    I'm no longer a professional educator, but I'm a parent. I keep learning interesting tidbits that encourage me about the progress we're making in educating kids. I have high hopes for the future because of the work of dedicated professionals like Zach.

  • Compelling, even from the other side

    I’m (mostly) on the other side of the math-teaching spectrum from Zach, but I listen to every episode. The ideas are laid out clearly and the guests are super experienced. Even when I think they’re getting things wrong, I can’t argue with the quality of the conversation.

  • Literal Fountain of Educational Information

    Zach’s podcast is the perfect balance of fascinating insights and companionable presentation. He has opened my eyes to so much of the Science of Learning with brilliant researchers sharing their work in-person. His Direct Instruction foray was mind-blowing and opened up huge areas of interest for me. My biggest problem is keeping up with the life-changing insights - I almost always want to buy a book after listening to him and his guests and they never fail to disappoint.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S5E23: Richard Wheadon on Teaching Learning Habits and Returning to the Classroom
Q: Can you summarize the key routines you advocate for in the classroom and why they matter?
Key routines such as call-and-response and check-for-listening create early success, build student engagement, and provide a platform for deeper learning; they are not one-off tricks but sustained practices that can be embedded over years to support expert learning.
S5E23: Richard Wheadon on Teaching Learning Habits and Returning to the Classroom
Q: How do leadership roles intersect with classroom practice, and what have you learned returning to teaching?
Leadership is different from hands-on teaching; returning to the classroom revealed how easy it is to stay detached from daily teaching realities, showing the need for leaders to stay close to classroom work and model routines that students can actually experience and own.
S5E23: Richard Wheadon on Teaching Learning Habits and Returning to the Classroom
Q: What motivated you to write Learning Habits and what is the core goal for students?
The book aims to make students expert learners by explicitly teaching them how learning works, connecting cognitive science to practical classroom strategies, and guiding them to take ownership of their decisions through deliberate practice and habit formation.
S5E20: Christopher Such on Action Steps for Reading and the Latest Literacy Debates
Q: What should coaches and teachers do next after phonics to improve comprehension and engagement with texts?
Focus on three goals: fluent reading through scaffolded decoding, meaningful reading experiences with texts to build broad language understanding, and engaging students in deeper text discussions to develop critical reading and personal identity as readers.
S5E20: Christopher Such on Action Steps for Reading and the Latest Literacy Debates
Q: How do linguistic phonics and traditional phonics differ, and can they coexist in a classroom?
They are extremes of how curriculums can be organized (speech-to-print vs print-to-speech), but in practice there are middle grounds and blends that can combine the strengths of both approaches while focusing on teacher modeling and practice.
