135. What Should Students Learn?
2/2/2024
Show Summary:
“Here is an essential principle of education: to teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.”
Maria Montessori
In this episode, Natasha and Claire delve into the subject of whether students should focus on acquiring specific knowledge or developing strong critical thinking skills built on discovering relationships. They explore the importance of equipping students with the ability to think independently and critically, weighing the balance between content knowledge and cognitive abilities. Additionally, they touch on the significance of public speaking skills, guidance on where to obtain effective scope and sequence resources, and other key aspects of fostering well-rounded and thoughtful learners in today's education landscape.
