In today's episode, Travis and Jeff are joined by Jodi Ramos, a lauded writing teacher in San Antonio, TX. We discuss Jodi's recent work with the New York Times Teaching Project, including the piece she co-wrote for the Times with fellow project partner Blake Bockholt titled Sentences That Matter, Mentor and Motivate. Using articles from the Times as mentors, Jodi and Blake share their spin on the Patterns of Power process in their middle and high school classrooms.
