    299. 1 Thing Your Students Actually Need Right Now
    Apr 13 2026

    Feeling the pressure to try something new before testing season?

    In this episode, Emily and 5th grade teacher Meghan share why that instinct might be doing more harm than good. Instead of adding new strategies, they encourage teachers to lean into the routines that are already working. Listen in and walk away with simple ways to strengthen what’s already in place (or super easy to implement) — like a sentence writing routine and the 3-2-1 comprehension framework. This episode is your reminder to stay consistent, trust your teaching, and finish the year strong.

    If you’ve ever reached April and wondered why some students still seem to struggle with reading, you’re not alone. In this episode of the Stellar Teacher Podcast, we explore a reality many teachers experience during the final months of the school year: student progress in literacy isn’t always smooth or predictable.

    As academic expectations increase in the spring, gaps in decoding, fluency, and foundational reading skills often become more visible. Passages get longer, questions become more complex, and students are expected to apply multiple literacy skills at once.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode
    • Why literacy growth often feels messy and unpredictable
    • How increased reading demands expose hidden skill gaps
    • The role of decoding and fluency in reading success
    • Why targeted instruction is more effective than wide review
    • How to identify the biggest barrier to student progress

    297. The Difference Between Feedback and Noise
    Mar 30 2026

    In this episode, Sara and Kori discuss the difference between helpful feedback and noise in teaching. With so many opinions and suggestions coming from evaluations, colleagues, professional development, and social media, it can be difficult for teachers to know which feedback to take seriously and which advice to let go.

    Sara and Kori share personal experiences with receiving feedback throughout their careers and talk about how teachers can learn to filter input, prioritize what matters most, and focus on feedback that supports meaningful professional growth.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    1. The difference between constructive feedback and noise
    2. How to identify trustworthy sources of feedback
    3. Strategies for filtering and prioritizing feedback
    4. Why professional growth is a long-term process

The topics covered in the episodes are topics that are current and relevant to teaching today. They have really helped me to better understand and implement Science of Reading in my 4th and 5th grade classes. I feel like I am able to take each week's content and use it in my classroom that week!

I'm a 13y veteran teacher and I'm still learning new things. I like the ideas that Sara gives in all the podcasts but in particular the ones about teaching vocabulary and sentence writing. I like the shift she is making by gearing lessons toward SOR idealogy. It is what I was looking for.

Great advice and ideas
