• Curious Students Learn Best

    Understanding the brain's tendencies to avoid excessive thinking is crucial for educators. We need to leverage this knowledge to help foster a love for problem-solving and critical thinking among our students. Listen in as Dr. Colin Roche explores the idea that the human mind isn't inherently designed for thinking, and how we, as educators, can optimize our teaching strategies to encourage curiosity and encourage thoughtful engagement in our students.

    In this episode, Chef Roche also mentions the book "Why Don't Students Like School" by Daniel Willingham (https://amzn.to/3PlJKIj), which is an invaluable resource that all educators should read and the information source for the majority of content in the episode. The book's subtitle is "A cognitive scientist answers questions about how the mind works and what it means for the classroom".

    CULINARY EDUCATORS’ BOOK: To get even more information on a wide variety of teaching topics, be sure to check out the book Dr. Roche co-wrote titled "Culinary Educators' Teaching Tools and Tips", which is published by Kendall Hunt (https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/culinary-educators-teaching-tools-and-tips).

  • Becoming An Effective Teacher

    A teacher's effectiveness is determined in large part by their subject matter competency, professional competency, and personal competency. Inadequacy in any one of these areas will have an adverse impact on student learning.

    In this episode, Dr. Colin Roche shares information from a variety of sources, including the research and writings of Dr. Andrew Johnson who is a Distinguished Faculty Scholar and Professor of Literacy at Minnesota State University. The knowledge he has and shares through his research is super valuable to the classroom teacher. Two of his books that Dr. Roche recommends, with their affiliate links, are listed below: 

    Teaching Strategies for All Teachers: Enhancing the Most Significant Variable (https://amzn.to/35UxCe8) - This book provides descriptions, explanations, and examples of a variety of research-based teaching strategies that will enhance all teacher's ability to teach effectively.

    Essential Learning Theories: Applications to Authentic Teaching Situations (https://amzn.to/3hECk2r) - This book examines human learning in the context of four types of research-based learning theories. Research-based theories provide the basis for good decision-making in education because teacher effectiveness and student learning are enhanced when research-based theories are used to design curriculum and daily lessons.

    CULINARY EDUCATORS’ BOOK: To get more information on the topics discussed in this episode, be sure to check out the book Dr. Roche co-wrote titled "Culinary Educators' Teaching Tools and Tips", which is published by Kendall Hunt (https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/culinary-educators-teaching-tools-and-tips)

  • Presenting Naked

    The ability to stand and deliver a powerful presentation that engages the whole minds of our audience is more important today than ever before, partly because of the fantastic reach that out talks can have!

    In this episode, Dr. Colin Roche shares information from two books on presenting, titled "I Can See You Naked" by Ron Huff, and "The Naked Presenter" by Garr Reynolds.

    Presenting Naked basically means connecting and engaging with an audience in a way that is direct, honest and clear. It means putting your audience first and being transparent, while allowing yourself to be vulnerable and exposed. Presenting Naked embraces, the idea of simplicity, integrity, and passion and is far more satisfying for both the presenter and the audience.

  • Podcasts in the Classroom

    Podcasting has been around for many years but has recently gained new interest and popularity due to new topics and celebrity hosts, as well as easier access to mobile technology apps that let you easily download and listen to podcasts “on the go”.

    Podcasts are a versatile medium which have also become more and more a part of education. Today students may encounter podcasts alongside other materials in their reading and listening assignments and teachers are starting to use podcasts in place of lecture videos, with some faculty even asking students to create their own podcast episodes to demonstrate their learning. In this episode, Dr. Colin Roche shares how you can use podcasts in your classrooms and provides you with some tips and resources to help you get started. 

    ABOUT THE SHOW: The Chef Educator podcast was created to be a comprehensive resource for new and "seasoned" culinary, baking & pastry, and hospitality teachers, instructors, and faculty at both secondary and post-secondary educational institutions.

  • Improving Teaching Through Practice

    Teaching is a cognitive skill just like any other, so how can we increase the space in our working memory, our factual subject knowledge, and our procedural knowledge? Well, listeners to this podcast have heard me say many times, it is virtually impossible to become proficient at a mental task without extended practice. Therefore, our best bet for improving our teaching is to practice teaching! In this episode, Chef Roche discusses a few strategies that he recommends, including peer observations using video, as well a keeping a teaching diary and / or starting a discussion group with fellow teachers.

  • Practice Testing for Students

    A recent survey of undergraduate students revealed that 84% studied by rereading their notes or textbook. Despite its popularity, rereading has inconsistent effects on student learning. In addition, rereading does not always enhance students’ understanding of what they read, and any benefits of rereading, over just a single reading, may not be long lasting. Though rereading might be relatively easy for students to do, they should be encouraged to use other strategies when they revisit their text and notes. In this episode, Chef Roche discusses one strategy he recommends which is called practice testing.

  • Upset Students Can't Learn

    Almost every student becomes angry at some point in school. After all, anger is a normal human emotion. And it is not a problem if a student becomes angry, as long as he or she expresses their feelings appropriately. However, it is a problem if they express their anger in a way that is hurtful to those around them or is disruptive to a class. A student who displays angry outbursts can throw a classroom into turmoil. They can also trigger strong feeling in us as the teacher. Our challenge in working with a student whose emotional temperature often reaches the boiling point is to first control our own feelings, as well as those of the student. And in this episode, you will learn various tips and techniques that can help you!

  • Long-Term Memory

    Neuroscience researchers have shown that when you learn something new, there is a physical change in your brain. You have approximately 86 billion brain cells and when you learn something new, some of your brain cells establish connections with other brain cells to form new networks of cells, which represent the new learning that has taken place.

    When frequently activated, these new networks have the potential to become long-term memories. And in this episode, we specifically focus on "long-term" memory which is helpful for any educator because knowing how long-term memories are formed and acting accordingly can lead to long-term learning success.

  • Working Memory

    Memory is what enables us to learn by experience, therefore memory is essential to survival. And in this episode, we specifically focus on "working" memory, the term most scientists prefer over "short-term" memory. We first discuss working memories limitations and then talk about some of the methods teachers can utilize for overcoming some of them.

  • Memory and Learning

    The brain's programming promotes survival of the animal and the species. This programming has guided mammalian development and adaptations for survival in the unpredictable and perilous environments in which most mammals live. And memory is what enables us to learn by experience, therefore memory is essential to survival.

    Without the ability to learn, store, and recall how we should respond to environmental dangers and to know when and how to run or fight, the individual has little chance of survival. There is only a very small formal distinction between "learning" and "memory" and the study of one becomes a study of the other, which is why an understanding of memory is so important to us as educators.

  • Writing Your Teaching Philosophy

    A teaching philosophy (also known as an educational philosophy, a teaching statement, a philosophy of education, a philosophy of teaching, etc.) is a self-reflective statement of your beliefs about teaching and learning. In addition to general comments, your teaching philosophy should discuss how you put your beliefs into practice by including concrete examples of what you do, or anticipate doing, in your classroom. Defining, explaining, and clarifying your educational philosophy will enhance your ability to align it with your teaching practice.

    Listen to this episode to find out exactly what they are, what they should contain, what format they should be written in, and how to begin writing or updating your own teaching philosophy statement. And if you would like a free copy of the Teaching Philosophy Workbook that Chef Roche uses with his classes or when he facilitates a faculty workshop on teaching philosophy writing, then click this link - http://bit.ly/chefworkbook

  • Exercise for the Brain

    We know that exercise is great for our bodies, but what about for our brains? Does going for a run, hitting the gym, or lifting some weights really affect the health or strength of our brains? The answer is yes according to current research! Exercise is as good for brains as it is for our bodies!

    An abundance of evidence supports the importance of exercise in students’ ability to learn. Our brains were shaped and sharpened by movement, and we continue to require regular physical activity in order for our brains to function optimally.

    A few of the recommended resources that I reference in this episode are the books, "Brain Rules" by John Medina, "The Art of Changing the Brain" by James Zull, "The New Science of Learning" by Terry Doyle and Todd Zakrajsek, “Brain Matters” by Patricia Wolfe, and “Mind, Brain, and Education” by David Sousa.

    Hosted by Dr. Professor Chef Colin Roche, the podcast is available for free in any app that supports podcasts (Sticher, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.) or through this link: www.chefeducator.com

  • How the Brain Works

    Learning is a complicated process. Several thousand years ago, the primary job of the human brain was to figure out how to find food, avoid getting eaten by a predator, and to find a mate. Today, in addition to those three basic functions, our brains are inundated with other tasks and facts that need to be learned. 

    And now, thanks to breakthroughs in neuroscience research, we can observe how the brain responds during learning. And these new insights into how the human brain learns makes it clear that many of the learning practices that faculty currently use or have used in the past, are highly inefficient, ineffective and just plain wrong.

    One of the prolific writers / researchers in this area is Dr. Judy Willis who was a practicing neurologist before she became a teacher. The book "Upgrade Your Teaching: Understanding by design meets neuroscience" that she co-authored with Jay McTighe is one I reference in this podcast episode. A few other recommended resources that I reference in this episode are the books, "How we Learn" by Benedict Carey, "The Art of Changing the Brain" by James Zull, and "The New Science of Learning" by Terry Doyle and Todd Zakrajsek.
