How We Teach and How Students Learn - A Mismatch?

SOCS-C
New instructional methods are certainly important, but I feel the curriculum issue is just as important. Students need time to really learn and that is not possible with the breakneck pace required under current curriculum expectations.

  1. This is a problem for all teachers! But I think if we change the conversation we'd be better off. Don't teach more, teach better!

    All research on education says that more time spent with skills and concept development is better for students on all fronts. The new NGSS bears that out with less content and more skills. Is it our responsibility to "coach up" our administrators?
