The Cog Podcast
Welcome to The Cog Podcast, where we talk about all things public education. My name is Megg Acquilano and we call our podcast The Cog for a couple of reasons. Reason #1 is that I believe teaching is the profession that allows all other professions to exist. It's the cog or the center from which the spokes of our democracy originate. Reason #2 is that we're recording from the granite state, otherwise known as New Hampshire. NH is the home of the cog railway that climbs Mt. Washington — which is the world's first mountain-climbing cog railway and has been in operation since 1869.

What is a homework pass? It's a way for students to practice prioritizing and taking responsibility for their learning experience. Basically, students can 'pass' on two assignments per quarter or whatever you think is reasonable. You record that they used their 'Homework Pass' or it gets recorded electronically. It's fun!
