Hello everyone! One of my any promises for season 6 of the podcast was to bring on teachers who teach subjects outside of the core bunch. Today, we are doing just that!
Laura Truebenbach is a high school Spanish teacher in Texas, and has a lot of insights about how Covid changed how she taught, how she overcame those obstacles, and the importance of supporting students as they learn a new language.
Regardless of if you are a second language teacher or not, there are so many nuggets of advice and insight into the world of teaching high school. I learned a lot, and I know you will too!
This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and by
their new book Teaching Writing in Small Groups by Jennifer Serravallo.
Everyone’s turning to groups in this unique school year so they can teach more efficiently and spread the learning further.
Jen shows you how to make the most of small groups. She gives you seven different options that help meet any students’ needs. Like strategy groups, guided writing, writing clubs, and more.
She provides writing progressions to help you decide which students to group and why.
There’s even video that demonstrates Jen’s teaching in a variety of classrooms.
If you don’t have Teaching Writing in Small Groups, head on over to Heinemann.com to read a sample chapter. Find out what you’re missing and order yourself a copy today.
