New Teacher Talk with Pablo and Wes

In this episode, we discuss planning for your future - initially, in terms of income potential, but mainly, we engage in a discussion of the many different types of roles you find in a school or district setting and a little bit about each of these roles to stimulate your thinking about where you might like to see yourself in the future.  We kick it off by quickly tracing our unique paths through the education field and the various roles we've held.

In this episode we talk about homework! In a new “go deep” format episode, we explore the impact and significance of homework - Is it effective? Is it over-used? First we explore our memories of homework as students, then our experiences as teachers, before introducing an outside source, in this episode, it’s ASCD’s article which quotes the The National PTA and the National Education Association “10-minute rule.” http://www.ascd.org/publications/educ... Also, check out John Hattie’s research on homework “effect size” here: https://visible-learning.org/2014/09/... Our “tool” for the week focuses on how to use homework to connect students to feedback from the teacher and to promote reflection. We share our 4 guidelines for homework: Inappropriate homework produces little or no benefit. Err on the side of giving less. Use little doses. 5-10 minutes is as good as 1-2 hours. Differentiate your homework. Make it optional or give choices. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/new-teacher-talk-with-pablo-and-wes/support
