  • Meh...

    Host speaks as though he only cares about getting through his checklist of topics. Guest was great, but I'm not sure if the content outweighs the periodic cringe-worthy moments.

  • Host is annoying but the guests are great

    Not the best produced podcast (e.g., listened to an episode which included audio of the host blowing his nose while the guest was talking), but the guests are always insightful. I appreciate the content and topics but think the host is just so annoying. He talks over people, repeats himself, and makes not-very-funny jokes. I've nearly unsubscribed because of how annoying I find him, but I've stayed with it because I can't find a podcast with good topics and hosts like these!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Science of Reading Isn’t Enough with Dr. Carolyn Brown
Q: What might be missing from a strong foundation in the science of reading, and what should school leaders look for in applying the science of learning?
Brown says explicit phonics instruction provides foundational skills, while the science of learning adds practice conditions that help students retain, retrieve, and transfer them. She recommends varied and progressively challenging tasks, contrasting similar sounds, and reviewing prior learning.
The Science of Reading Isn’t Enough with Dr. Carolyn Brown
Q: When we say a child is learning to read, what are we actually talking about? What does a child have to learn to become a proficient reader?
Brown describes reading as a developmental process that begins with hearing sounds and mapping them to letters. Children also need meaningful instruction and practice to recognize patterns, connect words to meaning, generalize what they learn, and reach fluency and comprehension.
The Halloween Problem
Q: Why might that kind of approach work?
Perry says community relationships and familiarity make harmful behavior less impersonal: people are more likely to consider how their actions affect neighbors they know and understand.
The Halloween Problem
Q: When a child keeps behaving in a way adults don't want, where do we usually start looking for a solution?
Perry says adults' emotional reactions, classroom pressures, and perceived urgency often shape their response. She encourages adults to regulate themselves and consider whether control is necessary or whether collaboration and the surrounding environment should guide their response.
Giving Teachers a Second Set of Eyes with Adam Geller and Peter Youngs
Q: What are you finding? What kind of feedback are you getting and how is it impacting practice, self-belief?
Youngs says teachers in an initial study of about 20 participants valued rapid feedback, repeated coaching cycles, and the system's usefulness. Researchers found improved mathematics teaching self-efficacy, while results for noticing skills, beliefs about high-quality instruction, and changes in observed teaching remain inconclusive or under review.
