Introducing: Sold a Story

Emily Hanford introduces the first episode of her new podcast, Sold a Story. There's an idea about how children learn to read that's held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this podcast, Hanford investigates the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. It's an exposé of how educators came to believe in something that isn't true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended.

No Excuses: Race and Reckoning at a Chicago Charter School

Producer DJ Cashmere spent seven years teaching Black and brown students at a Noble Street charter high school in Chicago. At the time, Noble followed a popular model called "no excuses." Its schools required strict discipline but promised low-income students a better shot at college. After DJ left the classroom to become a journalist, Noble disavowed its own policies — calling them "assimilationist, patriarchal, white supremacist, and anti-black." In this hour, DJ, who is white, revisits his old school as it tries to reinvent itself as an anti-racist institution. And he seeks out his former students to ask them how they felt about being on the receiving end of all that education reform, and what they think now about the time they spent in his classroom.

Fading Beacon: Why America is Losing International Students

Colleges and universities in the United States attract more than a million international students a year. Higher education is one of America’s top service exports, generating $42 billion in revenue. But the money spigot is closing. The pandemic, visa restrictions, rising tuition and a perception of poor safety in America have driven new international student enrollment down by a jaw-dropping 72 percent. Read more: The U.S. may never regain its dominance as a destination for international students. Here's why that matters.

Who wants to be a teacher? Episode 4: This very leaky pipeline

Today, more Black and Hispanic teachers enter the classroom through alternative pathways than through traditional teacher degree programs. The number of teachers of color in the United States has more than doubled since the 1980s in large part due to the growing number of preparation and certification pathways and recruitment efforts from the federal level down. But there's a catch: Many of these teachers won’t stay for long, further undermining efforts to get diversity in the teacher labor force to reflect the diversity of students in the United States.

Who wants to be a teacher? Episode 3: The trouble with grading teachers

Critics of the rise in alternative and for-profit programs will claim teacher quality, and student learning, suffers when people are fast-tracked into the classroom without comprehensive training. But it’s hard to know for certain whether that’s true. The problem is, despite decades of trying, we haven’t agreed on how to measure teacher quality. There’s a lot of research that shows having a good teacher makes a huge difference in the outcomes of students, but it’s much less clear what makes a teacher good.

Life-changing journalism. So heartbroken the new CEO is dissolving it and laying off excellent reporters.
Well reported and engaging

When we started at a charter school nine years ago in nyc we were encouraged to get engaged in the debate over how schools operate so some of this material is familiar. We have been fortunate to attend Success Academy which has tackled many of the issues plaguing other schools. It’s still a work in progress but they are trying everyday with luxury of being a small and focused operation. This year we start with a city school that promises to be better than average. Fingers crossed. Also enjoyed the international student episode. They hinted at a looming college for colleges on the horizon. Looking forward to report on the coming drought of students
The findings are validating but not shocking

DesperatelyConcerned

The findings are validating but not shocking. When I graduated in 2011, I was one of the only graduates to find a teaching job—most of my friends had to do clerical work and food service. At my first interview, I was told there had been 600 applications, and they selected ten of us to interview—I didn’t get the job. Ultimately, I applied to 265 teaching jobs. I only got interviews with 8 of them. I only advanced to the second round of interviews with 2 of those. After that, I received 1 offer. Ten years later, you have 265 districts vying for 8 candidates.
