    Leadership in Education - Operant Chamber with Paulie Gloves

    Thank you for listening to the first episode of "The Operant Chamber" during which we talk to Paulie Gloves about Leadership in Education... let us know what you think! "Think like a scientist - behave like a social worker!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There were plenty of gems dropped throughout... here are a few to pique your interest! 1. Lived experience with bullying. Feelings of being "lesser than" and fostered the development of a "fighting spirit." 2. Lived experiences with leadership - good and bad - blame game - good people - bad behaviors 3. Involved in school turn-around implementation - sustainability an issue - when working with adults need to also apply behavioral science to supporting them in the workplace.  4. There's a significant cost to bad leadership - $20-30K for teacher turnover - emotional responding - need to realign with values - what to do more, less, or differently? 5. Four hats of leadership: (1) Leading - establishing motivation, (2) Training - system of adult education, (3) Coaching - keep behavior going, and (4) Managing - maintenance of systems.  Link to Mystra's Origin Story: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tipsy-unicorns/episodes/TU-S2E1-Mystras-Origin-Story-e15b83s  Link to Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Positional-Authority-Aint-Leadership-Performance-ebook/dp/B0CSZJNKS2  Link to Slides: https://innovativeschoolssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Paul-Gavoni_Positional-Authority-Aint-Leadership.pdf  Link to Article "Fighting Words in ABA?": https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fighting-words-aba-paul-paulie-gavoni-ed-d-bcba/

    Keep Having That Fighting Spirit with Lisi Campbell

    Join us for the first episode of Season 3 during which we listened to the story of Lisi Campbell, her family and their homeschooling journey. Their story will resonate with many homeschool families around the world. Listen in as we talk about everything from coping with challenges with our public special education system to learning how to serve the needs of her neurodiverse children by slowing down and really listening.  Thank you, Lisi, for sharing your story with us! We learned a lot and are inspired to continue acting in the service of our values of creating a more just, peaceful, and equitable education system for everyone! If you'd like to give a Gift of Gratitude in honor of Lisi and her family, please consider making a donation to the Indiana Association of Home Educators.  If you'd like to learn more about Our Alaskan Oasis Homeschool Collective, please visit our website! Editor's Note: In the episode, Lisi misspoke when she said her youngest son had a "feeding tube" when he was younger. She meant to say that he had "feeding issues".
