[PRIORITIES] What If we valued teachers like we value celebrities? tinyurl.com/poqokf8 #NationalTeachersDay

Mini whiteboards are not just about participation. They are about making student thinking visible. When teachers can see thinking, instruction gets better. This was a great conversation. @AmberBHaven @AndrewWatsonTTB @SoLInTheWild @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/maximizi…

One of the biggest traps in schools: Confusing adoption with implementation. The purchase feels like progress. The practice determines impact. This came up in a really interesting discussion. @mjanatovich @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/putting-…

Some worry that focusing on struggling students takes attention from high achievers. Others argue strong schools try to help every student reach their potential. This tension came up in the conversation. @dr_lreed @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/myths-an…

A student can complete an activity and still not learn the concept. If working memory is overloaded, the process never sticks. That distinction came up in a really interesting podcast discussion. @DylanWiliam @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/zooming-…

One thing many teachers quietly agree on: Structureand compassion are not opposites. You can care deeply about students and hold clear lines about behavior. The best schools do both. @mrzachg @jonahdavids1 @d4griffin3 @larryferlazzo @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/what-mak…

The conversation explored whether we may be underestimating how quickly AI is evolving. The challenge may not just be technology itself but how slowly our perceptions update. @CFKurban @hcrompton @lkolb @punyamishra @BAMRadioNetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/what-if-…

Mini whiteboards are simple, but when used intentionally they can reveal a great deal about student thinking in real time. That was a thoughtful part of the conversation and worth hearing. @AmberBHaven @AndrewWatsonTTB @bamradionetwork @SoLInTheWild bamradionetwork.com/track/maximizi…

The 90/90/90 schools challenged the idea that demographics determine outcomes. Their approach centered on high expectations, clear curriculum choices, feedback, and nonfiction writing. This episode reflects on those lessons. @AllysonApsey @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/fearless…

Something that stuck with me from this conversation: repeated practice is often blamed for math anxiety. But not knowing your facts can be even more frustrating for students. Listen as we discuss. @brian_poncy @rastokke @StamStam193 @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/unlockin…

Generative AI may not be destroying creativity. It may be exposing weaknesses in how we teach it. That idea is worth considering. Listen and see what you think. @CFKurban @hcrompton @lkolb @punyamishra @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/when-tea…

Retrieval practice strengthens memory, but it also strengthens confidence. That matters for students who often doubt themselves. This is unpacked thoughtfully. @smorrisey @effortfuleduktr @bamradionetwork @SciInTheMaking bamradionetwork.com/track/unlockin…

A new form of AI lets students put an entire course on autopilot with one prompt. It’s called Agentic AI. The implications are bigger than they seem. This discussion explores why. @CFKurban @hcrompton @lkolb @punyamishra @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/cheating…

Small, consistent practices matter more than big, unsustainable programs. The focus of this discussion stayed on realistic classroom strategies teachers can actually implement. This feels doable and realistic. @Ben_SpringerUT @Rlamourelle @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/helping-…

You’ve probably seen this. A student solves the problem correctly, but a week later the understanding is gone. Dylan talked about why that happens and what memory has to do with it. @DylanWiliam @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/zooming-…

What do 90/90/90 schools teach us about writing instruction? Clarity beats charisma. When expectations are clear, students rise. The full conversation adds important context. @AllysonApsey @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/fearless…

This conversation explores why fewer students are reading full books and why that matters far beyond English class. It is about attention, empathy, and deep thinking. @aldenejones @Doug_Lemov @DTWillingham @LisaPas220 @MattRKay @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/students… #Reading

Excellent listen on @BAMRadioNetwork - Five Steps to Fearless Instruction with @AllysonApsey and friends. bamradionetwork.com/track/fearless… #bebold

If schools create rules they cannot enforce, credibility suffers. But if they avoid hard decisions, learning suffers. That tension is at the heart of this conversation. @radiokeri @nationalparents @Rdene915 @Doug_Lemov @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/rethinki…

If schools are meant to prepare students for democracy, what does that require in today’s climate? The discussion wrestles with that honestly. Thoughtful conversation here. @rickwormeli2 @rpondiscio @mellyteaches @bamradionetwork @curriculumblog bamradionetwork.com/track/navigati…

Across elementary, middle, and high school, the same thing came up. When a class gets loud, survival mode kicks in. Hearing others talk through this was helpful. @dalorleon @mrs_frommert @EmilyAPaschall @Mr100Teacher @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/34-grade… #teachers
