CEWL VIBES
CEWL Vibes is produced by Pete Stone, an educator from Chester County. In each episode, Pete will explore educational philosophy, pedagogy, and policy. We invite you to engage in dialogue around the issues raised so we can refine and improve school cultures across South Carolina.
Pete Stone CEWL Vibes - Why is Teacher Retention Trending Up? Pete takes a deep dive into data on teacher retention? What is actually causing retention rates to improve?
CEWL Vibes - Microwavable Curricula Pete Stones compares scripted curricula to microwavable meals. Gourmet chefs want to cook, not microwave. Likewise, great teachers want to prepare and deliver "gourmet" lessons, not pre-made, paint-by-number material.
CEWL Vibes - Making Space for Wonder Pete asks us to consider that sometimes less is more. When we create space, instead of cramming every second of the school day for test prep, we make room for wonder to appear.
CEWL Vibes - Is Standardized Testing Dumbing Down Education? Pete makes the case that our obsession with testing is dumbing down education and hurting students, especially the most creative ones.
CEWL Vibes - Just a Teacher? Pete Stone explores the idea that "just being a teacher" is somehow not enough.
CEWL Vibes - Unpack the Data? 🚨 MUST WATCH 🚨 We’re told to “unpack the data” and do what’s best for students, but those goals collide when we’re looking at the wrong data! #cewlvibes #becewl
CEWL Vibes - Escaping the Blame Game Pete Stone asks us to work together instead of blaming. He also asks educators to share their opinions and ideas, even if we disagree.
CEWL Vibes - Do Pacing Guides Kill Joy? Pete Stone asks us to examine whether pacing guides steal the joy of teaching and learning.
CEWL Vibes - Free Labor for Testing Companies Pete Stone asks whether we should consider compensating educators for the labor they provide to administer standardized tests.
