Episode Details:

Crystal Frommert, M.Ed, has over 20 years’ experience as an educator in middle and high school. Crystal has taught math, computer science, and social justice in public, parochial, and international schools. Beyond teaching, she has served as an instructional coach, school board member, adjunct college instructor, technology coordinator, and assistant head of middle school.

Key Takeaways:

• Students spend most of their time from an early age with their families. The more we can Involve parents the better we can understand our students as individuals.
• Leaders need to know what style of communication works best for teachers by listening to teachers and being present and then helping by coaching.
• It's critical for leaders to show with their personality and their words that they are open for people to come to them without being judged.
• Leaders need to ask what it is you need from me?
• Email should be used to facilitate phone or face-to-face conversations.
• We should never be giving parenting advice because we do not know people's situations.
• Leaders need to model staying curious and being non judgmental by asking questions and digging deeper into what appears to be occurring.
• We need to communicate if we are going to offer each other grace and understanding.
• The ability to have difficult conversations needs to be taught in teacher preparation programs.

In this episode, we’re bringing you a conversation from De Facto Leaders, part of the Be Podcast Network. De Facto Leaders is hosted by Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan, a professional development and product specialist, and speech-language pathologist. She has a Doctorate in Special Education and Director of Special Education credential. 

Karen speaks with Brett Stevens, a special education consultant and host of the Science of Special Education podcast. 

There are a lot of approaches to teaching kids to read; but not all of them are effective. This is especially important for kids with disabilities who need explicit instruction. With that in mind, this conversation covers: 

• What exactly is the Science of Reading and why is it so important for school leaders to know about it?

• The components of Scarborough’s reading rope and why they’re necessary for kids to read successfully.

• The different approaches to teaching reading, and the problems with some of the existing curriculums (and which ones are most effective).

• How to work together as a team to support literacy: both the IEP team as well as supporting parents.

In this episode, we’re bringing you a conversation from The Authority Podcast, part of the Be Podcast Network. 

Today’s guest is international best-selling author and business leader Mark Miller, Vice President of High Performance Leadership for Chick-Fil-A. 

Culture Rules: The Leader's Guide to Creating the Ultimate Competitive Advantage is Mark’s 11th book. He currently has over one million books in print in more than twenty-five languages.

Ross and Mark discuss:

• 71% of U.S. leaders believe culture is their #1 most powerful tool to drive performance, but enhancing culture ranks low on their priority list — why the gap?

• First move: decide and declare what you're trying to create. Culture needs to be explicit. 

• The 3 Culture Rules: Aspire, Amplify, Adapt

• What does culture mean to your customers?

• Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wanted to shift the company from being “know-it-alls” to “learn-it-alls” — what did Mark learn while working on the book?

• The “magic circle” of game design and how it explains culture. 

• What Mark learned about innovation and purpose. 

• Measuring culture

Culture Rules is now available for purchase, with a number of bonuses available for individual and bulk orders. Learn about them here: https://www.leadeveryday.com
