029 Skills And Content
from Two Pint PLC Hosted by Laurence Woodruff & Michael Ralph
We must balance teaching content knowledge and professional skills. Will Dunn joins as a guest host on an episode dedicated to exploring how we pursue this balance throughout educational practice. We start with a discussion of how we should situate competencies in standards. Later, we read about the theory of embodied cognition. This theory emphasizes the importance of sensory experience, and we discuss how it impacts what students should see/feel/touch/smell/hear in our classroom. Finally, Will brings the conversation around to assessment practices. We wrestle with what common assessments should (and shouldn’t) do. We drink Shake, a chocolate porter from Boulder Beer Co in Boulder, CO.
