The Pedagogical Stop asks guest educators to share their interests, experiences, and expertise with our participant teachers. Their contribution may be a piece of writing giving advice, reflecting on their work as educators, expressing their opinion on the fundamental areas a teacher should focus on developing, or anything they may want to share with a new generation of educators.

When a guest is not featured, we will recommend literature, review noteworthy books and other educational publications, and discuss topics in the educational sphere, such as curriculum and teaching, education policy, literacy, and urban education.
