The Science of Teaching and Learning and Applying That To Lesson Planning

There is never an end to the positions that are being taken in various states and provinces concerning Education and far too often they are coming from a place of a lack of understanding about what we teach, how we teach and why we teach as well as how students learn and why they learn or don't learn. The latest headline is about teachers having to file their lesson plans a whole year ahead of their work so there will be an opportunity for parents to see and comment and criticize. In this podcast, I try to outline how we are now going back to where we were before I even began to teach and how that runs contrary to everything we now to be the case about success in teaching and learning. There are roles parents can play in this adventure we call school but it is not to be able to criticize and comment on lessons on a day to day basis.
