Episode description

Welcome to Coaching Conversations, where we explore innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with my dear friend and extraordinary voice in education, Carol Tomlinson. I'm your host, Jim Knight, and I'm excited to bring you insights from the forefront of education.

With a focus on curriculum, differentiated instruction, and formative assessment, Carol’s  work at the University of Virginia has always aimed to empower classroom teachers to enhance the learning experiences of diverse learners. Through over 300 publications, including bestselling books like How to Differentiate Instruction in Academically Diverse Classrooms and The Differentiated Classroom, Carol has strived to provide practical strategies for educators worldwide.

Named Outstanding Professor at UVA's School of Education and recognized as #12 in the Education Week Edu-Scholar Public Presence Rankings, my commitment to advancing educational discourse remains steadfast. Whether it's through her writing or collaborations with educators nationally and internationally, Carol’s goal is to foster learner-centered classrooms where every student can thrive.

Join me on Coaching Conversations as we delve into the principles and practices of differentiation, formative assessment, and creating inclusive learning environments. Whether you're a teacher, a school leader, or simply passionate about education, this podcast is your resource for transformative ideas and actionable strategies.
