Hilde Mosse comes from one of the wealthiest families in Berlin and stands to inherit an enormous fortune. But she longs for something more meaningful than the luxurious lifestyle her family provides. So Hilde decides to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. As the Nazis take power in Germany and the Mosse family is forced to flee, Dr. Hilde Mosse lands in New York having nearly lost everything.. She finds her calling treating the mental health of Black youth – and the symptoms of a racist system. In addition to photographs, school records, and correspondence spanning Hilde Mosse’s entire lifetime, the Mosse Family Collection in the LBI Archives includes the diaries she kept between 1928 and 1934, from the ages of 16-22. Hilde’s papers are just part of the extensive holdings related to the Mosse Family at LBI. Learn more at lbi.org/hilde . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute, New York and Antica Productions. It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. This episode was written by Lauren Armstrong-Carter. Our executive producers are Laura Regehr, Rami Tzabar, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Our producer is Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Voice acting by Hannah Gelman. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson. Theme music by Oliver Wickham.

×Professional Learning Communities, or PLCs, provide a collegial network for educators to reflect on and improve their practice. We look at an evaluation of a pre-packaged PLC program that did not improve PLCs in schools, and wonder how we can support educators at the building level instead. Later, we look at how very early math is learned by children. They experience the snowball effect, meaning it is far more important that learners have experiences with math regardless of the specific types of math they may experience. Math is good, m’kay.…

Practice is more effective when we space it out, rather than doing lots of repetitions all at once. We read research that looked at the effect of varied practice compared to identical practice over time.

Science communication has been turned upside down by the explosion of popularity of social media platforms. We read a reconceptualization of nature-of-science education for the social media age. What is our job as teachers, of any content area, to prepare our students to be responsible consumers of science as citizens? Later, we turned to the role of a person’s self-concept in shaping how the interpret information and engage in learning. How much of our students’ self-concept can we influence as teachers, and what can we do to help students see themselves as successful learners?…

The importance of mathematical reasoning is visible in conversations from pandemics to politics. Sarah Dolence joins us to discuss how a numeracy framework developed for citizens can inform math instruction for students. Later, we read research connecting instructional choices to student perceptions of classroom goal structures. From tasks to evaluations, are we incentivizing growth? Finally, Sarah shares her experience teaching to a hybrid classroom of simultaneous in-person and remote students.…

The future of teaching depends on training future educators, but pairing student teachers with effective veterans can be challenging. New research allays some fears from veteran teachers by showing that taking a student teacher does not negatively impact classroom outcomes. Later, we explore a critique of scripted curricula that shows their inconsistency with democratic values… even at a theoretical level. Finally, we consider our options to build community in the waiting time before Zoom call starts.…

With many schools beginning the fall in remote or hybrid settings, we’re still thinking about digital teaching. Research on filming techniques shows how your camera and editing choices impact student retention and understanding. Later, we read about a new model for need-supportive teaching. Three essential elements build an engaging and productive classroom. Finally, we reflect on the role of teacher judgement in that need-supportive model.…
This month we’ll have our year in review! We’re looking back at the papers that impacted our thinking and our practice. We’ll also reflect on our personal journey as educators during an academic year unlike any other.

This month we’re talking about racism in US education. Our first paper presents the experience of Black men who have been expelled from US schools. Their stories highlight systemic problems that produce a school-to-prison pipeline that we must work to dismantle. Later, we read about gentrification of New York schools. Ties between whiteness and school resources undermines schools in Black communities. We must break this link and provide equitable funding.…
As our minds turn to plans for the fall, many districts are making “what if” plans for whether and how to return to in-person teaching. Guest host Kelly Kluthe brings guidelines for Missouri schools to consider how teachers can make use of safety recommendations in their classrooms. Later, we read an article about using critical analysis of online teaching to create humanizing pedagogy. We look at how to approach making inclusive spaces for online learning.…

Our second month of emergency remote teaching leaves us searching for ways to help our students grow in all the areas we value. We start by reading a paper that identifies connections between socio-emotional constructs, with ways to promote growth in executive function and citizenship together. Later, we read a program guide to effectively planning remote field trips. Avoid common mistakes and find options for connecting with possible visitors to your remote classroom. Finally, our Peer Review shares detailed feedback from authors of last month’s paper on award winning online instructors.…
Lali DeRosier joins us as a guest host for this month’s look at online teaching. The global pandemic of COVID-19 is affecting communities around the world, and many teachers are thrust into remote learning with little warning. First we read a study on the impact of interactive content and students-controlled challenge level. We look at how teachers can choose content to help their students stay engaged. Later, we read a qualitative analysis of the stories of award winning online teachers. We find lessons from their experience to guide our own attempts at remote instruction.…

In our increasingly globalized world, ever more students are growing up immersed in multiple cultures throughout their childhood. These children can become “third culture kids”, young people who identify with a hybrid culture that is distinct from any of the places they’ve lived. We consider how teachers can be sensitive to their experience and supportive in their journey. Later, we’ll read about Statway - a redesigned program that helps students engage in productive struggle and earn collegiate math credit faster and more consistently than a typical remedial program. We find lessons from their implementation that can be useful in any classroom or institution. Finally, we read from a Mixed Bag of listener mail that prompts us to think more about past discussions on feedback and change initiatives. We drink Cast Iron, an oatmeal brown from 4 Hands Brewing in St. Louis, MO.…
Every student deserves an equitable opportunity to learn in our classroom. Jennifer Pusateri joins us to share how her work with universal design for learning (UDL) helps remove barriers to learning for students. We re-examine our assumptions for how a classroom must run and find ways to provide options for each learner in our room. Later, we debate how useful metadata can be for supporting student motivation. A new study suggests we have a new way to measure self-efficacy in mathematics, but how is that different from what we already observe in the classroom? Finally, our Hot Off the Presses segment looks at how a new California law has banned suspensions for “willful defiance”. We drink Gran Sport, a porter from Coop Ale Works in Oklahoma City, OK.…
Research on growth mindset took the education world by storm in the 2000’s, prompting excitement and criticism. We read a large scale expansion of the growth mindset research that addresses some of the most common criticisms of past work and provides actionable guidance for classroom teachers. Later, we look at how different forms of feedback can affect students’ ability to solve math problems on subsequent tests. Timely formative feedback is essential for student growth. Finally, our Peer Review features a debrief of an email conversation with author Maria Garcia Alvarez. She addresses some of our questions from episode 029, and we find common ground together. We drink Morning Island Blends, from Transport Brewery in Shawnee, KS.…

Even young students can begin to understand abstract topics like quantum mechanics, if given the chance. Nahuel Acosta and Auriana Anderson join us to discuss their research related to delivering guest lessons on quantum mechanics in K-12 classrooms. We learn why teaching quantum mechanics concepts early is useful, what their research revealed about their students' growth, and how the experience affected them as pre-service teachers. Later, we look at the connections (or lack of connections) between math anxiety and students' approximate number system (ANS). Previous work has suggested that underdeveloped skills in approximation may eventually lead to higher math anxiety... but that might not hold up in new studies. Finally, our Hot Off the Presses segment looks at fresh news on how teachers fund their classrooms, and the role of crowdfunding services like Donors Choose.…
Summer is a time for reflection and renewal of purpose. We pause from our usual analysis of research and news to reflect on the past year. We'll pull back the curtain on how and why we've made some of our show decisions this past year. We'll also wrestle with what we hope to do better next year.
We must balance teaching content knowledge and professional skills. Will Dunn joins as a guest host on an episode dedicated to exploring how we pursue this balance throughout educational practice. We start with a discussion of how we should situate competencies in standards. Later, we read about the theory of embodied cognition. This theory emphasizes the importance of sensory experience, and we discuss how it impacts what students should see/feel/touch/smell/hear in our classroom. Finally, Will brings the conversation around to assessment practices. We wrestle with what common assessments should (and shouldn’t) do. We drink Shake, a chocolate porter from Boulder Beer Co in Boulder, CO.…
Retrieval of information is a demanding cognitive process, and teachers must find instructional approaches that improve later retrieval of learned material. We discuss how different student experiences lead to varied success in retrieval, and how it might affect our choices for the experiences we provide in our classroom. Later, we read an updated analysis of several major standardized tests in the United States. Errors in test administration and analysis led to some mistaken conclusions in the past, and leaves us with some important questions moving forward. The Peer Review spotlights a listener-shared article on how teachers can avoid misunderstanding student contributions in class, which will lead to improved metacognition. We drink Robust Porter, a coffee porter from Walnut River Brewing Company in El Dorado, KS.…
Open Access Educational Resources (OERs) are an emerging alternative to traditional textbooks, but how do new technologies compare to traditional options? Dr. Virginia Clinton joins us to discuss her recent papers “Savings without sacrifice: a case report on open-source textbook adoption” and “Reading from paper compared to screens: A systematic review and meta‐analysis”. Later, we read a study that examined what kinds of supports teachers in high-achieving classrooms provide for student metacognition. We find ways to get more out of our interactions with students by explicitly supporting how they think about their learning. We drink Rye on Rye, a barrel-aged rye ale from Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City, MO.…
Problems in education are often a complex mix of social, cognitive, and historical processes. Dr. Beth Holland, author of a recent Education Week piece we read, joins us to talk about education perspective. Later, Dr. Holland shares her expertise in studying school networks as we discuss how we can get more from our efforts in working with colleagues. The Peer Review brings us a paper from our listeners that was a favorite from 2018. We read a brief from 100Kin10 about improving representation of women in STEM. We drink Revenge of the Dragon, a nitro stout from Martin City Brewing Company in Kansas City, MO.…
The notion that “schools are designed like factories” is a pernicious myth in education. Jenn Binis, host of the podcast Ed History 101, joins us to discuss why this narrative is so prevalent and how the myth ends up hurting teachers. Later, we read a paper on how teachers build social capital in their building. Community cohesion is valuable, but too much can lead to some unintended consequences. Outtakes returns when a behind-the-scenes discussion takes a turn for personal reflection. We get thoughtful about how we use names professionally. We drink Death Before Disco, a porter from Left Hand Brewing Co. in Longmont, CO.…
Good teaching requires creativity, but how do we create a supportive environment for innovative teaching? We read an article lays out how an innovation commons allows people to innovate, and we discuss how we could build an innovation commons in education. Later, Youki Terada joins us for an extended Peer Review. Youki has published a round-up of educational research from 2018, and we compare notes on topics like the impact of classroom decoration and complications in the mindset literature. We drink Plaid Habit, a barrel-aged, double-mashed imperial brown ale from Boulivard Brewing Company in Kansas City, MO.…
Algorithms that effectively guide instruction is the dream of some people… but the reality of what instructional programs can do right now is something else entirely. Shane Lawrence guest hosts this month as we discuss a recent study on how computer-assisted instruction compared to human teachers. Later, we look at some urban planning research to find lessons on how we can create better learning spaces in our classrooms and our buildings. We consider the role student work should play, and what decorations do more harm than good. The Peer Review is a full mail bag, with questions submitted by pre-service teachers and authors who respond to last month’s discussion. We drink Big Wave, a golden ale from Kona Brewing Co in in the Hawaiian islands (and other places).…
Building culture has a tremendous impact on teacher satisfaction, student engagement, and the daily education experience. This month’s article shows us how teacher stress burdens students, enthusiasm is contagious, and more! Later, Laurence responds to a listener request with details on how he builds his classroom culture in the first two weeks of school. We also bring back the non-sequitur with a debate on a dramatic claim from Twitter. The Peer Review welcomes Matthew Moore, an educator with a flipped classroom. He shares how he leverages technology daily while still being mindful of the myth of the digital native. We drink Alchemy Coffee Stout, a seasonal stout from Martin City Brewing Company in Kansas City, MO.…
Teachers must build relationships with their students, despite the great breadth in their cultural backgrounds. Dolores Greenawalt, a professor at Caroll University in Wisconsin, joins us to discuss her recent writing on building positive relationships… even when it seems impossible. Later, we look at research data produced by the non-profit TNTP on the inequity of instructional practice. Their data shows huge differences in the instructional experience of students across race. We consider how TNTP’s recommendations for teaching practice could affect our classrooms. The Peer Review looks at a popular story on EdWeek about addressing student name pronunciation. What does our approach to unfamiliar student names say to those students? We drink Pumpkin Ale, a special release seasonal from Schlafly in St. Louis, MO.…
Technology seems to be everywhere, and it is tempting to imagine children grow up with expertise through familiarity. The research paints a vastly different picture, and we discuss one of the top read articles of 2017 that deconstructs the myth of the digital native and the costly habit of multitasking. Later, we take a look at some of the popular writing on socio-emotional development. It can be difficult to find writing on socio-emotional outcomes (or transferable job skills) that can translate to real classroom impact. We find a few articles, and a peer-reviewed piece, that can lead to implementation of new classroom strategies. The Peer Review considers a critique of last month’s discussion, and fields a question about the popular news story of a teacher being fired for her grading policy. We drink Iron Joe, an oaked Scottish ale with coffee from Rahr and Sons Brewing Company in Fort Worth, TX.…
All students should have access to challenging coursework that lets them grow in their areas of interest. Abby Whitbeck, the Executive Director of AP Strategy and Analytics for the College Board, joins us to talk about how they are using data to create new policies designed to improve representation of all students in Advanced Placement classes. Later, listeners have recommended Science/Fiction, a blog post from Carol Black. We look at her comments on learning styles, evidence-based instruction, and institutional racism. We have several disagreements with her argument, but find that our common ground is much more important. Note: A Peer Review was taped with a guest, but the recording was lost due to technology failure. We hope to have her return for a future segment. Disclosure: Michael maintains a relationship with the College Board as an AP Consultant. We drink Catherine III, a Russian imperial stout from the Wichita Brewing Co in Wichita, KS.…

Responsive teaching is is an exciting way to highlight student voice, but it comes with its own share of challenges and tensions. Caroline Herbster and Jacob Truett, from FSU Teach at Florida State University, join us to talk about their research with veteran teachers as they work to incorporate responsive practices. Later, we look to a British study on the effects of classroom consensus on socio-emotional outcomes for students. They find that using better measurement methods provides insight into the benefits of student consensus regarding their autonomy, goals, and evaluation. In the Peer Review, we share feedback on last month’s discussion provided by lead author Dr. Tor Odden. He provides a couple of more practitioner-focused articles that are easy reads with actionable suggestions.…
Multilingual learners are sitting in most classrooms today. How do we support ELL students’ learning in math, science and social studies while they navigate the language and cultural barriers of their emergent bilingualism? We look at some research on how taking responsibility for our own cultural and linguistic perspective as teachers can help. Later, we discuss another listener recommendation. Sensemaking is an important cognitive process that is subtly distinct from thinking, planning and answering. Understanding the unique process of sensemaking leads to ways we can support it with our students. Kelly Kluthe joins us for the Peer Review this month to share a beer from her favorite brewery while she shares her progress in implementing standards-based grading in two very different school districts. We drink Serenata Notturna, a barrel-aged sour American wild ale from Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project in Denver, CO.…
Standards-based grades are an exciting option for making grades more meaningful. We look at some recent writings on how to avoid some of the most common mistakes in our gradebooks, and then consider how standards-based grades can support some of the best practices. Later, we read some additional work suggested by one of our past authors. Her new work helps us connect our ideas on building student agency with professional development and collegial mentoring. How can we make our collaborations as effective as possible? Aaron Mathieu joins us for the Peer Review this month to tell us how he approaches his curriculum. We discussed threshold concepts in episode 009, but how could driving questions meet the same goal? We drink Dark Truth, an imperial stout from Boulevard Brewing Co. in Kansas City, MO.…
Students should drive their own learning. Drew Ising, another biology teacher from Baldwin High School, joins the PLC to discuss how the NGSS framework calls for letting our students take the lead in our classroom. We must guide students as they build understanding and skill, but how do we deal with misconceptions and incomplete understanding without removing their control over the process? Later, our listener community has submitted an article on departmental culture. Research suggests that the effects of bad employees are disproportionately large. How do we actively participate in constructing productive department and building culture? Some encouraging research out of New York shows that we can have big impact with attainable policy changes.…
Social controversy swirls in the public space. Societal tensions carry into the classroom and affect how students interact with each other and the material. Teachers must have the courage to address contentious topics in their classroom, the wisdom to know where their expertise lies, and the resolution to see their choices through to the end. We examine the writings of Dr. Diana Hess, an expert on the subject of controversy in the classroom, as we try to determine best practice for educators at each grade level. Later, we return to another article shared with us from the listener community. An Op-Ed considers the purpose of public education and what value it adds (or doesn’t add) to the nation. We debrief the author’s comments and then examine what the research actually says about the value of American education. Finally, we let the mic run to share with you an Outtake. We get to musing on the unique situation scientific controversy presents. How do you deal with topics that are politically controversial, but not scientifically controversial? We drink Nitro Merlin, a nitro-brewed milk stout from Firestone Walker Brewing Company in Paso Robles, CA.…
Online education makes learning opportunities available for millions of people who otherwise would have very limited access to teachers, peers, and classrooms. As educators continue to explore all the ways we can use digital learning environments to better reach kids, we must search for ways to make the digital space as responsive and personal as a real teacher in a physical classroom. This month’s paper looks at how providing social cues in a digital setting improves student engagement and understanding. Later we read a paper provided by the community in comments on episode 011 For Whom Does the Bell Toll. How do the demands of curricula that can scale across many classrooms conflict with a school’s ability to provide autonomy for great teachers? We’ll read commentary from a blog post and provide professional literature to guide our next steps. Finally, our peer review segment will include a phone call from a colleague in California higher education. We’ll reflect on his comments and attempt to provide some follow-up questions to which you can respond. We drink Victory at Sea, an imperial, vanilla and coffee porter from Ballast Point Brewing Company.…
Dr. Heidi Hallman, associate professor of English education at the University of Kansas and author of Secondary English Teacher Education in the United States: Responding to a Changing Context, joins our PLC this month. Patterns in teacher preparation have changed over the last couple decades. Patterns in how teachers are trained to use standards, leverage technology and support diverse learnings impact how those teachers will participate in their future departments. Later, we’ll look at how research into mastery learning has affected success in surgical training. Differences in practice and assessment method lead to differences in student growth. The nature of the practice problems, the schedule on which we practice and the rate at which we move on to new material all affect the progress of our students and the durability of their competency. We drink Surreal Skies, an imperial dark saison from Double Shift Brewing.…
Differentiation can be a contentious topic. Most educators want to reach all of their students, but the realities of how they can serve the breadth of needs in a classroom can lead to frustration. We consider the state of the national conversation by looking at a paper from Warwick (Contested Knowledge A Critical review of the Concept of Differentiation in Teaching and Learning). It argues that theoretical perspectives, policies, frameworks and the implementation of ideas relating to the technique have become conflated, because of the contested nature of the term. Later we return to math education by looking at a study using fMRI data to observe brain activity while solving math problems using different techniques (When math operations have visuospatial meanings versus purely symbolic definitions: Which solving stages and brain regions are affected?) Finally, we roll out the new Peer Review segment, in which we discuss your comments and feedback on previous episodes. We drink Skull Splitter, a strong ale from The Orkney Brewery in the United Kingdom.…
Shannon Ralph, the 2015 Kansas Teacher of the Year, joins our PLC this month. Data analysis is getting increasing attention in education. Data science can have considerable influence over education, especially in online or blended learning settings. How do teachers find actionability in the data while still meeting the tremendous demand of running a classroom five days a week? We’ll consider comments from the journal Nature (What data and analytics can and do say about effective learning) on the subject. Later the discussion turns to special education and how teachers’ perceptions of support impact their efficacy (If Science Teachers are Positively Inclined Toward Inclusive Education, Why Is It So Difficult?). We drink The Big Chew, and imperial stout from Dodge City Brewing.…

Lesson planning and sequencing seem to be ever present problems for teachers and coordinators. Which topics should go where? Who should have control over making those decisions? Curriculum research in an economics course provides some insight into how we should choose our priorities (Transforming the economics curriculum by integrating threshold concepts). As we search for how to create a system for making sequencing decisions we’ll add a second study (Looking for Coherence in Science Curriculum) that suggests not all those questions have a single clear answer. Later we’ll turn to the impact of SES on how students’ brains respond to different educational situations (The Emerging (Social) Neuroscience of SES). We drink Tough Kitty, a seasonal milk stout from Boulevard Brewing Co.…
Camden Hanzlick-Burton joins us from Washington to discuss the effects of high school students earning college credit before they graduate. Washington has Running Start, Kansas has dual enrollment, and many other states have similar programs. Some new and more detailed measures of Running Start outcomes (How Much of a “Running Start” Do Dual Enrollment Programs Provide Students?) indicate there may be some problems with the program and how it is impacting student achievement. Then we turn to elementary education to consider how teacher perceptions of technology shape tablet usage and impact on student learning (Exploring the use of educational technology in primary education: Teachers’ perception of mobile technology learning impacts and applications’ use in the classroom). We drink Oak Aged Yeti, a whiskey-infused imperial stout from Great Divide Brewing Co.…
Standardized testing is a major concern for teachers, administrators and parents. The problem is standardized tests don’t always mean what they are supposed to mean: 4 Things We Don’t Know About AP Tests (NPR). Misconceptions about how test scores relate to school quality are driving a growing separation between students of financial means and students from disadvantage. In the end, research indicates that separation is making everyone worse off The Urban-School Stigma (The Atlantic). Later, we consider some research on learning foreign language and how it informs student group formation: Comparing student-selected and teacher-assigned pairs on collaborative writing. We’re drinking one of our favorites, Dark Truth Stout from Boulevard Brewing.…

Education discussions often focus on how best to serve our students, but as the summer comes to an end we must turn our attention to the realities of our job. Many policies are implemented that are beyond our control and navigating the expectations of the many stakeholders in a student’s education can be exhausting. We’ll consider a number of examples of how external forces are shaping classrooms around the country: New Florida law lets any resident challenge what’s taught in science classes (Washington Post), Marion County reduces homework for elementary school students (WKMG Orlando) and The Silicon Valley Billionaires Remaking America's Schools (NY Times). We’ll then look at a piece of research that describes how athletic participation affects student athletes in and out of season (Do High School Athletes Get Better Grades During the Off-Season?) while drinking Black Jack Porter from Left Hand Brewing.…
The first group of episodes will establish a foundation of educational philosophy, from which we can move forward. Technology is having a tremendous impact on classrooms around the world. We’re considering what the effects of rapid proliferation of communication innovations may be on student learning. We’ll compare research into how new devices compare to older, more familiar methods with The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Paper versus Screens (Scientific American) and A study of print and computer-based reading to measure and compare rates of comprehension and retention. Our debate compares a focus on highest performers versus minimum thresholds of achievement for all. We’re drinking a Vanilla Porter from Breckenridge Brewing Co.…
Every teacher can only provide influence and options to students; they are the ones who will make choices for what they do and how they strive (or don’t) to do those things well. We will consider some of the most influential research on how humans make choices for themselves, and then more specifically in the context of education. We’ll consider marshmallows from the 70’s, the more recent elaboration this decade (Rational snacking: young children's decision-making on the marshmallow task is moderated by beliefs about environmental reliability) and even some new work whose ink is barely dry (Waiting for the Second Treat: Developing Culture-Specific Modes of Self-Regulation). We’ll then take a look at math education, how it contributes to problems with statistics and what we can do across the educational trajectory to address it (A Helping Hand during t-Testing Times). Our debate considers what Machiavelli might have to say about incentives for students and we drink STL Red, a red ale from O’Fallon Brewery in St. Louis.…
