  • I learned about the Cult of Pedagogy through my student teaching program, and it has become a regular listen as I continously refine my teaching practice. I have implemented many of the tips and practices in my classroom with great success. I highly recommend to anyone in the education field or interested in education.

  • Helpful information, disappointed in the promotion of AI

    I am a TA and utilize many strategies/ideas talked about on this podcast. I was really disappointed by the AI ad in the latest episode. There is ample evidence of the harm that AI does to marginalized communities (promoting racist/sexist ideas, depleting environmental resources, etc.) I strongly believe that it does not belong in the classroom, regardless of the short term benefits it may offer.

  • Great ideas for better teaching

    I tried several education podcasts and didn’t find them particularly useful for my teaching practice. This one has actionable tips and higher level ideas with a variety of approaches and purposes with no rambling.

The unit starts with an essential question, progresses through various readings and discussions, and ends with a writing project all tied back to that question.

267: How Inquiry-Based Freewriting Can Deepen Student Writing
Q: What led you to start using free writing in your classroom?
Realizing that students were often constrained and unable to express their real voices in writing made me explore free writing as a technique to encourage authentic expression.
265: Growth Discourse: A Framework for Discussing Hard Topics with Students
Q: What advice do you have for teachers who would like to try using this framework for the first time?
It's important for teachers to have support from their institution's leadership, to make sure that the discomfort in conversations is equitably shared among students, and to give themselves grace when making mistakes.

Q: Does your program attract people that actually have polar viewpoints or do they tend to all kind of be on the same side of issues?
