Teachers who are struggling to find their sea legs and all teachers in between,, in schools that served incarcerated youth, and in schools where teachers drew the blinds because the view of the beach was too distracting. In addition to providing support to teachers, I've also had the opportunity to provide training and support to instructional coaches and administrators, and I continue to work in schools across the country in that capacity.
I chronicled that work and much of what I've learned about instruction and coaching in two books teach fast focused, adaptable structured teaching and maximizing the impact of coaching cycles. The persistent truth about teaching that is confirmed in every classroom is this, teaching is hard and unfortunately much of the advice from many of the experts make the job more difficult instead of easier. Many ideas and innovations would be great, and the kids would love them if only teachers had the time, and other resources necessary to make those ideas work. The goal of this show is to articulate advice to make teaching easier and learning easier for teachers and students.
The advice will be common sense evidence-based, and most importantly, it will be advice that has already been implemented in a real classroom.
These are not pie in the sky ideas that, oh, wouldn't it be nice for someone to try someday? If you wanna hear about the latest edu fads and conversations filled with cliches and buzzwords, find another podcast.
What you will hear here are ideas that have already successfully been used in real classrooms by real teachers and are proven to be effective to help students succeed. In other words, you know, only step that works. Talk to you soon.
