Episode 6 focuses on something known to teachers as the Gradual Release of Responsibility (known to many parents as "Now watch mommy/daddy do it"). Incorporating this into your home-based classroom could be a game changer, but it needs to be done well to be effective.
This episode features our interview with Brett, a high school Social Studies teacher. He offers some juicy insights on just what studying history does for us as a society, as well as some wise advise for our home-bound school scenario.
