Welcome to Craft & Draft, where we explore the art of teaching and the science of learning. In today’s episode, hosts Pam Ochoa and Jacob Chastain continue their summer book study of “The Knowledge Gap” by Natalie Wexler.

Join us as they explore chapters seven and eight in section two, “How We Got Here: The History Behind the Content-Free Curriculum.” Pam and Jacob discuss what knowledge actually is and what it will mean to education if the curriculum is narrowed to a selection of ‘appropriate knowledge.’  They each discuss bias and how it impacts testing and what is taught.

We also answer and read YOUR comments posted in the Patreon. Listen to see what we said about them! (But only here.)

Drop your comments, questions, or concerns below! We’d love to talk with you about this.
