Response to Teacher Talk

"After viewing the Teacher Talk tapes, the teachers feel like they can go right back into class and teach like they did when they first started. One of our teachers even tried the raisin box lesson, costume and all. The kids were really excited about it and even though they had a lot of fun, they never lost sight of the math they were learning." 
M. D., Assistant Principal, Luling, LA

"Our teachers were captivated by the videos. They were drawn into wanting to do more innovative things in their classrooms, trying things that in the past they wouldn't even attempt to do. The videos were so natural…The natural responses from these children, unrehearsed material that wasn't the 'perfect answer,' really tickled our teachers. I think that the videos helped us raise our expectations of our own kids."
J. W., Math Department Chair, Galveston, TX

"The Teacher Talk materials…gave us some great ideas for teaching in teams of four: language arts, social studies, science and math teachers. After seeing the "Oobleck" lesson our science teachers said, "There's the way to pull the language arts into our study plans."
