  • The message teachers NEED to hear!

    Jacob and Pam hit the nail on the head every time, and it’s why I never miss an episode. The “will programs replace teachers” is one in particular that must be heard and shared. If we want to keep real teaching and learning at the center, then we should all be listening to the sage advice shared here.

  • Workshop / SOR

    Always inspiring to listen to!! For those looking to connect Science of Reading and workshop in my opinion these 2 nail it! I’m no expert but I do my share of trying to learn what SOR is and it seems it’s direct instruction. What could be more direct then starting every mini lesson with the standard, teaching the standard and having kids practice, with their own material. Thanks for all the inspiration.

  • Love it!

    Jacob and Pam have reenforced so much about what I believe students need in order to grow as individuals through reading and writing. Their banter is fun; they seem to really enjoy learning from each other.

  • Students first

    I love how this podcast always puts students first. Most teacher podcasts aim to make the teacher’s life easier when what we should be asking ourselves during planning is not what’s easier for the teacher but what’s going to make it easier for the students to learn. As I listen to you both and reflect on ALL my mistakes I realize that the moments I enjoy are when my students are truly engaged. Easier lessons and less stressful days are a natural result of good authentic planning.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#221 STAAR Writing Support
Q: Can you please revisit the STAR extended construction response?
The essential focus should be on the central idea, and students should be encouraged to identify and understand it rather than stressing about the structure.
#222 Standard Based Learning with a Twist of Assessment
Q: How would be the easiest way to describe what standards based learning or standards based grading is?
Standards-based learning focuses on specific learning goals, where lessons are created to help students meet these standards, whereas standards-based grading assesses how well students meet those standards.
