Teacher Radio is a cutting-edge enhancement to online resources -- designed to inspire, motivate and entertain teachers.
Leonard Mlodinow, Vice President at Scholastic Internet Group

The program honors teachers by giving a space just for them.
Lou Giansante, Senior Producer

Scholastic Inc., the global children’s publishing and media company launched Teacher Radio, a magazine-style program in fall 2000. The show airs weekly via the Internet at www.scholastic.com/teacherradio.

Each lively “netcast” of Scholastic’s Teacher Radio focuses on topics of interest to teachers, including interviews with authors and educational experts, such as math maven and Bank Street Honorary Degree recipient Marilyn Burns and civil rights activist and author Ruby Bridges. The show also offers practical advice — from classroom management to reading, science, and social studies’ lessons. Bank Street alumni, School for Children faculty and current graduate students are featured in “Teacher Talk” (group discussions) and “Teacher Story” segments.

The program’s co-hosts are Nina Jaffe, graduate faculty of Bank Street College of Education, and Lou Giansante, a Peabody award-winning radio producer and former educator
