Whether you're a student navigating college life or an educator supporting them, this episode delivers practical, science-backed strategies for managing emotions, staying grounded, and finding meaning in the messy middle of it all.

    Teaching Like a Psychologist: Drs. Dave Myers & June Gruber Discuss Strategies To Foster Wellness and Belonging
    Nov 5 2025
    What if the secret to better teaching isn't about what you teach, but how students experience your classroom? Psychology legends Dr. David Myers and Dr. June Gruber have spent decades studying what actually makes information stick and it's not more PowerPoint slides. In this episode, they reveal why removing 18 chairs from your classroom, scheduling 5-minute coffee chats, and teaching students about "micro-friendships" might be the most powerful teaching strategies you'll ever use. From awe walks to anxiety management, from handling shelter-in-place alerts to designing spaces for hearing loss, this isn't your typical pedagogy discussion. The duo discuss some intentional moments that transform students from passive listeners into engaged humans who actually retain what you taught them.

  • The EDU-niverse: Meet the Team Behind the Mic

    The EDU-niverse: Meet the Team Behind the Mic
    Sep 10 2025

    You've heard the stories. You've heard the tips. You've heard the bell ding (you know the one). But in all our episodes of The What & Who of EDU, we somehow forgot to introduce... us.

    In this special behind-the-scenes episode, we're flipping the mic to spotlight the trio that brings the EDU-niverse to life:

    Marisa Bluestone, Host and Resident "Why?" Asker
    LaShawn Springer, Host and Champion of Inclusive Pedagogy
    Derek Lambke, Producer and French New Wave film fan (we had to)

    Together, we talk about what brought us to education, how podcasting reshaped our approach to storytelling, and what we've learned from the incredible educators we've featured. Expect laughter, reflection, shoutouts to students and librarians, and maybe a Gator reference or two. Plus, we share our dream segments (confession cams? classrooms in the field? students on the mic?) and what we're hoping to explore in future episodes.

    🔍 In This Episode:

    • What podcasting taught us about storytelling (and why it's not just about what you say)
    • Moments from past guests that made us think differently about education
    • The real reason we believe this show matters (hint: it's not about downloads)
    • Our favorite educator tips, and the ones we still think about
    • The dream segments we may yet one day try

    Have an idea for a dream segment? Want to hear from students or share your own classroom wisdom? Email TheWhatAndWhoOfEDU@macmillan.com and you might just hear yourself in a future episode.

  • EP 15: 10 Ways to Create Accessible Classrooms that Lower the Barriers (Not the Standards)

    EP 15: 10 Ways to Create Accessible Classrooms that Lower the Barriers (Not the Standards)
    Aug 27 2025

    🎧 In this episode of The What and Who of EDU, we're talking accessibility. Not just ramps and captions (though those matter), but the small shifts, the flexible paths, and the "you can sit with us" energy that make learning possible for every student. We're counting down 10 ways real instructors are making their classrooms more accessible: strategies you can borrow, adapt, and make your own.

    Brought to you by Macmillan Learning

    🎓 Key Takeaways

    Accessibility is just good teaching.
    You don't have to know everything. Just who to call.
    Design for variability, not exceptions
    Lose the secret handshake & make connections easy
    Say it like you mean everyone
    Flexibility ≠ lower standards
    Lets students show you what they know -- their way
    Light the way
    Why details are the design
    Connect students to the right resources
