I get a little self-indulgent in this episode as I talk with David Cooper Moore about teaching and media literacy, but also a bunch about music.
Specific topics discussed include digital literacy, what criticism brings to teaching, how our feelings inform our practice, Taylor Swift and youth culture, relating to youth culture (or not), rating yourself as a teacher through the Pitchfork rating scale, understanding your students, how we can address the gaps in student learning when they arrive in high school, working hard and a problem with the structure of the school day, and a bonus question about the new Taylor Swift album, which was about to be released at the time of this recording.
