TGIWednesday and a download for releasing the effects of Mercury Retrograde
TGIWednesday News 
So yes, with Mercury Retrograde, it’s generally an S-show for the rest of the month for most folks.  Even my youngest son who is a Keto spartan eater, tried some of his daughters fast food (think highest quality place here) only to get headaches and stomach aches for the next 24 hours, after that he tripped on his daughter’s toy and broke his big toe all on the same day his A/C went out and it’s Summer in Florida folks which is like being in the Indonesian jungle!  I asked him, “Do you understand what Mercury Retrograde is now?” and even he laughed.  He and his older brother grew up on my special brand of woo-woo but both are super smart linear thinking (got great memories and height from their mom) but even still they will give pause to what Dad has to say because I speak with purpose.  Not willy-nilly, not gossip.  If I tell you something it is for the most part from spirit so you better listen up.  All of the above is about communication and in today’s video we’ll address and ask to resolve Mercury Retrograde with Grace and Ease.  Oh and check out my replay on Monday's "Let's Talk About It!" show with Dr. Sarah we talked a whole lot about muscle testing and we addressed clearing Mercury Retrograde and raging politics AND weather like earth quakes, hurricanes, tornados, flooding etc.  Tons of stuff in today's e-newsletter and as always it free.  Enjoy!! Please add Granny Ruth to your prayer list she fell and hurt her head and went to the ER but she should make a full and complete recovery.  We already had one miracle in that she only needed three staples to her head wound and a shot and they sent her back home the same day.  Please keep her in your prayers.  ON DECK..... the audio mp3 "MyBeliefWorks™ for Restoring The Fountain of Youth" has been recorded and is getting prepped for the shop for release any day now - Here's what another early listener had to say:  "Well Jimmy Mack, you've really done it this time. Your new mp3 managed to cover every single possible item that one could think of for "youthing it"! The little details seemed to matter more than ever. The next morning I still felt extremely positive and happy, almost childlike.  I think I went back to infancy. It was a physical and mental feeling of being free and happy and deserving of it all! Yep, just like a kid, not over-thinking anything and living for the moment! This MP3 is truly delightful and powerful. Thank you so much Jimmy, I know you put a lot of work into this one!" - Catherine D. / Virginia
Also in progress... "Financial Windfall" which will be the 4th in a series on money and increasing your wealth, attracting abundance.

How to find your passion:
Sometimes when we find ourselves unable to find motivation it is because we are stuck in a cycle of doing things, we are not passionate about. Therefore, knowing your passion is so important in going about our daily lives because it inspires us to find purpose. 
Here are a few ways to identify your passion: 
Create a list of your interests. What do you catch yourself reading the most about? What topics do you get most excited about discussing with others? Putting this down in writing is a great first step
Next, ask those around you what they think lights you up the most. It is easy to overlook our most obvious interests and characteristics so asking around can help us gain some insight. 
Lastly, ask yourself what makes you happy? Chances are if you like exploring your city you are likely passionate about travel. 
As always keep an open mind. Finding your passion takes time so be patient with yourself and make sure you have and try to have a positive perspective.
Allowing yourself to make mistakes:
Everyone makes mistakes but not everyone understands the value of forgiving yourself when you do. I always tell my clients to try new difficult things because it’ll force them to make mistakes. By getting things wrong you gain new skills and can grow in ways that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to. Here are some tips to help give permission to yourself to make mistakes:
When you begin something new and unfamiliar, recognize that it will take you some time to get the hang of it. Identify what you are unsure of and figure out a way to move forward from there. 
Ask for help. Sometimes we can prevent mistakes simply by reaching out before it happens. Asking for help does not mean you are any less capable, rather it shows you are brave enough to seek out assistance. 
Don’t worry about comparing yourself to others' abilities. Instead, think about how you did better than you did the day before. We are never going to be great at everything and it is important to remember this when we slip up. 
Truly you can’t go wrong with making mistakes, the worst that can happen is to become memorable. 
How to overcome procrastination:
While many students are in the midst of finals season, I wanted to share some helpful tips on how to overcome procrastination. To begin, you must be organized and prioritize what it is you wish to accomplish. Break your tasks down into manageable pieces and focus on accomplishing them one at a time. When you are struggling with procrastination it is often because you are thinking about all there is to do. Instead, focus on moving forward rather than on how difficult it will be. 
On a deeper level, our mind postpones or puts off things because it is trying to protect us from feeling something unpleasant. For example, students often avoid homework because they think it is going to be difficult or boring. Being driven by this fear of not feeling good is what is preventing us from overcoming procrastination. My last tip for getting over procrastination is to ask yourself “why are you putting it off.” Listing out your reasons will help you develop more awareness about why and help you be less fearful or anxious about getting the job done. 
How to identify your priorities and stick to them:
The other day I posted about how to overcome procrastination and briefly mentioned that it is important to identify your priorities and stick to them. But as always this is easier said than done. I always tell my clients to first distinguish between what needs more attention vs less. Then I ask them how would you like to spend more time/how would you like to spend less time? What is most important to you right now? And lastly, if you could do anything right now without any limitations what would it be? 
Asking yourself these questions and then picking out what stands the most out to you will help you narrow down all that you feel you must accomplish. Pick one thing from that list that you have identified as the most important and finish it first. 
This exercise can greatly help you find your priorities and feel a little less overwhelmed.

TGIWednesday and a download for releasing the effects of Mercury Retrograde
TGIWednesday News 
So yes, with Mercury Retrograde, it’s generally an S-show for the rest of the month for most folks.  Even my youngest son who is a Keto spartan eater, tried some of his daughters fast food (think highest quality place here) only to get headaches and stomach aches for the next 24 hours, after that he tripped on his daughter’s toy and broke his big toe all on the same day his A/C went out and it’s Summer in Florida folks which is like being in the Indonesian jungle!  I asked him, “Do you understand what Mercury Retrograde is now?” and even he laughed.  He and his older brother grew up on my special brand of woo-woo but both are super smart linear thinking (got great memories and height from their mom) but even still they will give pause to what Dad has to say because I speak with purpose.  Not willy-nilly, not gossip.  If I tell you something it is for the most part from spirit so you better listen up.  All of the above is about communication and in today’s video we’ll address and ask to resolve Mercury Retrograde with Grace and Ease.  Oh and check out my replay on Monday's "Let's Talk About It!" show with Dr. Sarah we talked a whole lot about muscle testing and we addressed clearing Mercury Retrograde and raging politics AND weather like earth quakes, hurricanes, tornados, flooding etc.  Tons of stuff in today's e-newsletter and as always it free.  Enjoy!! Please add Granny Ruth to your prayer list she fell and hurt her head and went to the ER but she should make a full and complete recovery.  We already had one miracle in that she only needed three staples to her head wound and a shot and they sent her back home the same day.  Please keep her in your prayers.  ON DECK..... the audio mp3 "MyBeliefWorks™ for Restoring The Fountain of Youth" has been recorded and is getting prepped for the shop for release any day now - Here's what another early listener had to say:  "Well Jimmy Mack, you've really done it this time. Your new mp3 managed to cover every single possible item that one could think of for "youthing it"! The little details seemed to matter more than ever. The next morning I still felt extremely positive and happy, almost childlike.  I think I went back to infancy. It was a physical and mental feeling of being free and happy and deserving of it all! Yep, just like a kid, not over-thinking anything and living for the moment! This MP3 is truly delightful and powerful. Thank you so much Jimmy, I know you put a lot of work into this one!" - Catherine D. / Virginia
Also in progress... "Financial Windfall" which will be the 4th in a series on money and increasing your wealth, attracting abundance.

31 Tips for Your 2019 Job Search (from the pros)
New Post has been published on https://financeguideto.com/awesome/31-tips-for-your-2019-job-search-from-the-pros/
31 Tips for Your 2019 Job Search (from the pros)
If you plan on looking for a new job in 2019, then you’ll want to pay attention to the tips from these 31 career pros! They’ll help you launch and execute an effective 2019 job search.
You don’t have time to learn how to job search by trial and error.
That’s why I tapped these career professionals and asked for their top job search tips-off( and favorite resources ).
They live and breathe job search. Every day they are coaching job seekers, writing LinkedIn profiles and teaching interview strategies. These folks have watched and heard it all. That’s why their advice is so valuable.
As you read through these tips-off and insure their favorite resources, I hope you will gain a new view on what it takes to land a new job.
There’s no true shortcut to securing a new job, but you won’t find a better source of information to guide your strategic activities during your search for a new job.
Note: Always stimulate the extra attempt. Whether it’s tailoring your resume for a chore or sending a thank you message after an interview…the extra run you invest shows your interest and professionalism. Most importantly, it helps you stand out.
TARGETING
Lisa Rangel | ChameleonResumes.com Don’t depend on undertaking committees.
Do the activities that will help you uncover the unpublished job openings where fewer applicants apply. Reach out to hiring managers directly with a powerful resume that will inspire them to create a great position around your skills.
Favorite resource: Chameleon Resumes’ Resume Tip Sheet
Adrienne Tom | Career Impressions Identify your ideal undertaking target before commencing a search.
If you don’t know what your ideal job looks like you won’t know how to find it or execute a clear strategy with well-aligned tools( resume, LinkedIn profile, etc .). Start by identify the job title and work requirements that interest you.
Consider the type of work environment you perform best in( team-based, independent, or a combination of both ). Ponder preferred company size, industry, culture, location, and structure. Now create a target list of companies that align with these requirements and start researching opportunities.
If opportunities don’t yet exist, strategize on how to create them. Leverage your network and the power of internal referrals to support your search execution. Let people know who you are, the value you have to offer, and exactly what you are looking for. Aim to build contact with decision-makers.
Finally, develop strong, relevant career tools that be addressed to, and address, the ache points of your ideal undertaking and unique audience.
These combined efforts will prevent you from spinning your wheels and “il rely on” an outdated’ spraying and pray’ job search approach. Targeted endeavors are what will increase job search success in 2019.
Sandra Long | Post Road Consulting LLC Employee referral is the best route to get hired.
Focus on all the different ways you can connect into these employees. For example, find alumnu from your school who work at your target employers by utilizing LinkedIn search. Reach out to them to ask for insights about the company. Your conversation may lead to a referral to the hiring manager.
Favorite resource: The LinkedIn Page for YOUR university. Click on Alumni tab and use the filters to find alumni based on employer, geography, industry, and function.
Virginia Franco | Virginia Franco Resumes Create lists.
Create a listing of companies that interest you and people you know.
Tip: LinkedIn can help you create both and consider where the items on your listing intersect!
Laura Smith-Proulx | An Expert Resume Plan ahead.
A successful job search requires a strong leadership resume, interview strategy, LinkedIn Profile, and networking activity, and you’ll get better results if you’re not trying to execute it last-minute! Assess your competitive strengths, document career wins, and build a potent social media profile, then strategically reach out to desirable contacts using undertaking clubs, direct employer contact, and regular LinkedIn activity for greater visibility. Use the tips-off provided through Job-Hunt.org if you’re unsure where to start.
Favorite Resource: Job-Hunt.org
MINDSET
Jason Alba | JibberJobber Hope comes from choices.
I’ve learned that one of the most important things to have in your job search is hope. I’ve met with countless undertaking seekers over the last 12+ years and while many put one across a good face, once we talk a bit it isn’t too hard to learn that many people have lost hope … that they’ll land a chore, that they’ll be happy in a job they land, that getting a job is “the answer,” etc.
Without even talking about discrimination or new-fangled ways of getting a task today, the big question is” will what I do matter? Will it be meaningful ?” Add that to” how long will my next undertaking last” and you have a lot of people who are not as hopeful as they once were.
I learned from the late Dick Bolles that hope comes from options. When we have options and options, we can have hope.
My hope came through entrepreneurship, yours might come from a change in industry or profession, or a new financial situation( downsizing, so you don’t need to make-up more at a job you detest but can make less at a undertaking you love ), etc.
I recently got laid off from The Best Job In The World, but during the layoff all I could think about was my other income rivers. I had other options, and I had plenty of hope. It is my desire that you can find hope for yourself and your career in 2019 through selections and alternatives!
Favorite Resource: JibberJobber.com( JibberJobber is an online app to assist you in organize and track your job search and relationships. It is a great tool during the job search, and the right tool for career management .)
Angela Copeland | Copeland Coaching 2019 is the year to look for a task.
And to wait until you find the right one for you! It’s the best job market that we’ve seen in an whole generation. Start seeming, but don’t take the first thing that’s offered to you. It’s a undertaking seeker’s marketplace!
Favorite Resource: I truly love the Workforce Report that LinkedIn shares each month. They identify gaps in abilities, and often highlight areas of the country where certain abilities are lacking. This is a great report to reference if you’re open to changing your geographical location. Here’s the latest report.
STRATEGY
Phyllis Mufson | Catalyst for Personal& Professional Growth The’ buyers market’ for undertaking seekers continues.
In 2018 there were many more job openings in the US than workers to fill the jobs, inducing it a’ buyers market .’ This welcome news for undertaking seekers will continue into 2019 and maybe for decades, due to big demographic changes. The Baby Boomer generation is filtering out of the workforce and the birth rate has reached a 30 -year low. The birth-rate is now below the level needed to replace current retirees.
This means that willing workers with current abilities who conduct an up-to-date job search will find it easier and easier to get and maintain jobs.
Jessica Hernandez | Great Resumes Fast Use quotes to prove the significance of your work.
Social proof is an excellent endorsement for the quality of the work you do. Ask for short quotes or testimonials from your network, former boss, or take an excerpt from one of your LinkedIn profile recommendations.
Avoid ambiguous testimonies like “John is a great guy. We actually value the run he did for us.” Instead, select a recommendation that’s specific: “John always takes the time and goes the extra mile for his clients. Because of his exceptional client care, he procured a$ 2M contract with a previously competitor-aligned company.”
Using a short quote is a great way to boast about yourself without coming off arrogant or prideful. Which is wonderful for those who are uncomfortable brag about their wins. It also provides the much-needed proof and validation that employers are so hungry for.
Chris Russell | Jobfairing Put some ingenuity in your application.
When applying to a chore online I recommend including a creative covering letter that shows you took the time to write by giving that employer your top 5 reasons why they should hire you. I actually create a graphical image that includes the company logo and an avatar of myself in order to stand out.
Jenny Foss | JobJenny Don’t try to talk to everyone.
You’ll diluted the strength of your message across every single channel. Instead, narrow your target audience as much as you can. This tends to really scare people. They fear that they’ll miss out on good opportunities if they don’t leave all avenues open. But the problem with trying to target too many undertakings or industries at once is that you induce your efforts nearly impossible.
Dorothy Dalton | 3Plus International Stay in touch …
My campaign for 2019 is to encourage women to stay in touch with the job market on an ongoing basis, which they tend to do less than their male colleagues. This sets them at a competitive drawback which makes them reactive rather than proactive and then more vulnerable in crisis situations.
Favorite Resource: 3Plus International’s Job Search Planning Template
Jacob Share | JobMob Know what( and where) there’s demand.
For best results in your 2019 job search, check where there’s the most demand for your skills and go there, physically or virtually. High demand jobs lead to companies who are desperate to hire and willing to do more to got to get on board.
In some industries and geographic locations, demand is so high, companies will even train you in the few abilities you don’t have as long as you have others they need. For example, the blockchain industry has been exploding the past few years, and while most of the jobs made are for tech people, there are a lot associated jobs that are needed to fill out those growing companies.
Favorite resource: How To Get Into Blockchain Case Studies
Donna Svei, Executive Resume Writer Make 2019 the year you step away from online applications and applicant tracking systems( ATS ).
Recent research by Lever, a recruiter marketing firm, found that you have a 1:152 opportunity of getting a chore when you apply through an ATS. By comparison, you have a 1:16 opportunity of getting a chore when someone refers you to your target company. Make 2019 the year you build the effort to get referred to undertakings!
Favorite Resource: Use This 10 X Job Search Strategy
JOB INTERVIEWS
Sarah Johnston | Briefcase Coach If you have interviews coming up, it’s always a good notion to practice.
It’s impossible to perfectly predict what you’ll be asked, but you can anticipate themes( like: teamwork, organisation, stress, diversity, difficult person, customer service, etc .) and prepare instance narratives that you can adapt depending on the wording of the question. It’s also a good notion to practice questions like” Tell me about yourself” or” greatest strengths/ weakness” that have a high probability of being asked. Time spent practising for an interview is never wasted hour. You may only get one chance to interview for a dreaming opportunity.
Favorite Resource: Hunter.io is one of my favorite websites for research. If you find a decision maker on Linkedin and you are unable to find their e-mail address, Hunter is a great place to start. The site can also confirm e-mail addresses.
Sharlyn Lauby | HR Bartender Prepare for the job interview.
While this has always been important, I’m astonished at the number of members of recruiters that tell me how unprepared nominees are for the interview.( i.e. don’t know what the company does, have no questions prepared, etc .)
Favorite Resource: 12 Things that Recruiters are Looking For Right Now
Alex Freund | The Landing Expert Win by understand the thought process.
The job interview is a competition in the marketplace. You can’t win unless you understand the thought process of the interviewer/ decision maker.( find the 4 precepts below ).
Favorite Resource: The Four Principles of Acing an Interview
Robin Ryan, Career Counselor | RobinRyan Do this before your job interview.
Create some run examples of how you excel at your job. Be very specific. Outline where you were working, the skills you were employ i.e. project management or leadership ability, country what you did and note the outcome or results of your efforts. These examples answer the situational questions many employers ask, but they can also answer some general questions and make it clearer to the employer how effective you are at performing the job. Write these work instances answers out and rehearse them. Then try them out on a friend. Get feedback. Perfect the answer before your interview.
LINKEDIN
Jared J. WIESE | Profiles That POP! Have a strong LinkedIn profile.
I’ve heard repeatedly from clients that about 6 years ago the job search altered. You could no longer post a resume to job committees or even count on your old network. With over 87% of recruiters on LinkedIn, having a strong LinkedIn profile is critical.
Favorite Resource: The Best Free Advice to Get a Job
Donna Serdula | Vision Board Media, LinkedIn-Makeover Make sure your LinkedIn Profile viewing alternatives are set to Full Profile.
This means, when you visit a person’s profile, your name and a link back to your profile will be recorded on their” Who’s Viewed Your Profile” stats page.
Why is this so important?
Let’s say you are asked to interview for a position. Prior to the interview, you check out the person’s profile who is conducting the interview. You want to know who this person is and you want to see what you may have in common. If you are set to Full Profile, the interviewer can see you checked out their profile. Don’t get nervous … THIS IS A GOOD THING! The interviewer now knows you are interested in the position and in them. They also know you are technologically savvy and that you are smart enough to do your due diligence and research. These are really important things.
Something so simple can really set you apart from other candidates who interviewed for the same position. That little view can also act as a breadcrumb trail back to your LinkedIn profile … and if you optimized your LinkedIn profile, materials on your profile can act as an enforcer of why you are the ideal candidate for the position.
Denny McCorkle | University of Northern Colorado Stop ghosting your connects on LinkedIn. Make an appearance at least once a day.
Social sharing career-related content shows potential employers and career stakeholders what you are LEARNING. Adding career-relevant comment to the social shares of others shows them what you are THINKING. And, social sharing your own accomplishments and professional activities shows them what you are DOING.
Favorite Resource: Flipboard is an excellent app to follow career-related news and career topics of your select. And, it provides you a real-time resource of content to social share on LinkedIn and other social media.
NETWORKING
Marc Miller | Career Pivot Older undertaking seekers need a network of younger employees.
One of the biggest challenges for those of us in the 2nd half of life is our network may be aging out. The people who helped us along may have retired, be no longer be in a position of influence or they may have died.
You must focus on building your network with people who are younger and maybe much younger than you. Even network with young people who are not in a position of power today but may be tomorrow. You never know who might be able to help you in the future.
Favorite Resource: Has Your Network Aged Out and Abandoned You ?
Mac Prichard | Mac’s List Stop inviting people to coffee( or asking to pick their brain ).
Instead, petition an informational interview.
Would you ask your boss, a leader in your field, or a coworker to a business meeting without an agenda, a time limit, and an outcome in mind?
Of course you wouldn’t. In an informational interview, you have objectives for the conversation. You also know the results you want. And you consider the other person’s needs and how to meet them.
When you take these steps, you will get so much more from those discussions. And you will grow a relationship that will likely last long after your search ends.
When requesting an informational interview, it’s up to you to stimulate the best use of everybody’s time and help persuade others to say yes to your request.
Favorite Resource: Stop Buying People Coffee( or Asking to Pick Their Brain )
PERSONAL BRANDING
Meg Guiseppi | Executive Career Brand Be an original.
An important strategy for 2019 that’s been with us for years, but too many have still not embraced: Don’t be afraid to give a feel for your personality in your LinkedIn profile, resume, bio and other personal marketing materials.
Your job search profiles and documents are meant to differentiate the unique value you offer the employers you’re targeting, over the possible ocean of other people vying against you. You’re much more likely to become a candidate of interest if you lean on your personal brand in these supporting materials.
We all know that recruiters and hiring decision makers sourcing talent look for candidates who have the right” hard skills “. More than ever, in 2019, they’ll also be looking for the right personal qualities or” soft skills “. Before reaching out to you, they want to get some idea of how you construct things happen, how you work with people, what kind of leader or manager you are.

TECHNOLOGY
Bob McIntosh | MassHire Lowell Career Center, ThingsCareerRelated Learn mobile technology.
I lead workshops and counsel clients one-on-one at an urban career centre, where the average age of our clients is 50 plus. Many of these undertaking seekers haven’t had to look for work for 10, 20, 30 years, or more. The job search for them is an eye-opening experience, to say the least. One aspect of the search our clients struggle with is having to use their Smartphone to respond to hire authorities.
Hiring authorities are increasingly using their smartphones to contact potential candidates, and they’re reaching out not only during work hours but beyond the sound of the whistling. As an older job seeker, you should be cognizant of the methods hiring authorities are using to find talent. If you haven’t had to look for work in many years, these are some of the tools you must get familiar with in order to compete in a competitive labor market. And as period progresses, the phone will become even more prevalent in the job search. Make sure you keep apace of hiring authorities, or you may be left in the dust.
Favorite Resource: Your phone should become your best friend. Here are some tools hiring authorities are use to fill positions :P TAGEND
Texting. The days when we used to talk on the phone are becoming a distant memory. As an older job seeker, get used to hiring authorities texting you day and night. Dropbox, Google Drive, or iPhone Cloud. Store your resume/ s in these storage areas, so you can send them to employers when you’re away from your computer. Zoom, Skype, Facetime.

Be sure to check your LinkedIn account daily, if not hourly. Twitter and Facebook. These two applications aren’t only for household fun and teen tweeting. Hiring authorities are searching for job seekers and expect you to be participants. Friend them on Facebook and be complied with on Twitter.

TRENDS
Cyndy Trivella | WorkScene Don’t overlook the gig economy.
2019 is estimated to be as much a chore seeker’s marketplace as 2018 was. This does devote undertaking seekers an edge in the job market now, but as we all know, the job market ebbs and flows, so never burn a bridge you may need to cross again in the future.
The one trend that is predicted to grow in 2019 is the gig economy. This means you may be doing short-term, part-time or temporary assignings for companies. Don’t neglect these opportunities; they are a learning experience. You will get a fine view of the organization from an insider’s view and gain a better understanding of the culture … not to mention, you now have direct contacts within the organization. Assess your financial solvency to determine if you can take on this work style and if so, consider it your foot in the door.
Favorite Resources: Each single info source is generally limited in what data is available, so don’t limit yourself to only one resource. It’s important to take into account all facets of a potential employer so employing a variety of resources is recommended.
For example, resources like Yahoo Finance, the stock market( where applicable ), The WSJ and Fortune can shed light on the financial health of an organization.
Social media( Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc .) can give you an indication of the company’s workplace atmosphere and often a view of the people who work there. Some industries, due to compliance and risk factors, choose not to have a presence on social media, so when looking for work, consider the industries of the companies you are targeting and not just the individual organizations.
Glassdoor and LinkedIn are a must use for anyone in a job search because you can find out who works at your target companies and on Glassdoor, what people are saying about these organizations. Caution: When using sources like Glassdoor, I recommend looking for tendencies or commonalities in comments rather than focusing on only the good or just the bad reviews. When employing LinkedIn, try to find someone you can speak with who worked at the company you’re targeting. If the degrees of separation are outside of your ability to contact these someones, look to see if you know someone who can make an introduction.
Another wonderful site is A Great Place to Work. Here you can find companies who have been ranked and rated by their own employees as employers and employees of selection and are the organizations who take the temperature of their culture often and seriously. Further, they have multiple categories for their coveted winners, so for example, you can easily search for companies in the retail sector if this is a targeted industry for you.
One resource that I highly recommend is setting up Google alerts on your target companies. Google alertings will maintain you in the loop on the activity taking place at the companies on your target list. When appropriate, the information in the alertings can be integrated into your interview conversation and build you voice more knowledgeable about the organization, which is always a good thing.
And last but not least, use your people network. This will always be the most important resource you have.
Social MEDIA
Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter | CareerTrend Go small+ deep.
In today’s FOMO digital world, we easily get swept up trying to be everywhere all the time: LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Whether promoting our career, upping our personal brand, house community, adding to our achievements trail, or a combination of all of those, it can be overwhelming+ exhausting.
It also can create a mirage-the false impression you are gaining momentum through more and more exposure. While there is value in being digitally present, the value has diminishing returns when you try so hard to be visible and/ or popular that your reputation for intimate, meaningful correspondence erodes.
I challenge job seekers to go small, and deep, in 2019 in their careers and job search. The results may astonish you!

Marie Zimenoff | Career Thought Leaders Your online activity will matter more in 2019 than ever before.
Job seekers have long known the importance of cleaning up their social media activity when in job search, but in 2019 social media activity will take over a new level of importance in job search and career advancement.
In 2018, a Jobvite survey of recruiters showed that 77% of recruiters are using LinkedIn to source and screen candidates, 63% are using Facebook, and 25% are using Instagram. In addition, companies are starting to use software that scans and scores social media profiles and activity to match candidates to openings.
The good news for undertaking seekers is that in this tight labor market companies are using social media to proactively find candidates that might not fit the mold of a traditional applicant for the position. Engaging in dialogues and communities around passions could set a chore seeker on the radar for a position they would not have been deemed “qualified” for in years past. Being authentic and a bit more transparent could now be in their favor.
The bad news for job seekers is that the temptation to cross the line into vulgar, violent, and other negative dialogues online is at an all-time high. While being passionate about a cause could create a connection point with a company, displaying rude behavior could get them ruled out for a position as software is also evolving to screen social media interactions for red-flag behaviors.
The bottom line? Job seekers who make profiles that connect with their audience and construct their visibility through gues leadership and engagement in communities of interest will now have more opportunity to be found and stand out from the competition.

CULTURE
Susan P. Joyce | Job-Hunt.org Know the company’s culture.
Based on painful personal experience, I highly recommend that job seekers learn as much as possible about the employer’s ” culture” before accept a chore offer or wasting hour trying to land a chore there! A relatively new website, Comparably.com( https :// www.comparably.com ), seems to do a much better job than other employer review sites of offering insight into company cultures.
Assuming that the “anonymous” employee reviews are genuine, Comparably looks like an excellent source of very important information about employers.
Employers are rated and receive “awards” in comparison with Comparably-determined challengers based on those employee reviews. The reward categories are very significant. Categories include: Company Culture, Best CEO, Diversity, Women( how females rate the working conditions ), “Happiness,” Compensation, Leadership, Managers, Perks and Benefits, Meetings, and Professional Development. This important information is broken down by department, chore title, and location!

MINDSET
Jason Alba | JibberJobber Hope comes from choices.
I’ve learned that one of the most important things to have in your job search is hope. I’ve met with countless job seekers over the last 12+ years and while many put on a good face, once we talk a bit it isn’t too hard to learn that many people have lost hope … that they’ll land a job, that they’ll be happy in a job they land, that get a chore is “the answer,” etc.
Without even talking about discrimination or new-fangled ways of getting a chore today, the big question is” will what I do matter? Will it be meaningful ?” Add that to” how long will my next chore last” and you have a lot of people who are not as hopeful as they once were.
I learned from the late Dick Bolles that hope comes from choices. When we have selections and options, we can have hope.
My hope came through entrepreneurship, yours might come from a change in industry or profession, or a new financial situation( downsizing, so you don’t need to stimulate more at a undertaking you dislike but can make less at a task you love ), etc.
I recently get laid off from The Best Job In The World, but during the layoff all I could think about was my other income rivers. I had other options, and I had plenty of hope. It is my desire that you can find hope for yourself and your career in 2019 through selections and alternatives!

Angela Copeland | Copeland Coaching 2019 is the year to look for a task.
And to wait until you find the correct one for you! It’s the best job market that we’ve seen in an entire generation. Start looking, but don’t take the first thing that’s offered to you. It’s a task seeker’s marketplace!
Favorite Resource: I actually love the Workforce Report that LinkedIn shares each month. They identify gaps in skills, and often highlight areas of the country where certain abilities are lacking. This is a great report to reference if you’re open to changing your geographic location. Here’s the latest report.
STRATEGY
Phyllis Mufson | Catalyst for Personal& Professional Growth The’ buyers market’ for chore seekers continues.
In 2018 there were many more job openings in the US than employees to fill the jobs, attaining it a’ purchasers marketplace .’ This welcome news for chore seekers will continue into 2019 and perhaps for decades, due to big demographic changes. The Baby Boomer generation is filtering out of the workforce and the birth rate has reached a 30 -year low. The birth-rate is now below the level needed to replace current retirees.
This means that willing workers with current skills who conduct an up-to-date job search will find it easier and easier to get and keep jobs.
Jessica Hernandez | Great Resumes Fast Use quotes to prove the significance of your work.
Social proof is an excellent endorsement for the quality of the work you do. Ask for short quotes or testimonies from your network, former boss, or take an excerpt from one of your LinkedIn profile recommendations.
Avoid ambiguous testimonials like “John is a great guy. We truly value the work he did for us.” Instead, select a recommendation that’s specific: “John always takes the time and runs the extra mile for his clients. Because of his exceptional client care, he secured a$ 2M contract with a previously competitor-aligned company.”
Using a short quote is a great way to boast about yourself without coming off arrogant or prideful. Which is wonderful for those who are uncomfortable brag about their wins. It also provides the much-needed proof and validation that employers are so hungry for.
Chris Russell | Jobfairing Put some imagination in your application.
When applying to a undertaking online I recommend including a creative cover letter that shows you took the time to write by devoting that employer your top 5 reasons why they should hire you. I actually create a graphical image that includes the company logo and an avatar of myself in order to stand out.
Jenny Foss | JobJenny Don’t try to talk to everyone.
You’ll dilute the strength of your message across every single channel. Instead, narrow your target audience as much as you can. This tends to really scare people. They fear that they’ll miss out on an opportunity if they don’t leave all boulevards open. But the problem with trying to target too many undertakings or industries at once is that you make your efforts nearly impossible.
Dorothy Dalton | 3Plus International Stay in touch …
My campaign for 2019 is to encourage women to stay in touch with the job market on an ongoing basis, which they tend to do less than their male colleagues. This puts them at a competitive drawback which attains them reactive rather than proactive and then more vulnerable in crisis situations.

Jacob Share | JobMob Know what( and where) there’s demand.
For best results in your 2019 job search, check where there’s the most demand for your skills and go there, physically or virtually. High demand jobs lead to companies who are desperate to hire and willing to do more to got to get on board.
In some industries and geographic locations, demand is so high, companies will even train you in the few skills you don’t have as long as you have others they need. For example, the blockchain industry has been exploding the past few years, and while most of the jobs made are for tech people, there are a lot associated chores that are needed to fill out those growing companies.

JOB INTERVIEWS
Sarah Johnston | Briefcase Coach If you have interviews come through here, it’s always a good notion to practice.
It’s impossible to perfectly predict what you’ll be asked, but you can anticipate themes( like: teamwork, organisation, stress, diversity, difficult person, customer service, etc .) and prepare instance narratives that you can adapt depending on the wording of the question. It’s also a good idea to practice questions like” Tell me about yourself” or” greatest strengths/ weakness” that have a high probability of being asked. Time spent practicing for an interview is never wasted day. You may merely get one chance to interview for a dream opportunity.

These examples answer the situational questions many employers ask, but they can also answer some general questions and make it clearer to the employer how effective you are at performing the job. Write these work examples answers out and rehearse them. Then try them out on a friend. Get feedback. Perfect the answer before your interview.
LINKEDIN
Jared J. WIESE | Profiles That POP! Have a strong LinkedIn profile.
I’ve heard repeatedly from clients that about 6 years ago the job search changed. You could no longer post a resume to chore boards or even count on your old network. With over 87% of recruiters on LinkedIn, having a strong LinkedIn profile is critical.
Favorite Resource: The Best Free Advice to Get a Job
Donna Serdula | Vision Board Media, LinkedIn-Makeover Make sure your LinkedIn Profile viewing alternatives are set to Full Profile.
This means, when you visit a person’s profile, your name and a connection back to your profile will be recorded on their” Who’s Viewed Your Profile” stats page.
Why is this so important?
Let’s say you are asked to interview for a position. Prior to the interview, you check out the person’s profile who is conducting the interview. You want to know who this person is and you want to see what you may have in common. If you are set to Full Profile, the interviewer can see you checked out their profile. Don’t get nervous … THIS IS A GOOD THING! The interviewer now knows you are interested in the position and in them. They also know you are technologically savvy and that you are smart enough to do your due diligence and research. These are really important things.
Something so simple can really situated you apart from other candidates who interviewed for the same position. That little view can also act as a breadcrumb road back to your LinkedIn profile … and if you optimized your LinkedIn profile, the information on your profile can act as an enforcer of why you are the ideal candidate for the position.
Denny McCorkle | University of Northern Colorado Stop ghosting your connections on LinkedIn. Make an appearance at least once a day.
Social sharing career-related content presents potential employers and career stakeholders what you are LEARNING. Adding career-relevant comment to the social shares of others shows them what you are THINKING. And, social sharing your own accomplishments and professional activities shows them what you are DOING.
Favorite Resource: Flipboard is an excellent app to follow career-related news and career topics of your opt. And, it provides you a real-time resource of content to social share on LinkedIn and other social media.
NETWORKING
Marc Miller | Career Pivot Older job seekers need a network of younger employees.
One of the biggest challenges for those of us in the 2nd half of life is our network may be aging out. The people who helped us along may have retired, be no longer be in a position of influence or they may have died.
You must focus on building your network with people who are younger and maybe much younger than you. Even network with young people who are not in a position of power today but may be tomorrow. You never know who might be able to help you in the future.
Favorite Resource: Has Your Network Aged Out and Abandoned You ?
Mac Prichard | Mac’s List Stop inviting people to coffee( or asking to pick their brain ).
Instead, petition an informational interview.
Would you ask your boss, a leader in your field, or a coworker to a business meeting without an agenda, a time limit, and an outcome in mind?
Of course you wouldn’t. In an informational interview, you have goals for those discussions. You also know the results you want. And you consider the other person’s needs and how to meet them.
When you take these steps, you will get so much more from the conversation. And you will grow a relationship that will likely last long after your search ends.
When requesting an informational interview, it’s up to you to stimulate the best use of everybody’s time and help persuade others to say yes to your request.
Favorite Resource: Stop Buying People Coffee( or Asking to Pick Their Brain )
PERSONAL BRANDING
Meg Guiseppi | Executive Career Brand Be an original.
An important strategy for 2019 that’s been with us for years, but too many have still not embraced: Don’t be afraid to give a feel for your personality in your LinkedIn profile, resume, bio and other personal marketing materials.
Your job search profiles and documents are meant to differentiate the unique value you offer the employers you’re targeting, over the possible sea of other people competing against you. You’re much more likely to become a candidate of interest if you lean on your personal brand in these supporting materials.
We all know that recruiters and hiring decision makers sourcing talent look for candidates who have the right” hard skills “. More than ever, in 2019, they’ll also be looking for the right personal qualities or” soft abilities “. Before reaching out to you, they want to get some idea of how you construct things happen, how you work with people, what kind of leader or manager you are. This helps them see whether you’ll fit the company’s culture.
Don’t go overboard, but don’t be afraid to say things about yourself that you’ve never seen in a LinkedIn profile or resume. Things that indicate who you are . . . the style you operate and contribute . . . your guiding principles . . . your unique defining motto.
You’re an original. You’re not the same as your competitors. Tell your singular tale. Let your personal brand help you tell people what constructs you different, better, and more valuable to them.

Being authentic and a bit more transparent could now be in their favor.
The bad news for job seekers is that the temptation to cross the line into vulgar, violent, and other negative conversations online is at an all-time high. While being passionate about a cause could create a connection point with a company, displaying rude behavior could get them ruled out for a position as software is also evolving to screen social media interactions for red-flag behaviors.
The bottom line? Job seekers who make profiles that connect with their audience and construct their visibility through thought leadership and engagement in communities of interest will now have more opportunity to be found and stand out from the competition.

CULTURE
Susan P. Joyce | Job-Hunt.org Know the company’s culture.
Based on painful personal experience, I highly recommend that job seekers learn as best as possible about the employer’s ” culture” before accepting a undertaking offer or wasting hour trying to land a job there! A relatively new website, Comparably.com( https :// www.comparably.com ), seems to do a much better job than other employer review sites of offering insight into company cultures.
Assuming that the “anonymous” employee reviews are genuine, Comparably looks like an excellent source of very important information about employers.
Employers are rated and receive “awards” in comparison with Comparably-determined challengers based on those employee reviews. The reward categories are very significant. Category include: Company Culture, Best CEO, Diversity, Women( how women rate the work environment ), “Happiness,” Compensation, Leadership, Managers, Perks and Benefits, Meetings, and Professional Development. This important information is broken down by department, task title, and place!

5 Ideas to Include Every Child
Link to show: http://ift.tt/2rJXftX Date: January 26, 2018
Vicki: Hello!
Today we’re talking to Toby Karten @TJK2INCLUDE about five ideas to include every child.
She is author of Inclusion Strategies That Work, now in its third edition, and many other books. Check the Shownotes for that.
Building on the Strengths of Students with Special Needs: How to Move Beyond Disability Labels in the Classroom by Toby Karten
Developing Effective Learners: RTI Strategies for Student Success (A Guide for Developing a Tiered Intervention Process) by Toby Karten
Navigating the Core Curriculum: RTI Strategies to Support Every Learner by Toby Karten
Other Books by Toby Karten
So, Toby, what is your first idea?
Toby: Well, my first idea I’m going to go with is attitude.
Idea #1: Attitude
That’s the one thing that research says stops inclusion from working.
When I talk about attitude, I’m talking about the attitude of not only staff but of students as well, and trying to beef up the student who says he or she cannot do something instead of saying, “Maybe I could not do it YET,” and have an attitude that has a growth mindset. I think that that is essential.
Vicki: So attitude for both students and teachers?
Toby: , Oh, attitude for everyone! It’s so important, whether it’s the person driving the bus who knows how to treat a child with an IEP or a 504 plan, down to the crossing guard, down to the school secretary, the administration. Everybody. Family as well. Having a positive attitude that success is around the corner.
Vicki: OK, what’s our second?
Toby: The second one is very important as well.
It’s figuring out how to get the evidence-based practices that research says are effective strategies to turn around and make those effective strategies a reality — when you are teaching initial consonants, or when you are teaching how to solve equations with more than one variable.
Idea #2: Evidence-Based Practices
Those evidence-based practices such as VAKT (Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Tactile) — that’s based on the fact that evidence says that there are different types of learners. So if there are different types of learners, hence we have to teach differently.
I’ll give you a concrete example. The child who might not know how to divide a fraction and what’s a reciprocal. You might ask them to stand on their head or turn upside down, and then they have the meaning of the word more than if you just wrote the definition on the board.
So the second tip that I really want to say is, “OK. This is what research says. Now what does it look like when I’m teaching ‘blank’?”
Value the research as part of your tools in your toolbox.
Vicki: OK. What’s our third?
Toby: Please understand that these aren’t in any specific order.
But the third one is collaboration.
Idea #3: Collaboration
It’s OK to say, “I can’t do this alone.” especially these days when Gen Ed and Special Ed lines are so blurred, and you need support of someone else.
Whether you’re co-teaching with someone, an instructional assistant, or families for ideas, and also students as you’re collaborating partners, there are related staff that you could go to for help.
A child with dyslexia, for example, I’m going to go to the speech and language pathologist for ideas to increase phonemic awareness. Or maybe (I’ll go to) the occupational therapist if a child has autism and might need some kind of sensory diet. So my third one is collaboration.
Never close your door and say, “ I have to figure this out all by myself.”
There are many, many collaborators out there.
Vicki: I can speak to the truth of this.
I have three children. Two of them have learning differences. My youngest has dyslexia. It has been a partnership of so many people. When you partner, you get these ideas, and you apply them as the parent of the teacher. I’ve been both, here.
Toby: (laughs)
Vicki: (laughs)
You can see incredible results. I mean my son is now in 10th grade and reading on a college level. It took a long time for him to learn to read. But we needed so many partners. That’s such great advice there, Toby.
What’s our fourth?
Toby: Our fourth. It’s not the fourth being the last one, but it’s the administrative support.
Idea #4: Administrative Support
Realize that a lot of times I’ll go into school systems now in my role as an Inclusion Coach. I’ll have a presentation, like I’m here as I mentioned to you at ASCD in Florida right now, presenting to leaders. That’s administrative support, because nobody points fingers at anybody and says, “Well, why did they schedule it this way?”
There’s a Native American saying, “Until you walk a mile in someone else’s moccasins…”
We all want the same thing, for students to succeed. This kind of piggyback on the collaboration one as well with the administrators. They are a huge part of this. I myself was a teacher in the classroom for several decades, and if I walked in and I didn’t like what was going on with a certain student, I walked right into my administrator’s office. I’d share what I thought needed to be done, not only just with the problem, but what I viewed as a solution.
So with that, value each other as partners — in it together. Know that the administration isn’t on one side. The teachers aren’t on the other side with the children. We’re all together as part of it.
Vicki: Such great advice. What’s our fifth?
Toby: I do have to share that some of these are from a QRG (Quick Reference Guide) that I have — Inclusions: Do’s, Don’ts, and Do Betters.
I put them together as part of the inclusion “pie,” and the fifth one that I had was SDI. Fortunately or unfortunately, special education is a vegetable soup of initials.
SDI stands for “Specially Designed Instruction.”
Idea #5: Specially Designed Instruction
  That has to be honored. It has to be honored in the sense that it’s not just honored on a child’s IEP, but when a child is fully included in a classroom, he or she is treated as an integral part of that classroom, getting that SDI that might be written in a child’s IEP, but at the same time it’s not pseudo-inclusion. It’s not a child being singled out as the child who’s getting this SDI. You make a lot of these strategies, specially designed for all children. Quite honestly, that SDI overlaps into GTP, as I call it, which is “Good Teaching Practices.”
So value (the fact that) how you’re helping one student might help another student, whether she has an IEP (or not). Inclusion, if it’s truly done right, benefits all learners. Everyone can benefit from that research-based intervention, with compassion of course.
Vicki: Toby, what’s the biggest mistake that educators make with inclusion?
Toby: Oh. Ummm. Gee.
How much time?
Vicki: (laughs)
Oh!!! We have 30-seconds to a minute! (laughs)
Toby: (laughs) OK!
So here’s the one I would say: Be kind to yourself. It’s evolutionary.
I’ll say that word again: evolutionary.
Remember: Reaching Every Child is Evolutionary – It Takes Time
I’ll give you an example.
Suppose I want to lose five pounds, and I was really good on my “diet” today. I weigh myself the next day, and I didn’t lose my five pounds! Gee, I wonder why…
It’s evolutionary. Stay the course. Follow those research-based practices. Document. Keep data.
Be flexible that your strategies are based on student progress and that progress monitoring. So know that inclusion will happen, but it is evolutionary. You plant seeds. Sometimes it takes a while and the right conditions for those seeds to grow. Just know that your bottom line is successful outcomes, and you’ll get there.
Vicki: Teachers, every day is an important day. Every day is a day that we can make progress. We’ve gotten some fantastic advice to include every child. Every child will benefit from this advice.
Check the Shownotes for all of the incredible books that you can get — and to connect with Toby.
Thanks for being with us!
Toby: My pleasure! Thank you!

5 Ideas to Include Every Child
Link to show: www.coolcatteacher.com/e240 Date: January 26, 2018
Vicki: Hello!
Today we’re talking to Toby Karten @TJK2INCLUDE about five ideas to include every child.
She is author of Inclusion Strategies That Work, now in its third edition, and many other books. Check the Shownotes for that.
Building on the Strengths of Students with Special Needs: How to Move Beyond Disability Labels in the Classroom by Toby Karten
Developing Effective Learners: RTI Strategies for Student Success (A Guide for Developing a Tiered Intervention Process) by Toby Karten
Navigating the Core Curriculum: RTI Strategies to Support Every Learner by Toby Karten
Other Books by Toby Karten
So, Toby, what is your first idea?
Toby: Well, my first idea I’m going to go with is attitude.
Idea #1: Attitude
That’s the one thing that research says stops inclusion from working.
When I talk about attitude, I’m talking about the attitude of not only staff but of students as well, and trying to beef up the student who says he or she cannot do something instead of saying, “Maybe I could not do it YET,” and have an attitude that has a growth mindset. I think that that is essential.
Vicki: So attitude for both students and teachers?
Toby: , Oh, attitude for everyone! It’s so important, whether it’s the person driving the bus who knows how to treat a child with an IEP or a 504 plan, down to the crossing guard, down to the school secretary, the administration. Everybody. Family as well. Having a positive attitude that success is around the corner.
Vicki: OK, what’s our second?
Toby: The second one is very important as well.
It’s figuring out how to get the evidence-based practices that research says are effective strategies to turn around and make those effective strategies a reality — when you are teaching initial consonants, or when you are teaching how to solve equations with more than one variable.
Idea #2: Evidence-Based Practices
Those evidence-based practices such as VAKT (Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Tactile) — that’s based on the fact that evidence says that there are different types of learners. So if there are different types of learners, hence we have to teach differently.
I’ll give you a concrete example. The child who might not know how to divide a fraction and what’s a reciprocal. You might ask them to stand on their head or turn upside down, and then they have the meaning of the word more than if you just wrote the definition on the board.
So the second tip that I really want to say is, “OK. This is what research says. Now what does it look like when I’m teaching ‘blank’?”
Value the research as part of your tools in your toolbox.
Vicki: OK. What’s our third?
Toby: Please understand that these aren’t in any specific order.
But the third one is collaboration.
Idea #3: Collaboration
It’s OK to say, “I can’t do this alone.” especially these days when Gen Ed and Special Ed lines are so blurred, and you need support of someone else.
Whether you’re co-teaching with someone, an instructional assistant, or families for ideas, and also students as you’re collaborating partners, there are related staff that you could go to for help.
A child with dyslexia, for example, I’m going to go to the speech and language pathologist for ideas to increase phonemic awareness. Or maybe (I’ll go to) the occupational therapist if a child has autism and might need some kind of sensory diet. So my third one is collaboration.
Never close your door and say, “ I have to figure this out all by myself.”
There are many, many collaborators out there.
Vicki: I can speak to the truth of this.
I have three children. Two of them have learning differences. My youngest has dyslexia. It has been a partnership of so many people. When you partner, you get these ideas, and you apply them as the parent of the teacher. I’ve been both, here.
Toby: (laughs)
Vicki: (laughs)
You can see incredible results. I mean my son is now in 10th grade and reading on a college level. It took a long time for him to learn to read. But we needed so many partners. That’s such great advice there, Toby.
What’s our fourth?
Toby: Our fourth. It’s not the fourth being the last one, but it’s the administrative support.
Idea #4: Administrative Support
Realize that a lot of times I’ll go into school systems now in my role as an Inclusion Coach. I’ll have a presentation, like I’m here as I mentioned to you at ASCD in Florida right now, presenting to leaders. That’s administrative support, because nobody points fingers at anybody and says, “Well, why did they schedule it this way?”
There’s a Native American saying, “Until you walk a mile in someone else’s moccasins…”
We all want the same thing, for students to succeed. This kind of piggyback on the collaboration one as well with the administrators. They are a huge part of this. I myself was a teacher in the classroom for several decades, and if I walked in and I didn’t like what was going on with a certain student, I walked right into my administrator’s office. I’d share what I thought needed to be done, not only just with the problem, but what I viewed as a solution.
So with that, value each other as partners — in it together. Know that the administration isn’t on one side. The teachers aren’t on the other side with the children. We’re all together as part of it.
Vicki: Such great advice. What’s our fifth?
Toby: I do have to share that some of these are from a QRG (Quick Reference Guide) that I have — Inclusions: Do’s, Don’ts, and Do Betters.
I put them together as part of the inclusion “pie,” and the fifth one that I had was SDI. Fortunately or unfortunately, special education is a vegetable soup of initials.
SDI stands for “Specially Designed Instruction.”
Idea #5: Specially Designed Instruction
  That has to be honored. It has to be honored in the sense that it’s not just honored on a child’s IEP, but when a child is fully included in a classroom, he or she is treated as an integral part of that classroom, getting that SDI that might be written in a child’s IEP, but at the same time it’s not pseudo-inclusion. It’s not a child being singled out as the child who’s getting this SDI. You make a lot of these strategies, specially designed for all children. Quite honestly, that SDI overlaps into GTP, as I call it, which is “Good Teaching Practices.”
So value (the fact that) how you’re helping one student might help another student, whether she has an IEP (or not). Inclusion, if it’s truly done right, benefits all learners. Everyone can benefit from that research-based intervention, with compassion of course.
Vicki: Toby, what’s the biggest mistake that educators make with inclusion?
Toby: Oh. Ummm. Gee.
How much time?
Vicki: (laughs)
Oh!!! We have 30-seconds to a minute! (laughs)
Toby: (laughs) OK!
So here’s the one I would say: Be kind to yourself. It’s evolutionary.
I’ll say that word again: evolutionary.
Remember: Reaching Every Child is Evolutionary – It Takes Time
I’ll give you an example.
Suppose I want to lose five pounds, and I was really good on my “diet” today. I weigh myself the next day, and I didn’t lose my five pounds! Gee, I wonder why…
It’s evolutionary. Stay the course. Follow those research-based practices. Document. Keep data.
Be flexible that your strategies are based on student progress and that progress monitoring. So know that inclusion will happen, but it is evolutionary. You plant seeds. Sometimes it takes a while and the right conditions for those seeds to grow. Just know that your bottom line is successful outcomes, and you’ll get there.
Vicki: Teachers, every day is an important day. Every day is a day that we can make progress. We’ve gotten some fantastic advice to include every child. Every child will benefit from this advice.
Check the Shownotes for all of the incredible books that you can get — and to connect with Toby.
Thanks for being with us!
Toby: My pleasure! Thank you!
