Customer Reviews
Excellent resource for the thoughtful teacher!
I’m a secondary math teacher, and I discovered Craig’s book, How I Wish I’d Taught Maths, this summer. I took pages and pages of notes and am very excited to employ many of his strategies in my classroom this coming year.
While the book gave me some excellent guidance into what I want to do in my classroom, the podcast is great for helping me see what that might actually look like in practice, with tangible examples.
My Favorite Research Ed Podcast
This is hands-down my favorite research Ed podcast. I’m an adjunct math instructor for a university, secondary math tutor, and elementary homeschool teacher. I need evidence-based techniques I can apply NOW for a wide variety of ages and math levels. This podcast delivers. You won’t be disappointed. Craig rocks!
Excellent Show
I’m a history teacher in Massachusetts and I wish that the education renaissance that has been happening in England would reach our shores! I was happy to recently learn that Craig Barton had started a new show! He is a great interlocutor & asks the best questions of his guests. He reads my mind with some of his questions! I really enjoyed the Tom Sherrington & Dylan William episodes. Must listens! His interview with Sherrington on Mr. Barton’s Maths was also excellent.
