Listen "Michael Pershan Revisited"
Episode Synopsis
Michael Pershan, a New York City math teacher, returns to TeachLab to share his experiences in the face of COVID-19. Back by audience request, Michael reflects on the challenges faced during the spring, and shares his strategies for the fall.“...It's hard to know what kids are actually learning and doing. So I'm trying to be flexible. My plan for the spring was eventually keep things engaging, keep kids coming back. That's my fundamental goal. Try to teach as much as I can. And that's what I'm going to try to do in the fall also.” - Michael PershanIn this episode we’ll talk about:What we learned in the springTechnology needs and solutions for remote learningEngaging and motivating kids virtuallyRemote learning for elementary studentsUsing variety and reinforcementResearchED conference Resources and LinksCheck out Michael Pershan on TwitterCheck out Justin Reich’s new book!For more teacher reflections from COVID-19, check out What's Lost, What's Left, What's Next: Lessons Learned from the Lived Experiences of Teachers during the 2020 Novel Coronavirus Pandemic Transcripthttps://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/michael-pershan-revisited/transcript Produced by Aimee Corrigan and Garrett BeazleyRecorded and mixed by Garrett Beazley Follow TeachLab:FacebookTwitterYouTube
