Waiting for him to do a classroom one.

What role does “feedback” play in your classroom or your school? How should we give and receive feedback? How much, and how often, and using what instrument? How fearlessly candid should we be? And, most importantly, how can we help each person thrive and excel?

First off, we're pleased to announce our partnership with StrongbadMusic, Vandaley Industries, and Hawgit Edu: three real and totally not made up game-changers in the world of music, pop-culture, and education. You should check them out.

In this week's episode, we also have a few HUGE announcements we'd like to make to the world*: 

• 'Teachers'' are called that because they teach students.
• The Harry Potter books get their name from their main character whose name is ''Harry Potter''. 
• Tom Waits is the name of a musician, not a patient man named Tom.
• There are more people alive now than when there were fewer people.
• The Edge is not actually an edge, but a three-dimensional human being.
• The page number in a book denotes the number of the page you are on.
• Comic book vigilante batman gets his name from being a man who dresses like a bat.
• Taylor Swift is the name of a pop-singer, not a comment on the speed of a girl named Taylor.
• ''Ford'' is named after the man who founded the company, who was also named ''Ford''
• ''The Expendables 3'' gets its name from being the 3rd ''Expendables'' film.  

*most of these are taken from a buzzFeed article, but they're still HUGE announcements, don't you think?

You won't BELIEVE what happens at time-stamp 48:15:16!  

We're hoping you haven't forgotten what day today is...

Jessica Williams back to help us throw a Partial Credit style baby shower for Little Baby Piercey who may even be here by the time you listen to this episode! You guys ready to name Donnie’s baby?

How should innovative and experienced teachers incorporate district mandated/scripted curriculum?

We are going to play a game where I give each of you a question about something baby related. If you get it right you get a point using the Piercey House Cup scoring rules. Winner gets to name Donnie’s baby.
