This is a recommendation for the Class Disrupted podcast. This podcast is now in its 4th season and is hosted by Dianne Tavvener and Michael Horn. I follow several podcasts that include a focus on mastery learning in k12 settings and this wide-ranging podcast does frequently discuss mastery learning topics.
Aside from mastery learning, I am fascinated with this series because there is a lived historical element there for consideration. The podcast started in response to the COVID disruption. Rather than first listening to the most recent episodes or to episodes that have an interesting description, I would recommend listening from the first episode on. If you have an interest in technology and the now related topic of the reaction of many educators to the forced use of technology during the “learn from home” years or are intrigued by what has to have been one of the most disruptive periods in our lives and the long term impact of this disruption, there is plenty to consider by working your way through the episodes from the beginning. What were our expectations? What were our plans? How are things working out?
