Larry Ferlazzo: How to Teach "Better"

What Is at the Heart of Better Teaching? — Larry Ferlazzo

What should remain constant in great teaching even as technology, AI, and instructional trends continue to change?

John Schembari talks with educator and author Larry Ferlazzo about ideas from The Better Teacher's Toolbox, including relationships, student autonomy, relevance, competence, productive struggle, small-group learning, and keeping technology in its proper place.

They also explore how teachers can use AI and technology without sacrificing the human interaction and student thinking at the heart of learning.

Key takeaway: Better teaching isn't about chasing every new tool or trend. It's about knowing what matters, understanding your students, and adapting your practice to the context in front of you.
