Hello everyone! Without a doubt, education is in flux right now. Some of it is good and needed, and some of it is scary and leading to thousands of educators leaving the profession, and hundreds of families feeling disenfranchised by the schools they used to love.
Where do we go from here? What are the next steps to leading us into a new and great age of education?
My friend Maxwell Roach, an entrepreneur, accomplished musician, and father dives with me into these topics and so much more as we learn about his tutoring company and what his success might mean for education as a whole.
This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their new book, A Teacher’s Guide to Mentor Texts, Grades K-5 by Carl Anderson.
Using mentor texts in the writing classroom can be a real game-changer for teachers. But how can we help teachers find mentor texts 
on their own, analyze them for teaching points, and use them effectively in the classroom?
Carl Anderson’s newest book offers a five-step plan for improving student writing using mentor texts. Over 23 classroom videos, annotated samples, student samples, and online resources bring the content to life and give teachers the confidence to find and use mentor texts as powerful teaching tools.
