Lasting Learning

In this episode, Dave Schmittou and Katelynn Giordano debate whether reading is overrated in schools. They demonstrate what it's like to agree to disagree and yet still have the utmost respect for each other. Based in part on their book, Poking the Bear (available September 23, 2022), the two engage in critical conversations with the hope of being an example of critical conversation and productive dialogue. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-schmittou/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/david-schmittou/support

In this episode, Dave tackles a practice that has picked up steam in virtually every school in America. When we don't actually read the research and only apply the Cliffs Notes version, we can get so much wrong. Labeling assignments formative or summative hurts kids. Using assessments formatively AND summatively is the answer., Feel free to share your thoughts with Dave at: dave@teachbetter.com @daveschmittou --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-schmittou/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/david-schmittou/support

In this episode, Dave Schmittou shares why he believes the argument against standardized testing is the wrong argument to be having. The accountability, sorting and selecting, the labeling, the judging are all tremendous problems attributed to standardized tests, but it's not the tests that are the problem. It's what we do with them.
