172 | How to Learn Anything!
172 | How to Learn Anything!

Strategies for picking up new skills and habits as well as some myth-busting. Shane and Abraham provide a general algorithm for how to get good at anything! The “secret” is basically to break anything down into small steps and commit to them. Furthermore, have some kind of payoff for succeeding. As it turns out, learning to do anything overlaps considerably with how to teach anything. Do something new today!

This follow-up to our first discussion on Montessori School, Abraham shares some stories of experience with students who attended Montessori style schools. We point out that Montessori may have been involuntarily watered down by regulations. We also compare and contrast Montessori with other evidence-based educational practices. Plus, some discussion around random topics in movies and other things.

Running around covered in marker and glitter! In the first part of this discussion, we will highlight the background of Maria Montessori’s educational theory and practice. This theory proposes unique learning materials, a child-directed approach, and why it may or may not be beneficial for different age groups. Having maintained its popularity for over 100 years, the Montessori approach is not without some unanswered questions. We will unpack the Montessori approach and see how it compares to other more researched and familiar practices, and what some of the benefits are.

149 | Understanding Dyslexia

At the time that we recorded this, we had no idea how pervasive the coronavirus was going to become, so we made no mention of it. Forgive the lack of discussion about this topic. However, perhaps this is an opportunity to focus on something else for a while. We discuss the history of dyslexia, some of the factors that may have contributed to the increase in prevalence, and diagnostic criteria. Furthermore, we describe some of the interventions and curriculum that has been designed to help individuals with dyslexia.
