  • Fantastic Show

    I agree, this podcast will be downloaded by many. This podcast made me feel grateful and fortunate to work for a charter school, where our leadership has a direct impact on students and their needs. As an ELD Coach, I have the opportunity to build relationships with over 100 students across 5 school sites. I am required, as our Assistant Principals and other leadership, to get to know our students and get involved with student activities.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S10 E04: Decoding Misconceptions in Reading Education with Timothy Shanahan
Q: What has changed in reading instruction since your early career, and what should administrators focus on to raise achievement at scale?
Administrators should push for grade-level reading with targeted scaffolds, vocabulary support, decoding work, and explicit background knowledge development, while avoiding clichéd ideologies that kept kids reading easier texts.
S10 E04: Decoding Misconceptions in Reading Education with Timothy Shanahan
Q: Can you tell folks about your new book and why you wrote it now?
The book argues that traditional leveled-reading approaches haven't moved reading achievement and outlines why a shift toward grade-level text with structured supports is more effective, drawing on decades of research and personal teaching experience.
S10 E5: Feelings are Data - What Your Gut is Trying to Tell You About Your School (with Erica Ebert)
Q: How do you get people to be more self-aware without it feeling woo-woo or like therapy?
By grounding practices in everyday observations and non-judgmental curiosity, starting with awareness of physical signals (hunger, breath, tension) and linking them to concrete work realities, rather than abstract concepts.
