246: How to Keep Teaching Well When DEI is Under Attack 27:31

5d ago27:31

27:31

Recent executive orders have launched an attack on teaching for diversity, equity, and inclusion. How do you teach at this precarious time in history when so much work has been done to weave these values into so many of our materials and practices? The more I think about it, the more I think you may not have to change as much as it might seem. When…

245: A System for Meeting Absent Students' Needs 35:04

10d ago35:04

35:04

You can create the most spectacular lesson plans, but if all of your students aren't in the room when those plans are executed, catching them up can be kind of a nightmare. And despite the fact that this has been a problem for generations, few teachers have ever figured out a foolproof plan for solving it. My guest today has an approach that can he…

EduTip 26: Give lots of quizzes. 5:06

17d ago5:06

5:06

One of the best-kept secrets in teaching is that frequent quizzing leads to better learning. If you can incorporate more ungraded or low-stakes quizzes into your instruction, there's a good chance your students will start remembering more of what they're learning.

244: Three Ways You May Be Cognitively Overloading Your Students 40:18

23d ago40:18

40:18

When we make certain choices, often without even realizing it, we can turn a teaching moment from one that should be clear into one that's confusing. Luckily, these choices are pretty easy to spot and fix once we know what to look for, and cognitive science can help us understand what's going on. In this episode I'm going to talk about three of the…

EduTip 25: Use neutral language to keep things cool. 4:28

1M ago4:28

4:28

In a classroom that is emotionally "cool," no one is preoccupied with any kind of anger, hurt feelings, anxiety, or fear, and this frees them up to concentrate on academics. One way to make that happen is by using neutral language: By choosing words that are less judgy and more neutral, we keep things professional, calm, and cool. -----------------…

EduTip 24: Use "I" statements to promote your teaching ideas. 3:26

1M ago3:26

3:26

As you move through your career, you'll discover new ways of doing things that you're excited about — so excited that you want to share them with colleagues and convince them to try them, too. But trained professionals aren't always open to changing the way they work, and we don't want to come off as the know-it-all telling everyone what to do. So …

4M ago29:19

29:19

Multitasking isn't great for our brains, it compromises our mental health, and ultimately it doesn't even work, but that doesn't stop many of us from trying to do it all the time. What we may not realize is that it also sneaks into our classrooms and interferes with learning, and it's happening in ways you may not even notice. In today's episode, I…

50:00

For many this week, the discomfort and pain of living side by side with people who see the world so differently from us has hit hard.

59:50

Books are one of the most powerful ways to learn about others and about ourselves. But for that learning to happen, we need a wide range of stories that represent a whole spectrum of people and lives. In many schools and classrooms, however, the offerings are far too narrow.

236: Five Conditions for Getting Formative Assessment Right 47:18

5M ago47:18

47:18

Any time we teach our students something, we need to check to see how well they learned it. If we only do this check at the very end, after all the teaching is done, and we find that our students haven't learned the material, it's too late to do anything about it. That's why we really need to do formative assessment — checking along the way — so if…

If our students are going to thrive, they all need to feel safe, accepted, and loved while under our care.

For these students, creating a school that feels safe a…
