Ep. 18: What if quality of thought was at the core of our education system? A conversation with Maria Vamvalis

Educators and teachers do some of the most valuable work in society. As a teacher, Maria grapples with the question how might we create powerful learning environments? She then takes her insights and applies them in the classroom. Maria has also worked with the Critical Thinking Consortium and credits some of her insights to the work that they are doing.

In this podcast, we explore how Maria puts her work into practice. She describes her job as creating meaningful, authentic learning experience for her students. In this podcast, she talks about how she works to develop authentic moments, experiences, and relationships within her classroom. In this podcast, we talk about how she places thinking at the core of her classroom experience. For Maria, we need to put thinking at the heart of learning if we are to improve what and how students learn.
