Well, it's that time of year. Students are back in class. Facilitators are facilitating. The POGIL Podcast is returning! We are closing in on the first full episode of Season 5. Join Alex, Siobhan and Wayne as they talk about what is in store for our listeners when we return in October.
Having students work in teams is at the heart of teaching with POGIL. But POGIL is not the only pedagogy that stresses the use of teams in the classroom. Join Siobhan Julian as she talks with, Neal Carter , professor of political science at BYU-Idaho, and, Shawn Simonson , professor in the Department of Kinesiology, Boise State University, as they compare and contrast POGIL and TBL.

How important is our students' science literacy as they become productive citizens in society? In Episode 5 of Season 4 of the POGIL Podcast, Alex Grushow talks with Dr. Matthew Fisher of Saint Vincent College about his work with SENCER (Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities). Matt incorporates POGIL activities into his classrooms while using an approach that is centered around civic awareness. Join us to see how POGIL and SENCER can work together. www.POGIL.org www.sencer.net
