Ep 5: Classroom greetings; homework in elementary schools; neuroscience for teachers

Have a big idea in education that you want discussed on the show? Tweet #bigideasineducation and let us know about it! This week, the Big Ideas Team discusses a very special classroom greeting program organized by Kindergarten students in Birchwood, Wisconsin. They also discuss a recent article in Education Week about homework in the Kindergarten level: How early is too early, and how much is too much? The show closes with a conversation about the recent announcement by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative about its new program to help teachers learn neuroscience.
