Todd Truitt And Jaime Osborne On Pedagogy And Content

On a Substack live Thursday, I sat down with teacher Jaime Osborne, and parent Todd Truitt, for a discussion about pedagogy and content and why and how your child might be getting shortchanged. Jaime gets into the engagement illusion, where the appearance of engagement masks a lack of learning. Todd shares his journey post-2020 into education activism and getting Dan-and Don-pilled (Willingham and Hirsch). We all discuss how inane and counterproductive it is that content-rich instruction has been coded as conservative.
