Back-To-School: Virtual Education Has Left Many Students With Gaps In Their Learning. How Can Schools Meet Them Where They Are?
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been clear that not all students have been impacted by the switch to online learning in the same ways.
The greatest impacts have fallen on young children, as well as English language learners and low-income students. As a result, some students are experiencing a learning loss, particularly in language arts and math. How big has the impact of the pandemic been on vulnerable students? And are there interventions that could help students meet their educational goals? Joining us to discuss is Libby Pier, director of impact at Education Analytics, a non-profit which conducts statistical research to solve complex, pressing problems facing public education in the United States, and Magaly Lavadenz, distinguished professor of English Learner Research, Policy and Practice at Loyola Marymount University, and executive director of the Center for Equity for English Learners.
After ‘Jeopardy!’ Announces New Hosts, A Look At The Art Of Game Show Hosting
Answer: This job may seem easy on TV, but it’s harder than it looks. Question: What Is A Game Show Host?
Eight months after the death of beloved “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, the daily syndicated quiz show chose its executive producer, Mike Richards, as Trebek’s successor over a field of celebrity candidates.
But after fan backlash to a selection process that turned messy in recent weeks, producer Sony split the pie by naming another guest host, actor Mayim Bialik, as emcee for “Jeopardy!” primetime and spinoff series, including a new college championship. But hosting a game show, especially one like “Jeopardy!” is no cake walk.
Today on AirTalk, we talk with longtime host of "The Newlywed Game" Bob Eubanks and comedian and "The Price Is Right" host Drew Carey about the art of game show hosting, the skill set it requires, the challenges hosts face and how to navigate the added pressure of having to take over for a longtime, beloved host like the late Alex Trebek.
