This week, we dive into the joys and pains of professional development (spoiler: no icebreakers this time), the magic of making fractions make sense, and why sketching during read-alouds might just be the engagement boost you’ve been looking for. Scott shares how his students are prepping for real-life interviews with actual hiring managers (and how not to answer the weakness question), while Fabian turns AI-generated podcasts into primary source analysis gold. Plus, we talk about summative assessments with choice boards that actually make sense. And of course, we wrap it all up with a game about arguing over the best utensil for mac and cheese in our ever-popular segment "Whatcha' been playin'...?"
