  • Keeps me going!

    Hearing Zach, Kareem, Kate and the gang always gets me excited for the upcoming week because it always gives me something new to try or incorporate into my pedagogy. The MCP has set me on a path to constantly improving my practice and I’m so grateful!

    Plus, it destroys the Sunday Scaries for me. After listening on Sunday afternoon, I feel totally ready to slay on Monday!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 281: Desmos
Q: How did you first get into using Desmos in your classroom?
Rebecca explains she started with Desmos as a flexible platform for open-ended tasks, gradually expanding to include dashboards, videos, and automated feedback to support mastery-based learning.
Shortcast 250: Visual Rubrics
Q: How do you handle communication with parents and the broader school community when adopting a four-level mastery rubric?
I educate parents upfront about the new system, explain that numbers on the LMS may reflect a different artifact, and use back-to-school nights to align everyone on the meaning of the four levels and the focus on mastery rather than arbitrary percentages.
Shortcast 250: Visual Rubrics
Q: Could you walk us through the process of designing one of your visual rubrics, and what elements are most important to communicate mastery visually?
The design aimed to reduce cognitive load by avoiding text-heavy content and using a picture or infographic that clearly maps learning targets to four mastery levels, so students can quickly grasp what they know, what they don't, and how to progress.
Episode 280: Ready for Innovation
Q: How should districts approach planning for small groups in a self-paced model?
Provide a structured time within the day for small groups, use existing data to form groups, and ensure groups are differentiated rather than repeating the same lesson; use videos for baseline lessons and pull the groups based on needs.
Episode 280: Ready for Innovation
Q: What are the first steps for a district considering this approach?
Start with conversations with leadership to see if there is organizational support, then engage interested teachers and clearly communicate that you're not forcing adoption, but offering a collaborative option that respects teachers' readiness.
