History has all but disappeared from American elementary schools. In the History Matters Podcast, host Barbara Davidson explores the vast untapped potential of high-quality history instruction to build knowledge, accelerate literacy, and prepare young people to participate in civic life.
What is the Science of Learning, and how does it connect with the Science of Reading? In Season 3 of the Knowledge Matters Podcast, hosts Dylan Wiliam, Doug Lemov, and Natalie Wexler explain what happens in the brain when we read and write–and what that means for teaching and learning.
What experiences help children become confident, strong readers who make meaning from what they read? In Season 2 of the Knowledge Matters Podcast, hosts Meredith and David Liben talk with teachers and experts about the classroom strategies that develop reading comprehension.
How do children learn not just to read, but to truly understand what they have read? In Season 1 of the Knowledge Matters Podcast, host Natalie Wexler delves into neuroscience and literacy research, and why major education reforms haven’t delivered on their promises.
