About the podcast
Welcome to Chalkboard Chatter, the go-to podcast for K–5 educators, instructional leaders, and curriculum decision-makers who are passionate about personalized learning, inclusive education, and research-backed strategies for student success. Hosted by experienced educational consultants, each episode explores transformative topics that are shaping the future of elementary education — from play-based learning and curriculum alignment to equity-centered practices and AI-enhanced instruction. Drawing inspiration from top consulting teams like Education Elements, Teach.Play.Learn, and TNTP, we unpack real-world tools and frameworks designed to drive meaningful, measurable impact in K–5 classrooms. You'll discover how emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, are being integrated into lesson design, assessment, and differentiated instruction — not as a replacement for teachers, but as a powerful support in creating responsive, student-centered environments. Whether you’re launching a new ELA curriculum, strengthening your MTSS model, or navigating the complexities of neurodiverse learner support, Chalkboard Chatter delivers weekly insights to help you lead with confidence and clarity. Because every child deserves a classroom — and a system — built to help them thrive.
