Preview EP95: Discussing Current Issues Appearing in Education with Miriam Plotinsky

Today we are previewing episode 95 of the Making After-School Cool Podcast which focuses on current issues appearing in education.  As Educational practices continuously evolve,  there remains the question of “are the methods we now use to educate our youth keeping pace with the educational evolution?” Research has shown that when students actively participate in lessons, they are more engaged and their academic performance increase.

To discuss a few of these topics is my guest, Miriam Plotinsky. Miriam is an author and instructional specialist who addresses challenges in both teaching and leading across schools with a wide range of needs. She is widely published in educational journals and her first book, Teach More, Hover Less: How to Stop Micromanaging Your Secondary Classroom , is a practical guide to a student-centered instructional approach that removes the necessity of teacher micromanagement.
