In this episode, we dive deep with educational consultant and innovator Dr. Kate Anderson Foley, who challenges conventional wisdom about student support systems and offers a fresh perspective on educational leadership. Dr. Anderson Foley's shares revolutionary ideas about restructuring intervention frameworks and explains why some traditional approaches may be limiting student potential.
Episode Highlights:
â The Double Helix Model - Dr. Anderson Foley introduces her groundbreaking concept comparing educational support systems to DNA's double helix structure, demonstrating how interwoven approaches create stronger outcomes than linear interventions, and why we shouldnât label students according to tiers.
â Restructuring RtI Tiers - We explore Dr. Anderson Foley's compelling case for removing the traditional tiered structure of Response to Intervention, discussing how these artificial divisions can create barriers to providing students with appropriate support at critical moments.
â Cross-Pollination of Services - Dr. Anderson Foley flips conventional thinking by arguing that what's often labeled as "duplication of services" actually represents valuable cross-pollination of educational approaches, creating richer learning environments and multiple pathways for student growth.
â High-Quality vs. Traditional Tutoring - We distinguish between standard tutoring and "high-quality tutoring," examining the specific elements that transform supplemental instruction into transformative educational experiences.
â Agile vs. Waterfall Leadership - Dr. Anderson Foley contrasts traditional "waterfall" leadership models with agile approaches, explaining how educational leaders can create more responsive, adaptive systems by implementing initiatives in shorter releases and using data to make adjustments sooner, rather than later.
Our conversation challenges listeners to reconsider fundamental assumptions about educational interventions and offers practical strategies for transforming support systems to better serve all students. Dr. Anderson Foley's innovative perspectives provide valuable insights for educators, administrators, and policy makers seeking to create more effective and equitable educational environments.
Dr. Anderson Foley is Founder & CEO of the Education Policy & Practice Group, an international keynote speaker, and Harvard Medical School Institute of Coaching Fellow. A transformational leader, she has guided school districts and states toward equitable services for all learners, with a focus on breaking barriers for marginalized children.
Beginning as a special education teacher pioneering inclusive practices, Dr. Kate advanced to administration where she advocated for reform at local, state, and federal levels. As a senior educational leader for Illinois, she helped create preventative systems addressing opportunity gaps for all learners regardless of background or circumstance, and contributed to equity-based school funding reform.
Dr. Kate partners with organizations worldwide, providing expertise in improvement processes, professional learning communities, and asset-based education policies. She teaches Special Education Law to aspiring educational leaders and authors books including "Ida Finds Her Voice," "Fearless Coaching," and "Radically Excellent School Improvement," which offers a blueprint for comprehensive school improvement that ensures every student thrives.

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Smith from GrowNOW ADHD, to explore innovative approaches to social skills and executive functioning through the lens of a community-based program:
Executive Functioning Summer Camp. Eric shares his insights on challenging existing service delivery models and discusses the importance of practical, real-world applications for clients.
Eric is a Speech-Language Pathologist, ADHD/Executive Functioning Specialist, and Director GrowNOW ADHD's EF Camp with over 7 years of experience in the field. He has worked in a variety of settings including Private Practice, Early Intervention, and Schools.Key Discussion Points:
What are the benefits and limitations of a traditional therapy model and how can we expand the way we do intervention to improve generalization?⢠How the summer camp model facilitates real-world connections.
⢠How much structure and support should adults be providing, and when does it make sense to use a âlesson planâ?
⢠The concepts of âhealthy riskâ and âhealthy discomfortâ.
⢠Why it's crucial to incorporate diverse experiences to better prepare our clients for adult life AND to help clinicians stay engaged in their work.
⢠Using the explicit instruction framework (âI do, We do, You doâ) to mentor clinicians and coach parents.

This week, Iâm sharing an interview I did with another host on the BE podcast network because I think itâs something youâll really enjoy. The episode is going live in the De Facto Leaders podcast feed.
Dr. Chris Jones has been an educator in Massachusetts for 22 years. His experience in the classroom ranged from 8th â 11th grade working in an urban setting. A portion of this was spent opening a high school division for an expanding charter school. He has just finished his 14th year as a building administrator. Chris is also the Vice President of the Massachusetts State Administrators Association (MSAA). True to his âwhyâ of improving the educational experience for as many people as possible, he is currently the Principal of Whitman-Hanson Regional High School in Whitman, Massachusetts.
He is the author of SEEing to Lead, a book that provides strategies for how modern leaders can and must support, engage, and empower their teachers to elevate student success. Chris vlogs weekly about continuous improvement and is also the host of the podcast SEEing to Lead as a way to amplify teachersâ voices in an effort to improve education as a whole.
In this interview, Dr. Chris Jones and I discuss how to promote effective literacy practices in schools, while still allowing educators and clinicians to have autonomy in their practices.
We discuss:
The ânon-negotiablesâ when it comes to evidence-based practices vs. where there can be flexibility for the âartâ of teaching.
Why training and information needs to be paired with change-management strategies.
Finding the âjoyâ of reading canât happen without building foundational skills.You can connect with Dr. Jones on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcsjones/, and on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/DrCSJones/, and on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/drcsjones/.

In light of the mass amount of misinformation about ADHD, particularly regarding medication, I thought it was time to do a re-release of this past episode.
*Disclaimer, although I have âDr.â in front of my name, Iâm not an MD and do not have the credentials to prescribe medication. This episode is meant for general information only and is not intended to be medical advice.
As a licensed speech pathologist, I bring the perspective of someone who has supported clients through behavioral change and building skills; which has included making referrals/recommendations for families to seek medical advice from people who can prescribe medication. Additionally, Iâve also been in a position to report back to licensed physicians when they want to know a status update after prescribing medication.
In this episode, I discuss:
â The âappeal to natureâ fallacy, what it is and why itâs potentially harmful.
â Common ânaturalâ treatments for conditions like ADHD (such as diet, sleep hygiene, supplementation)
â How to avoid distorted thinking when making decisions about medication and other treatment options.
In this episode, I mentioned this episode about homeopathy from the Unbiased Science podcast here: https://www.unbiasedscipod.com/episodes/homeopathy-much-ado-about-nothing-literally-nothing

I remember the first time I âMarie Kondoedâ my therapy room and got rid of materials that were published before I was born.
There were shelves of things I never used, and having so many options created unnecessary decision fatigue every time I sat down to plan my week ahead.
Over time, I started investing in knowledge instead of flashcards and games. I found my students did better when I kept it simple. I thought my students would be bored, but they actually became more engaged and independent.
Thatâs why I was so excited to talk with Marisha Mets from SLP Now, who shares my passion for systems and frameworks that donât require complicated materials.
Marisha Mets earned her Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Washington. She has worked as a school-based SLP and shares therapy ideas and resources on her blog (SLP Now). Marisha also developed a membership for SLPs that includes digital tools and resources to streamline evidence-based therapy, including a one-stop caseload management solution that currently supports thousands of SLPs.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â How to manage both physical clutter and mental clutter.
â Identifying the point of diminishing returns when it comes to organizing.
â Deciding when to use a batching process vs. habit stacking.
â Defining the âcontainersâ you use to manage your workflow and your workspace.
â How to identify your âstaplesâ.
â Investing in materials vs. knowledge/skills.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked art of writing clear, measurable goals for executive functioning.
Unlike other academic or functional goals, executive functioning focuses on internal processesâmaking it harder to quantify and observe.
Whether you're a teacher, therapist, or part of a school team, this episode will give you actionable tools to create meaningful IEP and therapy plan goals that truly support student growth.
What Youâll Learn in This Episode:
âď¸ Why executive functioning is all about the processâand why thatâs tricky for traditional SMART goals.
âď¸ Examples of goal formats that keep things simple, specific, and actionable.
âď¸ How to differentiate between goals that focus on behavior versus those emphasizing strategies.
âď¸ A sample list of accommodations to support executive functioning without over-accommodating.
âď¸ Tips to ensure students build independence with their accommodations over time.
đGoals and Accommodations for Executive Functioning Blog post: https://drkarenspeech.com/goals-and-accommodations-for-executive-functioning/
đEP 178: Are we allowed to say âdyslexiaâ in the schools (with Tom Parton): https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-178-are-we-allowed-to-say-dyslexia-in-the-schools-with-tom-parton/
đ School of Clinical Leadership Program (A comprehensive course for service providers who want to lead their teams in supporting students socially, emotionally, and academically.): https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/clinicalleadership
Key Takeaways:
Writing effective executive functioning goals starts with a clear understanding of the behaviors and processes youâre targeting.
The goal format âGiven (cue/strategy), student will (behavior) with (accuracy/unit of measurement)â simplifies complex ideas into meaningful goals.
Accommodations should empower students and build skillsânot create over-reliance.

This session is a Q & A I did in the Language Therapy Advance Foundations memberâs group relating to how to support students through semantic study and working on complex syntax.
I addressed the following FAQs:
âHow do I help students who struggle to define and describe words without making them prompt-dependent?â
âHow do I make semantic study more contextualized?â
âWhatâs the difference between a âtask-basedâ goal and a âstrategy-basedâ goal, and which type of goal should I be using for language and executive functioning?â
I also provide examples of goals for observable behaviors vs. goals that focus on the process of getting to that behavior or end output.
Highlights of this session include:
â Using the explicit instruction framework: âI do, we do, you do.â
â Using pauses, reflective questions, sentence starters, direct repetition, and declarative statements (hint: we should be using a blend of all these things.)
â Where we SHOULD use explicit, repetitive, âdecontextualizedâ tasks in therapy for purposes of cognitive priming.
â Why students need a blend of structured and unstructured tasks (from decontextualized to contextualized).

Having someone observe your therapy room or classroom can feel awkward; whether itâs your boss doing your evaluation, or whether itâs a special service provider whoâs supporting students in your class.
When Iâve talked with administrators and service providers about classroom observations, they say it can be a learning curve for the person coming into the classroom as well.
Yet having another set of eyes on your students can often be a valuable learning experience for both the person observing and the person being observed.
Thatâs why I invited John Mihalyo to the De Facto Leaders Podcast to talk about how school leaders can turn observations into meaningful learning experiences instead of an obligation.
We also talk about what it takes to start new programs and initiatives, and how to take a proactive approach when it comes to marketing and communication.
John Mihalyo is a highly accomplished education professional and the visionary founder of Elementary Advancement Solutions, a leading educational consulting company dedicated to empowering Catholic and faith-based school leaders. With a robust background encompassing over two decades of experience as an administrator and 15 years as a Catholic school principal, John Mihalyo has honed his expertise in addressing the multifaceted challenges encountered by educational leaders. John is also the host of the Catholic School Leaders podcast on the BE podcast network.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â Why good school leaders visit classrooms before the official employee evaluation.
â Why starting a new program in a school can be a 3-year process (or more).
â The importance of marketing and communication (for both staff and community).
â The difference between running public, private, and faith-based schools.

Many young adults enter their post-high school years without the executive functioning skills needed to thrive.
This is often because the people supporting them underestimate the amount of support theyâre getting, and thereâs no plan in place to fade that prompting.
When young adults enter college, they have to manage sleep hygiene, long-term projects, and manage screen time.
This is why I talk so much about using multiple service delivery models when supporting executive functioning; whether it be in the schools or in private practice; because many essential life skills cannot be taught without the right environmental scaffolding in place.
Thatâs why I invited Michael McLeod from GrowNOW therapy to talk about why he uses a combination of direct sessions, summer camps with community-based activities, parent coaching, and educator training.
Michael partnered and worked with The Focus Foundation in 2015, learning from incredible doctors, neuropsychologists, and various specialists â gaining in-depth training and experience with ADHD and Executive Function research and development. He currently specializes in ADHD, Executive Functioning, Social Executive Functioning, and Parent Coaching. From his experiences as an Executive Function Specialist, Michael developed a distinct model of Internal Skills Coaching to enhance these skills. Michael is a Keynote Speaker and has presented nationwide and internationally, training families and professionals on his unique GrowNOW Treatment Model for fostering Executive Functions & Resiliency.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â Do graduate programs prepare clinicians to work on executive functioning out in the field?
â Frontloading vs. traditional social skills sessions.
â Why helping families set boundaries around screen time is an essential part of the services clinicians offer.
â Defining failure to launch and what it looks like in young adults.
â Situational awareness and its impact on safety for college students.

For episode 206 of De Facto Leaders, I share a Q & A session where I discuss Reading Recovery and cueing strategies for decoding, and I make some recommendations for additional information that will give you more information on this topic.
I also share what you can do if you're in a district that uses Fountas and Pinnell reading levels, which often don't give detailed or consistent information about a kid's language skills.
Youâll also hear commentary on the Matthew Effect and vocabulary development.
Finally, I discuss the role of executive dysfunction and mental health, a guide I created that dives into this topic further, and what clinicians can do to support executive functioning in schools.

Today Iâm sharing an interview I did with Amy Baugh, a member of Language Therapy Advance Foundations.
Amy Baugh is an experienced SLP, a life-long learner and truly enjoys listening to podcasts, joining SLP groups on social media and collaborating with her besties about all thingsâ speech, language and being a business owner. She is the proud mother of two college aged daughters and enjoys learning and practicing functional health, working out, reading, and cooking. She is the owner of Elation Speech and Language Services. Link here: https://www.elationspeech.com/
When Amy took a position at a high school with a large caseload, she knew she needed a solid strategy for keeping intervention intensive, but also ensuring teachers and paraprofessionals had the information they needed to support students in class, which is what inspired her to join Language Therapy Advance Foundations.
When many clinicians come to me for support, theyâre often focused on the âmicroâ, such as planning sessions. Thatâs why one of the first things I give clinicians I support is a framework clinicians can use for language therapy in direct intervention.
However, once clinicians have their heads above water and they have the mental bandwidth to focus on the âmacroâ, they realize what else is possible when it comes to the impact they can make, as well as career opportunities.
In Amyâs case, it meant being able to focus on training teachers and paraprofessionals to implement language intervention in the classroom, as well as having an intervention framework to use when she started a private practice.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â The power of consultation and coaching when you have a large caseload.
â The âhouseâ strategy for initiating collaborations with teachers and adjacent disciplines.
â Why focusing on your âsystemsâ, like your schedule, habits, and frameworks can help you get buy-in from teachers and administration.
â The importance of syntax, vocabulary, and word study at the secondary level.

Finding the right amount of therapy materials is a struggle for many clinicians. Itâs hard to find the balance between having enough options, without having so many choices it feels overwhelming.
Now that we have access to digital resources, we also have to think about how to use technology responsibly and effectively.
Thatâs why I invited Dr. Karen Rose to episode 204 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to discuss how digital platforms can minimize cognitive fatigue and improve communication on multidisciplinary teams.
Dr. Karen Rose has over two decades of experience as a pediatric speech and language pathologist, fueling her passion for improving healthcare. As the former Vice President of Research and Clinical Development at Cognishine, she provided clinical and academic guidance and contributed to numerous research projects. She is now engaged in postdoctoral research and continues to work with Cognishine as an external advisor. Her work has been published in numerous internationally renowned journals.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â How different clinical disciplines can collaborate with each other, as well as IT professionals to create engaging therapy resources.
â Using technology to enhance (but not replace) interactive in-person experiences.
â Thinking of digital platforms and therapy materials as a communication tool for team collaboration and parent coaching.
â Leveraging online materials to provide scaffolding for therapists so they donât have to start from scratch; while still allowing room for engagement and creativity.

In this episode, Iâm answering FAQs from the School of Clinical Leadership members about supporting studentsâ executive functioning.
I answer the following questions:
What is frontloading, and why is it useful for students experiencing executive dysfunction and anxiety?
When is it best to use structured, explicit instruction, and when is it best to let students figure things out on their own?
How do you help students who wonât complete work unless they have an adult sitting next to them?
How do we provide ENOUGH support for students who need explicit instruction, but not so much that weâre making students prompt dependent?
What can school staff do if parents arenât setting boundaries with kids at home?
How can we support parents who are struggling with bed times and morning routines?
This Q & A was done for members of the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that teaches related service providers how to support executive functioning in the K-12 setting. You can learn more about the program here: https://drkarenspeech.lpages.co/lta-foundations-enrollment-2-web-fb

A good school leader knows how to protect their staff from initiatives and fires they may need to put out on a regular basis. In many cases if youâre unaware of everything your school administrator is dealing with, it means theyâre doing their job well.
This lack of awareness of what happens behind-the-scenes may mean little appreciation for everything administrators are dealing with. While negative perceptions exist towards teachers and other school staff members as well, the public tends to be even more unforgiving towards those in leadership positions.
Yet despite all the negativity, Iâm optimistic. Part of that is because of the many conversations Iâve had with public sector leaders. When you remove the parts from the whole, and speak with the individuals who are part of the bigger system, it's easier to see past the politics and have an appreciation for the work being done.
Thatâs why Iâm highlighting impactful clips from three past interviews focused on the struggles of school leaders, as well as whatâs possible when we put the right supports in place for students, teachers, and the people leading them.
These interviews feature discussions on:
â The impact of social media on the perception of education, and shedding light on the âbehind-the-scenesâ challenges of principals.
â The importance of positive adult role models in shaping kidsâ beliefs about whatâs
â The power of K-12 education in creating life opportunities.
â Using meditation to decrease disciplinary write-ups and increase your own creative problem-solving.
â How to use the 85% rule to support your mental health and show up for your students.

Many people classify swallowing and feeding intervention as a âmedicalâ service that shouldnât be addressed in the schools.
This is a very black and white (and inaccurate) way of thinking.
Children with complex medical needs have a right to FAPE.
Measuring whether or not students are accessing their curriculum canât be solely based on grades; which is unfortunately what many teams default to when it comes to determining if services and accommodations are educationally relevant.
Thatâs why I invited pediatric swallowing and feeding specialist Carolyn Dolby to the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about what school teams can, and SHOULD be doing for swallowing and feeding in the schools.
Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, specializes in pediatric feeding and swallowing evaluations and interventions as the Dysphagia Support Speech Language Pathologist for a large public school in the Pacific NorthWest. In her prior experience as a clinician, she has served populations across the lifespan in medical, in-home, and private practice settings. Her graduate-level courses for the University of Houston prepare the next generation of school-based dysphagia providers. In her âBite-Sized Adviceâ private practice, she provides consultation services and dysphagia support nationwide. She presents locally and nationally with a focus on delivering dynamic dysphagia services.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â The phases of swallowing, including the âpre-oral phaseâ schools need to consider.
â How the environment and events leading up to meal times impact a kid's ability to eat safely and efficiently in the lunchroom.
â Why the âcurriculumâ isnât just about academic areas, and removing a child from an opportunity to socialize can be a violation of their rights.
â Children need to be able to access their LRE. They canât do this if they canât maintain adequate nutrition and hydration across the school day.
â Court cases, legal mandates, and which âmedicalâ services schools should be providing.

Helping families feel involved in their childâs school experience is a challenge; and underrepresented populations may often feel like their voices arenât being heard.
While it can help if school staff buy in to the idea of family engagement, itâs difficult for schools to make it happen without the right systems in place.
Thatâs why I invited Ari Gerzon-Kessler to episode 200 of De Facto Leaders to talk about the âFamilies and Educators Togetherâ, or FET team framework heâs developed.
Ari Gerzon-Kessler is a sought after speaker and professional learning provider. He is the author of âOn The Same Team: Bringing Educators & Underrepresented Families Together,â which won the Gold Medal from the Independent Publishers Book Awards for outstanding education book of 2024. Ari is a speaker, trainer, and coach working with schools and districts committed to forging stronger school-family partnerships. He also leads the Family Partnerships department for the Boulder Valley School District (CO).
Ari has been an educator since 2000, having served as a principal and bilingual teacher. In 2006, Ari was a recipient of the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund. As principal, his school received the Governorâs Distinguished Improvement Award in 2013. His leadership efforts to strengthen partnerships with underrepresented families and dismantle unjust practices was featured in Education Week in 2015.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â How to get and keep families engaged in the âFamilies and Educators Togetherâ (FET) Team
â Whatâs the difference between the PTO and the FET team, and how can these two teams work together.
â âEvent-basedâ planning versus âEngagement-basedâ planning?
â Using a combination of technology and in-person events to increase equity and help families feel more included in their childrenâs school experience.
â How to set up systems that enable educators to have regular positive communication with families.

Finding the resources and funding for learning tools and enriching events is a consistent challenge for many districts.
The PTO is often a largely underutilized resource, but most people cringe at the thought of having to attend one more committee meeting, especially in the evenings.
Yet a well-run PTO can help take some of the load off of school staff and leverage resources in the community.
Thatâs why I was excited to talk to Christina Hidek from PTO Answers about how school staff and PTOs can work together.
Christina Hidek is a recovering attorney turned Professional Organizer and certified PTO volunteer nerd. She founded PTO Answers 7 years ago to boost family engagement in schools and empower parents to improve their childâs educational experience and school community through PTA/PTO involvement. Sheâs been an active PTO leader for the past 14 years and hosts the vibrant 7900 plus member Super Star PTO Leaders Facebook Group. When sheâs not volunteering, you can find her in her garden, listening to the latest Katherine Center audiobook or walking the family dogs.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â How to get people to show up to the first PTO meeting (hint: Itâs not by asking, âHey, want to join the PTO?â)
â Ways people can get involved if they canât come to PTO meetings.
â Examples of low-maintenance, high-profit fundraisers.
â Deciding what events and initiatives are a priority for your district.
â Creative ways to get resources, funding, and donations.

Teachers and school leaders often feel like they have to be âeverything to everyoneâ.
Not only are educators expected to deliver high-quality instruction in traditional academic areas, theyâre also expected to provide social-emotional support, vocational training, and everything in between.When it comes to supporting mental health, this can be a tricky ethical line to walk when youâre trained as a teacher and not as a clinician.
Additionally, school staff are constantly trying to manage their own mental health needs, which is a challenge when the public tends to be unforgiving.
Thatâs why I invited Dr. Hayley Watson to episode 198 of De Facto Leaders to talk about how to help teachers support mental health in a way that falls within their scope.
Dr. Hayley Watson is the founder and CEO of Open Parachute, a Tier 1 K-12 curriculum program that supports the mental health of students, teachers, and parents. She is also an author and Clinical Psychologist and holds a PhD in school bullying interventions. She has been creating and delivering programs for youth and practitioners across the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia for the past 20 years.
In this conversation, we discuss:
â Special education accommodations feel like âextraâ work for teachers: Embedding mental health into Tier 1 curriculum solves this problem.
â Why talking about mental health in general education helps educate peers on diverse learning needs.
â Destigmatizing mental health and giving youth the language to talk about self-regulation and self-care.
â Service delivery models: Why we need BOTH structured, explicit intervention and real-life practice in social-emotional curriculums.
