		<title>S7/Ep.05 - Redefining High Performance in Boys’ School Sport</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1660247</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1660247</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys' Education Podcast, Chris Ekron challenges the win-at-all-costs culture that still dominates many boys' school sports programs. The Playbook Ed cofounder and former head of sports performance at Bishops Diocesan College (South Africa) draws on his PhD research and Paul Wylleman's four-pillar model of student-athlete development to make the case for redefining high performance around the whole boy—not just the Saturday scoreboard.<br />
<br />
Discover why the real metrics of a successful sports program are process wins during the week, character growth, and whether boys still love the game long after they leave school. Ekron shares practical strategies for relational coaching, from 30-second corridor conversations to breaking down the silos between coaches, teachers, and pastoral staff, and explains how a simple schedule-mapping exercise can reveal just how little time boys have "just to be a boy."<br />
<br />
Tune in to learn how schools can build sports environments where well-being forms the foundation for performance, stakeholder expectations are managed with clarity, and every student—not just the A-team athlete—is developed to reach his personal best.<br />

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1652548</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, Pathos Consulting Group President Evan Harris details the complex and rapidly evolving world of deepfakes. An expert on emerging AI risks in schools, Harris moves beyond the headlines of digital abuse to reveal how the realm of synthetic media is fundamentally altering the way boys interact with reality, consent, and each other.<br />
<br />
Discover a practical "order of operations" for school leaders to follow to advance from feeling overwhelmed by technology to building institutional resilience. Harris discusses the critical need for digital discernment and explains why the primary creators of this content—and increasingly its victims—need a new "sales pitch" for healthy masculinity.<br />
<br />
Tune in to learn how schools can move past scare tactics to empower boys with the ethical framework and trusted adult support necessary to navigate the disappearing line between real and fake.<br />

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1627394</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1627394</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, join Headmaster Chris Post and the leadership team from the Boys' Latin School of Maryland (United States) as they discuss their approach to creating a boy-friendly school. Sparked by the insights of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the school implemented a bold door-to-door cell phone ban and re-imagined daily schedules to prioritize human connection over digital convenience.<br />
<br />
Discover how these philosophical shifts translate into on-the-ground practice, from creative playgrounds in the lower school to autonomous choice blocks in the middle school, and peer-led clubs in the upper years. The conversation highlights how high-impact, low-cost structural adjustments can foster genuine friendship and leadership among students. Tune in for a practical roadmap to giving boyhood back to boys.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[The latest episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast highlights the work of the IBSC Special Interest Group on Libraries—Reading Culture. Since May 2023, two dozen colleagues from IBSC member schools across continents have focused on discovering different ways boys’ schools can motivate boys to embrace a strong reading culture. The group committed to five different research realms: readers' advisory, modes of reading, social aspects of reading, reader identity, and school-wide investment in reading.<br />
<br />
Hear details directly from group coordinator Trish Cislak of Crescent School (Canada). Group members Amaryllis Barton of King Edward VI School (United Kingdom), Carolyn Friedlander of Woodberry Forest School (United States), Gabrielle Mace of St. Augustine’s College (Australia), and Jason Saikaly of The Southport School (Australia) join Cislak to share insights gleaned from their research.<br />

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[The latest episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast highlights the work of the IBSC Special Interest Group on Libraries—Reading Culture. Since May 2023, two dozen colleagues from IBSC member schools across continents have focused on discovering different ways boys’ schools can motivate boys to embrace a strong reading culture. The group committed to five different research realms: readers' advisory, modes of reading, social aspects of reading, reader identity, and school-wide investment in reading.

Hear details directly from group coordinator Trish Cislak of Crescent School (Canada). Group members Amaryllis Barton of King Edward VI School (United Kingdom), Carolyn Friedlander of Woodberry Forest School (United States), Gabrielle Mace of St. Augustine’s College (Australia), and Jason Saikaly of The Southport School (Australia) join Cislak to share insights gleaned from their research.

		<title>S1/Ep.08 - Teacher Feature: Harness the Power of Narrative to Teach Boys</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/792621</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/792621</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[For thousands of years people have used stories to process and make sense of the world around them. Stories connect us to one another, helping us learn about our history and ancestors. We tell our own stories to transform ourselves, inspire others, and help define our own identity. When we listen to other people’s stories, we develop empathy, understanding, and a tolerance of difference and “otherness”—we begin to recognize the world from multiple perspectives. <br />
<br />
Stories have always held a strong appeal for the human brain. Research shows that when we learn through stories, we improve content retention and recall of key ideas. Stories encourage deep learning by establishing significant links and connections.<br />
<br />
In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education podcast, Bruce Collins interviews seven teachers from IBSC member schools who have successfully implemented storytelling as a pedagogy in their schools. These teachers from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa describe how they use of narrative in their classes. They discuss the impact on their teaching and offer advice for other teachers who want to explore using stories in class. Each highlights key research underpinning the use of narrative as a pedagogy.<br />

Find out how the IBSC Research Committee supports schools invested in research—including yours. Furthermore, their conversation touches on creating research communities within IBSC.<br />
<br />

		<title>S1/Ep.01 - Developing Boys’ Hearts: Wellness and Well-Being in Boys’ Schools</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/740290</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/740290</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Join IBSC Director of Membership Engagement, Bruce Collins, as he hosts conversations about the importance of boys’ wellness with Hal Hannaford, headmaster, Selwyn House School (Canada); Sonia Lupien, director and founder, Centre for Studies on Human Stress; and Ned Hallowell, renowned psychiatrist and New York Times best-selling author.<br />
<br />
At the 2019 IBSC Annual Conference in Montréal, Hal Hannaford emphasized the vital importance of connecting with other boys’ educators. Now he shares his vision of why all boys’ schools need to create welcoming spaces that focus on wellness. One of the most important roles of boys’ schools is to foster meaningful connections in our communities.<br />
<br />
The engaging Sonia Lupien builds on the conversation by explaining on the scientific impact of stress on children and teenagers. She highlights ways schools and teachers can ameliorate the impact of stress in boys’ lives. Lupien speaks about the power of meaningful relationships, recognition of individual talents, the signs of stress responses in students, stress response and gender, and losing mobilized energy.<br />
<br />
Ned Hallowell, an expert in treating ADHD and dyslexia, describes what he means when he says, “I don’t treat disabilities, I help unwrap gifts.” The Harvard-trained psychiatrist offers his advice for teacher of boys as they engage with boys who face challenges. He details how to recognize and deal with students who might be struggling with so-called learning disabilities, including navigating prejudicial responses to these. Hallowell also speaks about the power of connectedness to create safe spaces for the boys we teach.<br />

		<title>Exploring Boys' Education Pilot Episode: An Important Moment for Boys and Boys' Schools</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/734948</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/734948</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Join Sherry Rusher, dean of faculty at St. Albans School (United States), in the inaugural episode of the Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast as she hosts a conversation with Adam Cox, author of “Cracking the Boy Code”.<br />
<br />
Rusher and Cox highlight how the current climate finds boys under heavy scrutiny—and boys’ schools even more so. They explore what boys’ schools and boyhood represent and challenge the perception of what is really happening in boys’ schools. Cox enumerates effective ways to engage boys in responsible citizenship and respectful relations, and both share examples of what boys’ schools are doing successfully in this regard. They illuminate how boys find their most authentic selves and how schools can create genuine forums for exchange. Cox offers insight into how boys’ schools can encourage listening, empathy, and vulnerability in boys. Both experts agree that weaving character development into every facet of school life creates an effective way of engaging boys in meaningful discussion and helping them find purpose in adolescence. Cox asserts that, in many ways, boys’ schools answer the challenges boys frequently face. <a href="https://www.theibsc.org/">IBSC</a>]]></description>
