EP 22 What’s the Deal with Explicit Instruction vs Inquiry-based learning?

Episode Description

According to the latest Australian news reports, Australian children are performing terribly and the real culprit is the fact that teachers are not teaching using an explicit instruction model.
In today’s episode I explore very subtly (can you guess what it is?) what the issue might be, and exactly what it is we’re trying to achieve if we are not using a whole repertoire of strategies.
