Welcome to the first episode of Strategy Spotlight: The Podcast. In this launch conversation, Marcus James and I unpack why this show exists: to highlight high-impact teaching protocols rooted in John Hattie’s research. We explore what Hattie’s Visible Learning studies reveal about what really works in education, why protocols matter, and how teachers can make every minute count in the classroom.

Whether you’re new to the idea of instructional protocols or looking to sharpen your teaching toolkit, this episode lays the foundation for everything to come.
