Better Teaching: Only Stuff That Works

I’ve worked with Gene now in multiple educational settings as a school and district administrator, and I can say without a doubt that Gene knows what he’s talking about! TESS and his FAST teaching framework provide teachers with the actual “how to” of effective first instruction lesson design. Either through his easy to read and use books, or his in-person staff trainings, Gene can enhance the effectiveness of any teacher who truly has the desire to improve their craft! These podcasts reflect his knowledge of education and educators making instruction accessible to kids and doable for teachers!

Great show. Unlike most educelebrities, Gene shares stuff that actually works.

I enjoyed listening to the Gene Tavernetti podcast. It was easy to understand, and I appreciated this common-sense approach to good teaching. The podcast shared a number of relevant considerations and important take-aways. It discussed the relationship between technology-based activities and proven teaching practices. One of the most helpful examples included a description of a cyber sandwich (from eduprotocol) which incorporates technology into think-pair-share. The podcast also stressed the importance of instructional modeling, student engagement, and learning practice. The podcast expressed that a teacher needs to be the master designer of their lesson and use technology to support their design.

Dr. Tavernetti shares information to educators, coaches, and administrators that is both helpful and realistic! Good stuff!
