Marion BradyWhats Worth Teaching?
The undergraduate curriculum is a disaster area. Ernest Boyer
It is a well-known scandal that our whole educational system is geared more
to categorizing and analyzing patches of knowledge than to threading them
together. Harlan Cleveland
We have lost sight of our responsibility for synthesizing learning. Robert
Stevens
The way it seems to go in schools now is to teach information all the
time and make it to the end of the semester or year on time. The art of
synthesizing and analyzing is lost in the race to finish, knowing the
class has been exposed to all the topics.

Concept Attainment The teacher takes a concept to be studied and
prepares examples of what the concept is and is not. Examples are
presented to students as yes or no items. Students must compare and
contrast attributes of the items, hypothesize, and articulate the concept.

One aspect we touched on a little bit earlier in the year and again on
Tuesday was how we try to teach the way weve learned. I solidified the
belief because upon further reflection, I have noticed myself following
in the same footsteps as some of my former teachers. Also, the
economic connections with anything has allowed me to think of how
everyday life can be an example of other concepts that students could
understand.
Has it challenged your thinking?
This has challenged my thinking in the way that it feels like there is so much
information and so many examples out there of various topics that instead of
what the book says, there could be more applicable examples the students
could relate to. Additionally, I have challenged myself to become more
intentional with cross-curricular methods. It is beneficial for students because
it can give them a connection to understand a topic
