Early Literacy Magic in Barberton Preschool
April 26, 2024 14:09 - 13 minutes - 24.6 MBToday we’re interviewing Barberton Preschool (BPS) and learning how they make magic happen with our youngest readers. As one of only two districts in our region taking part in Ohio’s Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant, BPS was able to identify what was working well: collaboration, culture, leadership and then use the CLSD resources to build upon those areas while also strengthening areas that may not have been as strong. BPS has been able to build their understanding of structur...

Early Childhood Co-Teaching Magic in Barberton City
January 26, 2024 13:00 - 31 minutes - 58.5 MBCo-teaching in a preschool setting is not a common configuration, but one that is extremely powerful when attempting to meet the needs of a classroom that spans many ages and developmental needs.

Today, w...

Season 9 Trailer - The Co-Teaching Chronicles
November 29, 2023 18:00 - 2 minutes - 4.13 MBWelcome to the 9th season of the 8 with 8 podcast: The Co-Teaching Chronicles. The big idea behind co-teaching is that when general and special educators pair up to co-plan, co-instruct, and co-assess their students, it should provide instruction and support that is substantively better than what each teacher could provide on their own. But, like many collaborative endeavors, co-teaching is HARD to do well. So SST8 has been working like crazy over the last two years to create a range of supp...

Could You Have Dispro Lurking in the Basement of Your Profile?
February 17, 2023 13:00 - 34 minutes - 32.2 MB“Dispro” is a term familiar to seasoned special education leaders, but may not ring a bell for other educators. It refers to disproportionality, or significant disparities in our data regarding how we identify, serve, and discipline student with disabilities from various racial and ethnic groups. From the perspective of the Special Education Profile, it would seem pretty clear - you either have this phenomenon happening, or you don’t. But as we tackle this week’s essential question - Are ch...

What practices did they consider adding to the book, but didn't make the cut? Their combined wealth of experience makes...

May 27, 2022 12:00 - 21 minutes - 40.3 MBAs we close in on the end of this podcast season, and the end of another busy school year, we’re continuing to challenge ourselves with the question: Why are we still doing that?

Yet, you can also go back to the 1970s, when we were concerned about our global competitiveness, and find there were concerns that there was too little homework. How much homework is too much? Not enough? Who should get it? What value does homework add? These are just a few of the questions that have been debated over the years. The topic is controversial and complex because seemingly everyone has an opini...
Ditch the Clip: Why Behavior Charts Don't Work
May 13, 2022 12:00 - 23 minutes - 42.8 MBWe’re continuing this season’s exploration of educational practices that are mainstays in many schools - even though research may be saying it’s time to let them go. This week, we’re tackling a big one - behavior charts. You know... if you're having a good day, you're on green... if you've made some bad choices, you're on red. Different classrooms use different approaches, including colors, clips, etc., but they all work the same basic way: by publicly displaying the level of behavioral perf...

Today, Mike Kaschak and Michelle Smith from SST8 have a quick but powerful conversation about recess and play time. Should we be taking it away from students when they misbehave? We know some educators consider this to be a tried and true consequence for challenging behavior - but take a listen for some great considerations about how this might backfire… and what w...

April 15, 2022 12:00 - 36 minutes - 66.6 MBWelcome back to this season’s discussion about some of the “sticky” practices in our profession that have persisted, despite lack of research evidence. Today’s topic is a very polarizing one: retention.

Yet it continues to be something that schools consider when students are encountering serious learning struggles. In today’s episode,...

Why is it that ineffective instructional practices continue to be used in schools, when we have ample research showing us that they don’t work - or even do harm? We landed on this topic after reading a 2021 book by Persida and William Himmele, Why Are We Still Doing That? Positive Alternatives to Pro...

March 11, 2022 13:00 - 27 minutes - 50.8 MBIt's a bonus episode!

February 04, 2022 13:00 - 18 minutes - 34.1 MBLiteracy instruction does not end in the elementary grades!

Today, we are joined by Roger Howard, one of Ohio's Adolescent Literacy leads and also a consultant at the ESC of NE Ohio. ...
