This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to Episode 54 of the Cult of Pedagogy Podcast.

In this episode, I'm going to explain what a greation-earned lesson is,

how you can tell if you're teaching one and what you can do about it.

A couple of years ago, when I was just starting Cult of Pedagogy,

A lot of teachers love the idea of personalized learning, but without the right tools,

it's still just a buzzword. Kidham is a free platform that helps you personalize learning

for every student. With Kidham, teachers gain access to an unlimited library of standards-aligned

content, coupled with beautiful actionable reports to see exactly which standards need more work,

and which students need more help. To learn more, visit Cult of Pedagogy.com slash Kidham,
