In the 8th episode of the season, your traveling principal goes all the way back in time to Socrates, in order to convince educators to STOP THE LECTURE! Joe looks at national statistics for lecture and it’s efficacy considering levels of both engagement and retention in US schools, which are somewhat surprising. He then talks about alternatives of classrooms filled with Monologue to those filled with Dialogue! Joe breaks down alternatives to lectures by explaining all things Socratic Seminars, how to do them in your classroom, and statistics to show why you should begin immediately. Also included is a special teacher time audit, that allows any teacher to walk themselves through how often you are teaching using specific learning methods - and this data can be looked at for your own benefit and adjustment! Enjoy!!!!
