When it comes down to it, what solves problems?... the answer is people.  People solve problems.  Yes you typically need a good plan, a working strategy, knowledge, expertise, and resources, and all that, but at the heart of everything is people.  That’s why Dr. Tara O’Neill is advocating to include Social Sciences and Sense of Place when discussing STEM Learning.  She explains, “Your self is always part of the everything you’re doing, and to pretend as if it’s not is to overlook a bias that could be potentially dangerous to the practice.”  Hear more of this important discussion on this episode.

So often we look for that “one thing” that’s going to fix all our problems, but instead we usually find that it’s never just one thing… but every once in a while you come across something that may not be the “one thing” but it’s as close as you’re ever going to get.  In this episode I chat with Dr. Robert Slavin from Johns Hopkins University about the number one thing students who are falling behind need.  We also cover everything like his first experience with special needs populations, landing a research job at Johns Hopkins, developing the Best Evidence Encyclopedia (BEE), creating Evidence for ESSA, and finally all the work he’s doing with his Success For All Foundation.  This episode is packed with value.  Tune in!

Cyber Bullying is relatively new in the education research world.  There are obviously many parallel experiences students have to in-person bullying, but one of the big questions still remains unanswered - how do we counter cyber-bullying, and is it even the responsibility of a school?  

In this episode with Dr. Leandra Parris we discuss the psychological elements of bullying and cyber-bullying, how important the students’ perspectives are when researching how teachers respond to bullying, and what we can do in our classroom to prevent these types of behaviors both in class and online.

Systems, systems, systems.  If you are anything like me, your memory is about as trustworthy as a... I don't know, what's a good simile for really bad trustworthiness?
Anyway, the point is that when my memory fails me, it's important to have external processes to pick up the slack - aka a system.  
CI3T or the "Comprehensive Integrated Three-Tiered Model of Prevention" is exactly what it sounds like.  It's a system that can be put in place at a school to support academic, behavioral, and social competencies of all students, promote collaboration and teaming, and support educators’ efficacy and well-being through data-informed decision making.  We dive deep on how your school might benefit from a system like this.

We should all be working towards a more equitable future for all… but what does that look like exactly?  It’s hard to know for sure, but the point is that we’re making the effort.  On this episode, Dr. Christine Ashby shares with us her experience as a special education teacher in a fully-immersed school and some of the pros and cons of that design.  We spend some additional time chatting about how to change the culture of a school, before transitioning to some of the amazing work she’s doing with the brand new Center on Disability and Inclusion.  We wrap up with a highlight of her co-authored book, Enacting Change From Within.  Great conversation through and through - tune in!
