LikedOn June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

1 The Power of Meditation for Busy School Leaders With Jeff Patterson | E229 36:35

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedJeff Patterson has been practicing martial arts for 36 years. He has trained with masters from seven countries and has achieved a black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Patterson believes in the power of meditative arts to enhance life experiences. Why Meditation for Educational Leaders? Educational leaders are in high-stress, high-visibility positions. Meditation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout, enabling leaders to have longevity in their careers. Meditation is practiced by high-performing athletes in other fields, such as boxing and basketball, to improve performance. Jeff Patterson's "Five Regulations" of Meditation : Regulating the body : Paying attention to skeletal alignment, muscle tension, and movement. This includes maintaining muscle structure and flexibility, consuming healthy nutrients, and getting adequate sleep. Regulating the breath : There are hundreds of breathing strategies, which can be categorized as yin (deeper, inward energy) or yang (aggressive, outward energy). Yin breathing involves longer inhales and shorter exhales. Yang breathing may involve tension in the breath and audible exhales. Regulating the mind : Meditation does not require a quiet mind, as distractions are normal. Meditation involves recognizing distractions and using posture, breath, and movement to regain focus. Regulating the energy : Once the body, breath, and mind are regulated, one can learn to direct energy inward, outward, or circulate it to achieve different outcomes in meditation. Regulating the spirit : This is a profound concept toward which meditation masters work their entire lives. Benefits of Meditation : Increased focus and productivity Enhanced emotional regulation Improved communication skills and the ability to "yield" Physical yielding : Getting out of the way of a force to respond with less effort. Requires being well rooted, having a strong and flexible lower body, a relaxed body, calm breath, and a present mind. Mental yielding : Recognizing imbalances in a conversation and adjusting the conversation to lead it to a harmonious place. Emotional yielding : Stepping back from interpersonal conflicts to make a more educated decision. Integrating Meditation into a Busy Schedule : Ritual Practice: A dedicated time, such as 20 minutes per day, to meditate without distractions. Active Practices : Integrating practices throughout the day, even for as little as 60 seconds. Philosophical Practices: Integrating the philosophy of meditation into active and ritual practices. Jeff Patterson's Three Considerations for Starting a Meditation Practice : Motivation : Identify your motivation for wanting to meditate. Consider how your life will change if you accomplish your meditation goals. Consistency : Practice consistently to reap the benefits of meditation. Consistency develops discipline, integrity, and patience. Guidance : Find a guide to save time and improve your practice.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEpisode Summary: This episode features Jon Schwabish, an economist and data visualization expert, who discusses how school administrators can use data visualization to better understand and communicate data to improve their schools. Key Takeaways: Data visualization can help school administrators quickly understand their data and make better decisions. Visualizing data can reveal trends and patterns that might not be apparent from looking at raw data in spreadsheets. School administrators should use a variety of graph types to communicate data effectively. Different graphs are better suited for different types of data and audiences. Qualitative data, such as student stories and experiences, is just as important as quantitative data. Qualitative data can provide context and insights that numbers alone cannot. School administrators should have a clear goal in mind when visualizing data. What do they want their audience to learn or do with the information? Actionable Steps: Start by identifying your audience and what they need from the data. Consider the platform where the data will be presented. Use clear and concise language to explain the data. Walk people through the data step by step, especially if they are not familiar with the graph type. Use visual elements, such as color, size, and position, to highlight important information.

1 Emotional Intelligence and Project Based Learning With Matt Taylor | E225 38:22
38:22 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked38:22
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis episode of the PBL Simplified Podcast features guest Matt Taylor , who leads the Noble Story Group , a consulting firm that focuses on emotional intelligence-based leadership development in education and nonprofits. Matt’s “Why” He had an epiphany while observing both urban district schools and charter schools that they either had teachers with great technical and instructional skills, but unhappy students and teachers or they were happy places where students weren’t being challenged. He believes the “sweet spot” is a place where adults and kids feel connected and challenged. His executive coaching training grounded in emotional intelligence changed his life and gave him a framework to address his observations. He seeks to create the conditions for learning and thriving for individuals, teams, and learning communities. The Value of Executive Coaching Executive coaching helps build competencies, not skills. It focuses on the “below the surface” aspects, like beliefs and mindsets, that affect competency. Coaching helps identify roadblocks that training alone can’t address, like being conflict-averse. Coaching helps leaders shift deep-seated habits based on core values. It empowers individuals to find their own solutions. It creates a ripple effect, enabling leaders to coach their teams. Success Story: The Second-Year Principal A high-achieving assistant principal, promoted to principal, struggled with delegation. Coaching revealed her underlying beliefs: She felt the need to prove herself, to be liked, to not overburden others, and that this was what leadership entailed. This led to her disempowering her team and hindering their growth. By connecting her actions to her core value of developing people, she found the motivation to change. She learned to self-coach, interrupting her old patterns and reminding herself of her true goal. The Five Square Method This coaching process is based on the four dimensions of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. It emphasizes that 75% of leadership happens internally. Leaders must understand their own values, mindsets, and potential obstacles before engaging others. Social awareness, particularly empathy, is key to understanding others’ perspectives and choosing effective engagement strategies. A fifth square, “core values,” was added to highlight their importance in guiding leadership decisions. The Importance of Listening Executive coaching involves the coach listening 70% of the time. This allows the person being coached to process information and find their own insights. Expertise for School Leaders The most important expertise for school leaders is being the “learning leader.” This means embodying a growth mindset, fostering relational trust and belonging, and balancing challenge and care for adults as well as students. Launching a Vision Connect the vision to your core values. Make it a shared vision by listening to and incorporating your team’s aspirations. View implementing the vision as adaptive change, involving the people affected in the solution. Focus on the common ground of shared values and goals. Opportunities in the Future of Education Shift from short-term fixes to long-term strategies that address teacher and leader retention. Prioritize creating a supportive and challenging learning community for adults. Recognize the contagious nature of emotions: Adults’ engagement in learning will inspire students. Parting Advice This work is a marathon, not a sprint: Take care of yourselves and each other. Build a strong team that provides both support and challenge. Maintain hope and belief in your collective ability to overcome challenges. Call to Action Don’t go it alone. Seek support through coaching or masterminds.

1 How to Help Your Teachers Love Teaching Again | E224 18:07
18:07 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked18:07
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis episode focuses on practical ways administrators can address teacher burnout and reignite their passion for teaching. Burnout is characterized by a disconnect from the joy of teaching, often stemming from a lack of autonomy and meaningful teaching opportunities. Project Based learning (PBL) is presented as a way to combat teacher burnout by fostering a student-centered approach that can revitalize teachers' love of teaching. This episode emphasizes that while quick fixes like hot chocolate and meditation can help, it's important to address the root causes of burnout. Three Key Ways to Reignite Teachers' Love of Teaching: Autonomy and Creativity : Teachers need the freedom to design meaningful and engaging projects that are tailored to their students' needs. Following a rigid scope and sequence can stifle creativity and excitement. PBL provides opportunities for both teachers and learners to have autonomy. Building Relationships : Focus on both student-teacher and teacher-teacher connections. Teachers want to connect with their students on a personal level beyond just the curriculum. Creating opportunities for teachers to collaborate and connect with their peers is crucial. Relevance and Purpose : Teachers need to feel that their work is meaningful and connected to real-world problems. PBL can provide this sense of relevance and purpose. When students are engaged, teachers are also more likely to be engaged and feel fulfilled. Practical Steps Administrators Can Take Immediately : Start with small wins . Redesign faculty meetings to be more collaborative and to celebrate successes. Use faculty meetings to build relationships between teachers. We offer a free resource for how to redo your faculty meeting on our website, magnifypbl.com . Empower student voice . Encourage teachers to give students voice and choice in their learning. Consider starting a student voice group to gather feedback. Identify what "fills the bucket" for teachers : Find out what activities or actions bring joy to individual teachers and implement them. It may vary by grade level or content area. Something as simple as a positive note can mean a lot to teachers. Encourage teachers to try new student-centered strategies : Provide opportunities for teachers to share what they have tried. Create a culture of collaboration and shared learning. Build a positive culture in the school to reduce teacher turnover. When teachers are excited to be there, it creates a positive current. Call to Action : Challenge teachers to reflect on one small change they can make to bring joy back into their teaching. Recognize that joy is an important part of the educational process, along with standardized tests and learning outcomes.

Key takeaways from the episode: School leaders need to be on social media because that's where the attention is. People are spending more and more time on social media, and schools need to be present on these platforms to reach their target audience. There is a right and a wrong way to use social media. Simply posting a few pictures and tagging the school is not enough. School leaders need to be intentional about the content they create and how they share it. Getting a coach can help school leaders accelerate their social media success. A coach can provide guidance on how to create engaging content, use the right hashtags, and target the right audience. School leaders can learn from other school leaders who are doing social media well. Instead of being intimidated by successful social media accounts, school leaders can study what these accounts are doing and try to replicate their strategies. Consistency is key for social media success. Posting regularly, even if it's just once a day, is essential for building a following and keeping people engaged. School leaders can use their smartphones to create and post content. There are a number of apps and tools available that can help school leaders create professional-looking videos and captions. Social media is a powerful tool for storytelling. School leaders can use social media to share the stories of their students, staff, and community. This can help to build relationships and create a positive image for the school.

Host Ryan Steuer emphasizes the importance of tailoring the explanation of PBL to resonate with each group, highlighting the unique benefits they experience through its implementation. Key Takeaways: For Students: PBL fosters deep content knowledge by providing context and real-world applications for core subjects. It cultivates 21st-century skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork, which are highly sought after by employers. PBL empowers students, shifting them from passive recipients of information to active, engaged learners. For Teachers: PBL allows teachers to teach in a way that aligns with their passion and desired instructional approach. It provides a structured framework that incorporates components like PBIS, relationship building, and rigorous content, streamlining their efforts. PBL fosters stronger teacher-student relationships by creating opportunities for interaction and collaboration within the learning process. For Administrators: PBL serves as a unifying framework that can encompass various school improvement goals, such as equity, engagement, and academic achievement. It provides a vehicle for bringing community partners into the classroom, showcasing student work, and enhancing community perception of the school. PBL leads to improved standardized test scores by challenging all learners and promoting growth. It offers a solution to the challenges of personalization and differentiation, empowering teachers and reducing their overwhelm. Implementation Tips: Visit schools successfully implementing PBL to observe firsthand and gather insights.

1 How to Gain Momentum for Project-Based Learning in 2025 | E216 17:35
17:35 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked17:35
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedPodcast Summary: This episode provides three practical strategies for school administrators to gain momentum for project-based learning (PBL) in their schools. The three strategies are: Get started today. This means taking steps like visiting schools with successful PBL programs, engaging in book studies about PBL, or listening to podcasts on PBL for administrators. When visiting other schools, administrators should bring along key stakeholders like assistant principals, teachers, community partners, parents, and school board members. Create a grassroots movement. Instead of a top-down mandate, a grassroots movement encourages teachers to embrace PBL and advocate for it. A PBL Learning Team or Leadership Team can be created to visit PBL schools, receive training, and implement PBL in their own classrooms. By showcasing successful PBL implementation within their own school, these teams can inspire other teachers to adopt PBL. Design Days can be utilized to visit model schools, build three-year plans, and receive coaching for successful implementation. Provide robust training. Teachers need at least three days of intensive training with follow-up coaching to effectively implement PBL. Training should emphasize authentic PBL, where students solve real-world problems and develop essential employability skills. Authentic PBL engages students and teachers more deeply and leads to more meaningful learning experiences. Key Takeaways: Don't delay in taking action to bring PBL to your school. Foster a grassroots movement among your staff to create buy-in and enthusiasm for PBL. Invest in robust and authentic PBL training for your teachers to ensure successful implementation. Call to Action: Start taking steps to implement PBL in your school today, even if it's just small steps. Consider attending a PBL training or workshop. Visit schools that have successful PBL programs.
