program evaluation

In this episode, I sat down with Chris Soto and Joe Dzubak to discuss the importance of strength training for different populations, including general population individuals, performance athletes, and tactical athletes. We emphasize the need for a well-rounded approach to strength training, focusing on hypertrophy, slow speed strength, and resistance training. We provide insights into how to educate and guide individuals who are new to strength training, emphasizing the importance of finding a program that fits their schedule, providing feedback and modifications, and building a strong coach-athlete relationship. We also address common misconceptions about strength training, such as the fear of becoming too bulky, and highlight the benefits of strength training for overall health, body composition, and injury prevention. We discuss the specific considerations for performance athletes, such as endurance runners and field sport athletes, and how strength training can complement their training programs. Lastly, we touch on the importance of leg development, work capacity, load carriage, and concurrent training for tactical athletes preparing for selection courses.

Ever wondered why some nonprofits thrive while others struggle to make a real difference? Join us, your co-hosts Ken Berger and Peter York, in cracking the code of impact measurement in nonprofits. With Peter's expertise in the field, we unlock the complexities of this vital tool that goes beyond mere data collection, homing in on the metrics of success and exploring who gets to define them. Buckle in as we challenge the notion of success and highlight the need to consult those being served about their desired outcomes.

Our journey doesn't stop there. We delve into the murky waters of outcome measurement and the stark divide between funders who push for certain results and those who simply monitor outputs. We tackle the tension between desired outcomes and resource constraints and highlight the role of nonprofits in designing programs that yield realistic and beneficial results for those they serve. Listen closely as we navigate the difficult terrain where market transactions don't always prioritize those in need.

Lastly, we draw back the curtains on data collection from beneficiaries, discussing its role in shaping impactful programs. We question the limitations of satisfaction metrics and advocate for investing in data systems that yield more precise outcomes. While the road to data-driven decision-making in nonprofits may be steep, we tie up our discussion with collaborative solutions that encourage shared ownership of impact measurement systems. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation that puts nonprofits, their beneficiaries, and their funders under the microscope.

When a school makes the effort to become an IB World School through a years-long period of reflection and self evaluation, the entire school agrees to embark on a continuous journey of self improvement. 

In this episode, we talk to Jaya Sharma, an experienced IB school leader about the school improvement plan required of all IB schools. Jaya shares highlights from her school’s plan and how they engage all stakeholders in the experience. You’ll see that when you focus on a particular area of improvement it kicks off a cluster of academic activities with benefits beyond a single goal.
