Ep.160Does Teacher Talk Really Matter? What the Evidence Shows with Dr. Yan JiangIn this episode of The Literacy View, we sit down with Dr. Yan Jiang, Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood and coauthor of a major meta analysis published in Review of Educational Research.Her study analyzes more than one hundred studies examining the relationship between teachers' language practices and children's language development from preschool through third grade.There is growing conversation in education about the role of classroom talk, oral language, and teacher interactions in shaping language development. But what does the research actually show?We take a close look at how researchers approached this question, how teacher language practices are studied across classrooms, and what patterns begin to emerge when the evidence from many studies is examined together.ValueIn this episode we explore• What researchers mean when they talk about teacher language practices• How studies attempt to capture and measure classroom talk• Why the distinction between quantity of talk and quality of interactions matters in research• How large scale meta analyses combine findings across many different studies• What educators should think about when hearing claims about language rich classrooms and oral language instructionThis conversation helps unpack how research in this area is conducted and why interpreting findings about classroom language requires nuance.PromiseIn this episode we promise to take you inside a new meta analysis that examines more than one hundred studies on teacher language practices and children's language development.Together we unpack how researchers study classroom talk, what they actually mean when they talk about teacher language practices, and why measuring something as complex as classroom interaction is not as straightforward as it might sound.You will walk away with a clearer understanding of how this research was conducted, what kinds of teacher language practices researchers are examining, and how educators should think about claims connecting teacher talk and student language growth..Send a text Support the showDonate to support the show so it stays real, research-aligned, and independent.

In this Teacher Talk episode, Linda and Julie tackle what to do when your systems are solid, behavior is under control, but student engagement feels flat. (Spoiler Alert...You don't have to choose between structure and engagement!) "My classroom management has been going well lately, but it almost feels so structured that it's boring. I don't want to loosen up on standards because I know it will escalate into poor behavior—but do you have ideas for how to engage students in class without it getting out of control?" 00:00 Balancing Structure and Engagement in the Classroom 06:23 Final Thoughts and Encouragement for Teachers Resources/Links Mentioned: Classroom Management 101: https://teach4theheart.com/cm101
LEARN MORE at http://teach4theheart.com/374 Do you ever feel like your students only listen when you raise your voice—and you _don't_ want to be that teacher? In this Teacher Talk episode, Linda and Ashly dive deep into what to do when you're a new, soft-spoken or non-authoritative teacher who still wants a calm, respectful classroom. You CAN gain student respect, keep lessons on track, and manage attention-seeking behaviors—without becoming louder, harsher, or someone you're not! "I am a first year Spanish teacher. I am not an authoritative personality and I do not have a loud voice. How can I get my class to respect me without raising my voice. They get derailed and like to say things to get attention from their peers while I am teaching. I have a student who is ADD and will not stop taking the bait from students around him so he is constantly turning around and talking to people around him, despite constant redirecting and correction." 00:00 Introduction to Classroom Management Challenges 02:50 Understanding Teaching Personalities and Authority 06:54 Strategies for Managing Student Behavior 09:32 Final Thoughts and Resources for Teachers Resources/Links Mentioned: Warning Systems Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg5NIP58zs 10 Commandments Episode: https://teach4theheart.com/373 10 Commandments Playlist: https://teach4theheart.com/playlist CM101: https://teach4theheart.com/cm101

LEARN MORE at http://teach4theheart.com/ In this Teacher Talk episode, Linda and Julie dive into a new teacher's concern and what it really looks like to grow as an educator without slipping into perfectionism or letting nonstop feedback wear you down. If you've ever felt mentally drained by constant observations, overwhelmed by improvement goals, or discouraged by your own expectations, this conversation will give you practical strategies and Christ-centered encouragement for when you feel inadequate. "How can a new teacher take care of their mental health while constantly reflecting and trying to improve, and getting feedback, while not taking it personal, and focusing on perfection? I get at least two formal observations a month and informal feedback at least once or twice a week. I find that focusing on areas of growth are causing me to feel inadequate, and are making me struggle with mental health. I am of the mindset that what you dwell on grows, and magnifies." 00:00 Navigating Teacher Evaluations and Mental Health 02:51 Finding Identity Beyond Performance 06:44 Embracing Weakness and Relying on God Resources/Links Mentioned: Hope Renewed: https://teach4theheart.com/hope Teacher Talk Question Submissions: https://www.teach4theheart.com/teachertalk Hope Renewed: https://teach4theheart.com/renew
