The notion that “schools are designed like a factory” is a pernicious myth in education. Jenn Binis, host of the podcast Ed History 101, joins us to discuss why this narrative is so prevalent and how the myth ends up hurting teachers.
Later, we read a paper on how teachers build social capital in their building. Community cohesion is valuable, but too much can lead to some unintended consequences.
Outtakes returns when a behind-the-scenes discussion takes a turn for personal reflection. We get thoughtful about how we use names professionally.
