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.
Season 2, Episode 3: The Forgotten Experiment
Zig Engelmann gets the chance of a lifetime: to put “direct instruction” to the test in one of the greatest educational experiments ever conducted. The results could have changed the direction of American education. Instead, they are challenged – and ultimately pushed aside.
