    Hard & Human Work: CPET's Core Principles, Part 2

    In the landscape of professional learning, it is easy to settle for "random acts of kindness" or one-size-fits-all workshops—but real, sustainable change requires a deeper grounding. In this episode of Teaching Today, Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang is joined by Dr. Kelsey Hammond and Dr. Sherrish Holloman to explore three of CPET’s "Six C’s": Cultivating Strengths, Contextualized Practice, and Culturally Relevant, Responsive, and Sustaining Pedagogy (CRSP). The conversation moves beyond flashy mission statements to the "complex root system" of intentional practice. Listen in for a vulnerable and insightful conversation about how these principles work recursively to elevate the humanity and expertise of every educator.

    More Urgent Than Ever: CPET's Core Principles in Practice, Part 1

    What does it really mean to reflect — not just on what happened, but on why it matters and what comes next? In this episode, Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang reunites with three of CPET's original team members — Courtney Brown, Dr. Cristina Compton, and Dr. Marcelle Mentor — to revisit 3 of the 6 principles that have grounded CPET's work for over a decade. Together, they look back at the messy, generative process of naming what they were already doing, and make the case for why Critical Reflection, Cycles of Inquiry, and Communities of Practice are not relics of the past — but essential tools for navigating the present. Pull up a chair. This is one of those conversations you'll want to eavesdrop on. We’re proud to make this content free and accessible to all.

    From Right Answers to Real Thinking: Equitable Math Instruction

    Have you ever said or heard), I'm just not a math person? You're not alone — and according to our guests, that belief didn't happen by accident. In this episode, Dr. Gregory Benoit and Dr. Erin Barno join us to explore what it really means to teach mathematics ambitiously and equitably — moving beyond procedures and correct answers toward classrooms where meaning-making, multiple approaches, and every student's thinking are at the center. If you've ever wondered how to disrupt traditional math instruction without losing the room, this conversation is for you. We’re proud to make this content free and accessible to all.

    Crossing the Bridge: Equity, Identity, and Access in Math Education

    Math scores are lagging. Teachers are overwhelmed. And somewhere along the way, too many students stopped believing they're "math people." This episode is about changing that. Join us for a conversation with Dr. LaToya Byrd and Dr. April Mouton of Illustrative Mathematics — on problem-based learning, what effective professional development looks like, and why access to high-quality math instruction belongs to every student, teacher, and community member.

    Teaching for Equity: Honoring What Early Career Teachers Know About Anti-Racist Pedagogy

    Seventy-one years after Brown v. Board of Education, our schools are still grappling with segregation — not by law, but by the weight of history, housing, and systems that were never built with equity in mind. In this episode, host Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang sits down with Dr. Maria Luisa Underwood, CPET's lead professional development advisor, to talk about what it takes to prepare early career teachers for the racially diverse classrooms they step into every day. Drawing from her doctoral research on anti-racist pedagogy and K–5 teachers in New York City, Dr. Underwood shares what her study revealed — including what surprised her most — and offers a framework that any educator can use to reflect, grow, and take action.

    From Stressful to Successful: Transforming Parent–Teacher Conferences

    For many teachers, parent-teacher conferences rank among the most nerve-wracking moments of the school year. But what if they didn't have to be? In this episode, host Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang sits down with New Teacher Network leaders Courtney Brown and Pam McGowen to talk about what makes family engagement so challenging — and rewarding. From that first anxious phone call home to navigating multilingual families and emotionally charged conversations, they share real stories, hard-won lessons, and practical strategies that work. Whether you're heading into your first round of conferences or looking to strengthen the family relationships you've already built, this conversation will leave you feeling more prepared, more empathetic, and maybe even a little excited to pull up a chair.

    Student-Centered Everything: Leadership, Policy, and the Cafeteria

    What if your most disengaged students—the ones with heads on desks and hoodies over their eyes—actually want to do their best work? Research shows they do. In this episode, Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang and Dr. Cristina Compton sit down with Dr. Kyra M. Caldwell Templeton, Program Director of Student Engagement at Atlanta Public Schools, to explore what happens when schools move beyond asking students about spirit week themes and actually bring them to the table for curriculum design, policy decisions, and strategic planning. As Dr. Caldwell Templeton reminds us: "You can simply ask a student and they'll tell you." The question is—are we ready to truly listen? We’re proud to make this content free and accessible to all.

    Sparking Curiosity: How to Engage Students in "Hard to Read" Content

    In this episode, Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang sits down with Dr. Adele Bruni Ashley and Dr. Jen Gowers to discuss Literacy Unbound, an initiative designed to transform the way students engage with complex, "hard to read" texts. The conversation explores how to move away from rigid, traditional literary analysis toward a model of collaborative artistry and creative remixing. Through multiple entry points and "taming" intimidating texts, stories that seem far away become personally relevant and accessible to all learners.
