  • Episodes won’t play?

    This is the only podcast I subscribed to where the episodes won’t play. Is this because I’m not paying to play them? I can’t tell?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Make Every Intervention More Effective with Matt Burns
Q: Where should teachers start if they want to replicate what Matt Burns is talking about?
Matt suggests starting with three key assessment questions: Can the child do it at the end of the lesson? Do they remember it the next day? Can they apply it?
How to Make Every Intervention More Effective with Matt Burns
Q: Can you just tell us about those two kids and what didn't match their needs?
Matt explains that one child struggled with initial learning while the other could not retain the information, leading them to modify the intervention based on specific needs.
Kindergarten Intervention That Gets Results
Q: What kind of assessments are you giving?
We provide a multi-layer of assessments, including standardized assessments and teacher observations, to identify students needing support.
Kindergarten Intervention That Gets Results
Q: What does your tier two intervention really look like?
It's very targeted, with students getting about 15 minutes of small group instruction two to three times a week, focusing specifically on their individual needs.
Scaffolding Challenging Texts for All Readers with Christina Cover
Q: But what about when students don't comprehend what they're reading, right?
I think especially again, at the secondary level, at the middle and high school level, it's so difficult for educators to consider new strategies to help students who might still be struggling with their comprehension.
