🎧 What This Breaking News Episode Delivers

Dr. Timothy Shanahan joins us to bring absolute clarity to one of the most misunderstood topics in literacy.

Educators get a clear explanation of what background knowledge truly is and what it is not. You will learn how to separate fact from fiction and understand what the research actually supports without jargon or confusion.

By the end of this episode, educators will be able to spot misinformation quickly, understand the real story behind background knowledge, and feel more confident using evidence aligned practices in their classrooms.

No fluff. No confusion. No BS.
