They took center court during a recent Utah Jazz basketball game, but it wasn’t to score a point or make a free throw. Two Jordan School District teachers are being honored as “Most Valuable Educators” or MVE’s by the Jazz organization.

On this episode of the Supercast we sit down with Mountain Point Elementary School teacher, Charity Horne and Joel P. Jensen teacher, Mandy Truscott to find out what it takes to be an MVE and what makes them stand out as educators, elevating everyone around them.

It is a full day set aside for students, teachers, and staff in Jordan School District to prioritize their health and wellness at home and in school. The second annual Health and Wellness Day is Friday, February 10 and while there will be no school for students that day, they are invited to participate in the Wellness Quest with family and friends.

On this episode of the Supercast, we explain what the Wellness Quest is and how something called the “SELFIE’” model is at the heart of the Wellness Quest curriculum.

The number two way that we stink at sleep is some of us try to splice it. My high school students are really good at this. Where they'll come home from school and they're so exhausted after the school day that they'll crash into a two-and-a-half-hour power nap. And I'm here to bust that myth. There's no such thing as a two-and-a-half-hour power nap. It sounds like I'm against naps though. I'm not against naps. I'm pro nap. Go nap. But you gotta do the power nap right. So in order to actually be a power nap, it needs to be 25 minutes or under, that's your power nap zone. If you're taking a two-and-a-half-hour nap, it's gonna actually exhaust you and steal from your nighttime sleep. Some of my students are doing this so they're falling asleep after school for two and a half hours and then they can't fall asleep for the night until 3:00 AM and a vicious cycle ensues. So splicing your sleep doesn't work. You need to get all of your sleep in one go.

Seasonal affective disorder. A lot of that has to do with our lack of sunlight. So the workarounds, how do we get that vitamin D into our system? It's still possible through the clouds and the inversion and the yuck that's outside. But it takes twice as long in the wintertime than it does in the summertime. So 20 to 30 minutes instead of 10 to 15. Ain't nobody got time for that and ain't nobody wanna stand out in the cold for that. So workarounds for winter, you can ingest vitamin D, meaning you can eat it. There are certain vitamin D-fortified foods and a lot of people, they actually get prescribed a vitamin D supplement because a lot of us are running around vitamin D deficient in the winter time.

The problem with teaching this though is none of this is revelation. You're not going out of here like what? Exercise? Nobody has ever told me exercise is good for me or I didn't know nutrition mattered. We've all heard this stuff, we all know this stuff, but there's a gap between what we know and what we do and that's the problem. So we've gotta be able to bridge that gap between what we know and what we do. There's a phrase that I love. Information is not transformation. And so how do we make that information? Our transformation is sort of the quest and the challenge in "SELFIE".

It is something you don’t hear about very often, sixth grade students becoming published authors. But that is exactly what has happened at Riverton Elementary School.

On this episode of the Supercast, we take you inside Cassie Crandell’s classroom where students wrote and illustrated a picture book telling the true stories of trees surviving tragedies and natural disasters. The book was inspired by a survivor tree at the 9/11 memorial in New York City. Meet the young authors and find out where you can now buy their book.

And then as far as publishing, they formatted the book. I made a few simple formatting changes and put it into an online website that I found. And then we were able to publish the book and it's available for anybody to buy if they wanted it. And so I know that some of the students' parents have bought the book and it's been a really cool thing. I've seen their confidence in their writing grow. But also this idea that they can make a difference and actually do something that can affect people for good has been awesome.

Student reading aloud from the book:

“Tsunami! Earthquake!” The lifeguard shouted, jumping up from the shade of my branches.

All I could do was hope as the wave shortened the distance between us. Wave after wave, quake after quake, my family fell around me.

The salty water felt like my tears. It sickened me to know that my family was falling without me. I had known that the tsunami was coming. I was the only one that knew. When the dominant wave finally washed back, the devastation was real. Entire buildings crumbled. Families separated. Nothing was as it was before. It would never be the same again.

And so then I went to this past September, end of September, beginning of October was Worlds and that was in Dieppe, France which is like an hour outside of Normandy, off the coast. Super pretty area. So I  went there, got to explore Paris a little bit, and then went down to Dieppe and there we had a more sizable pool of females. It's a double round elimination tournament. So if you lose twice, you're out. So left hand, I lost to the first girl, her name was Fia. So I was on the B side of the bracket cuz I had lost once and beat everybody else. So then you come back for finals and she hasn't lost any. So in order to beat her, I have to beat her twice. Because she's beat me once, so I have to beat her twice to be better than her. So I did, I came back, I beat her twice. That was left hand, and then right hand, I stayed on the A side of the bracket. So I didn't lose any, I was just won 'em all.

So because prevention shares common characteristics, each school can create their own unique plan about how they are meeting students' unique needs on building skills, social skills, so they can have quality relationships with peers and adults, and building skills for emotion regulation. Those two things, those two skill building opportunities commonly are referred to as social and emotional learning. So how are we intentionally building skills, providing opportunities for students to practice skills in real time for problem solving, relationship building, emotion regulation. Those are all efforts that lead to prevention in all of those areas. So it's giving people throughout the system the skills for making an everyday effort to enhance students' skills for life.

And so when we got her in there, I was, I was hoping she'd stick with it. She never told me that she was planning on quitting after a week. She didn't tell me that until after she'd done really well. But you know, as a father, I'm super excited by her success. I mean, of course you always wanna see all of your children have success in whatever their life path is, and what they choose to do. But I think more importantly, even than her athletic successes, which Anya's one of those kids that could pretty much do anything athletically. I mean, I've had lacrosse coaches, girls football coaches, girls rugby coaches, you name it, call me and try and recruit her under their teams when she's never even done it before. But I think the most impressive thing, at least for me as a parent and as a father with her, is just who she is. I mean, she's just an amazing person. I mean, she's just a great kid. She's a wonderful daughter. She's loving, she endears people around her. She's a born leader. She just, people are drawn to her just because of her personality.
