About this listen


The Literacy View podcast is dedicated to providing educators and parents with Breaking News and cutting-edge research in literacy instruction. Nicknamed by one of their listeners as the “Spice Girls of Literacy,” Faith and Judy, two veteran educators who still work in the trenches, bring their expertise, senses of humor, and passion for literacy instruction to the show, making it an engaging and informative experience for listeners. Never shying away from controversial topics and guests, and frequently disagreeing with each other, the hosts break down complex research into easy-to-understand takeaways and provide actionable solutions that teachers and parents can use in their classrooms and at home. And, they are never afraid to good-naturedly call BS or cheer on their guests or each other when a point or item of discussion excites them. In fact, they have “BS” and “cheer” buttons at the ready for that very purpose! With their engaging format and wealth of knowledge, Faith and Judy are sure to help you take your teaching to the next level! It is no wonder that so many of their guests and listeners consider the Literacy View their favorite, can’t-miss podcast in the literacy space. Have fun and learn at the same time!

    What Actually Works In Schools -LIVE from researchED
    May 5 2026

    Ep.167-What Actually Works In Schools

    The Literacy View live from researchED.

    VALUE:
    In this episode with Jim Heal, we call out the truth most schools avoid. We are not failing because teachers are not working hard. We are failing because we keep chasing everything instead of committing to what actually works. Jim breaks down mental models, worked examples, and the science of learning in a way that actually makes sense for real classrooms. This is where research meets reality and where a lot of what schools are doing gets exposed for what it is.

    PROMISE:
    You will leave knowing exactly what to stop doing, what is worth doubling down on, and how to make your instruction actually stick. No more guessing. No more wasted time. Just clear, actionable moves you can use tomorrow that will actually impact student learning. No fluff. No hiding. No BS.
