In this episode, Dr. Catlin Tucker discusses her new book, Elevating Educational Design with AI, co-authored with Dr. Katie Novak. Tucker emphasizes the importance of using AI as a design thought partner rather than a replacement for human teaching. She outlines a framework for integrating AI into lesson planning, focusing on backward design, universal design, and personalized learning. Tucker highlights the benefits of AI in creating flexible pathways, designing rubrics, and fostering resilience in students. She stresses the need for educators to craft effective AI prompts, evaluate AI-generated content, and maintain human connection in the classroom. Tucker also recommends tools like School AI and NotebookLM for enhancing educational design. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

In this episode, Dr. Katie Novak joins us to talk about the new book she has co-written with Dr. Catlin Tucker, Shift Writing Into the Classroom With UDL and Blended Learning. They believe that we need to rethink how we approach writing in school. Dr. Novak, a former writing teacher herself, explains that while teachers are working harder than ever, what we are currently doing is not working. Fewer than 30% of students are meeting grade-level writing proficiency on standardized assessments, and teachers are burning themselves out by bringing large numbers of papers home to grade. On top of this, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has made cheating easier, threatening to undercut the integrity of student writing. The solution to these challenges, this book argues, is to shift the writing process into the classroom. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

Monte Syrie challenges the assumption that students won't do the work if teachers won't grade it. Is that really true? I share some examples that speak to the contrary. Lynnette Earle encourages teachers to do the hard work and take risks, whether we're making changes to our assessment practice or trying new things in the classroom. Model the learning. Melissa D (Dean of Math) says that the feedback that we give our students should make them feel known. Wow. Such a great challenge to apply to the feedback that we share with students.

Episode 45: Designing Schools for Blended LearningWhen you think of the term “blended learning,” do you think of a hybrid or remote learning plan, perhaps in a format that became familiar during the COVID pandemic? That's the impression many educators and school leaders have of blended learning, but as Catlin Tucker's work demonstrates, blended learning is so much more than just splitting education into “onscreen” and “in person.” It may, in fact, be the solution we need to prepare our classrooms for the future.Guest: Dr. Catlin TuckerResources, Transcript, and Expanded Show NotesIn This Episode:“Reserve that teacher-led instructional time for small differentiated group experiences, where we can be much more targeted and thoughtful about the vocabulary we use, the text we choose, the problems and prompts we present, the scaffolds we supply…If teachers are still trapped at the front of the room, feeling like my job is to transfer information, there's no time and space to really position students at the center, give them more responsibility and let them engage in the messy work that is learning.” (13:32)“ I try to put myself now as an adult in the seat of some of these students, where they spend seven hours a day at school, and they don't get to make a single decision about how they learn, what they learn, what they create to demonstrate their learning. Like that is not a space that most kids wanna be in. And it shouldn't surprise anybody that a huge, I wanna say it's over 70% of students were, report like negative feelings with school. And it's things like anxiety, being tired and bored, like that's where we're keeping them all day. It's heartbreaking.” (30:50)“I want teachers to rediscover, if they're not feeling it right now, their joy in this work, and there's so many, it's a, it's a challenging profession. It is complex and multifaceted. And for me, I want teachers to realize that now that we have literally limitless access to information and resources in our classroom, that we are allowed to reimagine our role.” (41:55)Related Episodes: 40, 31, 28, 26, 23, 20, 3, Bonus Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Katie Novak, an internationally renowned education consultant, author, adjunct professor, former teacher, and former assistant superintendent of schools. We discuss the topic of her newest book, cowritten with Dr. Catlin Tucker, The Shift to Student-Led: Reimagining Classroom Workflows with UDL and Blended Learning. This work explores the unique intersection of Universal Design for Learning and blended learning as a way to design learning that is both student-centered and student-led.Dr. Novak says, “My work is predominantly focused on deconstructing one-size-fits-all models for teaching and learning, and I do that through the lens of trying to universally design instruction.” She adds, “Universal design is essentially how we recognize barriers to one-size-fits-all and then provide pathways, so everyone has what they need to be successful.” Throughout our conversation, Dr. Novak details how these two approaches work together. She says, “Blended learning allows you to operationalize the research base as universal design because it gives us a frame for how we can provide all of these different pathways but also have opportunities to work with small groups of students—to help them self-assess, to determine if the choices they're making are in fact serving them as learners.” Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

Even though many of us are back in physical classrooms this year, blended learning offers a way to weave together online and offline learning to position students at the center of the learning process. Instead of reverting back to a teacher-led, whole-group instructional model, blended learning can free us from the front of the room and allow us to work directly with individual and small groups of learners. In this episode, Catlin Tucker shares four specific models teachers can follow for structuring blended learning lessons and units to suit different purposes. ------------------- Thanks to CoderZ and Today by Studyo for sponsoring this episode (affiliate link). ---------------- Check out Catlin's book, The Complete Guide to Blended Learning.

On episode 25 of The Balance, Dr. Catlin Tucker talks with Kareem Farah about maximizing teacher time, boosting student engagement, and reimagining workflows through his Modern Classrooms Project. About Modern Classrooms Project Modern Classrooms Project Free Course
Does blended learning make teaching easier or harder? Catlin Tucker has been a thought leader in the world of blended learning. But many educators' Tucker would interact with perceived blended learning as more work for teachers. "I couldn't understand why that was," says Tucker. So, as Tucker started visiting classrooms, she realized teachers were still doing the lion's share of the work in the classrooms even when they were trying a blended classroom. Tucker noticed that workflows were staying traditional, placing a heavy burden on the teachers. For example, she says the teachers would set the assignment 150 kids complete it teacher collects those assignments teacher processes the work teacher inputs the data in the grade book the teacher passes the lessons back to the students. Tucker says she also observed a lot of teachers talking and students listening. But she feels there should be much more balance between the two. Blended Learning Requires a Mind-Shift Tucker goes about blended learning from a different angle. She says it requires a mind-shift around how teachers view their role and their students' role in education. "What responsibilities do we each own, and which responsibilities do we each share?" Tucker says teachers should feel more like they are partnering with students. She suggests using models in dynamic ways to try and create time and space in the classroom. Hopefully, this will allow teachers to move some of that work they traditionally would take home back into the school. "I wasn't in the front of the room. I was sitting side by side with them, giving feedback as they worked." Tucker also suggests frequent conferencing with students about their goals and pulling them into a side-by-side assessment conversation where the teacher grades the work as the student sits next to them. Tucker highlights the topics in her new book "Balance With Blended Learning." In it, she talks about the value of forming a partnership with kids and goes in-depth on metacognitive skill-building and real-time feedback. Tools that allow teachers to have more balance inside and outside the classroom. "I THINK IF WE DON'T START TO REALLY SHINE SOME LIGHT ON HOW WE CAN APPROACH THIS JOB IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO LOSE EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE FROM THIS PROFESSION," More of a coach, less of a fountain of knowledge Catlin Tucker Tucker says that if teachers are moving into a blended space, hopefully, they're starting to look at their role as more of a coach and less of a purveyor of information. She suggests letting go of the traditional roles and not leading the class by talking and transferring information. Instead, Tucker says teachers need to use that time to give feedback and work with students one-on-one. It's all about balance. Tucker is concerned about the number of great teachers that quit because of the toll teaching can take on a person. "I think if we don't start to really shine some light on how we can approach this job in a sustainable way, we are going to continue to lose exceptional people from this profession," says Tucker. Her goal is to help educators find ways to use technology in moderation. "How do we leverage technology to shift students to the center of learning?" For Tucker, the goal is to have students ask questions and investigate topics. She believes that the more we can shift students to the center of learning, the less pressure there will be on the teacher at the center of learning.
