@mguhlin @edutooter @edutooters #Edutainers are the people peddling the "teach like a...." Or who coin cool terms that mean very little while promoting status quo or worse, practices that harm, especially marginalized students in the name of "equality" or "community" while selling books and charging districts $1000s for what effectively is snake oil and bad pedagogy.
Here is a point of reference
@mattT @mguhlin @edutooter @edutooters There is absolutely an entire industry, curriculum, tech, PD in education running on limited to no research that offers simple solutions to complicated problems, and then blames teachers for failures.
Completely undermines teachers and improvement and serves to make money at the cost of children.
@mattT @ZingerLearns @mguhlin @edutooters @edutooter you just need to implement the programs that are failing with more “fidelity”. 🙄. Whatever you do, do not trust your expertise in evaluating the needs of your local community (and never, EVER, partner with them in the process).
Many of us teach in wasteland left by the Educationalists Industrial Complex Machine - a machine that looks to undermine their clients and change the objectives of education constantly so to never to fail presenting a “new approach,” or sell new products to districts with gullible administrators eager to consume the fool’s gold.
