Education Gadfly Show #818: Kate Walsh on the state of teacher quality in America

Michael J. Petrilli Kate Walsh Amber M. Northern, Ph.D.
5.4.2022
 

On this week’s Education Gadfly Show podcast, Kate Walsh, who just finished a twenty-year run leading the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), joins Mike Petrilli to discuss America’s progress (and the lack thereof) on the teacher effectiveness front over the past two decades. Then, on the Research Minute, Amber Northern reviews a study finding that an AI-capable chatbot improved student college course performance, especially for first-generation students.

Recommended content:

  • Kate’s reflections on her time at NCTQ: “In gratitude - A final message from Kate Walsh.”
  • The study that Amber reviewed on the Research Minute: Katharine Meyer et al., “Let’s Chat: Chatbot Nudging for Improved Course Performance” Retrieved from Annenberg Institute at Brown University (April 2022).
