Thanks, keep it up!
A bunch of anecdotes and case studies which lack science. Reading scores have barely budged and this offers such limited data that this fad will be any different. She doesn’t teach but observes snippets and shares moments. That’s not science
The message of the podcast is vital for our teachers and schools. This could have been five stars if more of an objective journalistic/research approach was taken. It felt too much like an ad for the speaker’s book which brings the veracity of the content into question. I still enjoyed it because I know there are other academic who have come to the same conclusion. I just wish the podcast had focused more on a variety of authorities on the topic rather than just the speaker.
I have a variety of complaints about this podcast, but I think the most basic one is that it didn’t clearly make a case. It was messy and jumped around a lot. It also assumed a correct answer instead of making an argument and walking the listener through it.
Depressing, but enlightening. And so important for teachers and parents who want to understand how their school aged children are learning.
