Sold a Story is an investigative podcast about how children learn: what works in the classroom, the science behind these ideas, and why this research is often not disseminated in schools. Season 1 revealed why so many children struggle to learn to read and sparked a wave of change across the country. In Season 2, we move beyond reading to the teaching itself.
Engelmann’s Direct Instruction has a strong evidence base – so why is it so hard to find in schools? We examine why schools continue to forgo it and visit a charter network in North Carolina that has been stuck there for more than a quarter century.
The post Sold a Story: Get Ready! appeared first in the Hechinger Report.
