This week I am joined by Michael Zwaagstra to discuss his John Catt book - A Sage on the Stage Our discussion Could you start by giving us a brief history of your career to this point? Chapter one- foolish educational fads is a fantastic read and one which will chime with many of our listeners , Could you outline some of those educational fads and gimmicks and tell us why education fads do teachers and kids no favours ? • A big question in chapter 2 raising academic standards- why should schools focus on the essentials and what are the essentials? •In chapter 3 you outlined that tests are good for students could you tell us more? •Could you tell us why content knowledge is important ? (perhaps taking in the explanation of Lord of the rings from the start of the chapter and how Tolkien showed a tremendous amount of creativity and even more importantly content knowledge in his Lord of the rings trilogy) •Why does discovery maths not add up? •My favourite chapter of the book is Chapter 7- improving life for teachers and students. There is some fantastic common-sense advice in this chapter, firstly why is it time to call time on cell phones in school? •Will longer school days make students smarter? •Does every student deserve a personalised learning experience that matches his or her unique learning style? •Are distractions sometimes good for learning? •Is it valuable sometimes instead of bringing in a new initiative to simply stop doing things that aren't working as you put it improve teacher working conditions by dumping bad ideas? •Are gadgets in classrooms just gimmicks and should technology drive education reform? •Could you tell us where listeners could find out more about you and A Sage on the stage?

  In this episode, Therese Markow and Michael Zwaagstra discuss trends in education. Michael Zwaagstra has taught in elementary grades and high school, and has earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in education.  He discusses the differences between "traditional" and "reform" approaches to education.  He is a strong advocate of teaching content, especially in the earlier grades, and feels strongly, based upon his extensive experience, that many aspects of "reform" approaches to education produce students who are less capable in many aspects.  He is a strong advocate of prospective teachers first majoring in an academic subject and feels that many courses offered in colleges of education are weak and do not prepare teachers well. You can read more of his reflections and experiences in his newest book, A Sage on the Stage.    Key Takeaways: Students need to learn content, especially in the earlier grades, so they can have a store of information with which to engage in more inquiry-based education in high school and college. The evidence does not support the claims that reform-based methods produce better prepared students.   "If we’re not intentional about helping students, starting in Grade 1, acquire a solid knowledge base and build that up sequentially, they’re going to struggle in their reading comprehension." —  Michael Zwaagstra   Connect with Michael Zwaagstra: Twitter: @ZwaagstraM Website: MichaelZwaagstra.com Book: A Sage on the Stage: Common Sense Reflections on Teaching and Learning   Book Recommendations: Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms by Diane Ravitch Ed School Follies: The Miseducation of America’s Teachers by Rita Kramer      Connect with Therese: Website:   www.criticallyspeaking.net Twitter: @CritiSpeak Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net     Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
