Episode Details

Many aspects of teaching can be improved by being more explicit. In this episode, Pam and Kim identify specific categories where explicit teaching is necessary, borrowing Piaget's distinction between social-conventional and logical-mathematical knowledge.

Talking Points:

• Being explicit about a goal doesn't mean teaching it as a step-by-step procedure.
• Good teaching requires explicit goals.
• Examples of Math Content Goals 
• Examples of Math Behavior Goals 
• Examples of Community Behavior Goals
