Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 534: Virtual Teaching Writing Structure and Style
Q: What is the main benefit of the new Virtual Teaching Writing Structure and Style Workshop format?
The format combines live virtual instruction with interactive components, live chat, and access to materials, providing practical, immediately usable strategies for teachers while maintaining fidelity to the IEW method.
Episode 531: From Violins to Verbs – The Suzuki Method and IEW
Q: What sparked your interest in the Suzuki Method and how did it influence your later work in writing education?
The interviewee explains that early exposure to structured, environment-saturated learning and direct mentorship shaped his approach. He describes how Suzuki's emphasis on starting young, parental involvement, and repetitive, immersive practice influenced his understanding of teaching writing as a durable, repeatable skill.
Episode 530: Live Ask Andrew Anything
Q: With AI affecting personal essays in college admissions, how might universities approach candidate selection?
AI may improve technical aspects of writing but cannot replicate personal life experiences; admissions may pivot to assessing personal experiences and insights, possibly reducing the weight of purely written essays and exploring alternative submission formats, though the landscape is evolving and uncertain.
Episode 530: Live Ask Andrew Anything
Q: What worksheets can I use to help students identify wrong uses of dress-up, sentence-openers, etc.?
Use fix-it style exercises and refer to related resources like But What About Grammar and Four Deadly Errors; the idea is to create targeted micro-lessons from real student examples rather than producing full worksheets, focusing on right-at-point-of-need corrections.
Episode 530: Live Ask Andrew Anything
Q: If the same person serves as the editor and the grader, how do the roles differ?
The editor fixes surface issues like spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure to make the piece legal and readable, while grading evaluates whether the work meets broader criteria; in practice, the editor may return the work for revisions, whereas grading assesses if it passes or needs improvement, with possible two-grade outcomes: accomplished or incomplete.
