Hi there and welcome to the Structured Literacy Podcast. I'm Jocelyn and in this episode, recorded on the lands of the Palawa people here in Tasmania, I'm going to share my thoughts on an issue that many people have many viewpoints about: scripted teaching. Specifically, can great teaching be scripted?

Now, full disclosure, I don't have research to share with you that will definitively answer this question. A review of the literature on this issue yields a numbe…
