His early years, along with his professional career, have given him experiences and a passion for working with the economically disadvantaged. He recently concluded a 30-year career in Blount County Schools nestled between Knoxville, TN, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Over the years, he served as a Teacher of the Gifted Special Ed and a Title administrator.

She came to Kuwait in 1988 and, after beginning her family, found a passion for working in the education sector. Eva’s 20-year employment history includes teaching at some of the leading private schools as well as positions in Pre-K, KG1, and KG2 at a local American school in which she spent 15 years. After achieving her NVQ certificate in the U.K., Eva was able to assume the roles of both teacher and team leader for various grade levels. In addition, she has also participated in accreditation, professional development, mentoring, curriculum modification, and various other administrative procedures.<br />Eva’s enthusiasm for education led her to Kuwait University, where she accepted a position teaching English in the Community Service program, which she did for six years. In 2013 Eva decided on a career shift and joined Specialized Solutions, a private company providing professional development for teachers and support for parents of young children. In 2017 she completed the STEP Leader Training Program in San Diego, California.<br />Eva’s insight into the emotional and developmental needs of children, as well as parents, has been fostered by more than 20 years of teaching experience in Kuwait. By facilitating parenting courses she has come to understand the needs of parents in raising children and how to support those needs. She says: “Life is a never-ending education; every day provides an opportunity to learn something new.”<br />About Parentool:<br />After many years of working with parents and students at schools, we realized that the emphasis is almost solely on students, while parents are the most neglected part of the equation. But effective parenting needs to be learned too. Established in 2018, Parentool evolved from Parenting Step by Step in response to strong demand for practical support for parents. We understand that the experience of caring for young children, especially for first-time parents, can sometimes be overwhelming.<br />With Parentool you’re not alone with your problems and concerns. We concentrate solely on supporting parents. We don’t judge or criticize. We communicate and collaborate.

Christa currently enjoys engaging with educators in the global community as a professional development facilitator, online instructor, mentor, peer, and author.   <br />Throughout her career, Christa witnessed dramatic successes as she educated learners to uncover their own innate wisdom, well-being, and resilience. Based on these successes, Christa answered the National Resilience Resource Center (NRRC) call for a Global Principle-Based K12 Curriculum.   <br />With a team of education experts filled with goodwill and grounded in the 3 Principles, Christa created "My Guide Inside: Knowing Myself and Understanding My World." This vital,  comprehensive, story-based curriculum is aligned with educational competencies and guidelines for academic credit at the Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary Levels. Along with the focus on sharing knowledge and language development, it promotes experiential learning with a variety of related fun-filled activities.   <br />"My Guide Inside" Learner Books and Teacher Manuals are available worldwide and have been disseminated in over 20 countries in paperback and e-book formats.

Christa currently enjoys engaging with educators in the global community as a professional development facilitator, online instructor, mentor, peer, and author.   <br />Throughout her career, Christa witnessed dramatic successes as she educated learners to uncover their own innate wisdom, well-being, and resilience. Based on these successes, Christa answered the National Resilience Resource Center (NRRC) call for a Global Principle-Based K12 Curriculum.   <br />With a team of education experts filled with goodwill and grounded in the 3 Principles, Christa created "My Guide Inside: Knowing Myself and Understanding My World." This vital,  comprehensive, story-based curriculum is aligned with educational competencies and guidelines for academic credit at the Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary Levels. Along with the focus on sharing knowledge and language development, it promotes experiential learning with a variety of related fun-filled activities.   <br />"My Guide Inside" Learner Books and Teacher Manuals are available worldwide and have been disseminated in over 20 countries in paperback and e-book formats. Due to the goodwill of expert educators, multiple translations are becoming available.<br />Christa is a HundrED.org Ambassador.

By first loving yourself, (wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a big hug!) you are in the present and noticing yourself.

Fitness and athletics have always been important to Pav, and she endeavors to include as much physical activity in her day as possible!<br />Twitter: @PavWander  @StaffPodcast   @TheDriveVoicEd<br />IG: @the_staff_room_podcast<br />FB: The Staffroom Podcast<br />Website: <a href="https://www.cheyandpav.com" rel="noopener">https://www.cheyandpav.com</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3265</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/29027b2927f3c8df510fe185a1c00e91.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Episode 62 with guest Saadia Qureshi</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-62-with-guest-saadia-qureshi--46772521</link><description><![CDATA[After graduating as an Environmental Engineer, Saadia worked for the government to ensure compliance by landfills and power generation facilities.

They share the unique perspectives of a child and a mother who is also a teacher. She has seen both personally and professionally how children struggle to be understood and how adults are often at a loss with how to handle the difficult behaviors associated with ADHD. Nicole empowers parents and teachers to provide game-changing support for children with ADHD in school with kid-approved, researched-based strategies.  Her greatest accomplishments are Her four children: Nicholas who is preparing to become an Officer in the US Marines, Rose and Julia, identical twin divas who love riding horses and inspire Nicole to be a role model for them, and her brilliant ADHD'er, Jason.  Nicole lives in Yuma, Arizona and enjoys barbecues and road trips to Mexico. She's originally from New York City where she gained a love of culture and travel. Nicole has a Bachelor's degree in Spanish from the University of Florida and a Masters in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. She is also a Spanish teacher and finishing up her last class for a second Masters in Education Administration.

She is my first podcast guest from Kuwait and shares her story about her journey to find inner peace and spirituality on her way to feeling a sense of belonging.  During our conversation, Nej suggests it's important to look within ourselves by "shining a flashlight on the darkness of your psyche." You can find out more on her website <a href="https://www.nejoudalyagout.com" rel="noopener">https://www.nejoudalyagout.com</a><br />She is also the founder of Inter-Heart. A way for all of us to come together. <br />INTER-HEART: <br />We often hear the Quran Quote: And we created you as nations and tribes so that you may know one another (Surah Al Hujurat 49:13). INTER-HEART is a path of getting to know one another via the temple of our hearts and by the grace of God.

She is my first podcast guest from Kuwait and shares her story about her journey to find inner peace and spirituality on her way to feeling a sense of belonging.  During our conversation, Nej suggests it's important to look within ourselves by "shining a flashlight on the darkness of your psyche." You can find out more on her website <a href="https://www.nejoudalyagout.com" rel="noopener">https://www.nejoudalyagout.com</a><br />She is also the founder of Inter-Heart. A way for all of us to come together. <br />INTER-HEART: <br />We often hear the Quran Quote: And we created you as nations and tribes so that you may know one another (Surah Al Hujurat 49:13). INTER-HEART is a path of getting to know one another via the temple of our hearts and by the grace of God. Instead of engaging in debates and rejecting those of other faiths, we agree to befriend one another and learn the wisdom of each others' scriptures or just engage with each other socially. <br />The Rumi passage I mention during this episode is a quote from Rumi in Elif Shafak's book, The Forty Rules of Love. <br />"Rule #32-<br />Submission does not mean being weak or passive.
