    The Science of Teaching: Making Research Work in Real Classrooms featuring Dr. Ian Kelleher [EP24]

    Today is all about the science of teaching and how educators can apply continued education in their classrooms. Our guest Dr. Ian Kelleher explains his role as the CTTL Research Chair and makes the case for further professionalizing the practice of teaching, as has been done with so many other fields. In this episode, we discuss why creating assessments only gets harder and the importance of mixing the science of learning with your subject knowledge to create your own "special sauce" as an educator. Listen to this episode to learn the early steps along the path of continued educator learning, why every school needs a head of research, and how to harness collective teacher efficacy.  SUBSCRIBE TO THINK DIFFERENTLY & DEEPLY ON iTUNES/APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/3JCpK1u And to support our work, please leave us a 5-star review with your feedback on iTunes/Apple Podcasts.

    You Have Something in Your Teeth: Growing as an Educator Through Research featuring Sara McAuliffe [EP23]

    Today's interview might have the catchiest title in our most recent publication. Sara McAuliffe is an English teacher, Co-Leader of New Employee Mentoring Program, and Professional Growth Pathway Co-Leader at St. Andrew's. In this episode, we talk about the personal nature of thinking about your craft and the constant nature of growth and improvement of the teaching profession. Listen to this episode to learn how teaching styles can change over time, how teachers continue to learn and grow, and how teachers can best convey the purpose of their assignments to their students. “I'm thinking about what is it that I prune so that I could do something else better or do something with better student success -- and one of those things is the type of feedback that I give.” - Sara McAuliffe SUBSCRIBE TO THINK DIFFERENTLY & DEEPLY ON iTUNES/APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/3JCpK1u And to support our work, please leave us a 5-star review with your feedback on iTunes/Apple Podcasts.

    From Police Officer to Science Teacher: A Journey in Research-Informed Teaching featuring Brittany Shields [EP22]

    Today's guest took one of the most unique pathways to education. Brittany Shields was a police officer before she worked at St. Andrews as a science teacher. In this episode, Brittany and I discuss why she left police work for teaching and the process she underwent to design her own forensics course. We also talk about the importance of understanding the brain and the lessons she learned as a police officer that carry over into her work as an educator. Listen in to learn one of the biggest mindset shifts for new teachers and how teachers can find their superpower.

  6. Belonging as the Foundation: Where Brain Science Meets Identity in the Classroom [EP 20]

    JAN 6

    Belonging as the Foundation: Where Brain Science Meets Identity in the Classroom [EP 20]

    Today we talk about belonging as a foundational element in the classroom with colleague and mentor, Lorraine Martinez Haley. Fifteen years ago 'belonging' wasn't a common buzzword among educators, so today we discuss the connection between the science of teaching and learning and the science of diversity, equity, and belonging. We ask how we as teachers can stay in this space rather than let the concept of belonging become a fad. We also talk about why belonging is important for both students and educators and how teachers can create space for their colleagues and students to show up as they need to. Listen to this episode to learn about the concept of Belonging 2.0, sharing authority in the classroom space, and how teachers can manage their power of choice and privilege as educators.  SUBSCRIBE TO THINK DIFFERENTLY & DEEPLY ON iTUNES/APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/3JCpK1u And to support our work, please leave us a 5-star review with your feedback on iTunes/Apple Podcasts.

    The Goldilocks Map: Finding the Right Balance in Research-Informed Teaching featuring Andrew C. Watson [EP19]

    This interview with Andrew Watson was recorded during the second USA Festival of Education. Andrew is what I call a positive skeptic. In this episode, we discuss the differences between the brain and the mind and debate the importance of studying both. We also offer tips for analyzing educational research. Listen to Andrew's educational journey and how it led him to teach English and eventually author books on topics like finding a balance in research-informed teaching.

    Just Tell Them: A Journey into Explicit Teaching featuring Zach Groshell [EP18]

    Zach Groshell is good gatekeeper of information, so we are very lucky today to be able to pick his brain about his educational passions, explicit teaching and direct instruction. In this episode, we define these two teaching styles, discuss the research behind them, and explain why explicit teaching is so rare. We also talk about the importance of background knowledge and offer tips for creating engaging moments between teachers. Listen to this episode to learn what makes good research and which teaching tools are non-negotiable.
