Brandon sits down with Moses Brown Middle School educator Jon Gold to talk about a variety of topics related to the unique challenges of teaching middle school. The discussion ranges from the learning, guardrails teachers can put in place, and mistakes common with middle level learners; what are we grading and why are we grading it; using NotebookLM and Gems for student feedback; and a future that might include making bots that can assist teachers.
