Bringing 2025 to a close with one of our most important conversations! Tune in as we chat with educator-authors, @MrsBallAP & @lamb_heart_tea on why we need to be hunters in our classrooms, searching for student understanding, vs hoping & fishing for mastery. The Scaffolding Effect is one of the best professional development books we've ever read; truly scaffolding and chunking material down for all of us to understand. Happy year-end to all of our listeners! @SuzannahEvans2 @drshanesaeed @StVrainOPD
