    Rethinking the Teacher Pipeline: Allison Maudlin on Alternative Paths Into Education

    In this episode of EdTech Elevated, host Allison Langley, Senior Marketing Strategist and Manager with Partner in Publishing, sits down with Allison Maudlin, VP of Marketing at Unlimited Instruction, for a conversation about the evolving role of technology, tutoring, and human connection in K-12 education. Allison shares her journey from classroom teacher to education marketer and explains what drew her to Unlimited Instruction, an organization focused on helping schools address teacher shortages by finding, training, and placing educators, paraprofessionals, specialists, and tutors through alternative pathways. Together, they explore the changing tutoring landscape and why meeting students where they are requires more than technology alone. The conversation also dives into alternative pathways into teaching, the changing expectations of parents and families, education technology and screen-time concerns, and how AI is prompting both marketers and educators to rethink the way they work.  Finally, Allison shares advice for marketers entering the education space: know your audience, understand their challenges, meet them where they are, and—above all—be useful. Whether you're an EdTech leader, education marketer, school district decision-maker, or someone interested in the future of tutoring and teacher recruitment, this episode offers a thoughtful look at why the future of education may depend on finding the right balance between technology and humans.

    How Tiny Things Make a Big Impact: Teaching Chemistry with Dr. Ashley Evanoski-Cole and Dr. Elaine Villanueva Bernal

    What if the most powerful chemistry lessons were the ones students couldn't see, but could feel in their everyday lives? In this episode of EdTech Elevated, host Elaine Villanueva Bernal, Ph.D. Chemist of the University of California, Long Beach, is joined by Dr. Ashley Evanoski-Cole, Ph.D. Chemist of Westfield State University, who believes that tiny, invisible interactions can spark big learning breakthroughs. Together, Elaine and Ashley explore how chemistry comes alive when it's connected to the world students already care about, from the air we breathe and the food we cook to exercise, weather, and even baking. They dive into how tools like REAL CHEM and interactive simulations help students visualize abstract concepts, collaborate more confidently, and move past common barriers like math anxiety. The conversation also touches on the role of mentorship in chemistry education, the power of group learning, and how thoughtfully designed explorations and checkpoints can help students build both conceptual understanding and confidence. Along the way, Elaine and Ashley share practical examples of how stoichiometry becomes a kitchen lesson, atmospheric chemistry becomes personal, and learning shifts from memorization to meaning. Whether you're teaching general chemistry, designing courseware, or looking for ways to help students see themselves in STEM, this episode is a reminder that when chemistry feels real, students lean in.
