Today is all about the science of teaching and how educators can apply continued education in their classrooms. Our guest Dr. Ian Kelleher explains his role as the CTTL Research Chair and makes the case for further professionalizing the practice of teaching, as has been done with so many other fields. In this episode, we discuss why creating assessments only gets harder and the importance of mixing the science of learning with your subject knowledge to create your own "special sauce" as an educator.

Listen to this episode to learn the early steps along the path of continued educator learning, why every school needs a head of research, and how to harness collective teacher efficacy.

Today's interview might have the catchiest title in our most recent publication. Sara McAuliffe is an English teacher, Co-Leader of New Employee Mentoring Program, and Professional Growth Pathway Co-Leader at St. Andrew's. In this episode, we talk about the personal nature of thinking about your craft and the constant nature of growth and improvement of the teaching profession.

Listen to this episode to learn how teaching styles can change over time, how teachers continue to learn and grow, and how teachers can best convey the purpose of their assignments to their students.

“I'm thinking about what is it that I prune so that I could do something else better or do something with better student success -- and one of those things is the type of feedback that I give.” - Sara McAuliffe

Today's guest took one of the most unique pathways to education. Brittany Shields was a police officer before she worked at St. Andrews as a science teacher. In this episode, Brittany and I discuss why she left police work for teaching and the process she underwent to design her own forensics course. We also talk about the importance of understanding the brain and the lessons she learned as a police officer that carry over into her work as an educator.

Listen in to learn one of the biggest mindset shifts for new teachers and how teachers can find their superpower.
