“Making a conscious and intentional effort to tap into your own personal power and being courageous” is the way today's guest defines “teaching like yourself.” I'm talking with Dr. Gravity Goldberg, whom you might remember from a 2019 interview I did, which ended up being one of the most downloaded Truth for Teachers episodes ever. It's Episode 171, called “Teach like yourself: Why YOU are the person your students need most.” Gravity has over 20 years of teaching experience, including positions as a science teacher, reading specialist, third grade teacher, special educator, literacy coach, staff developer, assistant professor, educational consultant, and yoga teacher. Gravity holds a B.A. and M.Ed. from Boston College and a doctorate from Teachers College. As the founding director of Gravity Goldberg, LLC she leads a team that offers side-by-side coaching and workshops that focus on teachers as decision-makers and student-led instruction.  Since our last conversation, Gravity — who has authored 9 books on teaching — has released a new title called Active Learning: 40 Teaching Methods to Engage Students in Every Class and Every Subject, which she co-wrote with the late Barry Gilmore.  We touch a bit on that book and what Gravity's working on now, but I thought of this conversation as a “Teach Like Yourself, Revisited”. I wanted to know how her thinking has changed around this topic, and the role authentic teaching plays now. Listen in as we discuss: How “teaching like yourself” (making a conscious and intentional effort to tap into your own personal power and being courageous) is more important now than ever What Gravity has learned about authentic teaching and learning since publishing her book on that topic Has she changed her mind on anything? What would she add? How teachers can integrate engagement strategies in a way that feels authentic and meaningful, rather than just tossing something into their instructional day because they think (or are told) they should The impact of authenticity on students, and specific, practical ways we can make sure students are able to be their true, authentic selves in the classroom Click here to read the transcript and participate in the discussion.

Length: 45 minutesSynopsis: This morning (5/12/23), in our Friday Q&A, we took up four questions: (1) What are some ways to foster an interactive learning environment in a class, especially on Zoom? (2) How does one balance the "proper" allocation of learning time with the consideration of "a person should only learn where his heart desires"? (3) What is the greatest benefit you've gotten as a teacher ASIDE from the teaching and learning itself?

Today is all about the memory, from short-term to long-term. Do you still remember your childhood phone number? What about your high school fight song? Or the street you lived on when you were eight years old? We might remember some of these things, but sometimes we forget what we read this morning or what we ate for breakfast two days ago. Don't worry, there are numerous proven ways to manipulate and develop our ability to remember! So, what small changes can you integrate to help students remember your content? In this episode, we'll start with the academic research on memory and how you can create a more successful environment so that you can apply cognitive theory in your courses. Next, we'll go over strategies that you can incorporate to improve student learning and memory, such as semantic encoding, cueing, peer teaching, and more. And lastly, we'll cover how microactivities are a great way to check in with students and move information closer to long-term memory.
