Podcast Transcript Ep 1: Getting Started with the Teacher's Toolkit for Literacy

About this teaching resource

In this podcast transcript of Episode 1, Sharon Callen introduces herself and gives you a taste of what the show is all about - giving tools and techniques to really help teachers in their classrooms (and they work for all students). 

Sharon also touches on some key questions that teachers are asking, including: 

How do we get all students to be engaged in literacy? How do we know the tools we choose are working? How do we create an entry point for each and every student? How do we become a thinker, rather than a deliverer of programs? How do I maintain an engaging and rigorous literacy classroom?

Sharon also talks about building trusted mentors or professional associations, developing timeless principles, and becoming a professional - an authentic teacher who owns their own teaching. 

And, some practical points to finish -

 1. Sharon's recommended book 

2. A great tool you can use in the literacy classroom 

3. Something exciting Sharon has seen in a classroom this week
