Episode 10: The Power of Learning Goals and Success Criteria with Lisa Bosio
Is it possible to program with flexible means to meet the needs of all learners without firm goals? No. When learning goals are always accessible and frequently referenced, we have a powerful way to engage students in the learning process, and students have something that’ll help them sustain their efforts and focus. Learning Goals make learning easier. They engage students, and lay the foundation for flexible, meaningful experiences that empower all students to achieve the same high and rigorous learning expectations. They really are that magical.

Episode 7: Letting Go and Finding What Matters
Stu and Lori from the KPRDSB discuss how teachers can still be subject experts without being content police. This sets the stage for a collaborative learning partnership and puts the teacher in the role of tour guide; a leader who shows the group the main curriculum landmarks, gives feedback, asks and answers questions but also shares the helm of the ship with students as they navigate the waters between curriculum and self-differentiation. The voyage becomes not what we teach, but how we teach.
