Based upon a lifetime spent in the classroom, teaching students of all ages, I believe that I have more than a few words of advice for those following in my footsteps. Being a classroom teacher, an educator, of so many, has been the greatest privilege but it took me an entire career to become a master of my craft. Now I want to offer a Master Class in teaching to others, focussing on the issues of today. I invite you to follow up listening to me by emailing ifou ever have any questions. It would be my pleasure.

A few weeks ago, in the New York Times, there was a flurry of articles reporting on the move in New York City to cancel all its gifted education programs. Naturally, this led to the rest of the country and parts of Canada looking at their own gifted education programs and wondering whether NYC is right or wrong. In this podcast, I take a look at my own experiences as a student and as a teacher with regards to gifted education programs. I was in such a program when they first emerged and today, there are reasons why we ought not to call them gifted education at all but see them in light of individualized instruction. And individualized instruction takes us as educators back to the fundamentals of what it means to teach and students to learn. Listen to my podcast to understand why.
