Integrating Orton-Gillingham for Effective Reading Instruction: Core Principles, Practical Application and Classroom Implementation

"There was a big gap between what they could do and what I was supposed to be teaching them." — Dr. Christina Franco
 
Have you ever been trying to help a student and you just feel like your collection of tools and tricks is running out? You feel like you just need something else to help this student? I think we have all been there at one point or another … and maybe you are currently sitting with your head on the desk racking your brain for another way to reach out and break through with a child to help them understand and learn. Well, in this episode, we talk about some tools that might just be that needed help to you or to a struggling colleague.
 
Christina Franco has a heart for helping students of all abilities learn — and specifically learn to read. Utilizing Orton-Gillingham method, Christina has developed a way to marry this method with the reading materials already used inside the classroom.  
 
Jenny sits down with Christina to explore these questions:
 
What is Orton-Gillingham and how was it developed?
How do you implement Orton-Gillingham teaching methods inside the classroom?
Specifically, how do you practically bring these principles into a reading lesson? 
 
Christina shares even more valuable resources to help further train us educators. Through her own training and preparation, we can all better support our students inside the classroom.  Whether you are a seasoned teacher or new to the field of education, this episode is packed with practical insights and tools to help you.

The Who of their Why: Those Who Inspired Educators to be Educators

"I remember him putting aside his math curriculum and his science teachers’ editions, and we talked about it together. And I still remember where I was sitting in that classroom. And I remember thinking, if this is the power of what a teacher can do, this is what I want to do with my life." - Katie
In this episode of the Teacher Edition podcast are the stories from educators just like you. These are stories of those who impacted educators’ lives and inspired them to become educators. Ultimately, we know it is the Lord who leads and calls and gives the gifts and the talents to every person. We also know that the Lord providentially brings individuals into each of our lives and uses them to encourage and inspire us. Today's stories are representative of hundreds of thousands of other stories in which God has used people to inspire others. Starting off, Jenny shares about one teacher in particular who deeply impacted and influenced her personally to become a Christian educator herself.  
Here are three key takeaways from this encouraging episode:
The Power of Personal Influence: Join Lydia, Kimberly, and Latoya as they recount how their own mentors—like a pastor, a grandfather and school teachers—ignited their passion for teaching and making a difference in the Christian educational community.
Generational Inspiration: Hear the heartwarming stories of educators like Katie, who draws upon the wisdom of their previous teachers to incorporate biblical lessons into a meaningful and impactful teaching approach.
Career Shifts and Lifelong Learning: Listen to Scott and Mark's narratives about entering the teaching profession later in life and the diverse paths that brought them there, including the influential books that shaped their understanding of creationism and evolution.
Educators, your influence reaches beyond the classroom. This episode is evidence of the ripple effect you have on your students’ lives.  
Feel free to head to our website to share your own story of how a teacher has impacted your life.  We would love to hear from you! 
Every day in the classroom is your day to impact and inspire through God's power and through his grace working in you. 
Go do what God has called you to do!

Why Christian Schools Must Prioritize Cybersecurity

“Our children don’t have credit scores, but they have names and data.” — Mark Zockoll
 
“Seventy percent of educators have never changed their password.” — Mark Zockoll 
 
Welcome to the Teacher Edition Podcast with host Jenny Copeland. In this episode, Jenny invites Mark Zockoll and Matthew George to share their knowledge on a topic which often gets pushed toward the bottom of the list of things to worry about — cybersecurity within our schools. Despite the misconception that private Christian schools are low-level targets, cybersecurity threats are real and significant. Having awareness and utilizing proactive tools are increasing in importance.  
 
Important Topics Discussed: 
The importance of digital asset protection in schools
Results from a survey on cybersecurity training in Christian schools
Practical cybersecurity measures for faculty and staff
Affordable tools and strategies to strengthen school cybersecurity
 
Christian schools are encouraged to be intentional and purposeful about combating digital threats. Cybersecurity is not just for the IT staff, but it is for everyone within the education system. We are the gatekeepers of our students’ data and identities, and we can take steps to ensure our schools remain digitally safe.  
 
“Ignoring cybersecurity can come back to haunt schools. It’s not a matter of if, but when.” — Matt George
 
Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God’s power and grace working in you. 
 
Go do what God has called you to do!

The Battle for the Minds of Children: Why Biblical Worldview Education Is So Important

“Being a teacher is not for the faint of heart.  Even the best, most dedicated teachers can grow weary and tired. We all need encouragement at times.” — Jenny Copeland
 
“We’ve lost them. 80 to 90% of them we’ve lost. I mean the millennials. It’s insanity to do the exact same thing we’ve been doing and expect different results. And the one element that the church, the Christian evangelical family in America was missing, was the school.” – Jeff Keaton
 
This is why Christian education and a biblical worldview are critical. In this episode, join Jenny and special guest, Jeff Keaton, founder and CEO of RenewaNation and Illuminated iLumenEd Academy, as they explore these topics from a practical angle. 
 
How many forms of education are there? What separates them? What is the Christian school teacher’s role in the God-given mandate to train up children? Can Christian education lack biblical worldview shaping? What if I’m currently a public school teacher who’s a Christian, and I feel God calling me to teach in a Christian setting? If there’s not a Christian school in my area, is there a way to get one started? 
 
In this episode, expect answers to all of those questions and more! Don't miss out on this exciting conversation with Jeff Keaton. Tune in to the podcast episode now and discover how you can impact and inspire your students through Christian education and a biblical worldview!

Igniting the Spark for the Love of Writing

“I just really love the process of working with words. I think about words a lot, and I love putting them together in a way that seems just right and that really communicates what I want to say.” — Eileen Berry
Eileen Berry has always had a deep love of reading and a passion for writing. Fast forward to today, Eileen shares her gift of being a writer with BJU Press and teaches writing for children and poetry writing university courses. Eileen sits down with Jenny to discuss how to ignite the love of writing flame in our young students.
 
Key Topics Covered:
Writing for children vs. writing for adults
Finding unique ideas for writing through various techniques
Understanding the process of what writing a book may look like
Celebrating the reward of writing
 
Eileen also shares about her upcoming projects, including a new biography for young readers. 
 
As educators, we have a unique opportunity to encourage the development of writing skills in our young students.  Eileen’s personal journey from a book-loving child reading in the nook of a tree branch to educating students of all ages on the power of writing exhibits the impact of nourishing young writers. 
 
“I like to think of writing for children as writing in miniature … It’s a work for adults, but it’s written to scale for a child. So it needs to reflect that same level of craftsmanship and skill that a work for adults would have, but you’re limited in several ways. It’s got to be shorter. And you’re limited in your vocabulary that you can use.” —Eileen Berry
Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God’s power and grace working in you. 
 
Go do what God has called you to do!
 
About Our Guest

Her children’s books include Roses on Baker Street, Haiku on Your Shoe, Looking for Home, Buttercup Hill, Benjamin’s Sling, Frances Ridley Havergal: A Poet for the King, and a compilation of fables entitled Sticky Flies, Whirling Squirrels, and Plucky Ducks.

Student Anxiety: Addressing Fear in the Classroom Part Two

Welcome back to the Teacher Edition podcast! In Part Two of this conversation, Dr. Bruce Meyer discusses the prevalence of fear and anxiety among our students, specifically answering these important questions:
Is fear inherently sinful? 
What’s the difference between fearful feelings and fearful thoughts?
When students are afraid, where can we lead them scripturally? 
How do habits play into fears?
How did Jesus model overcoming fear? 
 
As Part Two wraps up, Bruce reminds us, “Perfect love casts out fear,” encouraging teachers to model love and trust in their classrooms. His insights on maintaining faith through difficult circumstances and focusing on virtuous thoughts serve as valuable tools for teachers supporting students with anxiety. Remember — fear will come, and what we do with it makes all the difference. God can change our minds and replace fear with biblical truth!
Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God's power and grace working in you. 
 
Go do what God has called you to do!
 
“I would encourage your teachers, just spend some time with Philippians 4:1-9, because it really is loaded with truth about how to handle fear and anxiety. To put fear off of you and to replace it with honest, truthful thinking that is virtuous, that is pure, that is correct thinking, that is worthy of praise.” — Dr. Bruce Meyer

Student Anxiety: Addressing Fear in the Classroom Part One

"There are plenty of reasons to be fearful in this world, but there are bigger reasons to trust the Lord and His sovereignty, because he has not lost control just because the world has." — Dr. Bruce Meyer
"The harder the person resists the feelings, the worse they get .... All I'm doing is feeding that fear even more. Instead, I need to really shift my focus away." — Dr. Bruce Meyer

In this episode of the Teacher Edition podcast, Jenny explores the pervasive issue of fear and anxiety among students and how it impacts their lives.  To guide us through this important conversation, Jenny is joined by Dr. Bruce Meyer, an educator and counselor with over three decades of experience.

Thinking about Thinking: Understanding Brain Science in Education

In this episode of the Teacher Edition podcast, host Jenny Copeland discusses with guest Jennifer Miller the intricacies of brain science and its critical implications for educators. With years of experience in both public and Christian education, Jennifer shares her insights on how understanding neuroscience can significantly impact teaching methods and student engagement. 
Throughout this conversation, Jenny and Jennifer explore:
The fundamental role of the prefrontal cortex in learning and executive function
The impact of immediate gratification on the developing brain
Practical strategies educators can implement to foster better learning environments
Jennifer's journey has led her to an increased awareness of how God-given mechanisms, such as dopamine, play a crucial role in both motivation and learning. She emphasizes the need for educators to be purposeful with technology and to create environments that nurture rather than hijack students' natural learning processes.
"This isn't something that can be fixed overnight. We might not even be able to fix it in an entire year. Our goal as teachers should be to widen that gap between stimulus and the dopamine hit, promoting a more sustainable form of engagement and learning." —Jennifer Miller
By understanding and applying brain science, educators can make meaningful connections with their students, fostering an environment of anticipation and motivation that aligns with God's design for human thriving. Jennifer’s insights remind us that teaching is not just about imparting knowledge but also about nurturing the whole student through God's grace.
Every day in the classroom is YOUR day to impact and inspire through God's power and grace working in you.  Go do what God has called you to do.
