S2E7 Read Into Audiobooks/Podcasts- Adrian Del Monte (Part 1)

Co-host Beth Lyons and Adrian Del Monte from The Wholehearted Teaching podcast sit down to discuss how educators are embracing audiobooks and podcasts as texts in their classroom, especially since the start of the pandemic. As parents of young children Beth and Adrian reflect on the current remote learning situation and how it has impacted their understanding of the education system as educators in the areas of assessment and demonstration of learning. How might we embrace audiobooks in our classrooms and school libraries to allow students greater access to stories? What constitutes “real” reading in classrooms and is this an outdated, colonial approach to teaching students about stories and narratives? As educators we need to reflect on what the goal of teaching language arts is and how we are serving our students as individuals in our literacy programs. <br /><br /><br />Adrian Del Monte <br />The Wholehearted Teaching Podcast- @podcastforheart<br /><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KkC9ZDZgThOAAoRUCxlc20H0JcBs9QjN/view" rel="noopener">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KkC9ZDZgThOAAoRUCxlc20H0JcBs9QjN/view</a><br />@adrian_delmonte<br /><br /><br />Texts Mentioned in this Episode<br />The Dogman series by Dav Pilkey<br />Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (audiobook narrated by Trevor Noah)<br />The Truth About Stories by Thomas King<br />This Book Is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell<br />The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman<br />Dear Humanity by Wali Shah<br />A Promised Land by Barack Obama (audiobook narrated by Barack Obama)<br />Becoming by Michelle Obama (audiobook narrated by Michelle Obama)<br />The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls (audiobook narrated by Jeanette Walls)<br />When They Call You a Terrorist; A Blacl Lives Matters Memoir by by Patrisse Cullors (Author), asha bandele (Author), Angela Davis (Foreword) (audiobook narrated by Patrisse Khan-Cullors)<br />The Stone Thrower A Daughter's Lessons, a Father's Life by Jael Ealey Richardson (audiobook narrated by Jael Ealey Richardson)<br />Gutter Child by J
