Cream of the Crop in Education Podcasts
I am a professional piano teacher and I have listened to many podcasts across a wide range of fields, including education. I found Education Bookcast because I wanted to learn more about Direct Instruction and Siegfried Engelmann, and this was one of the few resources that covered this topic. The two episodes on DI and Engelmann were fabulous, and then I dug in more with his episodes on John Wooden, Marva Collins, and Jaime Escalante. These episodes have given me so much food for thought as a teacher and has hugely broadened my perspective. I think that Stas’s comments along the way are incredibly insightful, because he interacts with the material in a way that actually anticipates thoughts and responses I myself would have as well. For example, he compares Marva Collins’ generous usage of praise with research on mindset by Carol Dweck for instance, and gives a fascinating discussion of how those two contrasting ideas fit together. Alternately, he often emphasizes things that are completely outside of what I typically think about, like the necessity of exercising and projecting authority and power as a teacher, and this gives me a lot to consider. Thanks for your work Stas, I am grateful to have your very rich reflections on teaching and education and I feel that I have benefited a lot as a piano teacher from them.
