In our final episode, we offer parting thoughts to politicians, entrepreneurs, unions, administrators, and teachers. In the end, initiatives are pointless if they don’t improve student outcomes. Our goal shouldn’t be to “fix”education from the outside, but to improve it from the inside by restoring real local accountability.
Guest: James Seaman

#24 - A Letter to Those with Fingers in the Education Pie

This week on the podcast, we discuss how educators can regain the public trust by owning the “noise”around education. We talk about breaking out of the confines of the classroom, building advocates, and improving local accountability as ways to owning the conversation.
Guests: Melissa Brewer and Todd Theboald

#22 - Owning the Noise

Meaningful dialogue about learning doesn’t happen around a single score. This week we explore how real-time tracking of student progress is changing the conversations between teachers, parents, and administrators, and how these informed discussions are impacting student growth.

#21 - Conversations with Parents and Administrators

Trenton and guests delve into the role of assessment in education today. Join us for a discussion on the immorality of high-stakes testing, the type of assessment that really fuels student growth, and the one question that we should be asking about every assessment: Does it directly benefit the student who takes it?
Guests: Robin Daugherty and Cindi Dunford

#20 - On Measures and Reporting

What do grades actually mean? In a culture where grades can be wildly inflated, it has become a game both for students and teachers rather than a representation of what students actually know and don’t know. Join us for a discussion on how teachers can take back the conversation on grading and criteria.
Guests: James Seaman and Carly Silva
