  • 239: 5 Ways Parents, Teachers and Students Can Work Together - The College Prep Podcast
    Have you ever noticed that adults often have higher expectations for students than for themselves?
    Gretchen shares her latest thinking about the ways in which both teachers and parents have made the teens in their lives the “identified patient”, and how this can negatively effect students.
    In this episode Gretchen reflects on:

    * The false idea that students are wrong or bad because they struggle with procrastination, lack of motivation, or not doing their best work,
    * The important truth that adults struggle with the same issues, but have a harder time admitting it
    * 5 ways that students, parents and teachers can work together to help each other learn: Get humble, get honest, get curious, get empathetic, and get collaborative.

    Tune in for a slightly controversial take on how to level the playing field between adults and kids.

  • 238: Colleges Love Good Grammar! - The College Prep Podcast

    Too many students have poor grammar, and it weakens their writing. This has become increasingly obvious to Megan as she works with students on writing their college admissions essays.
    If you are looking for skills to build or strengthen with students grades 6-12, consider following some of Megan’s advice to improve students’ grammar and usage.
    In this episode, Megan breaks down:

    * three reasons why it’s important to improve grammar sooner rather than later (hint: one of them is the SAT and ACT tests)
    * the importance of not just acquiring knowledge of grammar rules, but of ALSO practicing this knowledge so that it becomes fluent, and
    * some tools and tips for how to get this practice regularly.

    Megan also recommends the following resources:

    * Khan Academy’s writing practice,
    * Grammar Girl’s The Ultimate Writing Guide for Students, and
    * The Elements of Style.
