Conducting small groups this year? Listen to this interview with researchers, and post-interview conversation with educators about practical takeaways for the classroom. Here, or wherever you get your podcasts: jenniferserravallo.com/blog/…
ALT "I would be suspicious of a program where small group is just intended as a small group replication of whatever they're getting in whole group, because that....certainly doesn't seem data driven or student driven. It's not really about the kids that are in your class and the immediate needs that they have." Dr Kristin Conradi-Smith TO the Classroom Podcast

A friend shared that her daughter, an amazing teacher, is leaving the profession. The wage is not livable for her - a single person with reasonable bills + some student loans. That breaks my heart. We have to do better.
