Problems in education are often a complex mix of social, cognitive, and historical processes. Dr. Beth Holland, author of a recent Education Week piece we read, joins us to talk about education perspective.
Later, Dr. Holland shares her expertise in studying school networks as we discuss how we can get more from our efforts in working with colleagues.
The Peer Review brings us a paper from our listeners that was a favorite from 2018. We read a brief from 100Kin10 about improving representation of women in STEM.
