  • Ep 226: Choosing Problem Strings
    Oct 15 2024

    How can we help students who have always mimicked learn to reason through the content we need to teach? In this episode Pam and Kim lay out their approach to getting students up to speed while preparing them for the content of the day.
    Talking Points:

    • How to avoid students feeling belittled
    • Using a 1/3, 2/3 mindest to planning
    • Planning with the entire year in mind
    • Layering in complexity to build a single strategy
    • Only change one thing at a time
    • It may take longer in the beginning or when you switch a strategy
