Podcast: Ron Berger and Building an Ethic of Excellence

I sat down with Ron, veteran teacher and senior advisor for EL Education to uncover his secrets for creating this ‘ethic of excellence,’ and how we can create it in our students as well. We learn:

• The power of public exhibition
• How to transform static units of study into dynamic ‘expeditions’ of learning
• How to build a positive classroom culture of feedback, critique + reflection
• How to improve work quality without ever awarding a grade
• To unleash curiosity and wonder in our most reluctant learners
