  • Tuned in interviewer and Great guests.

    Loved Brendan’s interview with my favourite Linguist- Lyn Stone.

    Pertinent questions, great overview of where to start with the Science of Reading. Lyn mentioned so many great resources and ideas. And summed up some of the most important areas to focus on with literacy. Yaay!

  • Knowledge for teachers - an incredible first podcast!

    One of the best PL Podcasts for teachers, leaders, Principals and educationalists, ever! Some in-depth questions with some insightful answers from both presenter, Brendan Lee & special guest , Dr Russ Fox. Worth taking notes and having a discussion with your team about some of the points raised. There are lots of useful tips to try out and practice in class. There are many reasons why the Science of Learning would help students, teachers and leaders improve their practice. Loved this first podca... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S04E05 - Dr. Kimberly Nix Berens on Applying the Science of Behaviour and Precision Teaching to Accelerate Learning
Q: Why is fluency such a central concept in this approach?
Fluency represents a functional mastery that correlates with retention, the ability to apply skills to new tasks, and endurance under longer or more challenging conditions; it's measured as rate of correct responses over time and informs both progress and instructional decisions.
S04E05 - Dr. Kimberly Nix Berens on Applying the Science of Behaviour and Precision Teaching to Accelerate Learning
Q: How does precision teaching translate to a classroom setting, especially in group vs one-on-one formats?
Precision teaching starts with one-on-one intensive interventions but originally evolved from group-level classroom use; it relies on timed practice, data-driven decisions, and group or individual timing protocols to drive fluent mastery across skills, with data guiding pacing and progression.
S04E05 - Dr. Kimberly Nix Berens on Applying the Science of Behaviour and Precision Teaching to Accelerate Learning
Q: What is fit learning and why was it created?
Fit Learning was founded to rapidly advance core academic skills by applying behavior-science-based instructional design, including precision teaching and direct instruction, to classroom contexts; its aim is to close foundational skill gaps so students can benefit from standard instruction.
S04E03 - Dr. Brian Poncy on Facts on Fire: Why Fluency Is the Foundation of Mathematical Thinking
Q: What are some common implementation mistakes you hear about?
A frequent issue arises when teachers expect results without providing adequate everyday practice in a structured manner, which hinders students' progress.
S04E03 - Dr. Brian Poncy on Facts on Fire: Why Fluency Is the Foundation of Mathematical Thinking
Q: Why does fluency and math matter?
Fluency is critical because it serves as a bridge to higher-order skill development. Students must acquire basic skills fluently to have the mental space needed for complex mathematical tasks.
