Making Room by Gather Kayty Helgerson Hospitality. What do you think of when you hear that word? For some it's old school 'stuffy' entertaining for others it's something to do with the hotel industry. One thing is for sure, as a culture we're not talking about it much. Food * Design * Relationships have seemed to have taken a back seat to what our culture focuses on and values yet...we find ourselves in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. Something has to change, it's time to get back to our tables, and we're making room for it! Making Room by Gather invites you into a new conversation on everyday hospitality. One that rewrites the way we approach opening your doors and filling your tables. Shifting the narrative from 'how does this make me look' to 'how does this make you feel' these buildable conversations aspire to inspire connection through everyday gathering. Kayty's chic and a little quirky interview style will make you feel like you're sitting with a friend talking about how to gro Shifting for Impact Kirsten Richert, Jeff Ikler and Margaret Zacchei Educators have long wrestled with how to manage productive change in their schools. Besieged by well-intentioned voices suggesting they take "this" or "that" course of action to improve student performance, school leaders and their teams have often found themselves heading down one road only to exit onto another.

As we re-examine the plaques in our parks and sculptures on our streets, we grapple with what to do with them.

In this 10-episode series, host and author Ashley C Ford and a team of audio journalists from around the country will piece together the complex stories behind some of the thousands of monuments that exist in every corner of the U.S. Listen to Monumental weekly on Mondays beginning October 30, 2023.For more information about Monumental, visit our website at www.prx.org/monumental Tulsa Tales: Districts at Work MiniPods Education Resource Strategies Many school system initiatives struggle to get results. Why?All of us who care about education — district staff, community leaders, principals, teachers (and the people who love them) — know that school districts face huge challenges: from persistent achievement gaps, to teacher shortages. And we know how frustrating it feels when strategic plans and best efforts don't produce significantly better results for teachers and students.It was hard for teachers in Tulsa Public Schools to meet their students' diverse needs and deliver instruction that met new, more rigorous standards. This challenge was exacerbated by high levels of teacher turnover (especially among new teachers) and low levels of education funding. By (1) clearly defining what schools needed to be successful, and (2) shifting resources and designing processes to give schools the support they need, the district IS getting traction and seeing results.
