The Dropout Nation Podcast: Advancing the Power of High-Quality Teaching

On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, RiShawn Biddle takes a look at a new study on teacher quality from CALDER and explains why we must overhaul how we recruit, train, manage, and reward our teachers. Our children, and good and great teachers, deserve cultures of genius in which they can thrive and succeed.

You can listen to the Podcast at RiShawn Biddle’s radio page or download directly to your iPod, Zune, MP3 player, smartphone, Nook Color or Kindle Fire. Also, subscribe to the podcast series. It is also available on iTunes, Blubrry, Zune Marketplace, Stitcher (for those of us using our Androids and iPhones), and PodBean. Also download to your phone with BlackBerry podcast software, Google Reader, BeyondPod, DoggCatcher and other mobile software.
