109: The Making of a Bully-Free School
Welcome to season 7 of the Education on Fire Podcast which is focusing on Wellbeing.
Today I chat to Tina Owen-Moore about her experience of creating a new school and The Alliance Way: The Making of a Bully-Free School her book that unveils the story of it’s success.
Tina Owen-Moore has been an educator for twenty years. She started in 1998, as a high school English teacher in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 2005, with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Tina worked with a group of teachers and students to open The Alliance School, the first school in the nation started with the explicit mission of reducing bullying. She led the school from 2005-2016, and has consistently worked to share Alliance’s practices, so that all schools can be safe and inclusive places for all students.
Tina has received numerous awards and recognition for her work, including being named 2010 Educator of the Year by GSAFE Wisconsin, being recognized by the Wisconsin Charter School’s Association with the Innovator of the Year Award for her co-creation of the Teacher Led Network, and receiving an LGBT Progress Award from the Shepherd Express Magazine of Milwaukee. She was also honored with the Marquette University School of Education’s Young Alumna Award in 2008. The school was awarded the 2011 Wisconsin Charter School of the Year, Platinum Award, and in 2015 won recognition as one of the “41 Most Innovative Schools in America” by Noodle.com.
Tina earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Marquette University, her Master of Arts degree from Alverno College, and her doctorate in Education Leadership from Harvard University. She is the mother of two adult children, Felicia and Jeremy, and has been a foster and surrogate mother to many others. She currently lives in Chicago, Illinois with her wife, Velvet, and their two adorable cats, Tiger and Juani.

A cymbal is a common percussion instrument. Often used in pairs, cymbals consist of thin, normally round plates of various alloys. The majority of cymbals are of indefinite pitch, although small disc-shaped cymbals based on ancient designs sound a definite note. Wikipedia

108: Student Breakthrough with Sam Moinet
Welcome to season 7 of the Education on Fire Podcast which is focusing on Wellbeing.
Today I chat to Sam about how he is inspiring happiness, success and wellbeing in students across the world.
Hi, I’m Sam Moinet, founder of Student Breakthrough.
I believe there is a new type of student. A student that gains life skills that they don’t teach in the classroom. Students who are empowered with the tools, vision and beliefs to help them live their best life so they can change the world.
From teaching for over half a decade I found that there was not enough time or the right type of support to help students succeed and this led to lots of problems.
I found the solution and I started coaching students 1-1, and the results were incredible.
I give my students the missing piece of the puzzle so they can stop getting lost on the back roads and instead take the fast track to success.
We implement our signature 3B Formula of Boost, Believe and Breakthrough which has proven to improve grades, relationships and mental health.
This is for you – the parent or relative who wants to offer a revolutionary type of provision for their child.
As Frederick Douglas said “it is easier to build strong children that to repair broken men.”
