Exposes some of the cracks in education

“I used to really like this podcast, because it gave me good insight into k12 best practices : I’m a college professor who often teaches first years, so I’m always interested in where they are coming from. Some of these episodes have been useful in my own pedagogy.
But lately I’ve become kind of worried about “the blind leading the blind” in the episodes. There are guests who speak confidently about psychology… without being certified psychologists, or even having an understanding of psychological principles (or even statistics). Most thinkers in education make their money by selling pd training and books, and there’s no peer-review process for those things. If it sounds “right,” then it flies. And if you have something that matches your own “intuition” (or confirmation bias), or is a little new, you’ll buy into it.
This is an endemic problem in education as a field and even more as a practice. I’m thinking of “learning styles” of thirty years ago, and “whole language” reading instruction, which we are just now understanding the devastating effects of. The episode that shook me was the one on trauma-informed teaching that positions people as victims who must be pitied, rather than heroes of their own stories. None of the strategies were informed by best CBT practices and might have been damaging to all involved.
When you need listeners, you’ll tap into your perception of the group’s expectations and engage in groupthink, while also seeking novelty. Something more extreme or that asks for more from administration (and instructors).
I might still skim the archives, but I’m unsubscribing.”

“I’ve listened to about five episodes now, so I’m a new listener but what I’ve learned so far has been fantastic! I appreciate the resources and easy to implement strategies and ideas, and the fact that it’s some PD I can do while driving to the grocery fits into the busy-teacher life. Thanks...”Read full review »
