From Research to Recess - Intro Episode

Welcome to the very first episode of From Research to Recess! 🎉 We are so excited you’re here.In this kickoff episode, we’re sharing a little bit about why we started this podcast… and what you can expect each week when you hit play. Because honestly? We kept coming back to the same idea again and again. There is SO much great research out there, but it doesn’t always feel easy to bring it into your classroom in a real, doable way.That’s where this podcast comes in.Between the two of us, we’ve spent years in the classroom, coaching teachers, and sharing ideas on our blogs. We’ve tried things that worked beautifully… and a few that didn’t. And that’s exactly what we want to bring to you. Real talk about what actually works with K–3 students, and how to keep your instruction grounded in research while still making learning engaging and fun.We’ll also give you a little peek into our own journeys. The experiences that shaped how we teach and why we’re so passionate about this work.And… we’re starting things off with a book study! We’re diving into Next Steps in Literacy Instruction, and we would love for you to read along with us. It’s going to be one of those resources you keep coming back to.Have something you’re curious about? A topic you’d love for us to unpack? Send it our way. We’re building this space with you in mind.Whether you’re in kindergarten, first, second, or third grade… or you just love talking about teaching and learning… you’re in the right place. 💛YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG THE BOOK STUDY (AFFILIATE LINK):Next STEPS in Literacy Instruction: Connecting Assessments to Effective Interventions Second Edition, New editionWhere can you find us?Hilary Statum: https://pencilstopigtails.com/Deedee Wills: https://mrswillskindergarten.com/
