November 21, 2019 Elevating Equity and Justice with Robert Kim
How do we connect our teaching to the times we live in today?
In his new book, Elevating Equity and Justice, education policy expert and former civil rights lawyer, Robert Kim, takes us on a deep dive into ten cases of great historical impact, providing background and information on each as well as an explanation as to why it’s important to know them.
Bob’s writing brings these court cases to life without overwhelming us with “legalese” and dos and don’ts. Bob recently sat down to talk about why this book is so important for teachers and what in his background led him to write it.

November 07, 2019 Revisiting Narrative Writing with Liz Prather
When you hear the word narrative, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, you’re probably thinking of words like “novel”, “book”, or “story.” But narrative plays a bigger role in how we communicate than we give it credit for.
Today on the podcast we’re speaking with Liz Prather, author of Story Matters: Teaching Teens to Use the Tools of Narrative to Argue and Inform. Liz believes that narrative has for too long been kept separate from nonfiction writing, but has much to offer. “Stories are the cornerstone of all human communication,” she argues, “and for a student who sets our to write a compelling argument or an interesting informational piece, that foundation can be narrative.”
