We’re delighted to welcome back Dylan Wiliam, Doug Lemov, and Natalie Wexler, who expertly hosted our “Literacy and the Science of Learning” podcast, for an exciting new webinar on February 5, 2026 at 12 pm ET.
Introducing the History Matters Podcast!
Curious. Confident. Knowledgeable about the world. A content-rich approach to teaching history supports all this and more—even in our youngest students. Yet history has all but disappeared from American elementary schools. In the inaugural season of the History Matters Podcast, we explore the vast untapped potential of high-quality history instruction to build knowledge, accelerate literacy, and prepare students to participate in civic life. New episodes drop Tuesdays!
Season 3 of the Knowledge Matters Podcast is here!
How is the Science of Reading connected to the Science of Learning? What happens in the brain when we read and write, and how can curriculum and instruction maximize that development–and learning in general? Hosts Dylan Wiliam, Doug Lemov, and Natalie Wexler connect specific cognitive functions and classroom practices that support students to learn to read and understand what they have read, with insights and concrete examples from researchers and educators applying these techniques on the ground.
