Découvrez des podcasts à écouter absolument : Cult of Pedagogy
A podcast recommendation for those who teach
Il ya quelques semaines, BOLD Blog explored the idea of a future without schools à travers flash Forward podcasts épisode on the topic. But while we still have schools, at least for the foreseeable future, how about a podcast for those who teach?
Culte de la pédagogie is a podcast as well as a blog created and run by Jennifer Gonzalez. A middle school language arts instructor for many years, she later became a teacher of teachers. And ultimately, her passion for teaching led to Culte de la pédagogie where she discusses all sorts of topics related to teaching. The podcast has covered topics like teaching without grades, delaying a child’s entrance to kindergarten et how schools have underserved black girls.
Dans une épisode récent, Gonzalez discusses the concept of “Genius Hour” with educator A.J. Juliani. Genius Hour is a dedicated time of the week where students get to study whatever they want, with the goal of creating and presenting some sort of project about it over the course of weeks. As Juliani explains, once students leave high school, they have to make all sorts of decisions on their own. Why not prepare them for that beforehand? Gonzalez and Juliani talk about how to keep it structured and not chaotic, how to schedule it, and how to get parents on board.
Culte de la pédagogie keeps its episodes interesting by bringing on educators, students, school administrators, as well as parents, incorporating all relevant viewpoints. Give it a listen!
