Listen "009 Planning Is Essential, Plans Are Useless"
Episode Synopsis
Lesson planning and sequencing seem to be ever present problems for teachers and coordinators. Which topics should go where? Who should have control over making those decisions? Curriculum research in an economics course provides some insight into how we should choose our priorities (Transforming the economics curriculum by integrating threshold concepts). As we search for how to create a system for making sequencing decisions we’ll add a second study (Looking for Coherence in Science Curriculum) that suggests not all those questions have a single clear answer. Later we’ll turn to the impact of SES on how students’ brains respond to different educational situations (The Emerging (Social) Neuroscience of SES). We drink Tough Kitty, a seasonal milk stout from Boulevard Brewing Co.
