The Inspired Educator Podcast

On today’s episode, I am speaking to Lara Ragpot. Lara is an associate professor with expertise in childhood development and special education. In our conversation, we discuss math education, specifically math education for early learners. Lara describes how young children develop an understanding of math, especially as it ties to language and spatial awareness. She has many great teaching and learning suggestions, based on her research, to help children grow in their mathematical understanding.

In this episode, Professor Nina Lui discuss the area of assessment. Nina brings a refreshing voice and critique about traditional assessment methods, and instead, she describes how we can be human in our assessment practices.

 

For this first episode, I wanted to share the purpose and scope of the podcast. The Inspired Educator podcast is all about generating conversations concerning education. If you are interested in educational things, educational theories, educational research, and educational praxis, then this podcast is for you.

New episodes, featuring expert educators, will be out every few weeks.
