Making Words Stick: 
A Four-Step Instructional Routine to Power Up Orthographic Mapping			
Written by Molly Ness and Katie Pace Miles
Narrated by AhDream Smith									

The average reader instantly recognizes 30,000 to 70,000 words-with no need to sound them out. How does that happen? Through a process called orthographic mapping. This audiobook explains the process by which readers embed words into their long-term memories, and the instruction necessary to help K-5 students do just that. Teachers will learn how to connect decoding, encoding, and meaning through a four-step, research-based, classroom-tested routine that accelerates students' abilities to lift words off the page and capture them in reading and writing.

Mighty Moves to Organize Your Day and Optimize Student Learning											
Written by Lindsay Kemeny
Narrated by Kim Handysides	

As teachers learn about the science of reading, they're gaining knowledge about the "what," but not so much the "how." In other words, they don't have a clear picture of how to implement research-backed daily reading instruction... until now! This audiobook guides listeners through the literacy block, step-by-step - from morning arrival to whole-class and small-group instruction to literacy centers, writing time, and read-aloud. Loaded with teaching, planning, and management tips, sample schedules and routines.

Recieving the Gift of Feedback with Lonnie Weaver-Johnson

In Part 2 of Finding Your Why, PSIA-AASI National Team member Melodie Buell sits down again with George Thomas for a raw, heartfelt conversation about what it really takes to trust yourself, stay authentic, and reconnect with purpose—even when doubt creeps in.

From her first tearful ski lesson at age five to racing Division I in college, coaching junior athletes, and eventually finding her calling through adaptive instruction, Melodie shares how every turn on snow led her closer to understanding her “why.” Along the way, she talks about shifting from external validation—pins, titles, and team selections—to internal motivation grounded in impact, service, and inclusion.

This episode digs into the emotional side of professional growth in the ski and ride world—the part we don’t always talk about. Melodie opens up about facing imposter syndrome before national team tryouts, learning to sit with discomfort, and finding the courage to show up as her authentic self. Through vulnerability and grit, she reminds all instructors that living into your purpose isn’t about reaching a pinnacle—it’s about using every opportunity to connect, give back, and elevate the people and communities around you.

Whether you’re just starting your certification journey or decades into teaching, this conversation will hit home. It’s a reminder that your “why” can be the strongest tool in your quiver—and that believing in yourself might just be the most important skill of all.

26. Recap on USASP's 2024 Education and Professional Development Events

It involves reflection and learning to maintain skills and knowledge needed to support people who draw on care throughout their lives.

In Part 3 of Finding Our Why, PSIA-AASI member Kathy Mogensen joins George Thomas to share her journey from a seventh-grade ski-club kid with rental skis and fifty cents for hot chocolate to a 20-year PSIA-AASI instructor who’s helped generations of new skiers fall in love with the sport.

Kathy’s story captures what makes ski and snowboard instructors so passionate about what they do—the joy of watching guests gain confidence, connection, and community on snow. What started by chance—when a ski school director handed her a jacket and said, “Here’s your group”—grew into a lifelong purpose rooted in helping others discover the same love of skiing that shaped her family’s life.

Throughout the conversation, Kathy reflects on the mentors who guided her, the small ski areas that nurture tight-knit teaching communities, and the simple power of sharing turns with others. She also opens up about fear—how she’s faced it, learned from it, and now uses those lessons to help her students find control and confidence on the hill. Whether she’s teaching inner-city kids, moms learning to ski for the first time, or fellow instructors, Kathy’s “why” is simple: to create opportunities for others to feel the same joy and connection she’s found through skiing.

This episode celebrates the everyday instructors who make the biggest difference—not through big mountains or fancy titles, but through genuine care, patience, and passion for helping others find their way on snow.
