A podcast in which we read a passage from Harry Potter, analyze it with an educator's perspective, and discuss how it can inform our teaching practices with an expert.
After a very resting hiatus filled with teaching middle school for a living, Matty and Kevin return to tackle classroom fears with the help of the ever-wonderful Rachel Taylor! http://thepedagogyofharrypotter.com thepedagogyofharrypotter@gmail.com
Every fifth episode, Matty and Kevin take a closer look at a Hogwarts Professor. In the first "Celebration" episode, we throw some love at Professor Sprout. Unlike the rest of our episodes, this format lends itself to being enjoyed more by people who have a basis of knowledge of the Harry Potter universe, but all are welcome!
Matty and Kevin explore the topic of celebration with the help of Val Weiss, utilizing a passage from book 6. We dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of how Slughorn celebrates his potions students.

Kevin and Matty, with the help of Kevin's mom Julia, explore high expectations and the effects of those expectations, through passages in Book 1, chapters 7 and 8. Not all Hogwarts teachers are alike!
