In this "Best Of" episode, we replay my conversation with veteran K–12 educator, speaker, and author Patrice Bain.
As a finalist for Illinois Teacher of the Year and a Fulbright Scholar in Europe, she has been featured in national and international podcasts, webinars, presentations, and popular press, including NOVA and Scientific American.
Patrice is co-author of Powerful Teaching and author of A Parent’s Guide to Powerful Teaching, which reinforces the “Teaching Triangle'' of student, parent, and teacher collaboration.
We talked about:
- The traditional state of the Teaching Triangle
- How kids learn
- Why it’s important for parents to know how kids learn
- The “power tools”: retrieval, spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition
- Daniel Willingham: “Children are more alike than different in terms of how they think and learn.”
- What are some of the other critical things for educators to communicate to parents?
- How educators can become better at creating parent engagement
- Book recommendation: Initium by Emma Turner
