state exams and other outcomes the district or school has created. They should start with a verb and be measurable. Why aren’t more minorities being advocated by major educational and governmental institutions?
Nina Taylor: Studies show that minority students attending HBCUs have increased levels of engagement, more interactions with faculty, and greater involvement with faculty research projects. How should HBCUs get more involved with public educations?

Can We Breathe!!!
The mid-1800s, a period of significant economic development during the rise of industrialization in the United States, produced both pros and cons. Two hundred years later, now more than ever, educators, especially in our black and brown communities, must express the benefits of organization, both through role modeling and lecturing. These influences may not be displayed in a child’s earlier stages of development, where key building blocks to learning begin. So we as community leaders and educators must start telling students the benefit of budgeting and storing essential documents properly like time management skills, communications skills, self-monitoring charts, and checklists. In some cases, it is helpful for educators to have clear and specific expectations for how students should implement these strategies and approaches. Another vital thing to remember is that not all students have the same interests, skills, backgrounds, or needs. Teachers cannot discriminate based on any factor and should aim to identify, understand, and meet the needs of each student, regardless of their background.
Sherelle Alexander Reed: The messy link between the past and modern-day management of people of color is tedious. Your work experiences range from pastors, preachers, educators, nurse practitioners, attorneys, social activists, business professionals, business owners, entrepreneurs, artists, consultants, counselors, trainers, corporate leaders, military services women, and other creatives.

Achieving Education Through Self-Motivation
Students benefit from understanding what causes procrastination and from specific tactics that help them manage their study time. One of the tasks in education is to develop the ability and desire in students to continue their education outside the classroom. The most effective way to implement this is by teaching and allowing students to direct their learning. As students mature, they should be given more freedom in their learning. Allowing students to make choices increases their motivation. One of the by-products of self-directed learning is that students begin to take responsibility for their education and develop a sense of ownership in their learning. Students will most likely have a better learning experience and become lifelong learners if they feel ownership of their education.

How to Beat Stereotypes by Seeing People as Individuals
Racial stereotypes of early American history had a significant role in shaping the African-Americans culture. Pictures of famous characters like; Sambo, Jim Crow, the Savage, Jezebelle, and now today's infamous “Haters” are just in most cases, as powerful then as they are today. The stereotyping of African-Americans was brought to the theatrical stage with the initiation of the blackface minstrel made famous in Entertainment Extravaganzas and Hollywood. Beginning in the early 19th century, white performers darkened their faces with burnt cork, painted bizarrely overstated white mouths over their own, put on woven black wigs, and took the stage to entertain large crowds. The character they created was called Jim Crow. This "city dandy" was the northern counterpart to the southern "plantation darky," the Sambo. Because the media's portrayal of African-Americans has been conducive to forming stereotypes, interventions in this area are an excellent place to start.
Buddy Thornton: Even if a stereotype might seem proper for a group member, it is wrong to assume that the stereotype applies to all members of that group. How are children who are not part of the dominant or privileged group susceptible to stereotype threat, which can cause them to experience anxiety in situations that can potentially reinforce negative stereotypes about their social group?
Mama Pat Matthews: Reevaluation of the content of television commercials, magazine advertisements, movies, plays, cultural events, museum exhibits, and other media reveals where African-American positive representation needs to be increased. What vital tools do mature need to teach the young about a strong sense of pride in their heritage?

Being Charitable Towards Others During COVID-19
COVID-19 is creating new needs while putting enormous financial pressure on all nonprofits. From medical and public health needs related to the response to economic uncertainty impacting vulnerable populations, the COVID-19 pandemic is creating unmet needs above and beyond the usual. Many nonprofits also have to cancel many of their usual programs and fundraising events out of concern for public safety. Leading and motivating employees to perform optimally amidst a global pandemic is only possible with compassion, empathy, and community. People benefit most from practical and predictable routines. However, this new normal will require a different structure that will call for people to be more interconnected now more than ever. In a scenario like this, the phrase that comes to mind is interdisciplinary instruction, and strategies come into play. Interdisciplinary instruction integrates multiple subject areas by putting them together. By integrating subjects, community leaders can provide communities with a broader understanding of activities and develop their awareness of how the knowledge and skills of each subject area can be utilized in other subjects.

Universal Education System RewirEd
The Universal Education system is an intertwined system in which diverse developmental strategies must be approached, keeping in mind that one area can affect growth in another. When we add in children with cognitive delays, we must include social delays because it is common for these individuals to have different interests than their same-aged peers. In most cases, this can create challenges in social interactions, which may require some extra support. There are four main domains of development: Cognitive - knowledge and intellectual skills; Physical - body growth and movement; Social - interactions with people and the environment; Emotional - processing and understanding feelings. Low socioeconomic standing itself is not a negative factor in the development, but children living in poverty are more likely to be affected by negative factors. For example, children who grow up in homes with limited resources are more likely to experience food scarcity. Regardless of socioeconomic standing, any child growing up in a home that does not promote academic learning and socialization might be improper in their cognitive and social development.
Buddy Thornton: Why do we see new waves of cognitive and social challenges in our low-SES communities, and what can we do as change agents to be more civically involved?

World Languages In The Virtual Classroom
Why is it so important that school leaders should understand both the benefits and the misfortunes of applying principles of Universal Instructional Design in teaching world languages on the postsecondary level? Historically, language education Reformers worked in the wake of the Romantics, and they were deeply influenced by their love of popular culture and dialects and the speech of the common people. And by some sort of transitive relationship, this love of popular culture and dialect study was, in turn, a shot in the arm for the study of living languages (and thus of phonetics) and associated (sub)cultures. Today, we must keep in mind that these various approaches to language teaching, as well as current research on second language acquisition, focusing especially on communicative language teaching. This is followed by practical suggestions for improving classroom practice to meet the needs of all students with diverse learning styles, including those with physical and learning disabilities.

Self-Awareness AFFECTS Social Mobility
Social mobility, the movement of individuals, families, or groups through a social hierarchy or stratification system, can affect a person psychologically. Education, Occupation, and income are considered to be the leading indicators of Social Mobility. In modern societies, social mobility is typically measured by career and generational changes in the socioeconomic levels of occupations. George Herbert Mead, the founder of symbolic interactionism, suggested that individuals construct the meaning and purpose of their world to allow them to understand it. In doing so, they attach importance to objects and symbols that help them make sense of the world. These objects or symbols suggest the perception of understanding and regulation of emotional intelligence that will either increase or decrease a child's happiness. Studies revealed a need for universal interventions techniques like these in school, community, and family settings that seek to avoid conflicts with peers but promote self-awareness necessary for social mobility.

100 & Beyond Anti-Bullying Campaign: TAKING MY LIFE BACK
What does the phrase "taking my life back" really mean to someone who has or is facing a bully or life-changing episode? In the world of Film, everything in cinema had both good and evil characters. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a Gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The work is also known as The Strange Case of Jekyll Hyde, Dr. Jekyll, and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll and Hyde. It is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the vernacular phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" referring to persons with an unpredictably dual nature: outwardly good, but sometimes shockingly evil. We can all see the differences between these two characters, and in most cases, people see themselves and their life as good or bad, without any shades of gray in between. If they make a mistake, they feel as though everything is ruined or that their life is over. Nevertheless, there are some ways to begin to have more control over your life and the way you see your best self in the future.

Define the Long-term Efficacy and Positive Social Impact of Choice Dynamics
As a continuation from the last episode (107), tonight is a deep dive into the long-term efficacy and positive social impact of Choice Dynamics. How humans perceive their surroundings and determine what constitutes their preferred goals is always influenced by the choices they face and how well they navigate those choices. In academic environments, teachers undertake the arduous task of coordinating learning tasks while engaging with infinitely different students with unique worldviews and non-linear learning competencies. Utilizing Choice Dynamics emphasizes structure while honoring each student's uniqueness. Tonight, Buddy Thornton will revisit Choice Dynamics while aligning choice concepts with the educational process and family development. Let's dive into tonight's topic.
Buddy Thornton: How does Choice Dynamics lead to long-term efficacy for students at home, school, and beyond?
Buddy Thornton: From a psychosocial perspective, how does motivation impact student progress?
Buddy Thornton: Student co-creation of their educational journey is an integral tool leading to optimal outcomes over time. Would you mind explaining why co-creation is essential to success and describe some of the artifacts involved?

What is Choice Dynamics and Why Stakeholders Should Embrace the Concept
Making personal choices is foundational to being a member of a right's based, free society. Unfortunately, in many contemporary settings, choice rights have become systematically absent from our everyday vocabulary. For example, leaders, teachers, parents, and caregivers focus on limiting or controlling the choice matrix available to the children within their sphere of influence. While sometimes necessary, the decision to delay how children learn to make optimal choices within the natural development stages has increasingly led to devastating effects on the functionality of society. Every possible social environment is negatively impacted, and every definable social group needs to embrace a readily available solution to all stakeholders proactively. As a solution, parents and teachers would benefit from enhancing their competencies in the Choice Dynamics domain.
Buddy Thornton: What is Choice Dynamics, and why should social stakeholders embrace the concept?
Buddy Thornton: What impacts or influences Choice Dynamics, and what coping strategies are optimal for improving one's choice matrix?

100 & Beyond Anti-Bullying Campaign: GIVING BULLIED VICTIMS A VOICE
A common reason a kid is a bully is that they lack attention from a parent and lash out at others for attention. They lack empathy and foresight and have contempt for the weak. They see isolated kids as more vulnerable and as their targets. Bullied youth are a marginalized group at risk for a host of adverse social and emotional outcomes such as victimization, social isolation, loneliness, and low levels of perceived peer support, depression, anxiety, withdrawal, and insecurity. The National bullying surveys suggest that rates of victimization range from 10.6% to 27.8% in large cities, whereas in rural areas, rates of victimization ranged from 33.0% to 82.3%. Rural areas expose adolescents to unique stressors such as geographic isolation, local social networks, boredom, and limited community resources. For this purpose, community leaders will need to design programs to enhance community relationships, increase positive, healthy behaviors and decrease risk-taking behaviors in youth. These programs will need to be implemented over the academic year 2021 to 2022 (September–June) and use experiential learning as an educational approach.
Kendricke Bullard: How can IT strategies give bullied victims a voice while helping them address emotions and thoughts involved in the bullying situation?
Latame Phillips: What are some ways that your organization is focusing on developing youth advocacy skills and information to address these initiatives, and are you building mentors within your organizational structure with this in mind?

100 & Beyond Anti-Bullying Campaign: Addressing Bullying through Moral Engagement
Implementing moral engagement and bullying prevention and intervention strategies can promote a positive school climate so everyone feels safer and more connected. It is vital that we seriously look at or create models that help prevent bullying. These models can implement successful bullying prevention and intervention strategies that are systematic and reliable, so everyone understands what bullying is and how it will be handled. Bullying prevention strategies should make it clear to students that their teachers and other school staff are morally engaged and that bullying will be noticed and consistently addressed. When bullying occurs, teachers and school staff can defend the target of bullying by reinforcing their humanity and intrinsic worth, which helps to cultivate moral engagement and reduce victim-blaming.
Panel: Describe how being bullied affected your adolescent development and how you learned to hunt for the good stuff?
Buddy Thornton PSCA: What years should the first onset of moral engagement and bullying prevention intervention strategies be introduced to our adolescents?

How Mental Wellness Transformed A Young Man’s Life
Psychologists identified several layers that help improve the awareness of meaning-making processes for mental wellness in our young males, promoting skills, incurring assets, and psychological well-being. People with mental illness are 9 times more likely to be incarcerated than hospitalized. People with mental illness stay four to eight times longer in jail than someone without a mental illness for the same charge. A knowledge gap exists regarding understanding the science, behavior, and mental processes that support the developmental needs of young males. Globally, mental ill-health is the single most critical issue facing young people, and early detection and intervention are crucial to influencing trajectory and preventing life course recurrence. There is a growing public awareness that the old ways of performing counseling work no longer applied and that they were, in fact, detrimental to those who were not in racial, cultural, and social majority groups.

Teachers of the future will need more government resources to be technically and tactically proficient in cyber anti-bullying prevention strategies. Adolescents in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities have a deficiency in crucial building blocks necessary for combating bullying. The majority of research to enhance positive youth development programs is spent in suburban schools and communities. Some scholars can foresee the government mobilizing existing resources to create a platform for gathering the best online education courses about healthy lifestyles and psychosocial support programs available for schools to choose from. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) or eLearning designers will be a necessary contributor to help combat cyberbullying and other forms of aggressive behaviors originating from education or pedagogy in service-based learning.

According to a report from the Center for Disease Control, one out of 12 teens have attempted suicide, and one in six high school students have seriously considered it. Young people, especially those living in poverty, often bring with them to school multiple barriers impeding their learning and development. Understanding the underlying problems behind the behavior and promoting behavior replacement strategies can help to reduce or eliminate negative behavior. Those necessary coping skills to help withstand the blows of this worldwide pandemic have resulted in sickness, death, joblessness, and lack of core values.

100 & Beyond Anti-Bullying Campaign - Post Pandemic Plan
Bullying is becoming an epidemic in America, and social media has helped catapult it to an astronomical level where parents, educators, and those in a position to help do not know what to do. Studies show that half of workplace bullying and 40 percent of school bullying will go unreported. Bullying means a single significant act or a pattern of acts by one or more students directed at another student that exploits an imbalance of power and involves engaging in written or verbal expression, expression through electronic means, or physical conduct of a person or group. Bullying is aggressive behavior that negatively affects adolescents' academic, social, emotional, and psychological development. Bullying is often times a repeated frequently is, intentional and harmful behavior' of one or more students against weaker students. The victims of bullying can typically go from powerlessness and anxiety to isolation and physical ailments. The consequences of bullying can run a wide range of difficulties. Nevertheless, knowing how family members might be affected can help reduce the overall impact of bullying.

Curriculum Self-Awareness – of HBCUs.
In 2018, nearly one-third of African American students lived in poverty (32%), compared with 10% of white students in families living in poverty. The percentage of African American students who lived in households where the highest level of education attained by either parent was a bachelor’s or higher degree was 27%, compared with 69% of Asian students and 53% of white students. Fighting for the rights of African Americans led many abolitionists also to begin fighting for women's rights, which led to the women's rights movement. One of the ways we can continue to fight is by focusing on curriculum self-awareness in HBCUs. Improving Self-Awareness in the curriculum is more than just developing an understanding of African American's emotions and feelings. It is an awareness of the physical, emotional, and psychological self, which is vital to improving each student's cognitive and learning styles.
Nina Taylor: Who are some of the black women educators that one should admire and why?
Nina Taylor: This is a global question-Why should HBCUs focus more on the barriers to girls' education? Some obstacles are social: profoundly ingrained gender bias against educating girls, and others are related to support systems for teen motherhood?
Nina Taylor: How can HBCUs curriculum help improve their students' relationships locally, state, and societally for a more fulfilling life?

Combating Sabotage through Communities of Practice and Co-opetition
How organizational leaders should navigate internal sabotage within a company is a question that has been asked from ancient times until now? Well, organizations can increase in value when co-opetition is used as a competitive strategy. In other words, regardless of how much collaboration occurs, co-opetition partners are still competing entities. It is recommended that organizations should strive to engage in an "optimal level" of co-opetition.
Q/A: What are some practices that organizations can use in combating sabotage during interactions with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds?
Q/A: Why should organizational leadership strategies focus on curriculums to access new resources for people who share the same interest or passion?

Social Skills needed to make Intelligent Choices
There have been considerable times when we have taught children to say "No!" to friends who engage in behavior we do not like that causes harm or embarrassment. Some young people choose to maintain friendships at the expense of their core values and ethics. Raising teens includes helping them develop the skills to be clear about their values while still interacting with people who may have differing ones. We want our children to have expressive and healthy relationships in personal and school settings throughout their education.

Are you attending an HBCU next year?
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were established prior to 1964 with the principal mission of educating Black Americans. These institutions were founded and developed in an environment of legal segregation and, by providing access to higher education, they contributed substantially to the progress Black Americans made in improving their status. Analysts are projecting four top HBCUs for 2022.
Spelman College: Located in Atlanta, Spelman College is a small private, not-for-profit institution providing a liberal arts education to women. Spelman is not only one of the best HBCUs in the country, but it was also ranked as the #3 school in the Students’ Top Schools for Inspiration list by The Wall Street Journal. It is an excellent fit for students looking for a small campus and an equally small student-to-faculty ratio (11:1).
Howard University is one of the oldest and best-known HBCUs. Founded in 1867, the school is a historically black college but accepts students of all races and genders to create a full student body of over 10,000 in the heart of Washington, D.C. Howard University is a good fit for post-graduates and anyone looking to continue their academic career beyond their four-year degree because the university produces more black doctorate recipients than any other nonprofit institution. The business school has also been ranked in the top spot of the schools for opportunities for minority students by the Princeton Review.
Morehouse College is arguably the most famous HBC; Morehouse College was the academic home of Civil Rights hero and legendary activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr as well as many other civil rights leaders. It is also one of only two HBCUs to produce Rhodes Scholars. Morehouse has an enrollment of over 2,000 students, making it the most prominent men's college in the United States. The small student body allows for an impressive student-faculty ratio of 13:1. Though it is a small college, Morehouse and Spelman College are part of the Atlanta University Center, ensuring access to wider shared resources.
Hampton University is Based in Hampton, Virginia. This school offers a smalltown experience with a good size student body of over 4,000. The student-faculty ratio reflects both the small size of the school at 19:1. Although it is small, there is plenty of opportunity for high-level sports: Hampton is home to both NCAA Division I and II sports teams.

“Enough, We are Tired” Part Four
The influence of American culture continues to decline in that the United States is diminishing in power geopolitically, militarily, financially, economically, socially, and in matters of healthcare. As leaders, our single most important role is to be a zealous advocate for education. We must help reinforce the idea that all citizens must be educated to have a free, democratic society. All children should have access to effective educators and continuous opportunities to learn and improve. As I ponder these notions, I am reminded of the movers and shakers who March on Washington (1963): To encourage support of the passage of the Civil Rights Act in Congress, Martin Luther King organized a March on Washington. More than 200,000 people from across the country gathered to listen to speeches from King and others. King's most famous "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered there. Other names like Rosa Parks, Daisy Bates, George Raymond, Frankie Muse Freeman, Fannie Lou Hamer, Marie Foster, and Humberto "Bert" Corona led a nationwide civil rights movement that reshaped America’s Culture.

Education is healthy for the soul. However, helping students find support systems are vital for their souls and adolescent development. So we are dealt with teaching the whole child—this is why anti-bullying techniques are so important. Not only does bullying at school affect students' emotional and social lives, but it also directly affects their schoolwork and engagement in the classroom, suggests a U.S. study. Researchers found that students who faced bullying for much of their time in school had the most significant risk of low achievement and engagement. Furthermore, kids who were victimized only in earlier years showed gains in self-esteem, school performance, and how much they liked school after bullying. "Nationally, there have been high-profile suicides and school districts trying to implement bully prevention programs," Moving forward, teachers, parents, school administrators, and anyone who knows a school-age kid should understand the side-effects to victims of bullying.

What happened with George Floyd and so many others through unpredictable events has left a stain on the American culture for much too long. Police nationwide have shot and killed almost the same number of people annually, nearly 1,000 since 2020. Who is to blame? Is it probability theories, societal changes, such as a fundamental shift in police culture or extreme restrictions on gun ownership? Interestingly enough, half of the people killed by police are White, but Black Americans are fired at a much more disproportionate rate. African Americans only account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of White Americans. Hispanic Americans are also killed by police at a disproportionate rate. People want to know why African Americans other minority groups are still being persecuted even after the Emancipation of Proclamation and the defeat of the Confederate Army at the Appotomax Courthouse in 1865. Even after World War II and the liberation of the world from the Axis of Evil, blacks return to life as they knew it. African-Americans who had fought in the war and were treated as equals in Europe were frustrated to return home to racism and segregation. This frustration led to a nationwide civil rights movement that shaped the next two decades of American culture.
